VISUAL ARTS AND HISTORY: EXHIBITIONS AND DISPLAYS
ALBURY ART GALLERY
MORE SEEING IS NOT UNDERSTANDING: PONCH HAWKES
FEBRUARY 16 TO APRIL 7
Odd scenarios emerge from the night: a woman abandons a baby as she rushes through a train station, a man skips rope in a drive-through bottle shop, a couple perform ballroom dancing in a deserted arcade. These scenarios beg for a narrative that would explain why they came about and how they unfolded, however, photographer Ponch Hawkes is more interested in savouring the ambiguity, offering enigmatic glimpses that excite the imagination. Free event.
NOT DEAD YET
UNTIL MARCH 31
Don't miss this landmark retrospective exhibition by two of the Northern Territory's pioneers of alternative printmaking, Therese Ritchie and Chips Mackinolty.
Not Dead Yet traces developments and techniques in traditional printmaking, collage and photographic media. This is a powerful and persuasive graphic art of protest, propaganda and people's politics. For more than three decades, Ritchie and Mackinolty have captured the lives, landscapes and major events that have defined the Northern Territory both as home and as an enduring Australian frontier. Free event.

It will be on display in the library from today (February 13, 2013). Hollows was a passionate ophthalmologist who became known for his work helping restore the eyesight of countless thousands of people in developing countries and his passionate plight to improve Indigenous health in Australia. In 1993 he lost his battle with cancer aged 63. Two decades on, his legacy lives on. The Fred Hollows Foundation works in about 20 countries throughout Africa, South and South East Asia and the Pacific. A significant amount of work is also carried out throughout Indigenous communities in Australia. Over the past five years alone, the Foundation has supported almost one million sight-restoring operations, trained more than 31,000 eye health workers including surgeons, provided over $10 million in medical equipment and expanded work in more than 55 Indigenous communities.
