2011 Foto Bienalle

Opening on August 20, the annual Ballarat International Foto Biennale (BIFB) will showcase a large collection of works by local & international photographers. BIFB runs until September 18 so you'll have four weeks to drive, or take a lazy train trip, to Ballarat to see photographs from hundreds of artists. The Biennale's Core Program will feature 20+ artists and the Fringe Program covers about 80 events.

Three of my polaroid prints will be part of the Fringe Program in a group show by Melbourne Silver Mine (MSM) - a wonderful group of dedicated film shooters. Check out MSM's flickr stream... I recommend making yourself a cuppa beforehand - you could be browsing a while! 

These polaroids were part of a small solo show I had in October, so they may look familiar. Since they were framed and ready to go, I decided to put them out in the public realm for a second time.

(cnr Mair St)
Aug 20 - Sept 18



The show will be open Thursdays to Sundays

Thur & Fri: 11-5pm  //  Sat & Sun: 10-6pm

Hope you can make the trip... 
the BIFB should be well worth it!

  9. I don't know what it is exactly that I love most about these (especially the eggs). The colours, the textures, the warmth? Whatever it is - it's magnetic Emma!

    Ballarat, here we come;)
