SUMMARY:HARMONY
DESCRIPTION:National Cartoon Gallery celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity in new exhibition \nAustralia’s rich cultural diversity will be on show at the National Cartoon Gallery’s latest exhibition to coincide with National Harmony Week in March. \nThe exhibition features over 150 cartoons from some of Australia’s finest talent\, all highlighting the best\, and sometimes worst aspects of a nation built on over 65\,000 years of First Nations cultures and almost 250 years of immigration. \nGallery manager Bruce Nelson said the exhibition theme was very timely given the political and wider debate currently taking place about the topic. \n“Multiculturalism’s defining spirit has evolved in recent years from a “feel-good” policy of celebrating food and festivals into a more complex social and political flashpoint we see daily in the media\,” he said. \n“The collection in this exhibition explores a number of attitudes around multiculturalism and First Nations people through satirical and sometimes brutal commentary. \n“Whatever your view on the subject\, we haven’t sanitised the cartoons chosen for the display and have let the artist’s work speak for their own opinions.” \nHarmony Week is an annual celebration of Australia’s cultural diversity and the benefits it brings to the Australian community. \nThis year Harmony Week will be held from 17 to 23 March and includes the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) on Friday 21 March. \nThe exhibition opens Wednesday 4th March and runs until 20th April. \nThe Bunker Gallery\, now featuring both the National Cartoon Gallery and the new National Holden Motor Museum\, is open Wednesday to Monday 10 am to 4 pm (closed Tuesdays).

SUMMARY:Artificial Irreverence (AI) Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Irreverence (AI) – a look at technology at the National Cartoon Gallery. \nThe world of technology including AI\, computers\, robots and social media is the theme for the latest exhibition to open at the National Cartoon Gallery on Wednesday\, 5 March. \nArtificial Irreverence (AI) features 150 works from some of Australia’s best cartoonists and illustrators and is a humorous and sometimes thought provoking look at how prevalent technology has become in our everyday lives. \nGallery vice-president Margaret Cameron said the exhibition is timely given the rapid rise of artificial intelligence through programs such as Chat GPT and other AI tools. \n“Technology has been a large part of our lives for some time\, but the last year has really seen it become front and centre in everything we do for better or worse\,” she said. \n“AI has quickly evolved to help us with tasks such as communication\, productivity and other applications\, and social media has also been put in the spotlight due to its negative impacts. While we can’t live without technology\, we should also remember it’s here to serve us\, and Artificial Irreverence (AI) reminds us about this through the art of cartoons and illustrations.” \nMs Cameron said cartoons can use a variety of rhetorical devices\, including irony\, symbolism\, and analogy\, and can also use exaggeration and labelling to convey meaning. \n“The exhibition draws on our extensive collection and shows how technology has changed over time\, including its past forms and the attitudes people have towards it\,” she said. \nThe exhibition opens next Wednesday and runs until the beginning of June. \nThe Bunker Gallery\, now featuring both the National Cartoon Gallery and the new National Holden Motor Museum\, is open Wednesday to Sunday 10 am to 4 pm. \nFor more information visit www.nationalcartoongallery.com.au

SUMMARY:Emile Mercier
DESCRIPTION:Emile Mercier (1901-1981) was an Australian cartooning icon who arrived in Australia as a young man from New Caledonia\, hoping to find his fortune.  He found work as a full-time cartoonist for the The Sun newspaper in 1949. but steered away from cartooning cliches to produce cartoons that carried a gentle Gallic humour filled with absurdity and whimsy about his new life in a foreign country. \nHe was a shrewd observer of daily life in the inner suburbs of Sydney and his strokes of artistry and sense of the ridiculous\, often lampooned our strange obsessions\, such as pouring gravy on every meal.  His comic drawings of drunks\, tramps\, horse-racing\, boxing\, fashion\, motoring\, golf and stray cats show us a man who could not control his “natural Gallic naughtiness”\, who dressed like his cartoon characters but earned the respect of all those who worked with him.

It shows how cartoonists have responded to our changing times\, and represents the sheer talent on display by our Australian cartoonists and caricaturists. \nEveryone is welcome to the opening night @6pm 5 Nov.  It will be a real treat to the eyes.
