Hijacked 2 - Australia / Germany
Curated by Mark McPherson (Aus) and Ute Noll (Ger)
Hijacked explores the socio-cultural landscapes of Germany and Australia through the diverse talents and perspectives of 32 contemporary photographers. With a focus on the young, the boundary-riding and the fringe-dwelling, Hijacked is layered with imagery that is variously evocative, confronting, dreamlike and incisive.
Building on the unprecedented success of Hijacked 1 (2008), Hijacked 2 - Germany / Australia is both a substantive book and a major exhibition that reinforce and expand upon each other: the exhibition through its experiential immersion and the book through its reflective analysis. Both eschew a simple linear critical argument in favour of a multiplicity of dialogues between works and commentators. What happens between images is as important as any given image content.

Zeitgeist Becomes Form
German Fashion Photography 1945 - 1995
Friday 23 July - Saturday 28 August 2010
Tue - Fri: 12.00 - 7.00pm, Sat & Sun 10.00am - 6.00pm
Gallery 1&2
Both photography and fashion are viewed as manifestations of the Zeitgeist; the spirit of the times. They both have the power to reflect back at us not only who we are, but who we want to be.
This exhibition reflects not only developments in fashion, but also the way German society has perceived itself, and sought to be perceived, in the past 50 years. It spans the longing for a more innocent history in the post-war period, to the erotic tensions of photographers like Helmut Newton in the 1970’s and 80’s, to the technological and social transformations of more recent years.
An exhibition of the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen e.V. / Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations. Presented in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Australien.

Never Again' by Angela Blakely & David Lloyd (QLD)

Never Again - Stories from Survivors of Genocide in Rwanda
Never Again is an issue based exhibition that acknowledges the traditions inherent in photo documentary work while seeking to challenge the viewpoint of the author and the visual language employed. Never Again seeks to allow the viewer to live the experience of another.
Carpe Diem
18 August to 25 September 2010
George Schwarz has exhibited regularly at Stills Gallery since 1992. Carpe Diem (Seize the Day) continues his distinctive style of poetic and surreal images that trigger poignant memories through the association of place, mood, landscape and objects. The images are dreamy, haunting, a little melancholic, and yet they work on the psyche leaving a lasting residue.

At The End of the Earth
18 August to 25 September 2010
At the End of the Earth continues Anne Noble’s fascination with the continent of Antarctica. White Lanterns showed at Stills Gallery in May 2006. This work depicted the surreal way the Antarctic was portrayed in museums and research centres around the world and tapped into our fascination with this vast place. At the End of the Earth takes a similarly oblique approach in its refusal to romanticise the landscape, by focussing on manmade interventions into the pristine terrain. The work comprises three series of images made in the summer of 2008.
Marnti Warajanga. We're Travelling at Museum of Australian Democracy
Fri, 26/02/2010 - Sun, 20/02/2011
Photographer: Tobias Titz
Marnti Warajanga. We're travelling, is a collaboration between Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre, award-winning photographer Tobias Titz and the Museum of Australian Democracy.
In Marnti Warajanga you will meet Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians from the Pilbara regions of northern Western Australia. In their own words, they bear witness to momentous historical movemebts and reflect on their ongoing work for social and political change at a community and national level.
In Tobias Titz unique collaborative portraiture process, each person is photographed with a large format camera unsing Polaroud Type 665 film. He then photographs the same space without the person in it.Following this, the subects write something of their choice into the wet empty negative. The texts relate to questions about major events sixh as the Pilbara Strike of 1946, the 1967 Referendum and the 2008 Apology to the Stolen Generations.
Tobias says that providing a place where often long-buried stories can be told allows us to understand where we come from and how to move forward.

Up The Cross at Museum of Sydney
Sat, 20/02/2010 -Sun, 08/08/2010
Photographer: Rennie Ellis, Wesley Stacey
Rennie Ellis and fellow photographer, Wesley Stacey, spent the summer of 1970-71 in Kings Cross, getting to know the locals and delving behind the scenes. Together they captured the sights, sounds and pulsating rhythms of life on the streets, in the clubs and residences of Sydney's infamous red light district. It was the 'summer of love' and the Cross was as much a magnet for long-haired pilgrims and avant-garde artists as it was for US servicemen on leave from Vietnam. This exhibition of their photos reveals moments of joy and pathos, the surface glitter and what was going on backstage, providing a fascinating portrait of life 'up the Cross' at a unique moment in time.
