Vickers Vimy G-EAOU is now located in a new space at Adelaide Airport.
It came five months after work began to dismantle the 100-year-old biplane that carried the first all-Australian air crew, including South Australian brothers Sir Keith and Sir Ross Smith along with mechanics Jim Bennett and Wally Shiers from Hounslow Heath Aerodrome to Darwin – via Singapore at Batavia – in December 1919.
It took the team aboard the Vickers Vimy, largely made of wood lined with fabric, a total of 28 days to complete their journey, with over 18,000 kilometres travelled.
Previously the original Vickers Vimy aircraft – registration G-EAOU – had been preserved in a purpose-built climate-controlled museum at Adelaide Airport. It is now within a section of the Adelaide Airport terminal $200 million expansion.
The aircraft was separated carefully into three main pieces in preparation of the relocation – the two outer wings, and the fuselage and engines with the stub wings.
According to Adelaide Airport, each segment of the plane was wrapped, and scaffolding was built in order to carry the weight and protect the structure during the move.

"I don't know where this fear comes from,
How I became so afraid of losing everyone,
Never been afraid of being lonely,
Now I'm becoming the one I'm most scared of being."

Exhibition dates: November 23 - December 3, 2020
Installation art is an artistic genre that challenges the boundaries of traditional art. The history of installation art dates back to the 1960’s to early 1970’s, in which it provoked a reversal to the modernist sculpture’s relationship with the pedestal. The pedestal disconnected the sculpture from the space or stated its indifference to it, allowing the work to possess independence from its environment. On the contrary, installation art is directed by the space in which it is constructed. Although installation may involve elements of architecture, sculpture, painting, video, photography and performance, it aspired to challenge the limitations of these art forms as well as their institutional settings. Moreover, installation art was an attempt to resist the trend of circulating art as a commodity, something that is transportable and exchangeable.
In this project, students from SA 2643: Introduction to Sculpture and Installation explore ideas of "where are you coming from?" with a focus on "your culture." Here, "culture" is interpreted both as culture in everyday life, as well as more specific historical and ethnic cultural backgrounds. Students explore cultural connections, exchanges, and crossings by using readymades and found objects to create collaborative installations. They are directed to incorporate ornaments, as ornate artefacts have circulated amongst various cultures and have been adapted/hybridized within new cultural contexts throughout history.

It seemed rude not to attempt a Bench shot :p This is just around the corner from Derek's Artlab studio in the Eau Gallie area of town- aka the art district.
On the first Friday of the month, the area hosts a First Friday Artwalk, where the galleries and shops and stalls open and people can meander down and buy local art.
Because we were in the gallery for the night meeting and talking with people walking in to see the Collage Europe show, we didn't see much of the rest of the walk, but it looked buzzing!

Every few years, the Artlab Gallery at Western University hosts a Faculty and Staff exhibition. These exhibitions are important opportunities for fostering a sense of community in the Visual Arts Department: students are able to see their instructors and mentors at work, and colleagues have a chance to share in each other's research. 2020 was a year like no other, and so the Artlab is leaning into the present with a collective address to this moment of separate togetherness. "Distance makes the heart grow weak" invites faculty, staff and graduate students to speak to how they've been experiencing the last year. It prompts participants to explore and express how isolation has shifted our focus, our research and art practices, as well as our forms of connecting with one another. The exhibition is also an opportunity for participating artists and researchers to show flexibility (and inherently, optimism) despite the high strangeness we’re all currently experiencing. In this time of shared solitude—unable to walk down halls, knock on studio or office doors, and enjoy quick hellos and impromptu conversations—we'll quote Chris Kraus (quoting Søren Kierkegaard): "art involves reaching through some distance."
Organized by Dickson Bou and Ruth Skinner.
Participants: Cody Barteet; Sarah Bassnett; Dickson Bou with Charlie Egleston & Peter Lebel; Matt W. Brown; Andreas Buchwaldt; Brianne Casey; Jérôme Conquy with Kevin Heslop, Sachiko Murakami, Sile Englert & Ruth Douthwright; Ioana Dragomir; Meghan Edmiston; Soheila Esfahani; Sky Glabush; Anahí González; Philip Gurrey; John Hatch; Tricia Johnson; Iraboty Kazi; Shelley Kopp; Anna Madelska; Patrick Mahon; Jennifer Martin; Linda Meloche; David Merritt; Ana Moyer; Dong-Kyoon Nam; Kim Neudorf; Katie Oates; Sasha Opeiko with Martin Stevens; Michelle Paterok; Kirsty Robertson; Geordie Shepherd; Andrew Silk; Ashley Snook; Christine Sprengler; Michelle Wilson with Bridget Koza,Sophie Wu, & Azadeh Odlins; Jessica Woodward
The promotional graphic for "Distance makes the heart grow weak" cites the short film, "Extraordinary Measures," by Sasha Opeiko and Martin Stevens, featured in the exhibition.
Given Ontario's recent stay-at-home order, the exhibition will be released in a virtual format on Friday, January 15th. Throughout the course of the exhibition, Artlab will publish short video features from participating artists and researchers.

RECEPTION: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 / 5-7PM
Through Our Lens features work by fourth year students Olivia Pattison, Abbygale Shelley, and Isabella Springett. Of this exhibition they state: "that the work reflects our initial response to the pandemic, and is based on both our individual and shared experiences, drawing from personal documentation/archives. The COVID-19 lockdown was a universal experience that drastically changed the way we lived our lives. Everyone has their own perspective regarding the last two years—this is ours."

Brazil/Canadá
Curated by Bruno Sinder, PhD candidate
Artlab Gallery
August 5-25, 2022
Opening Reception: Thursday, August 11 from 5:00 -7:00pm
Featuring over 100 family photographs of Brazilian immigrants to Canada, Brazil/Canadá invites viewers to reflect on the role personal photography plays in the process of migration. Also present in the exhibition are quotes from my conversations with the participants, where we talked about their journeys and the stories behind the photographs submitted. While the traditional print family album might be seen as an object left behind in the transition from analog to digital photography, family photography is more popular and prevalent than ever. Where do these photographs circulate and, most importantly, what do they do? Can they help us navigate the difficulties and complexities of migrating to a new country?
In this exhibition, I invite you to circulate alongside the images through three of the spaces these photographs operate in: the gallery walls, the digital world, and the home. Wander the gallery, navigate the database, and sit down with the physical albums.

ARTIST MATERIAL FUND
October 27 – November 20, 2022
RECEPTION: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27 / 5-7PM
Come get some FREE building materials, tools, and art supplies at AMF at artLAB Gallery.
Founded in 2014, the AMF is a service that relocates material and diminishes waste produced in the art industry, while providing resources for artistic production. Rooted in cooperation and mutual aid, the program supports and promotes the sharing of under-used goods to realize their full, potential value, builds more efficient studios. It’s a platform that operates outside of the capitalist, consumerist model, and strives to create one viable alternative to the common issue of fiscal precarity and ecological irresponsibility. As an economically and environmentally responsible redistribution centre, the service gives raw workable material another life by collecting materials from cultural institutions across Southwestern Ontario, making them free and available to artists and individuals in the community.
The rules are simple:
First-come, first-served.
There is no limit to what you can take.
Take only what you need.
It is pick up only.
We do not accept unsolicited drop offs.
We do not deliver.
You don’t need to be an artist to collect material.
We’ve got lots to go around.
A community engagement project by Suzanne Carte, the AMF is supported by the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB). This edition of the AMF was curated by students in MCS4691 Waste Stream/Waste Dream.
