Events (valid week 30 Nov – 6 Dec):
Film Screening: Dutch
Light
Wednesday 2 December, 10.15am, Adam
Auditorium. Free Entry.
There’s an ancient belief that
the light in Holland is different from anywhere else, but
this has never been put to the test. Pieter-Rim and Maarten
de Kroon’s award winning documentary film explores the
significance, and mythologising of light in the Dutch
painting tradition, turning looking into a new experience.
Herself from a Dutch background, light has always been a key
interest for artist Gerda Leenards, who’s exhibition
Following the Blue Ribbon will be on display in the
Michael Hirschfeld Gallery. An exquisite film for a Saturday
morning. Film screening generously supported by the Embassy
of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Chinese brush
painting traditions: a demonstration
Wednesday
2 December 12.30pm Adam Auditorium. Free Entry.
Join Mr
Stan Chan for a performance of traditional Chinese brush
painting techniques, focusing on mountain and water
landscapes. Gerda Leenards, whose work is currently showing
in the Hirschfeld Gallery, was strongly influenced by this
style of painting on her recent trip to China Mr Chan will
provide an introduction to the subjects, processes and
materials traditionally used in Chinese painting, followed
by a narrated 30 minute demonstration, during which he will
complete a painting.
