Sue Ford (1943–2010) was one of Australia’s most important photographers and f ilmmakers. Ford studied photography at RmIT and in 1974 was the f irst Australian photographer to be given a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. Ford passed away in late 2010.

Self-portrait with camera (1960–2006) and Time series (1960s-1970s) provide an excellent opportunity for Australian audiences to reassess Ford’s important work, the place of photography in Australian feminism, and the self-portrait as a genre.

A pipedream is a tremendous hope that is impossible to achieve. Similarly, the nonsensical squishy pipe creations that erica produces could never (and don’t wish to) perform the basic role of a pipe; instead these forms invite us to contemplate the unseen intertwining grid that circulates our lives – giving to us and taking away.

Pipe Dreams is a celebration of the mundane; the functional; the absurd and the genius of modern and mechanical, convenient life. This is the f irst solo exhibition of works by Gold Coast based emerging artist erica Gray.

The Friends is a not-for-prof it organisation of 1600 members. Its origin dates back to the 1960s when a small group of Gold Coast residents raised funds to build a cultural centre, culminating with its opening in December 1986.

Today, they continue to provide suppor t to The Ar ts Centre Gold Coast and individuals pursuing a career in the ar ts. In 2012 The Friends are proud to sponsor the inaugural Youth Ar ts Academy.
