L-R Untitled (Ed) 2006 by Stuart Sandford and Untitled 2009 by Quinnford + Scout

"The artists selected for this exhibition are ones I’ve admired as contemporaries during the last few years of my own art practice. The cheeky playfulness of Stuart Sandford’s images and ideas, the sensitivity and wonder in both the works of Quinnford + Scout and Hana Davies, and the astute and beautifully crafted inquiries by Sam Townsend have always left me wanting to see more, see what they wanted to show us, as viewers, next..."
Clinton Hayden, Curator of This Time: 5 international views on the Top Floor

GLG Midsumma Selection - exhibition highlights - 2 - 14 February

From 'There's something I need to tell you', Janice Appleton

Guildford Lane Gallery is delighted to welcome back Midsumma. This year, the festival brings a curated program to the gallery with Queer City Lane Dwellers, a showcase of work including visual arts as well as musical, spoken and dramatic performance.

Visitors can look forward to works such as Janice Appleton's 'There is something I need to tell you', a re-invented bedroom telling the story of one of Australia's few legally married same-sex couples. In 'My Pop Life', Michael Brady offers a diary reading exposing the thoughts and feelings of a pop-obsessed eighties teen, while Brad Gunn presents 'Characters of the Jungle-Seed', a sculpture series based on the surreal creatures of the original screenplay 'Jungle-seed'. Also, in a much-anticipated series of performance, David Rogers-Smith will sing songs from his debut album, 'In My Life'.

Brand new Wednesday Project
Hands Free: Software doing its own thing
Ollie Bown, Centre for Electronic Media Art (CEMA) at Monash University
Wednesday 17 February from 6pm

Electronic musician, programmer and researcher Ollie Bown produces GLG's first Wednesday Project of 2010. Collaborating with clarinetist Brigid Burke and other musicians and programmers, Ollie will showcase a series of events.
Ollie builds on a work he did in London exploring live algorithms, autonomous pieces of software "that can engage an improvising musician (and audience) in a meaningful interaction". Bringing together programmers and computer musicians to work together in similarly improvised performances, 2010's first Wednesday Project will be a chance to see this innovative work.
Every third Wednesday of the month, January to March
