Impressed by the card’s evocative nostalgia and intimacy\, they were\, according to Luccio\, “beautiful artefacts\, remnants of the past preserved in small and fragile time capsules”. That sentiment was reflected in Luccio’s wonderful collection of small-scale works\, New York Postcards (2019). In Cuorosensa we see an evolution into something much larger in scale\, both in size and substance. \nIn Cuorosensa\, the artist’s bold\, energetic and confident mark-making coheres into recognisable Luccio-esque themes — we see his Eiffel Tower\, his Trojan Horse\, his meditations on the myths and figures of classical antiquity — but closer inspection reveals a canvas of interlocking postcards with tantalising glimpses of the messages they once conveyed. When their contents are obscured completely by Luccio’s paint and ink\, the postcards form something of an edifice\, brick-like in their arrangement\, transformed from something fragile to bedrock. \nArchaeologists are known for digging down to gain insight into the daily lives of individuals who once constituted whole civilisations; in Cuorosensa this is reversed. Here the presumptive ephemera of material culture becomes the base upon which layers of bigger and vaster gestures are built. We see the expansive concept of civilisation layered over the intimate concept of community\, and it is unexpectedly coherent. Perhaps these small acts of practical sentimentality are what is really hidden in the Trojan Horse. What really propels the march of history\, of destruction and creation? Perhaps the idea of a blank canvas is its own myth\, an attempt to obliterate the foundation of community in favour of the fiction of self-contained individuality. \nCuorosensa: A Reverse Archaeology delivers a cracking blow to concepts we like to contain within neat boundaries. Even the exhibition’s title plays with these themes: cuorosensa— a fanciful word fashioned to slide off the tongue and evoke its Latin roots of heart and feeling—combined with the conjuring up of a discipline; a regime of serious study\, fired by applied curiosity. \nAs we move through a period of global upheaval\, there has never been a better time to explore the themes presented in Luccio’s Cuorosensa: A Reverse Archaeology. These works leave us contemplating what will become of our own heartfelt acts\, if only we take the time and energy to produce them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1676079125859-f3fccc2a-ed2a”][vc_column_text]CUOROSENSA\nA Reverse Archaeology \nOpening Event\nTo be opened by David Hunt\nTuesday 4 April from 5pm – 7pm\nFREE EVENT: RSVP essential to gallery@fortyfivedownstairs.com \nArtist Talk: The Making of Cuorosensa\nSaturday 15 of April from 2pm – 3pm\nFREE EVENT: RSVP essential to gallery@fortyfivedownstairs.com \nArt\, Health and Happiness\nA panel discussion hosted by David Hunt\nSaturday 22nd of April from 2 – 3pm\nFREE EVENT: RSVP essential to gallery@fortyfivedownstairs.com \nDrawing Sessions with the Artist\nFor the Love of Laneways: sketching in and around the laneways of Melbourne\nThursday 20 April from 11am – 1pm followed by a tour of the exhibition\n$100 per person\, email gallery@fortyfivedownstairs.com or call 03 9662 9966 to book \nSoaring Cityscapes: sketching the built environment\nThursday 27 April from 11am – 1pm followed by a tour of the exhibition\n$100 per person\, email gallery@fortyfivedownstairs.com or call 03 9662 9966 to book \nSketching for Sanity: How Drawing Can Improve Your Life\nSaturday 29 April from 10:30am – 12pm\n1.5 hour blitz with Marco Luccio on how to draw for pleasure for non-drawers\nFREE: RSVPs essential to gallery@fortyfivedownstairs.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist Bio” tab_id=”1676522419739-aba1c5c5-27b2″][vc_column_text]Marco Luccio Bio \nAward winning artist Marco Luccio has held upward of 50 solo exhibitions nationwide and internationally. \nLuccio’s work is represented in 42 public and corporate collections\, including the New York Public Library\, the Museum of the City of New York\, The New York Historical Society\, The National Gallery of Australia\, The National Gallery of Victoria\, The State Library of Victoria and The City of Melbourne. \nHis work has been shortlisted for many major awards including the Dobell Drawing Prize and the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing and he has undertaken artist residencies in New York\, Paris\, Italy and Australia. \nIn 2021 Luccio launched his book and exhibition\, Tales from The Greek\, which featured work inspired by the writing of award-winning author John Hughes.

