July 9, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The long-awaited Dual Arts Exhibition opened in Murgon on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was designed to settle a 150-year old dispute about whether photography can really be considered art by mounting artworks of iconic South Burnett scenes against photographs of the same things.<\/p>\n

The project – by Murgon artists Lee Porter and Sherrianne Talon, and co-ordinated by Sandy Hoffmann – began in January this year when the trio received a $25,000 RADF grant from the South Burnett Regional Council to explore their idea.<\/p>\n

The group invited members of the public to nominate South Burnett scenes for the project.<\/p>\n

Artist Lee Porter then prepared artworks for selected scenes, while photographer Sherianne Talon photographed them.<\/p>\n

The subjects of the works cover everything from Tarong Power Station to a view over the vineyards at Dusty Hill, and Maidenwell’s Coomba Falls through to Kingaroy’s Peanut Silos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About a dozen of the works are expected to be added to the South Burnett Regional Council’s permanent art collection and may be used to promote the region in future.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the exhibition was officially opened at a “pop up” gallery at 90 Lamb Street in Murgon by Cr Kathy Duff and Mayor Wayne Kratzmann.<\/p>\n

Outside, visitors could enjoy some relaxing jazz from saxophonist Tom McKenzie, a children’s jumping castle, coffee and hot chocolate from Mondee Coffee 2 Go or sausages served up by Murgon Rotary Club members.<\/p>\n

A glossy coffee table book which displays all the works in the exhibition was also launched on the day for $24.98 a copy. Colouring-in books are also available.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will remain on display at the Lamb Street gallery from 10:00am to 4:00pm daily until the end of the month. Admission to view it is free.<\/p>\n
