Like a Rhinestone Cowboy
Multi award winning performer, Darren Coggan, returns to his country roots 'Like A Rhinestone Cowboy', delivering the vocal authenticity and guitar prowess of the great Glen Campbell. In a personal reflection, Darren respectfully honours the indelible voice behind the golden hits of the 60’s and 70’s including Gentle On My Mind, Wichita Lineman, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Try A Little Kindness, Galveston, True Grit, Southern Nights, Rhinestone Cowboy and many more.
“Glen Campbell has always been an inspiration to me, from a very early age, he was the reason I wanted to be a country singer, in fact my parents have cassette tapes of me singing Rhinestone Cowboy at the age of about 4. I had the honour of touring with Glen on his Australian tour in 1997, opening up his show each night as a fresh faced, twenty-four-year-old from Wagga Wagga. Glen went out of his way to make me feel welcome, watching my performance from the wings each night and encouraging me to take the road less travelled and be myself.” Reflected Darren.
During a career that spanned six decades, Campbell sold over 45 million records. His guitar touched the landmark recordings of his time. That’s his rhythm line on Sinatra’s ‘Strangers in the Night’, he played bubble-gum riffs for the Monkees; his guitar rings out on the ‘Viva Las Vegas’ soundtrack album by Presley and, alongside his voice, his guitar playing grooved on the Beach Boys’ landmark album ‘Pet Sounds’.
He was a rare breed in the music business, a hybrid stylist at home in both country and pop music, a chart-topping singer and hit television host, a prime mover in the creation of the country crossover phenomenon that made the careers of Kenny Rogers and many other artists possible.
At the age of 81, following his long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease, Glen Campbell took his final bow, but the legacy he leaves behind is expansive, songs that the whole world sang along with, now, remarkably re-created live, by Darren Coggan.

The HIT Network Presents Australia’s most revered pop artist of the new millennium, Dami Im is set to take her all new national tour on the road in 2019. Bringing her exciting band along, concertgoers can expect to see something special in Dami’s live show; an array of established hits and fan favourites from X Factor, power ballad and international Eurovision smash, “Sound of Silence” and a mix of new material including ‘Dreamer’.
Dami is no stranger to the stage, since performing in intimate venues along the east coast of Australia, Dami reveals “I’ve always felt most confident when I’m on stage performing and it’s been a dream of mine to live this life as a performer. It’s going to be a very special tour where I get to show my musical evolution as I sing my previous repertoire as well as the new music that I’ve been working on this year.”
Dami Im has amassed a multitude of hits and achievements during her relatively short career. The Korean born singer and musician first came to national prominence when she won season five of The X Factor in 2013. Dami walked off The X Factor stage victorious and strode, without delay, into the #1 spot on the ARIA charts with her platinum self-titled album DAMI IM.
Since then, she’s released three more acclaimed studio albums, including the Gold accredited 2014 release, CLASSIC CARPENTERS, which peaked at #3 on the ARIA album charts and gave rise to a sold-out national tour. Dami then traveled to Sweden to represent Australia at The Eurovision Song Contest 2016—where she placed second in the world performing in front of an audience of 200 million with her international hit, ‘Sound of Silence’. Early 2018, Dami released her fourth studio album I HEAR A SONG which peaked #3 on the ARIA Album Charts.

