A new exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery tells the story of Christian Waller, celebrated Australian printmaker of the Art Deco era, and her niece, the pioneering ceramic artist, Klytie Pate.
With the festive season approaching it’s a good time to focus on some historic Victorian ‘cautionary tales’ – it was Queen Victoria who was largely credited with introducing the concept of the Christmas tree to western society. A belief in the occult pervaded the Victorian era, in parallel with Christianity. Rites and superstitions were used as a way of dealing with grief, at the same time instilling moral values. This field of so-called ‘female mythology’ likely stemmed from post-natal trauma and experiences of fear and guilt.
This program in early Term 1 gives students insight to four Bendigo Art Gallery exhibitions, providing ideal stimuli for folio themes, artist study and exhibitions. Resources will be provided giving insight into curatorial considerations related to the display of specific artworks in exhibitions and exhibition viewing. Teachers can value add to their day by planning to visit exhibitions at other art spaces in Bendigo such as Pennyweight Walk with its new display of commissioned public artworks.

Bendigo Art Gallery will soon commence the installation of a new international exhibition, Frida Kahlo, her photos, featuring 241 photographs from the extensive archive of the Casa Azul (Blue House) in Mexico. Frida Kahlo is considered one of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century. An avid proponent of traditional Mexican culture, Frida’s paintings have come to represent the strength of Mexican Modernism of the 1930s and 1940s, a style which still remains popular today.
Next year the Bendigo Art Gallery guides will celebrate 30 years of continuous service to the gallery and community.
My work with the guide’s has been a source of joy. It has taught me many things; mainly that working for the community brings out the best in people and results in a wonderful team spirit. There is much goodwill in the Bendigo Art Gallery Voluntary Guides towards the gallery and towards each other.
