EXHIBITION ARCHIVE 1999
14 February - 7 March 1999
(Festival of Perth 1999 Exhibition)
'Equally accomplished as a painter and draughtsman, Allan Mitelman has developed an art of 'sensibility' whose acheivements are rare, precious, perfectionist and deliberately resricted in scope. Mitelman's monochrome paintings isolate and 'produce' specific experiences of colour, and viewers may find themselves seeming to listen to the colour just as intently as they look at it.
'As painterly vibratos go, Mitelman's ventures into tremulous iridescent effects are remarkably discreet and restrained.'
Terence Maloon
Allan Mitelman Floor Talk : 4pm Sunday 21 February 1999 at Galerie Düsseldorf (Free)

'At times, the simpler the image, the vaster the drea'.
..the corner is a haven that ensures us of one of the things we prize most highly - immobility. It is the sure place, the place next to my mobility ... Consciousness of being at peace in one's corner produces a sense of immobility, and this in turn radiates immobility ... we have to designate the space of our immobility by making it the space of our being.
Gaston Bachelard
From The Poetics of Space 1958 (translated by Maria Jolas)

LIDIJA DOMBROVSKA LARSEN
Paintings : 1949 - 1999
Born in Riga in 1925 Lidija Dombrovska Larsen moved to Perth from Copenhagen some fifteen years ago. She brought with her, four decades of artistic activity leaving behind her deep involvement in the rich cultural heritage which was European Modernism. The key art movement with which she was involved was CoBrA (1948 - 1951), This was a Northern European movement initiated by Asger Jorn, Carl Henning-Pedersen and the critic poet Christian Dotremont. It also included such artists as Pierre Alechinsky.
This powerful exhibition traces the development of Dombrovska Larsen's paintings from her early CoBrA and European Modernist traditions to her current Paintings which draw heavily on Australian popular culture.
9 - 30 May 1999
STUART RINGHOLT
Exhibition of New Works - PREVIEW
It is often difficult to discover what a work of art is about .... We learn about the work as we go. This is always going to be a question of how much we are prepared to read from it, or through it, to our own experience ....
These questions came to mind last weekend while I was looking at Stuart Ringholt's powerful, indeed moving exhibition at Galerie Düsseldorf ....
Most of what the work could be said to be about cannot not be seen. We experience it as the outcome of a complex history ....

A MATTER OF TIME - NEW PAINTNGS
123 x 600 cm (each 123 x 100 cm)
New Works by Janis Nedela In this second series exploring Suzi Gablick's proposition that Modernism has failed, Janis Nedela explores the pleasure to be found in pencils and crayons as objects, patterns and codes; as well as in the reconstruction of their constituent materials.
The work is complex, sophisticated and hugely enjoyable.
