The spotlight of the popular Art After Hours programme falls on

revolutionary and inventive 20th century photographic artist Man Ray

for five Wednesday evenings 25 February - 24 March.

 

Each week at 6.30pm, well-known speakers including photographer Lewis

Morley, Australian Women's Weekly editor Deborah Thomas and architect

Harry Seidler will illuminate elements of the artist's surreal vision

by exploring themes including his muses, modernism, technology and

fashion.

 

At 7.15pm, Robert Herbert's film programme celebrates Man Ray's daring

filmatic style of the period by screening his experimental shorts

alongside diverse classics such as L'Age D'Or (dir. Luis Buņel,

1930),or the Blue Angel (dir. Josef von Sternberg, 1930).

 

While art, talks and films create a great line-up for your Wednesday

evening, don't forget that after hours can simply mean catching-up with

friends for a drink. Try the Gallery's ArtBar, where Djs from FBi

94.5FM will perform live mixes each week from 7pm until 8.30pm.

 

All this and more! For further information on the weekly Wednesday

night line-ups and exhibitions on view, please see below.
