for everyone new to art
The wait is finally over!
Abstract Collective opens today with drinks and sushi from 6pm. We hope to see you then.
As a part of this exhibition, we will be introducing you to the artists and their artwork. Many of the artists in the Abstract Collective are exhibiting additional works online, that are not in the gallery.
Today we introduce you to Joanne Duffy and Lynn Male. To view their artworks online and to see their CVs, please click on the links below.
The Abstract Collective of Western Australian artists converge on one hundredth gallery this Wednesday with a love of colour and the impact of the natural environment. Each of the 15 artists investigate and explore key influences through a diversity of starting points, texture and hue to create a vibrant and stimulating display of contemporary abstract expression.
The painting group, from diverse backgrounds and ages create works that are executed in a variety of techniques as they explore the physical environment and how it impacts on our emotions and perceptions; the internal dialogue portrayed in an array of colour, line and movement.
With more than 40 artworks on display and for sale, Abstract Collective starts on Wednesday 16 November 2011 and runs until Sunday 27 November 2011.
The Grand Opening Night starts at 6.00pm on Wednesday 16 November.

Everyone is welcome!
Front Room | Do we have a Plan B? by Georgia Laughton
In the front room, artist Georgia Laughton tackles the challenging issue of overfishing and the impending death of our oceans. The oceans are the lifeforce that keeps our planet alive – yet it has been predicted that we will have wiped out all the life in the oceans by 2049. Through sometimes graphic and confronting imagery, Gerogia poses the question, Do we have a Plan B for when we fish the last fish?

‘Do we have a Plan B?‘ opens at one hundredth gallery at 11am today and finishes at 5pm on Sunday 6 November.
Middle Room | My Australia by Andrea Drury
In the middle room, Andrea Drury follows up her last photo documentary exhibition ‘Camino Seguro’, with ‘My Australia’. This new exhibition examines stories and images from recent migration and post refugee life in Australia. Despite racism in the form of negative media stereotypes, many recent migrants and refugees are resilient, determined and amazing people finding their place in our culture and adding to our society.

‘My Australia‘ opens at one hundredth gallery at 11am today and finishes at 5pm on Sunday 30 October.
Today, we open ‘Camino Seguro’, a new photograhy exhibition by Andrea Drury.
Camino Seguro was founded in 1999 by Hanley Denning, who, after visiting the Guatemala City dump and seeing the living and working conditions, was moved to start an NGO to help the workers’ children. In the beginning it was only a small church building, where the children were given a snack and space for those in school to work on their homework – a safer alternative to the street.
The project has grown greatly, today it services over five hundred at risk children and teenagers and eighty-two infants. Thanks to the project’s financial support the children are able to attend local schools. All their school supplies, uniforms and fees are paid for. Their families are given food bags, equivalent to the wages they would be making in remedial jobs, to encourage them to keep their children in school. All children are given two meals a day plus free medical treatment for them and their families.
Half the children’s days are spent at school and the other half is spent at Camino Seguro, where they are in classrooms with children in their grade. Each class has a trained, experienced teacher who is able to help them with their homework, which their less educated and often illiterate parents are unable to do.
Thanks to Camino Seguro these children are given the opportunity to move forward to a future free of poverty. Their future would have otherwise held few job opportunities, outside of the dump, selling lollies on buses or in the street, or working in a sweatshop.
The photo project explores the lives of those who pass through Camino Seguro and how the NGO changes their destiny.
Andrea Drury: Artist Statement
I am fascinated by different cultures and societies. I am concerned with social issues affecting our fellow human beings, both here in Australia and in the global community. Both have a large impact on my practice. Through documentary photography I explore the things we all have in common, the things that make us human and the things that make us different as individuals or as a collective culture.
My style has developed over the last few years through my degree at Sydney College of the Arts and honours at RMIT as well as my personal projects undertaken in Guatemala and Australia.
I use photography to draw attention to social issues and make comment on particular situations. I want to show people worlds that would otherwise remain hidden or unnoticed by them, to show the humanity in all of us and to make the viewer think about broader social issues. By working closely with the people in the photographs, I strive to tell the stories as best I can. I try to understand how they see themselves and in turn project this into the images.
‘Camino Seguro’ opens at one hundredth gallery at 11am today and finishes at 5pm on Sunday 23 October.
The grand opening for this exhibition is tomorrow, Thursday 20 October at 6.30pm.
Everyone is welcome!
