Res Artis warmly invites you to the opening event for Martin Smith's 'circle and settle' exhibition at our Project Space in Collingwood (Australia) on Saturday April 30th from 4.30pm.
Exhibition runs until May 22 and is part of the PHOTO 2022 International Festival of Photography.
Exhibition hours: Thursday - Saturday, 12 - 5pm.
Entry is through Gertrude Glasshouse.
Martin Smith’s practice explores how we experience our world, connect to others, and feel through language. This theme stems from the artist’s own difficult experiences with speech and language, having suffered a profound stutter in his youth. This exhibition 'circle and settle' explores the unique way that stuttering effects the construction and application of language. Through the medium of photography, speech and dialogue are represented as physical forces like air, water and earth.
Join us on April 30th when the artist will share a few words about his personal experiences with speech and language — All welcome.
Gertrude Glasshouse will be hosting a panel discussion, prior to Martin's opening, at 3pm, to coincide with their current exhibition 'Being, Human Being: UFO Photography'. We encourage you to attend both events.
This exhibition has been possible thanks to generous support from Res Artis Australian Benefactors Michael Schwarz and David Clouston, PHOTO2022, City of Yarra, Melbourne Gin Company, and the Australian Cultural Fund. Martin is represented by Sophie Gannon Gallery.

Are you an artist who has undertaken a residency program with one of our Members? We would love to see documentation of the work you have made during your residency and to hear about your experiences.
We have begun Artist Profile posts through our Instagram. We recently profiled the work of Marlies Pöschl, who undertook the residency program through our Member Akademie Schloss Solitude and Caroline Mauxion, who undertook residency programs through our Members Est-Nord-Est and Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.
Earlier this year we sent our Members an Artist Promotion Pack and asked them to share it with artists undertaking their program. This free pack has great information on how you can promote your practice. Didn't receive the pack? Email us and we can send you a copy. If you would like to share documentation of your work, write a testimonial about your Res Artis experience or receive information on promoting your practice, please email [email protected]

Earlier this month Res Artis contributed to a public discussion on 'Creative Capital: building a culture of innovation through creative residencies' through the City of Greater Bendigo'sCreative Conversationseries. Res Artis Communication Officer Josephine Mead was joined by Bala Starr, Director Latrobe Arts Institute; Glyn Roberts, Director Castlemaine State Festival, and Miriam La Rosa, independant curator and research. Together they discussed the way residencies can activate creativity in the local community and connect artists with new experiences and resources. They talked of the shifting nature of the residency sector and drew from their own personal experiences. We believe that our sector thrives on conversation and left the discussion feeling inspired to continue to facilitate opportunities for our Members.
Our friends and Nordic representative of Res Artis, Northern AiR from Finland, hosted the TechArt Webinar, 'Hybridize Your Festival & Residence' on April 22. European experts came together to present how the transition to hybrid events has changed the work of festivals, residencies and the cultural field.
Our valued Member Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart will be hosting a digital festival from May 10 - 14 titled '»Fragile Solidarity/Fragile Connections«'. Working with numerous artists and experts from the Digital Solitude community, and collaborating with their local partners in Stuttgart, the festival’s thematic orientation is dedicated to various forms of solidarity, connectivity, cohesion, and togetherness within off and online spaces.
We are constantly finding inspiration from the enthusiasm of Res Artis Members to connect, share, experiment and create with their networks!
