UNTIL SUNDAY 30 JULY BATHURST REGIONAL ART GALLERY EXHIBITION Location: Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, 70-78 Keppel St Time: Tues to Sat 10am - 5pm; Sun & most public holidays 11am - 2pm; Mon by appointment Cost: Free Contact: 6333 6555 Website: www.bathurstart.com.au SOFT CORE Soft Core presents artistic practices that explore the many facets of ‘softness’ - from large-scale inflatables to forms made from soft materials to materials that simply look soft. Soft Core investigates these practices by presenting existing works and newly commissioned works from 12 Australian and International artists who question the fluctuating meaning of what it means to be soft. An exhibition curated by Michael Do in conjunction with Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre and toured by Museums & Galleries of NSW. TODD FULLER: ICARUS OF THE HILL Todd Fuller’s hand drawn films have been captivating audiences since 2010. His unique style of animation combines analogue filmmaking methodologies with drawing and painting techniques. In March 2017 Todd participated in the Hill End Artist in Residence program. During this time he created the animation Icarus of the Hill, which combines his experiences with imagery from Australian Art History around the site and Greek mythology. The resulting body of work explores this significant place, its history and our relationship to it. RACHEL MILNE: AFTER OLLEY Rachel Milne is a painter who works from life alla prima in oil on board. Her work is observation based, with a focus on light and seeing the beauty in the everyday. In June 2016, Rachel spent four weeks in Hill End, drawn to the village by her intense curiosity, and her fascination with the life of Margaret Olley and her connection to Hill End. While in residence, Rachel documented her experiences, from a celebratory chocolate cake to the rich domestic interiors of Haefligers and Murrays Cottages. JO DAVENPORT: MAPPING HILL END Created during a residency at Hill End in October 2015, Jo Davenport’s recent series of abstract works draw from the visual language of cartography. Moving away from topographical and physical representations, Jo’s paintings map the emotions associated with ‘being in’ the landscape of Hill End. Working with paper – a befitting cartographic material – the artist considers the artistic currency of maps as both analytical tools and aesthetic objects, calling into question what makes an abstract rendering into a map and, likewise, what makes a map an artwork. 3 BATHURST VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE 1800 68 1000 JULY RANKIN COTTAGE CRAFT – WINTER WARMERS Location: Rankin Cottage Crafts, 117 Rankin St Time: 10am - 4pm; closed public holidays Cost: Free entry Contact: 6331 7572 Facebook: www.facebook.com/rankincottagecrafts Brrrrrrrr……..winter has arrived!

Before leaving Germany, Miksevicius had studied at a Bauhaus-style art school in Darmstadt. On arrival Miksevicius was settled at the Bathurst Migrant Camp but unlike most refugees who were transitioned out of the migrant camp after a few weeks, Miksevicius stayed for nine months. The camp director, William Rees, was aware of Miksevicius’ artistic skills and employed him to decorate the walls of the former army barracks’ recreation hall with caricatures of great Australian sportsmen, including swimmer John Marshall and tennis champion John Bromwich. Miksevicius was also provided with a studio space and encouraged to paint. It was here, in the Bathurst Migrant Camp, that he began to experiment painting with oils and trying to come to terms with the light, the gum trees and the Bathurst landscapes. Essentially, it was here in Bathurst that he began his 70-year career as an artist in Australia. This exhibition Jurgis Miksevicius: In the light of the sun and shadow of the moon charts his development as a painter: his studies at art school in Germany, his early paintings and murals at the Bathurst Migrant Camp, and then focuses on later landscapes and philosophical ‘moon’ paintings as examples of the many genres he explored throughout his creative life.

This exhibition brings together photography, video, installation and sound works drawn from the artist’s early conceptual and performative practice of the 1970s through to his more recent focus on still and moving imagery in the 21st century. Works selected demonstrate the range of media Kreckler employs in his desire to explore, extrapolate and test our understanding of our physical, cultural and social surrounds. Derek Kreckler: Accident & Process is a PICA touring exhibition curated by Hannah Mathews. HARRIE FASHER: THE LAST CHARGE Harrie Fasher’s monumental sculpture The Last Charge captures the raw emotion of the last charge of the Light Horse Brigade at the Battle of Beersheba on October 31, 1917. This powerful and terrifying vision of cavalry in full flight evokes the roar and chaos of battle, and the indefatigable bond between horse and rider.

The original weatherboard building was described in the Shepparton Advertiser, in February 1918 as 'A great big building towering over everything else in the locality'.
