print sale!

I don’t usually do this, but I’ve decided to offer the remaining unframed prints from my simulacrum exhibition for sale at the discounted price of ₤90 each + ₤10 p/h; or AU$130 each + AU$15 p/h if you’re in Australia and would prefer to pay direct to my Australian bank account.

I was previously offering these prints at AU$180 each, so that’s a pretty sweet discount!

The prints available are all 60cm x 40cm on 20”x30” paper if portrait or landscape format; or 60cm x 60cm on 30”x30” paper for square format images; excepting overlooked and charlotte sometimes, which are 65cm x 65cm on 30”x30” paper (first two images top left below).

All prints are #1 or #2 of editions of 5 at this size (some images are available at a smaller size in an edition of 10 - contact me directly for size & price info, if interested).

You can view the full images by clicking on the thumbnails below.

Contact me directly at propaganda@bronwenhyde.com if you would like to make a purchase!

If you’d prefer to purchase a print that’s not a self-portrait, or if you are interested in buying a print of any other image of mine not included above, please feel free to contact me directly with information about which print you’d like, and I can see what I can do!

i see a pattern forming

I have been working on a new project with a writer from Brisbane, Simon Groth, that we’re now launching and making public, initially as a blog, but which is ultimately intended for publication as a luscious coffee table book of text and image.

Simon and I met through the ever-lovely Lisa Dempster, former publisher at Vignette Press and current Director of the Emerging Writers’ Festival, amongst numerous other writerly exploits in Melbourne and beyond.

I provided a cover image for Simon’s short story, Coda, the first issue of the first series of Vignette Press’ Mini Shots, way back in 2007. We met, albeit briefly, a few months later at the launch of the series at Federation Square in Melbourne; then not again until I moved to Brisbane. But we continued to harbour an admiration for each others’ work, and he approached me last year, before I left that big brown land, to see if I might be interested in undertaking this project with him.

Suffice to say, I was keen and here we are.

I hope you enjoy our collaborative creativity, and hopefully, organically, over the next while you’ll see the work blossoming, and a pattern forming.

garden of earthly delights

Some of you might have heard I’ve been accepted to do a one month residency at Hospitalfield in Arbroath, Scotland, from mid-April 2011, to continue creating images for my interior / exterior series with a view to exhibiting this work later in the year, and putting together a self-published collection of the finished series.

I also intend to use the opportunity to be inspired by the history of the property, and Hospitalfield’s extensive library and art collection to find a new direction with my work.

And now I need your help!

Please take a look at my project interior / exterior, and if you deem it worthy show your support.

I’m trying to get as much money together as I can for my overseas travels in the new year, and I’m looking for supporters to help me take up this fantastic opportunity in exchange for some excellent rewards.

The goal amount of AU$1,550 will cover the cost of the residency. Should funding exceed my goal, any additional funds raised will go toward my travel expenses to get to Scotland.

A massive thank you to Desmond Wong, Adam Meyer, Adrian Clark, Tracy Wallace, Tom Dullemond and Renae Jones who have already shown their support. You guys rock! xx

nanoka

I came across Katie West in a self-portrait community on livejournal in 2005 then followed her continuing adventures on Flickr; and though I have this Tumblr I don’t use*, I do drop by every so often to see what Katie is up to these days.

So I was a little behind the 8-ball in finding out she and Jack Scoresby had put together a magazine of photographs and writing about their seven days in Japan earlier this year, and about their ongoing friendship. But, of course, when I did find out, I had to get myself a copy.

And then, a week after my copy arrived, I finally had a chance to open Nanoka and read it / pore over the photographs, and do her bidding.

Her wish is my command: When you get it you should tell everyone, and maybe post a picture of you reading it. A picture of you reading it while naked.

*My semi-regularly updated blog can be found here and my photography can be found here.

21

If you’re in Melbourne, you should get along to the launch of Visible Ink’s 21st issue at The Empress on Monday 9 November – from 7pm. Go along and help celebrate, and get in early to grab a copy.

There will be author readings — Alyson Hose, Moreno Giovannoni, Simon McInerney and Lu Sexton — music from Greer Turner (Modular Lounge) and Imogen Halstead (Indigo Hotel) — and gushing editorials.

Unfortunately I’m not in the state, but Allison and her Visible Ink colleagues will make you more than welcome.

If you want to know how to get your clammy hands on a copy in Melbourne, or if you’re not in the state or not in the country but interested in picking up a copy, go here.

In case you’ve not guessed, that’s one of my images on the cover, and I believe I have a couple of other images inside. I’m looking forward to receiving my copy!
