Queensland Art Gallery Move workshop for Winton high schoolers

On the 9 November, high schoolers from Winton State School attended a workshop run by the Queensland Art Gallery, hosted by the Outback Regional Gallery, in the Sarah Riley Theatre, at the Waltzing Matilda Centre.

26 students attended, with Amanda Slack-Smith, a curator of Cinematheque, from the Qld Art Gallery, showed samples of different types of video art works by by Australian artists Daniel Crooks, Sean Gladwell, The Kingpins, Todd McMillan, Jessica MacNeil, Tracey Moffatt, TV Moore, Patricia Piccinini, David Rosetsky, Grant Stevens, John Tonkin, and Daniel Von Sturmer, from ‘Move’ an exhibition that opened in the Qld Art Gallery in April.

In order that students might understand both the conceptual, filmic methodologies as well as the historical contexts that underpin the practice of video art.

The children then made a visit to the Outback Regional Gallery to look at the BHP Cannington Waltzing Matilda Photographic Competition & Exhibition, hanging in the main gallery from 13 September 2010 to 19 November 2010.
