Light Music Lis Rhodes

Light Music, presented in ACMI’s free Gallery 3 as part of Light: Works from Tate’s Collection, is Lis Rhode’s response to what she perceived as the lack of attention paid to women composers in European music. Rhode’s film set out to counter not only the enduring hegemony of narrative cinema, but also male domination within the avant-garde at the time. It was a call for a feminist filmmaking aesthetics embracing both the abstraction, and collective sociality, of light, shadow and smoke.

Monochrome

ArtSpace at Realm: What I Wish I’d Told You

Claire Bridge and Chelle Destefano with Deaf community, centres Deaf voices, identity, language and culture. Auslan storytellers affirm Deaf experiences and diverse, complex identities, in an immersive exhibition of large-scale video projections, which bring visitors into a Deaf world. In this collaboration of over seventy Deaf and hearing allies, empowered Deaf storytellers draw on decolonising strategies of truth-telling, provocation, and self-representation, to challenge audist colonisation of Deaf lives, bodies, language, and knowledges.

Shared with humour, wit, courage, and care, What I Wish I’d Told You transforms the Art Space into a Deaf space and Deaf Cultural experience. What I Wish I’d Told You is supported by the Victorian College of the Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts and Music at the University of Melbourne, Australia Council, Creative Victoria, Regional Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne, West Space/Footscray Community Arts Commission, Hyphen Wodonga Commission and the Maroondah Arts and Culture Grant. Opening event Thursday 6 October, 6pm–7.30pm.

19 September—18 November

ArtSpace at Realm: Training the Eye

Artur Lyczba

For the last six years Artur Lyczba has been experimenting with soft pastel and ink on different types of paper in a process of self-exploration. Technique plays a secondary role and this allows the artist to express himself through the changing images as they reveal themselves on paper. Works in the exhibition Training the Eye are joined by this common theme. Lyczba’s mental state plays an important role in how works are developed with an aim of achieving flow, where his self dissolves in unity with the moment.

19 September—18 November

Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery: Habitat
