"Both Plumley and Stuart currently study at the Victorian College of the Arts, this will be their first show at a Melbourne gallery. Plumley’s work explores the possibilities of microbiological environments and organisms, and the questionable, abstract representations that science constructs to illustrate these micro and nano topographies. Plumley explains that the forms he uses (looking like oddly coloured sausages strung together by a sausage machine gone wrong, or the balloon creations of a blind clown) are representative of the interactions between cells or the molecular building blocks of proteins. And that the traditional balloon animals he hides in his forms allude to a sentimental, human side of science that is disguised amidst the rationality of today’s scientific method. Rather than being ‘science bashing’ Plumley’s work pokes humorously at the fact that behind every scientific discovery and finding are people such as sponsors and researchers who interpret results according to their own political, ethical, economic and religious agendas. Through crisp line drawing, Stuart investigates the explosion of inexpensive cameras, the likes of which have become mandatory accessories incorporated into mobile phones. The kind of images these cheap cameras capture, the likes of which litter Facebook and MySpace profiles come together in Stuarts work as interfolded super-flat renditions akin to architectural blueprints or circuit boards. Figures, household objects, various interiors/exteriors and technological icons are paired with biological systems hinting at the almost organic way that we interact with and adopt technologies".

Melbourne Leader

Melbourne Leader August 2010

Last week the local rag ran a feature on Kingsway. If you're in the Port Phillip, CBD or Glen Eira area you might still be able to grab a copy, blocks of flats with built up excess junk mail are a good place to start looking!

Book By Its Cover

Kingsway recently featured on one of our favs Book By Its Cover. Softcover edition now available.

THESE ARE THE DAYS

If you're Melbourne bound this week don your beanies and woolly gloves and drop into Gorker Gallery to view new work by clever Melbourne lass Leah Bartholomew. Lantern Printing proudly assisted in the printing of Leah's gorgeous new body of  work. Leah's use of warm glowing colour and dreamy themes are sure to brighten anyone's day in the midst of this frosty Melbourne climate.
