FIVE WINTER SHORT SHOWS at DRAW Space
HERE & THERE / Alex Karaconji & Daniel Elliott
7.30pm Sunday 21 June to 8.30am Wednesday 24 June
Two animated works are presented simultaneously in regional NSW and inner city Sydney, connecting Tamworth Regional Gallery’s outdoor projection space with DRAW Space gallery. Sydney artist Alex Karaconji’s Letter #1 brings the intimacy and looseness of a letter into stop-motion animation, while Armidale-based artist Daniel Elliott’s Shits for the Birds drifts through the soft atmospheres of regional life at dawn. Walk by the gallery to enjoy. Curated by Belinda Yee.

TIMELINE / Animate Newtown
2pm Thursday 25 June to 5pm Sunday 28 June
Drop in for an evolving community animation workshop. No experience needed! Together, we will draw, paint and collage along a reel of paper which will become a lively animation projected in the gallery. This animation technique is similar to the ‘paint on film’ approach used by Len Lye and Phil Evans. Presented by Sarah Eddowes, the workshop will run on:
Thursday 25 June 2-5pm. Opening event from 6pm.
Friday 26 June 2-5pm
Saturday 27 June 12-5pm
Sunday 28 June 12-5pm
Come and join a workshop – it’s free, no skill required.
DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER / Todd Fuller
6pm Thursday 2 July to 5pm Sunday 5 July
Don’t Forget to Remember is an experimental drawing performance that explores the fragile relationship between presence and disappearance, while considering the backdrop of Australia’s difficult histories of violence against the LGBTIQ community, and in particular gay and trans men at Australian beats. Reserve your free ticket now. Curated by Jeremy Smith.
Todd is represented by .M Contemporary, Sydney.
