ANNE ZAHALKA
Opening next week at ARC ONE Gallery will be a new series of works by ANNE ZAHALKA titled Threshold. Naomi Cass, Director of the Centre for Contemporary Photography (Melbourne) has written the catalogue essay:
“In this series of works photographed in Morocco, Anne Zahalka represents many thresholds—doorways, arches, a crossroad, a highway and a crumbling film set. Like Janus [god of thresholds] who embodied the value of looking both forward and backward, Zahalka invokes the slippery transition between documentary and staged photography, between ‘participant observer’ and tourist."
We are looking forward to seeing the works installed.

MARIA FERNANDA CARDOSO
MARIA FERNANDA CARDOSO has been selected by the Green Square Public Art Program to develop an installation in the South Sydney Hospital area. The installation, called While I Live I Will Grow, is made of narrowleaf bottle trees of different ages planted among sandstone garden beds. The sandstone blocks will be sandblasted with text providing the date of birth of each tree, horticultural information and recipes for the roots, which when read from above spell out the name of the installation. While I Live I Will Grow is about the growth of Green Square as a community, as well as the personal growth of individuals, families and children in the area.
