SUMMARY:Permanent Exhibition: Julia Margaret Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Julia Margaret Cameron (1815 – 1879) was one of the most important early photographers and is now recognised the world over as a pioneer of photography as art. \nA woman ahead of her time\, she was ambitious and freethinking when most Victorian women were passive and demure. She took on the challenges of handling large cameras and dangerous chemicals at a time when photography was known as ‘The Black Art’. \nIgnoring conventions\, she experimented with composition and focus. Today she is credited with creating the first photographic close-up portraits and influencing the subsequent Pictorialism movement with her use of diffused focus. \nHer portraits of ‘famous men and fair women’\, reflect her time within the Freshwater Circle\, the birth of celebrity and her ambitions to be recognised as significant artist of her time. \nThe majority of her photographic work was created here at Dimbola. Her work is found in major archives the world over including our own growing Permanent Collection.

SUMMARY:Mini Iconic Bowie – Terry O’Neill
DESCRIPTION:Dimbola Museum & Galleries are honoured that Iconic Images have kindly agreed to loan us photographs of David Bowie taken by the late Terry O’Neil left over from our Iconic Bowie exhibition is 2019. \nOver a 20-year period\, O’Neill captured Bowie’s shapeshifting artistry better than just about anybody else. \nO’Neill’s photographs have left such a lasting impression because he was able to demystify some of the 20th century’s biggest icons. \nBy the time O’Neill started shooting Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust tour in 1973\, he was much a respected name in photography. \nCurrently exclusive to Dimbola in the UK\, the limited editions images are available to purchase. For more information please email admin@dimbola.co.uk

SUMMARY:Mela Hilleard: At the Dining Room with Julia Margaret Cameron; Frames of time
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning film director Mela Hilleard showcases her photographic work in the gift shop at Dimbola Museum & Galleries\, home of the great Victorian photographer\, Julia Margaret Cameron\, who will be the inspiration for Mela’s next film. The exhibition is located in our gift shop and is free to view. \nAbout the Artist: \nMela was born in Poland and her family was forcibly moved from Lviv\, after WW2. She says\, “I was raised on longing\, for the lost paradise\, for the time which does not exist seeking refuge in the world of art\, at first theatre and later in photography and filmmaking. \nI became interested in breaking conventions\, thinking more in terms of poetry\, always following my feelings and intuition. I like when things have their own unspoken history\, imperfections\, reflections\, the crumbles of memories and dreams. Being like a collector of eternal appearance; light is beginning and end of everything to me – the inner light of every person\, light in the room\, light of the past moment\, waiting for the light… \nI am working now on developing a new project: ‘From life. Following in the footsteps of Julia Margaret Cameron’. Her life becomes a parallel story told through filmmaking and photographic eyes of mine inspired by her\, in the 21st century\, woven like separate strands of hair into one plait.” \nmelahilleard.com Contact: melahilleard@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Dave Shrimpton: Searching for Alice
DESCRIPTION:Dave Shrimpton is a wet plate collodion photographer who uses vintage cameras to produce his art. He cites the work of Julia Margaret Cameron as his inspiration and says that upon viewing his first Cameron exhibition his “world changed for ever”.\nThis exhibition is entitled “Searching for Alice” and uses the image of Alice Liddell\, photographed by and friend of Julia Margaret Cameron\, as its point of departure. Being drawn into the world of Mrs Cameron through his own Muse\, Catarina Correia\, Dave’s work seeks to explore the results of the often unpredictable and unique wet collodion process. \nHe is thrilled to be displaying such a large body of his work in one place with many images not previously seen by a public audience. Dave will further follow in the creative footsteps of Mrs Cameron by photographing the current museum staff. The sitters for many of her iconic photographs were actually servants within the household staff at Dimbola. These priceless wet plates taken by Dave will form a further element to this already exciting and dynamic exhibition.
