Ingeborg Tyssen: Photographs and Time Machine: Sue Ford
11 May – 24 June 2012
Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre is proud to present exhibitions by two of Australia's most important photographers. From May 11- June 24 Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre will show Ingeborg Tyssen: Photographs and Time Machine: Sue Ford as part of its outstanding program of photography exhibitions and events for this year's Head On Photo Festival.
Ingeborg Tyssen (1945-2002) was one of Australia’s leading photographers of the postwar generation. She exhibited widely overseas and in Australia, and this is the first museum retrospective of her work since her memorial show was held at the Art Gallery of NSW in 2002.
Before her death, Sue Ford (1943–2010) was working with Monash Gallery of Art on an exhibition of her work which would feature her final major project Self-portrait with camera (1960–2006). This travelling exhibition is the first opportunity for audiences to see the series of 47 photographs and presents a compelling self-portrait of an artist. It underscores the central role the camera played in Ford’s life. Self-portrait with camera will be shown alongside a survey of Ford’s black-and-white photographs from the 1960s and 70s and examples of her most iconic work, Time series (1960s–1970s).
