Guildford Music Hall (next to the Guildford pub)

They want to get Gary the Honey man from Wesley Hill Market off to Cambodia to help defuse land mines. There are a lot of Vietnam vets working there for nothing to help diffuse a huge problem which will be there for 200 years to come. Kids are still getting their legs blown off and land use is still fairly hopeless even after all this time. There are many places where families and villages cannot sustain a livelihood for themselves because of the landmines that are still sitting there after all these years. They want to help Gary get over there and represent our community. The benefit is also to get the issue publicised. Once Gary is there, the Vietnam Association here in Australia seems to have money to sustain him once he is there but he has to pay his own way. There will be other bands involved and I will keep you posted as that takes shape.

Mamunya Photo Exhibition

Market Building Mostyn St Castlemaine

Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests is holding an exhibition of photos highlighting the remarkable beauty of our local woodlands.

Photos have been selected from the gallery of the website of the Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests www.fobif.org.au

The title of the exhibition emphasises that apparently modest scrub can reveal wonders when you look closely.

The exhibition continues a tradition the Friends started in 1999 with their first Mamunya festival. This word comes from a Dja Dja Wurrung chant, ‘pata, mamunya, jirarunga,’ meaning, ‘wait a while, don’t touch it, growing up.’ Goldfields woodlands were devastated in the nineteenth century, and their regeneration has been a long and remarkable story. This exhibition celebrates that regeneration.

The exhibition will finish at the end of October.

Jim Rowe Retrospective
Opening Friday 6th June at 6 oclock
Closing 27th June
Curated by Greg Smith 54722242

Jim Rowe was born in London, England in 1931. Talking to Jim about his youth he'll probably mention WW2, being relocated to the country, and the unreal theatre of planes, crashes and bombings. Surprising, because we know of Jim's artworks to be full of beauty and joy. He studied art at Hammersmith, and then Kingston-on-Thames. Jim says that there were so many relocated Polish students that he sat in a corridor. The Polish people were very shocked says Jim. He also remembers this time for its intensive life drawing classes.

Like Andy Warhol, his first employment included window dressing, and much package design. (He described himself as #3 biscuit retoucher.) And layouts for Columbia pictures. He fondly recalls the foundation garment retouches, where plump models were used to reduce creasing, resulting in the need to remove the ensuing bulges above and below! “Ticklish work - which I enjoyed,” quips Jim.

In the early 60's Jim moved to Ferntree Gully with his family. Here he enjoyed the exhibitions, excursions, life drawing and theatre events of “The Hut,” the local art group. Working with sculpture Jim had a successful exhibition with a Polish friend at the Warehouse Gallery which received excellent revues.

Moving to Castlemaine in the early 1980's Jim continued his painting, sculpting and printmaking amongst the vibrant local scene, allowing his joyous, humorous work into the homes of central Victoria, much via Wallace Bros Art Gallery. Many of us are lucky enough to own a bronze sculpture completed at the Garage Art Foundry in Elphinstone. And everyday, the south facing mural on Tonks Hardware fence endures, cheering each and every visitor. Is anybody still wearing their Walking the Fish T-shirt from the inaugural Castlemaine Fringe?

Continually productive, Jim has also sold his works through local markets in St Kilda and Bega. His art is represented in collections worldwide. Now CASPA gallery proudly hosts this retrospective of Jim Rowe. Don't miss this opportunity to view, and to share a glass of wine with Jim at the opening. Naturally some new works will be on sale.

Jim Rowe Retrospective is opening at CASPA (above Stonemans Bookroom) in Castlemaine, at 6pm, on 4th June and remains on display until the end of June.

'YELLOW BOX TREE'

Local artist Candy Stevens is back at CASPA with her latest
installation, *Yellow Box Tree. *
CASPA Director, Ben Laycock had this to say; “You’ve got it
wrong, you’re meant to make boxes out of trees, not trees out of boxes!”
Dade Kelly, CFA Volunteer had this to say, "Its a bushfire hazard, cut it down"
Eliza Tree had this to say, "Yellow Box can be a serious afliction"

The Box Tree Installation will be at CASPA from Monday 11 October 2009 until
it is chopped down for further use. Made from art supply boxes, the
installation reflects our local environment - the yellow box tree and our
local consumer- the artist, reflecting the dichotomy of living
environmentally conscious, sustaining an art practice and recognising ones
part in the hypocrisy.
My art practice deals with the duality and irony of life. This work
reflects the apparent hypocrisy of living a conscious environmentally
sustainable existence and inevitably being a part of greater society’s
constraints” said Candy.
Paradoxically the tree is also a symbol of life and growth, representing the
support of art in society. The *Yellow Box Tree, *bearing the brands of
materials used by artist to express their passions and personalities, also
symbolises the artist who nurtures the soul of society and brings forth
cultural livelihood.
