Accidental Archive. Photographer Louise Whelan
is known for her honest portrayal of outsider
communities and cultures. This exhibition brings
together her powerful series of images documenting
the Portside DIY Skate Space on the Northern
Beaches through photographs, sound and bio art
installations. Whelan’s intrigue of this site is its
continual transformation, its inhabitants, its duality
of uses and the idea that place and identity are
inextricably bound to one another. To Oct 20 Stu
Spence: Unclear, Becoming Clearer. Spence’s
photographs are oblique observations of fleeting
moments. Ambiguous in meaning, they wait for
interpretation and narrative. He is a photographic
artist not afraid of ‘blur’ or ‘grain’, or the breaking of
conventions of composition. This exhibition illustrates
the storytelling possibilities of the photographic
medium with original interpretations from writers,
poets, and some of Australia’s most celebrated
songwriters, all inspired by a Spence image.Stu Spence, Come on, Take my hand, 2007