Land & Title
The collection of the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) consists of over 2000 objects and works of art. It is a collection of diversity and strength, and like any sustained collection, it wears its history proudly. The careful examination of any such collection is an act of cultural archaeology that variously reveals through-lines of focus, moments of great achievement or generosity, curiosities, spasms of eccentricity, maligned histories, and reasons for deserved civic, personal or institutional pride. The MAMA collection is no different in this regard.
This spectrum of inquiry and endeavour is no easy thing to map. As such, the current hang of the MAMA art collection, under the banner of Land and Title, does not attempt a comprehensive survey. Rather, it seeks moments of connection between art works that bridge divides of time, style, medium and origin.
Land & Title is an exclusively Australian exhibition, and takes its title from Albury’s Land and Title Building, which was renovated to form part of the MAMA redevelopment, and now contains the Joss Family Galleries that house the exhibition.
Artworks that relate directly to artist’s experience of the local area are included, with Russell Drysdale’s Convoy on a road near Albury, and Mary Jane Griggs Arboreta series, featuring prominently. These sit within an exchange between artworks that consider the complex history of Australia more broadly. Gordon Bennett’s print works Poem and Penetration explicitly address the violent colonisation of this land by British forces, Yorta Yorta artist Uncle Phil Murray’s collection of spears signposts Aboriginal resilience whilst celebrating traditional practices of object making, whilst Gloria Petyarre’s Leaves provides a modest, yet beautiful example of the artist’s defining painterly motif, elongated daubs of paint that suggest the dynamism of nature and speak to practices of bush medicine. Also included are works by Tom Roberts, Fred Williams and Ian Fairweather, three male artists who, although separated in time and celebrated in their own unique ways, present markers of colonial histories of Australia that inform an understanding of the ongoing centrality of land to Australian cultural sensibilities.
These works of art provide a frame upon which ideas that relate more closely to subjective inspection, material exploration and the nature of narrative and storytelling can be supported. Artists in this section of Land and Title include Bea Maddock, Aida Tomescu and Mike Parr, three artists who have greatly informed recent histories of Australian printmaking, photographers Olive Cotton, Tracey Moffatt, Bill Henson and Justine Varga, as well as Asher Bilu and Gunter Christmann, John Coburn and Jimmy Njiminjuma.
The works of the nineteen artists presented in Land and Title collectively offer a story of the complexity, difference and strength of recent Australian art practice, and the relationship between the art and the environment in which it was made.

Sidney Nolan: Ned Kelly Series
Sidney Nolan’s Ned Kelly series depicts the story of Australia’s most infamous outlaw in a sequence of 26 paintings.
Nolan’s starkly simplified silhouette and vibrant colour strokes brought this early colonial mythology to life, with Nolan’s depiction quickly forming part of Australia’s shared iconography.
The series is a masterclass on Australian history and the development of a new figuration and landscape depiction in Australian art.

Summer Place
Australia is facing a plastic waste crisis. With China no longer accepting Australia’s mixed recyclables, some waste management facilities have been left to stockpile recyclables while a solution is sought.
Albury Waste Management Centre alone receives 4 tonnes of hard plastic per week. Where will this plastic waste end up? Can we possibly recycle it all?
In a first for Albury, MAMA has commissioned award winning architect Raffaello Rosselli to design and construct an experimental structure to stand in QEII Square over the summer period.
Summer Place, the first in an annual experimental architecture series, will highlight the hard plastic crisis of 2018, in a unique design that engages our local community in this critical conversation.
We invite you to explore inside the structure during our opening hours, however, Summer Place will be secured overnight.
Margaret Sprouster: Up ahead
In her new solo exhibition Up ahead, Margaret Sprouster presents a selection of recent paintings that focus on places of shelter, birds in flight and the rural landscape of the border region.
These paintings are the product of a reflective time in the artist’s life, and collectively they convey a sparseness, a desire to pause, and overall a sense of calm in the world.
This is the final exhibition in the 2018 Brindley Family Galleries program, supporting artists from the Murray region.
Sprouster has a long standing involvement with the arts and creative pursuits in the region - as a painter, a teacher, a student, an organiser, a peer and as a supporter. The steadfastness of Sprouster’s involvement in the cultural life of Albury has garnered her much respect and admiration.
Join us for the opening on Thursday 6 December at 5.30pm to celebrate with the artist.
Margaret will also present an artist talk on Thursday 10 January.

