Jeff MOORFOOT'S EXHIBITION SCAN (on at The Maud Street Photo Gallery,
March 26 - April1), is a collection of images made over the past
decade. The unifying factor is that all of the exhibiting works are
made not with a camera, but instead via a flatbed scanner. The process
somewhat contemporises and pays respect to one of the earliest
photographic processes, the photogram.To enhance your experience and
enrich your understanding of how the art happens, we invite you to
participate in the events surrounding the exhibition.
Event 1 - SCAN, a two-hour illustrated lecture where Jeff Moorfoot
discusses the making of his photographic art with the aid of a flatbed
scanner for more than a decade. He has compiled a yet to be published
book featuring some of these works, a selection of which are part of
his exhibition ‘SCAN’ at The Maud Street Photo Gallery in
Newstead, Brisbane. In this illustrated lecture he expands on the
detail of how these works evolved and will give a practical
demonstration of the process from concept to output.
Event 2 - BLUFF AND ILLUSION - A LIFETIME JOURNEY. Join Jeff in this 2
hr illustrated lecture and hear some of the philosophy, bad jokes and
inspiration that have accompanied him on his journey. Jeff Moorfoot
has come a long way since being a high school dropout. Without an
overabundance of intelligence, talent or skill, he has walked a long
and varied photographic path to University lecturer, Master
Photographer, Festival Director, Editor and Publisher, Independent
Curator, Order of Australia Medalist, and amongst other things he
survived a bushfire, built his own house and achieved Rock Star status
in China.
Event 3 - SCAN MASTERCLASS - This 6 hr Masterclass will offer hands on
experience to participants using a flatbed scanner to produce their
own artworks. The workshop will give insights into process,
philosophy, technique and aesthetics of scanner art as well as
feedback on works produced. Jeff Moorfoot has been making his
photographic art with the aid of a flatbed scanner for more than a
decade. He has compiled a yet to be published book featuring some of
these works. His scan image series have been exhibited widely in
Australia and also internationally. His series ‘Twenty Carat Love’
was awarded best international exhibition at the Pingyao International
Photo Festival in China in 2014.
This Masterclass is best suited to individuals who possess at least an
intermediate skill level with some degree of digital post production
knowledge. Bring your own laptop and flatbed scanner if you have one
and props to make an artwork with. Art paper and printing of your
image is included in the price.
