TIM BURDER / Eat me!

Breakfast and Beer

117 Vincent Street

Daylesford

open 8 am – 11 pm Wednesday to Sunday

Free entry

Tim Burder takes an intimate and provocative view of what we eat. In particular, he examines the ingredients involved in the favourite dish of one of Daylesford’s best chefs, Benjamin O’Brien. Tim presents both the beauty of  the basic ingredients as well as questioning whether we really want to know where our food comes from, (no matter how delicious it is).  This exhibition conveys the dedication and passion that a chef brings to a dish and therefore, the artistry behind a simple meal. These images are presented as artworks rather than being of a documentary nature.

Alastair McNaughtons exhibition juxtaposes portraits of the Rabari tribal group from Gujarat in NW India & the Roma gypsies of Romania, Eastern Europe. Linguistic & genetic evidence indicates the Romanian gypsies originated from the Indian subcontinent .This is backed up by the similarity in their features & certain Hindi & Roma words. Between about 800-1000 AD, groups from NW India began to migrate West into Persia & onwards to Armenia. By 1300 AD the diaspora had settled in Serbia & soon after were recorded in Romania, Spain, France & Germany

First Light - the best time to capture the magic of the landscape.

Rob Morgan is based in Surrey Hills, Melbourne.  First Light is his first solo photographic exhibition.  His images are about beauty in the natural and manmade landscape.  Always striving to capture images in interesting light, Rob takes us to places far away or close to home and lets us feel we are there, whether it’s the top of Mt Kilimanjaro, the depths of Antarctica or a familiar street in Melbourne.  The exhibition includes a few of Rob’s more experimental images.

Photography makes all the world a stage - a social landscape as a theatre of incidents. Beyond this are the interpretations of these images – the tangible and the evocative intangible.  Objects studiously represented in a tangible, yet vanished atmosphere.  An archaic place assembled by hand. 

This exhibition has been created in the shadow of more self-aware artists, to look beyond mere appearances and belief that the greatest reality lies in the imagination.  Offering new insights and possibilities, inspiration and creativity.  Look again – a row of fence posts and rails or wire seen in the mist develop a suggestive rhythm and might look like music inscribed, whereas in daylight, may entail nothing more than boundaries and farming.
