SUMMARY:The Mack Jost Gift
DESCRIPTION:Horsham Regional Art Gallery is pleased to exhibit the Mack Jost Gift\, a selection of works drawn from over 250 works donated to the Horsham Regional Art Gallery collection by Australian concert pianist Mack Jost (pronounced ‘yost’) AM (1918-2000). Jost’s legacy tells a nationally significant story of private benefaction supporting regional Australia and is an important element in the story of art and culture in the Wimmera. His generosity served our region and propelled forward the development of the art gallery.  \nThe Horsham Regional Art Gallery collection was then established in 1972. Eight years later\, Horsham-born Mack Jost approached Council and Gallery staff with the proposal of a significant series of gifts to the collection; he offered to gift his private collection of Australian paintings and works on paper to the Horsham collection\, as a series of donations during his lifetime and culminating in a significant bequest. Jost selected Horsham to commemorate his family’s long association with the Wimmera\, having been born in Horsham in 1918\, and his father Conrad Henry Jost was a farmer on land outside of Horsham for several decades. From then\, Jost progressively donated his personal art collection of over 250 works by significant Australian artists from the colonial and modern eras\, culminating in the final bequest after his death in 2000. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council

SUMMARY:Summer Exhibitions Opening Event at Horsham Regional Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join in for the opening of two new exhibitions at Horsham Regional Art Gallery. \nCurated by Belinda Eckermann\, Material Origins brings together artists whose practices are shaped by the materials of the Wimmera. Using locally sourced\, reclaimed and everyday materials\, the exhibition explores connections between landscape\, labour\, history and creative making\, revealing how the region’s material culture continues to inform contemporary art. \nThe difference between here and there presents new work by local artist\, Paul Blackman. Inspired by the forms of rural industry across the Wimmera and Mallee\, Blackman uses virtual reality to construct expansive digital environments that are later transformed into photographic works. The exhibition invites audiences to consider the relationship between virtual and physical space\, and how perception\, memory and imagination shape your experience of the world. \nJoin in for light refreshments as you celebrate the opening of these two compelling exhibitions. Entry is free. Bookings are essential. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council

SUMMARY:Material Origins: When place becomes practice
DESCRIPTION:In the Wimmera\, materials are more than resources — they are part of the landscape\, the history\, and the everyday experiences that shape creative practice. From earth\, grain\, and timber to found objects and industrial remnants\, the region offers a vast source of materiality that artists continually respond to and reinterpret. Through texture\, form\, and process\, these materials become embedded within each work\, carrying traces of place\, labour\, and environment. \nThis exhibition explores how artists engage with the materials that surround them\, transforming the familiar into works that reflect both personal and regional narratives. By utilising locally sourced\, reclaimed\, and everyday materials\, the artists reveal the enduring relationship between maker\, material\, and the Wimmera landscape itself. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council

SUMMARY:Paul Blackman: The difference between here and there
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the shapes and forms found in the rural industries of the Wimmera and Mallee\, The difference between here and there explores the possibilities that exist between virtual realities and the physical world. \nUsing virtual reality as a studio space\, Paul Blackman constructs vast architectural worlds that range from the industrial to the theatrical. Working within these limitless digital landscapes\, he creates sculptures and structures that exist only in virtual reality before documenting them through photography. \nPresented as arrangements of photographic images and text\, the resulting works trace a journey from the virtual to the physical. What began as an immersive digital experience is now transformed within the gallery setting into a series of patterns and correlations\, inviting the viewer to consider both the images themselves and the spaces that separate and connect them. \nAt once expansive and intimate\, Blackman’s work reflects on perception\, memory and imagination\, suggesting that multiple realities can coexist within the same space and time. From immense virtual environments to the smallest intervals between images\, the exhibition reveals a world shaped by relationships\, detail and continual transformation\, where the difference between here and there becomes increasingly difficult to define. \n  \n\nOrganised by Horsham Rural City Council

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Paul Blackman
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Paul Blackman in conversation with curator\, Astrid Barry\, as they explore the difference between here and there\, an exhibition that moves between virtual and physical worlds. \nUsing virtual reality at his studio in Beulah\, Blackman creates vast sculptural environments within limitless digital space.
