Full Spectrum Workshop and Exhibition
Last weekend two Adelaide-based photographic artist’s Will Nolan and Joe Felber facilitated workshops in Port Lincoln for a group of local enthusiastic photographers. Participants were also treated to a sneak preview of the Full Spectrum exhibition due to open in Port Lincoln during August.
Gregory Ackland in conjunction with Joe Felber and Will Nolan will present a collection of recent work in Full Spectrum, a group exhibition at Port Lincoln Walter Nicholls Gallery, Civic Hall from 2 August to 16 August 2013.
The exhibition will then tour South Australian regional galleries from Port Lincoln to Tanunda in the coming years.
Full Spectrum is an investigation into representation, perception and abstraction by artists Gregory Ackland, Joe Felber and Will Nolan. Designed to challenge the viewer’s perspective of photography today, each artist has experimented with a range of image-making processes in order to engage both the still and moving image as a conceptual and cultural object.
“All of us are interested in investigating how each of our divergent practices within the same discipline can hold together a fluent and cohesive conversation within a gallery setting,” explains Will Nolan. “We worked closely together to discuss and develop our theoretical understandings and to challenge our individual practices.”
Gregory Ackland is Studio Head of Photography & Digital Media at the Adelaide College of the Arts. His latest works continue to investigate the dualistic, centering on beauty, connectedness and fragility.
Joe Felber’s work is a continuous wave evolving with an interdisciplinary practice including photography, drawing, printmaking, painting and audio recordings. Exhibiting his work across three continents over the past 15 years has informed Felber’s current practice, which has become a ‘performance’ of physical and discursive displacement.
Will Nolan is a graduate of UniSA’s School of Art, Architecture and Design, an emerging artist who was selected for the Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition in both 2008 and 2009 and he was featured as one of only two South Australian artists in the 2009 Off the Wall Melbourne Art Fair. In Full Spectrum, Nolan experiments with the nexus of photography and installation.