Year 12 Art Show 2018
The Year 12 Art Show celebrates the achievements of graduating art students in the Murray region. This year, the exhibition will be co-hosted between three venues: Albury LibraryMuseum, Arts Space Wodonga, & Murray Art Museum Albury.
This popular annual exhibition provides an important opportunity for the community to connect with the ideas, concerns and complex identities of young people.
For the students involved, the exhibition is a chance to revisit their work outside the classroom and curriculum environment. For many it will be the first time that their work is displayed publicly as an object of value, rather than the result of an assessment task.
The vibrant and diverse artworks were drawn from:
- Albury High School
- Catholic College Wodonga
- James Fallon High School
- Murray High School
- Scots School Albury
- Victory Lutheran College
- Wodonga Senior Secondary College
- Xavier High School
- Beechworth Secondary College
- Tallangatta Secondary College
- Mt Beauty High School
- Trinity Anglican College
This exhibition also applauds the dedication and commitment of our local Visual Arts Teachers. For teachers and parents it is not only a time to celebrate the achievements of each student but a chance to acknowledge their contribution in the immense emotional, practical and financial support given to a Year 12 student in the midst of creating a major artwork for the HSC & VCE.
Year 12 Art Show Opening Reception
Celebrate the opening of the Year 12 Art Show at MAMA & LibraryMuseum at Retro Lane Café.
Over three venues, the Year 12 Art Show 2018 showcases the best artworks from graduating students from the Murray region.

Image: Raffaello Rosselli
This project has been challenging, with Raffaello and his team innovating new ways to work with hard plastic recyclables. Over many weeks at Albury Waste Management Centre experimenting and problem solving, the structure has evolved into the final design that will stand in QEII Square over the summer.
Summer Place will be officially launched on Saturday 15 December at 2.30pm, at which Raffaello will give a talk about the project, and sustainable architecture more broadly.
For an insight into some of Raffaello's past projects and award winning designs, check out his portfolio.
Summer Place: Project Launch
In a first for Albury, MAMA has commissioned award winning architect Raffaello Rosselli to design and construct an experimental structure to stand in QEII Square over the summer period.
After several months of experimental design and problem solving, architect Raffaello Rosselli has developed a brand new type of structure made from hard plastic recylclables from Albury Waste Management Centre.
Raffaello will join us at the launch and give a talk about the project, and his sustainable architecture practice more broadly. Please celebrate with us, in what we hope will be the first of an annual series of Summer architecture projects.

Armistice: Albury's Armistice Celebration
At 7.30pm on Monday 11 November 1918, Alderman H.G. Davies appeared on the balcony of the Town Hall clutching a telegram addressed to the Daily News and shouted to the people on Dean Street that the Armistice had been signed and the war was over!
This exhibition examines life in Albury at the time of the Armistice. It looks at the immediate impact of war, peace and a soldier’s return home. Albury, like the rest of Australia, was no longer at war. World War One had significant impact on Albury and this display looks at the way the people celebrated, welcomed the returned soldiers and commemorated those that were lost.
Join us for the launch of the exhibition on Friday 9 November, 11.00am

The Way of the Reformer: Gough Whitlam in his Century
Gough Whitlam shaped the Australian nation, but before that, the Australian nation shaped him. This exhibition, which marks the centenary of Gough Whitlam's birth, tells the story of the man behind the legacy – the bright Canberra schoolboy obsessed with Greek myths, the RAAF navigator braving hazardous skies at the height of the Pacific war, and the young father starting a family on the urban fringe.

Voyages Botanical
Voyages Botanical is artist Christine Johnson’s tribute to the untamed treasures of Australia’s vast native flower garden. It is indeed a voyage: through rare and wonderful landscapes, but also through our botanical heritage and history.
Voyages Botanical was inspired by Johnson’s time as a Creative Fellow at the State Library of Victoria. Her research, which drew on the Library’s collection of rare books of botanical illustration, took her back to the pioneering work of early botanical artists including Sydney Parkinson, Pierre-Joseph Redouté and Ferdinand Bauer. This was the beginning of Johnson’s own creative journey that at once honours our past, present and future.

Art Deco in Albury: Photography by Dirk HR Spenneman
Art Deco in Albury, an exhibition that explores Art Deco style in regional Australia, using Albury as the epitome of how Australians interpreted, loved, collected and lived the Art Deco from 1920s to the end of the 1930s.
The Art Deco Movement broke with tradition, exchanging elaborate decoration and detailing, for linear symmetry, strong lines and streamlined forms. The clean, sparse lines of Art Deco architecture were meant to invoke a sense of progress; of looking to the future.
Art Deco is about fun and frivolity, colour, design and essentially style. Art Deco is opulence, a time of ocean liners and streamlined Chrysler’s, Bakelite, cigarette cases and class. This was Albury’s golden time where we said goodbye to the Victorian “country town” attitude and became a modern city.
