Curtain Call - Stills Gallery,
After 16 years Stills Gallery in Paddington (Sydney) is to close its doors. It's a sad day for photography, another nail in the coffin, and perhaps indicative of the maturity of the photography collector market in this country. I have enjoyed many shows at Stills, a marvellous space and one I hope may continue as an art space. Congratulations to the team at Stills for flying the flag for so long.
In the gallery's final exhibition Curtain Call, "we are taking the opportunity to look back over the history of the gallery to present the mother of all salon hangs featuring over 70 artists from over the 26 years of exhibitions. Here is a selection of the works on show.
