“Bringing together over 90 works, the artists in this exhibition explore concepts of place and the role of the photographer as storyteller. The evolution of ‘landscape’ photography is demonstrated, from location specific works in the 1970s, to recent works that draw on the frictions between nature, culture and history. The exhibition also traces innovative developments in photographic techniques, including montage, Instamatic and Polaroid works of the 1970s, series from the 1980s and contemporary work focusing on the detail and the intimacies of the local.”

It’s that time of year! The time for summer, parties and end-of-year mayhem.

“Edition”, the inaugural end-of-year exhibition of student work from the Bachelor of Photography and Situated Media will take place on Wednesday, December 8th from 8-10pm. This is the same night as the massive School of Design Graduate Show which starts at 5:30 in the UTS Tower. Think of our show as the “after party”.

“Edition” will take place at 50 Kensington Street, just down the road from the infamous Clare Hotel. The School of Architecture at UTS has been kind enough to let us commandeer a portion of their beautiful warehouse for our show. The architects will have their own monstrous end-of-year on December 3rd. More details here for the architecture show: http://www.utsarchitecture.net/index.php/index-2010/

See you on December 8th!

I’d like to congratulate the winners and finalists in this year’s UTS PSM High School Competition. Each year we host a competition looking for the best photographers and situated media students in Australia. This year we attracted almost 100 entries from across the country.

The winners and eight finalists were exhibited at UTS in the 6th floor gallery of the DAB Building. Dean Desley Luscombe presented the cash awards and certificates to the winners.

This year’s winner is Husniye Yilmazlar from Sule College:

Honourable Mention 1: Vinh Pham from Patrician Brothers College

Honourable Mention 2: Adam Humphrey from Knox Grammar School

Stay tuned for next year’s competition!

UTS is on the search for the next generation of photographers and situated media designers.

Three prizes (totalling $2000) will be awarded to the best photographers and situated media designers currently studying Year 11 or 12. Submit your entries by 5pm, Friday 23 July 2010.

Finalists will have their work exhibited at UTS and the winners will be announced in mid-August.
