contemporary art space

coming up at red gallery       30 september - 17 october 2009 

JANE POYNTER AND CHRISTINE WOOD

One Place: Two Views

This exhibition takes the form of a photographic dialogue between two artists working with ideas of urban space and placement. For the past few months, Jane and Christine have embarked on numerous exploratory journeys around the streets of their North Melbourne neighbourhood. First scouting out locations of personal significance, the artists then travelled separately to these areas to capture images of the surrounding environment.

‘We both work from home, have family who live in the area, shop locally, and frequent the same dentist, doctor and coffee shops. We avoid leaving our space if possible and we often don’t leave for days on end. And although our paths cross daily, we only meet occasionally by chance and more often by arrangement. For this project we set out to explore our local environment separately to create a personal record and then bring our different views together in a single picture frame.’ 

Jane and Christine’s different interpretations of the same geographic terrain are presented in One Place: Two Views. This is the beginning of a visual map: a renegade cartography of local space.

Jane Poynter and Christine Wood are both photographers based in North Melbourne. They have been regularly exhibiting for over a decade, and have previously collaborated on several exhibitions.

Christine, here are the pairs we did today. I’ve burnt a backup disc of all the material, let’s see how we go working on each other’s files. I really like the third Errol Street pair you did. I’ve also put a pdf of them all together on the disc so you can see them all together. Jane

Next Steps…

Christine

Let’s do Errol Street this week. Next Thursday we’ll catch up again and put two more images together and do a sample print so that we can get a quote from the framers.

We should have most of our photographing finished by 22 July before I go away so that I can work on them during that time.

Jane

Yeah!
