The Photographer, the Projectionist and the Set Fixer Workshop with Kathy Mackey

Digital media artist Kathy Mackey, one of the six commissioned artists in Here and Now: Gold Coast Triennial, leads this for a one-of-a-kind digital workshop! Kathy will share some knowledge and techniques used to create her commissioned work for you to try out and create a work of your own.

Using photomedia techniques to explore the relationships between image and object.

Working with digital cameras, data projectors and laptops you will work in small groups to create a diverse range of still and moving images.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own DSLR / mirrorless camera and a tripod if they have one. If not a phone camera would be fine.

#Artist Bio

Kathy Mackey is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the liminal spaces between the natural and the artificial - and public and private realms.

She works across photography, video, installation and community-based practices and is particularly interested in the sites and behaviours associated with leisure. She is one of the six commissioned artists in Here and Now: Gold Coast Triennial.

In 2021 and 2022, as one of the GENERATE GC artists she undertook extensive research into the concept of organised leisure as a form of site responsive work. Her project entitled “Let’s Organise Your Leisure” (LOYL) was successfully piloted at HOTA in January 2022.The project was further developed through an artist-in-residence project at the Georges River in Sydney during the following autumn. Further iterations of LOYL were presented at the SWELL Sculpture Festival in September 2022 and the HORIZON Festival at the Sunshine Coast in September 2023.
