 | 13 September 2011 - 14 October 2011 EXHIBITION THE FALL BEFORE FALL Conceived as a memento mori (a reminder of death), the artists will be considering the cultural and social processes that animate our understanding of 9/11. Several questions are raised in the exhibition: How do we represent 'the events' of history when they are processed by saturated mediation? How do the images of history derive their power through spectacle and sensation? And how in turn does sensationalised spectacle regulate ideological meanings when restaged as cultural artefact? Contact the gallery for details of the public program which will accompany this exhibition, scheduled for 13 September.

 | 13 May 2011 - 14 October 2011 CURATED EXHIBITION ILDIKO KOVACS Down the Line 1980-2010 Curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre Opening Thursday 12 May. Exhibition runs until 3 July 2011. Ildiko Kovacs has amassed a striking body of abstract paintings that reveal a unique and singular sensibility. Situated somewhere between the line and the land, Kovacs has developed a gestural visual language drawn from abstraction’s Indigenous and non-Indigenous ties. Ildiko Kovacs: Down the Line utilises the entire regional gallery for a dazzling survey of key works produced over a three-decade period. A major book on Ildiko Kovacs with essays by Daniel Mudie Cunningham and Terence Maloon will be published to coincide with this exhibition.

 | 1 January 2011 - 14 October 2011 ART COLLECTOR PROFILE Daniel Mudie Cunningham is named an 'Agenda Setter' in a 2-page profile featured in Art Collector Magazine (Issue 55, January 2011). Carrie Miller profiles Daniel as part of the '50 Things Collectors Need to Know' for 2011. Miller writes: "Daniel Mudie Cunningham has the type of resume that can make you weary just looking at it. He's a genuine art world polymath: artist, curator, writer and academic... So what makes Cunningham a significant player in the contemporary art scene? One thing that distinguishes Cunningham from other arts professionals is his extraordinary creatve and intellectual energy - an energy which is simultaneously focused and also ranges acorss a broad variety of interests and roles. Another is his ability to connext complex academic ideas - such as those around well-rehearsed conceptual tropes such as identity and difference - to the politics and ethics of everyday life. This makes his projects accessible and relevant to a broad audience while remaining thought provoking... Cunningham is widely admired for the passion and enthusiasm he brings to his ventures, and for his support for emerging artists and the Australian arts sector in general. Leading arts commentator Andrew Frost is one such admirer: 'Cunningham's work as a curator has produced exhibitions and projects that have been essential viewing, not just for the conceptual rigour, but also because their sense of playfulness and finger-on-the-pulse inclusion of new artists is a measure of the zeitgeist.'" Art Collector Art Collector commissioned photographer Stephen Oxenbury to photograoh Daniel, who appears with Kermit at The Fishers Ghost Carnival at Campbelltown |