As a young girl growing up in Zimbabwe\, Phiri was encouraged to learn a variety of creative skills including\, crafting\, sewing\, and clay work. Phiri learned to sculpt and mix different coloured clays by decorating the wall plastering of the huts where she lived and grew up. Phiri channels and repurposes these skills in her artwork today\, choosing to work instead on canvas and with acrylic mediums. Her artwork focuses on life through positivity. Through her work she seeks to engage the viewer with stimulating colours and a whimsical joy that draws from the beauty of everyday life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

We are the unwelcome. We should take our misfortune elsewhere. \n– Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini \nThey desperately fled the danger and horror of their homes\, now deserted. They left with longing and loss for those who had to stay behind\, for the promised land\, not their own\, far away and unwelcoming. The journey dangerous and frightening\, in the rubber boats into which they were crammed\, men\, women and their children\, whilst the waves mounted and their flimsy transport to freedom and safety\, disintegrated beneath them. One can die in many ways. They are asylum seekers. \nIn my work I have tried to represent the danger\, despair and lingering hope in the faces\, caricatures of humanity. \nI have chosen a combination of yacht sails with the rubber dinghies. At once symbols of lingering hope and creeping fear and despair. The hope remains in the sails as a propulsive force that with the wind\, which exits\, but cannot be seen. \nThey risk everything for a chance of freedom.  How many boats are never seen.  How many people are never fished from the sea. \nIn contrast to the imagery of asylum seekers we see in journalistic imagery presented through newspapers\, journals and the news\, this body of work presents my personal\, emotional expression. \nMargaret Gold \nSupport can be sort through:\nAsylum Seeker Resource Centre\nAustralian Red Cross\nFoundation House and the Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project \n*The artist has pledged a percentage of sales from this exhibition to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre \n\nFounded in 2001\, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia’s largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum.\nThe ASRC is an independent not-for-profit organisation whose programs support and empower people seeking asylum to maximise their own physical\, mental and social wellbeing.\nThey champion the rights of people seeking asylum and mobilise a community of compassion to create lasting social and policy change.\nThe ASRC movement is proudly supported by a community of committed volunteers and supporters and assists around 7\,000 people seeking asylum each year.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef”][vc_column_text]\nMARGARET GOLD C.V.\nBorn in Melbourne\, Australia\n1979 – 81 Studied at Richmond College in London\n1982 – 84 Fine Arts degree at the Victorian College of the Arts\, majoring in Sculpture and Painting \nSelected Solo Exhibitions\n2022 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\n2018 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\n2013 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\n2010 fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne\nSPAN Galleries\, Melbourne\nSPAN Galleries\, Melbourne\nAustralian Galleries\, Collingwood\nJudith Pugh Gallery\, Fitzroy\n1990 Arden Street Gallery\, North Melbourne \nSelected Group Exhibitions\n2019     Group Show – 45 Downstairs\, Melbourne 20 x 20 cm\n2018     Group Show – 45 Downstairs\, Melbourne 20 x 20 cm\n2017     45 at 45 – Exhibition 45 Downstairs Gallery\, Melbourne\n2014     WHO’s LOOKING AT YOU – Portrait Prize\, Cambridge Studio Gallery\n2011     Postcard Show – Linden Galleries\, St. Kilda\n2010     Exhibition – Chapman and Bailey Gallery – Belle Arti Prize\n2007     Group Show\, SPAN Galleries\nMelbourne Art Fair – Exhibition Building\n1998     Group Show – 45 Downstairs (anti-Grand Prix)\nFitzroy Gallery\, Fitzroy\nDrawing Exhibition – Raw Studios\n1988     Tenth Mildura Sculpture Triennial\n‘Sculpture ‘85’\, World Trade Centre\, Melbourne\n‘Graven Images’\, Art Gallery of Western Australia in association with Perth International Festival of the Arts\, Perth W.A.\nGroup Show\, Victorian College of the Arts\n1981     Orleans House\, London U.K. \nCollected in London\, Germany\, U.S.A.  and Australia \nPublications:  Tenth Mildura Sculpture Triennial ‘Graven Images’ Perth International Festival of Arts\, W.A.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

