SUMMARY:Julie Millowick: Surrounding
DESCRIPTION:Julie Millowick is a localist\, an artist who is deeply embedded in the place where she lives. Over many years\, Millowick has documented the environmentallegacy of goldmining around her home near Fryerstown in Central Victoria. This strangely poignant landscape has been turned upside down through violent extraction – but it remains resilient and in the process of recovery. \nThis premiere exhibition\, presented at CAM from February 2024\, exhibits a curated selection of the artist’s significant body of work including a new series seen for the first time.

SUMMARY:Terrace Projection: Michael Wolfe 20/70
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s they were in their 20s and now in the 2020s they’re in their 70s and beyond.\nUnlike some traditional professions where a defined age often marks the end of a career\, artists tend to continue creating as long as they’re able. \nIn photographic portraits by Castlemaine artist Michael Wolfe of 21 visual artists over age 70 from Mount Alexander Shire (and a little beyond)\, this exhibition projection explores how an artist’s practice is both dynamic and in constant evolution. Just what does creativity\, character and commitment count for across a lifetime as an artist?
