(R) Nocturne (Secret Garden #02), 2015.
Photographs by Patricia Casey.
Patricia Casey. MURMUR.
09-29 September. OPENING Sunday 13 September 2-4pm
This beautiful work defines the meaning of ‘slow art’ – each photograph taking anywhere from 10-40hours to complete. All handstitched with tiny loops and back stitch, using cotton, silk and metallic thread, photographic artist Patricia Casey first prints her beautifully structured images on archival georgette, cotton or watercolour paper. This collection is exquisite and unique. ‘Murmur’ is about memory – about how we remember.
Also opening on the same day in the upstairs gallery space will be an exhibition of Arthere photographers – Unforeseen (Catherine Cloran, Zorica Purlija, Chris Round, Niki Gudex, Rosalie A. Nilson) curated by Sandy Edwards. The gallery will certainly be abuzz with talent so come and say hi at the Opening.
Janet Clayton Gallery, 406 Oxford Street, Paddington

ON NOW IN SYDNEY until end of September…
Vedat Acikalin. Gallipoli Then & Now: Bonds Forged by WarUntil 30 September in Sydney. Level 2, Customs House, Circular Quay. FREE Open Daily.
TOURING NATIONALLY to 5 cities: Sydney, Hobart (closed), Perth (Oct), Melbourne (Nov), Canberra (Dec).
Also currently touring in Turkey, on now in Istanbul until end of September.
A documentary series 30 years in the making. This poignant collection really tells us about the humanness of those directly touched by this war and the bonds and friendships that stemmed from connections between the Aussies, New Zealanders and the Turks. Families may feel pride in their fathers and grandfathers for fighting, or dying, or going to war, but I think the pride is not in them fighting in this war, but in their bravery for being there at all, whatever folly, misguided sense of adventure, or propaganda led them there.
The Touring Exhibitions to Hobart, Perth, Melbourne and Canberra are curated by
Sandy Edwards of ARTHERE.

ON NOW IN WELLINGTON, country NSW…
Asher Milgate. Survivors. 60,000 years.
Extended until Monday 5th October 2015.
In March this year Survivors was shown in Dubbo at Western Plains Regional Gallery and over 18,000 people visited this exhibition. Now it’s showing in the home town of the Elders photographed and where Asher himself grew up – Wellington in country New South Wales.
This powerful series documents the life of the traditional owners, the Binjang people of the Wiradjuri nation. Survivors records stories from Wellington’s elders – and elders in waiting – about life at Nanima, the Common and on the outskirts of town. In 1832 the first colonial inland Aboriginal mission was established in Wellington, which became known as the Nanima Mission in 1910. The mission became the longest continually operating Aboriginal reserve in Australia. The elders of Wellington shared with Asher some of their most intimate memories; tales of their families, of love, regret, loss, hardship and hope. A superbly crafted exhibition and one we hope to bring to Sydney.
Macquarie Theatre, 36-42 Swift Street, Wellington (country NSW).

| MY MOVIE & BAR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MONTH, JUST BECAUSE… |
 |
MY FAVOURITE MOVIE OF THE MONTH…
The Salt of the Earth. A film by Wim Wenders about photographer, Sebastiao Salgado.
It was in the 1980s and I stumbled into the Byron Map Gallery in Oxford Street. I loved that gallery at the time with its beautiful light and decorative ceilings – it was an old ceiling plaster shop and they were good at ceilings! The exhibition was a small collection from Salgado’s Workers series. That work changed me somehow, or my perception of photography. It made me really see its power. How someone can be so masterful with capturing the world around us – its goodness and shocking low points – and make you stop in your tracks with a thump in your chest. Sebastiao Salgado did that. This documentary 30 years later does that. I am sure every photographer out there has seen this – and if you have then see it again. And for everyone else this film is a must see…

FAVOURITE RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH…
Malabar. South Indian Cuisine (Darlinghurst, Sydney)
One of my favourite local restaurants in Darlo. My family has been eating here since it opened years ago in 2003. The chef is from Kerala in the south and the food, atmosphere and service are spot on every time. I love the Goan Fish Curry and the dosai, but everything is good. When friends are in town they always ask to go to Malabar! This is a photograph I took of Mohammed Sali, the owner and head chef of Malabar, for Shoot the Chef Competition in 2010 and it was selected as one of the Finalists. I thought he fitted in well with the royal family. The restaurant has two fantastic floor to ceiling historical photographic reproductions. This one is of the Royal Family of Gujurat – a pic you can look at for ages, discovering new things all the time. When the restaurant relocated earlier this year, the one thing everyone wanted was to see these photographs again – and they are here with other smaller pics around the walls.
