camera phone photography
Wed September 1 - Sat September 18 2010
Opening Thursday 2 September 2010, 6-8pm
As analogue photographers embrace slight blurs and faults within their photographs, so do mobile phone photographers – the quality is rarely good and the final image (if ever physically printed) is always a surprise.
With newer phones and the continuous search for improved quality we are slowly losing the grainy textured mobile phone photographs we use to love and embrace. There are even programs or applications you can download to your phone that replicate the old analogue way of taking a photograph, whether it is for a blurred edge, the aesthetic of a Polaroid image or even the look of an aged 1960s photograph.
Pixel Perfect showcases photographs taken exclusively with a mobile phone camera, by local emerging artists.

Photographs by Simone Darcy
Wed August 11 - Sat August 29 2010
Opening Thursday 12 August 2010, 6-8pm
Portrait photographer Simone Darcy photographs the people close to her, sharing with the viewer a level of intimacy with her subjects on one level, though this changes with the unsettling nature of the held gaze. Darcy creates a story within each portrait, which are sometimes apparent and at other times obscure.