For example\, in the discolourations of a burnt slice of toast\, one might see the face of the Messiah. Or perhaps the image of Vladimir Putin in the soapy scum of a shower curtain. After finding some obscure images of an elephant and alien figure\, the artist gave up staring at the road… it was quite dangerous too and so he turned to a more fleet-footed graphical approach. \nThese graphics from the tarmac have been enhanced and the colours have been accentuated to a strident surrealism. Hong Kong\, Paris\, Tokyo\, London\, Rome\, New York\, Melbourne and Sydney and one photograph from Cairns Airport! \nMike Reed presents to you\, not so much “forty miles of bad road” but graphical and colourful sections of road on the gallery wall and much more in an exclusive innovative book\, certainly a desirable collectors edition. \nThe artist will also display in the smaller gallery a collection of his street photography in a salon style showing Recently Mike’s work was selected by the Editor of Life Framers in their ‘Street Life’ theme\, commenting on the “humourous visual narrative that Mike conjures through sharp timing and a clean composition”. \nTo view the complete catalogue\, please click here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-09339c42-5cd9″][vc_column_text]\nIt is hard for friends and colleges to understand Mike Reed in any way other than what he did day in day out … and nights too. \nHe has been film editing for 42 years\, yet photography has always afforded him his only private creative outlet for all those years. \nPhotography was portable\, instantaneous and satisfying in his short breaks from the screaming schedules (editing and running the business was soaking up his concentration 60-100 hours a week). \nHis camera was always there as he roamed his backyard and afar\, eyes alert for something that would catch his attention. \nHe’s always been a hoarder\, all things rusty\, crusty and novel. Photography is a further collection of moments. Quirky and delicious. \nEditing trained his eye to detail\, decision and dialogue. Culture\, creativity and cooking are also amongst his other pursuits. \nSo now retired from the maddening advertising affray\, he is armed with his cameras and visual diary passionately pursuing his love of the world around him. \nmikereedphotography.com\n@mikereedphoto[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Programming” tab_id=”1651128036895-b6d7a1ed-4755″][vc_column_text]Artist Floor Talk: Saturday 7th May 12pm – 1pm \nPlease join Mike Reed as he shares stories about his artistic journey and how and why he made the photographic series Road Works. \nFind out more about this graphic work from the tarmac that has been enhanced\, with colours that have been accentuated to a strident surrealism.

These children and their families are usually thought of as poor\, uneducated\, and non-literate. This exhibition challenges viewers to think differently about what literacy means\, how it is used\, and what we know about it. \nIt presents a small selection of over 4\,000 photographs taken by 10 out of school children from two rural communities in northern Ghana. The children are between the ages of 8-12 years\, with five girls and five boys participating. At the time\, they were also attending a semi-formal literacy and numeracy program that aimed to transition into the formal school system after nine months. Despite this enrolment\, they were still considered “out of school”. \nThese children participated in doctoral research undertaken by Brendan Rigby\, at the University of Melbourne’s Graduate School of Education. This exhibition is part of his research dissemination efforts\, using the photographs as a way to not only communicate the data\, but to involve a broader audience in its analysis\, interpretation\, and viewing. \nPhotography and photographs can go beyond contexts\, rematerialising digitally and physically around the world. However\, in academic research\, photographs rarely find their way beyond research articles and books. By recontextualising a sample of the children’s photographs\, this exhibition invites the viewer to think differently about what it means to be out of school\, and the extraordinary capabilities and literacies of young children around the world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de15320-4ad7″][vc_column_text]Brendan Rigby is an international education specialist and researcher\, currently completing his PhD at the University of Melbourne’s Graduate School of Education. He co-founded WhyDev\, an Australian non-profit dedicated to getting international development right. Brendan’s research focuses on the use of participatory visual methods\, namely photography\, to document and explore out of school children’s literacy practices. \nHe has worked for UNICEF Ghana\, StartSomeGood\, and Macquarie University and has also been an education consultant for Plan International\, Engineers Without Borders Australia\, and UNICEF.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

From these myriad marks renderings of natural phenomena (rain\, waves\, forests) emerge with rhythmic peacefulness. \nDespa Hondros mirrors the building blocks of natural phenomena (droplets\, cells\, atoms) using a minimal set of elemental forms. Her drawings invite the viewer to reflect on the boundless variation that exists in seemingly identical natural structures at a micro and macro level. The artist’s obsessive desire to represent this subtle variation produces works which entice the viewer to closer examine the drawing and be rewarded with the complexity and intense detail of the image. \ndespahondros.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de17d01-0853″][vc_column_text]Despa Hondros lives and works in Melbourne\, Australia. \nHer intricate drawings have been shortlisted in a number of prizes since 2010 including the Hutchins Art Prize for Works on Paper\, Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing\, National Works on Paper Mornington\, and twice in the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize. \ndespahondros.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
