Light Moves

The exhibition featured the work of 3rd Year photography students from the Creative Arts Program, School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne.

It examined the way that photographers use and control light to create atmosphere. Showcasing the diversity of photographic practices and how dynamic zones/light can be manipulated to create pre-visualised effects.

These practices range from digital manipulation through to traditional darkroom prints and alternative photographic processes such as liquid light and Polaroid lift-off.

Access for All

10 July-30 July 2007

Art in the Library hosted a photographic exhibition by the Australian Disability and Development Consortium (ADDC) which was launched in February 2007 in Canberra at Parliament House. The exhibition coincided with a two-day seminar on campus called Access for All hosted by Australian International Health Institute (AIHI) in Bouverie Street, which aimed to link the disability and development sectors. The photos were designed to show people with disability in a positive light and not as victims. The works were located on the first floor of the Baillieu Library, throughout PBCLC and the student study area.

An exhibition in the Baillieu Library by Art in the Library and Special Collections, curated by Andrea Hurt, Morfia Grondas, Tracey Caulfield and Pam Pryde.

View a slide show of the exhibition.

Planned to coincide with the 2007 Melbourne Wine and Food Festival, Tea: The Global Infusion drew from the local and wider community. A range of Cultural Collections items was on display, along with art works created especially for the exhibition. A number of aspects of this everyday pleasure were explored, including the history of tea, its social importance, medicinal uses, tea growing, tea trade and tea merchants.
