TRUE SELF EXHIBITION 2013

Currently on in Melbourne is a charity exhibition organised by The Jacky Winter Group along with Melbourne’s GPO . The exhibition ‘True Self’ –  links fashion, fine art and photography. The exhibition launches on Thursday May 30, and runs until Sunday June 23.

 The exhibition features 10 framed, large-scale fine art photographs by 20 of Australia’s most cutting-edge artists, including visual artistsBeci Orpin, Misha Hollenbach, Kate Tucker, and photographers Derek Henderson, Sean Fennessy and Jesse Marlow. The artworks will be the result of a collaboration between a visual artist and a photographer, with visual artists creating works that are then captured ‘in camera’ by a photographer. The result will be 10 original pieces of fine art photography, each drawing upon the themes of positive self-image.

 True Self visitors will also have the opportunity to buy each of the artworks in the exhibition as limited-edition A3 fine-art prints and A6 postcard packs, at MGPO’s purpose-built gallery space, designed by local studio Gloss Creative.All sales will directly benefit Fitted for Work, a not-for-profit organisation that helps women experiencing disadvantage find work.

BY BECI ORPIN & KAT MACLEOD A HIDDEN PLACE

‘Necklace / Houseplant’ by Beci Orpin and Kat Macleod for their joint show, A Hidden Place, opening in Melbourne tonight.

I wish I could have gone to the opening night of A Hidden Place but unfortunately I had to work. Over the last couple of days I have seen some sneak pictures of some of the works from the show. The show consists of collaborative works from Kat Macleod who is known for her painterly very feminine style. Whilst Beci Orphin work uses symmetry and geometry with a bright bold colour palatte. What a beautiful collaboration.Below is all the details of A Hidden Place and the duration of the show.
