The Art Museum is now hosting Penumbral Tales until 20 September 2015 at the Flinders University City Gallery, located in the State Library of South Australia.

Penumbral Tales combines the work of contemporary South Australian photographers with archival imagery to explore the idea of the ‘periphery’ – the realm of the outsider, fringe dweller and the marginalised. Including portraiture, landscape and still-life photography, artists push the documentary and expressive powers of their medium in analogue and digital formats to construct powerful vignettes of everyday life beyond the so-called mainstream of modern times.

Featured artists include Alice Blanch, Odette England, Gee Greenslade, Mark Kimber, Sue Kneebone, Hailey Lane, Deborah Paauwe, CJ Taylor and James Tylor.

Penumbral Tales is a Flinders University Art Museum exhibition curated by Mark Kimber, presented for the 2015 South Australian Living Artist’s Festival and assisted by the Government of South Australia through Arts SA.

 

The City Gallery shop (co-located with the Gallery), offers original art and craft, giftware and books sourced from Aboriginal communities and ethical, collaborative enterprises. This includes paintings, prints, sculpture, jewellery and basketry by emerging and established artists and unique, high-quality giftware. Fine art cards can also be found, along with a wide selection of children’s books, as well as FUAM exhibition catalogues. All staff members are entitled to a 10% discount on purchase on presentation of their staff card.
