COLAB OPENING NIGHT

“Co.lab
Words and Art 2012

About Co.lab:
“This exhibition has been an exercise in collaboration from the very beginning. Hugh Waller, founder of Bendarts and one of the participating artists, approached us here at View Point with the idea of running a show to coincide with the inaugural Bendigo Writers Festival. Many coffees and brainstorming sessions later, we had thrashed out the idea of a collaborative exhibition, bringing writers and visual artists together to create a dialogue between words and art. The collaborative process has taken on a life of it’s own within the individual pairings – with some groups choosing to create entirely new pieces, revamp past works or team up for the entire creative process, both written and visual.

For many of the participants, this was the first time they had met and worked with their collaborative partner, for others they were working within a long standing creative partnership or working with a respected colleague to produce new and exciting works. This teaming up of creatives has produced an extremely strong body of work, showcasing the talents of these emerging Australian writers and artists.”
