Gallery on Sturt was proud to exhibit the works of five very talented photographers during the 2009 International Foto Biennale.

The Ballarat Foto Biennale [BIFB'09] ran from the September 4th to October 4th 2009 and was an exciting event for Ballarat. BIFB'09 presented a Core Exhibition Program of '20 of the best' from across Australia and the world, including exhibiting artists from China, Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, USA & Canada.

BIFB'09 was the largest photographic event in the southern hemisphere for 2009, an experience for all fans of photography and photographic art.

The festival presented a huge program of photographic events over multiple venues throughout Ballarat and the adjoining Hepburn Shire. Gallery on Sturt was proud to have been nominated as a fringe venue for the duration of the Biennale. The Foto Biennale exhibition at Gallery in Sturt was proudly sponsored by Hayden's Real Estate.

Teagan Glenane
This ongoing project, 'As the Dark Sets In' shows a modern female muse embracing and pushing the notion of femininity. Inspired by the softer feelings of love, and reflection, she floats in her own moment with the soft glow of the approaching darkness.

Clive McWaters
Clive's exhibition is a mix of pure landscape, illustrative landscape and portrait work. His exhibition is a very diverse and interesting body of work that shows why he won many national and state awards in 2008. There is sure to be something to please you visually from a dark and mysterious New Zealand landscape to a contemporary colorful Ballarat canvas. Clive has also added some of his stunning portrait work of people, animals and some tasteful nude works. This beautiful collection of his award winning images along with a book launch will be sure to please.

Peter Kervarec
Every large or small object, no matter how grand, insignificant or mundane, can become an instant star under quality lighting.

Simon Peterswald
Simon is an amateur with over 35 years experience mainly with transparencies but latterly in digital. He has had numerous images published in UK periodicals where he lived for many years and two of the images in the show reflect that time. Since returning to Australia he has been fortunate enough to be shortlisted for the inaugural National Photographic Portrait Prize of 2007. One of a handful of amateurs who had a portrait hung. This exhibition has a strong link to wood and water with an emphasis on detail and the aging process that takes place.

Steph Tout
Sum of these holes : new pinhole works. When walking through a location, there is a plethora of visual stimuli surrounding you, shifting with your every step. Instinctively you select what to absorb according to subjective interests, emotions, experience. These many sensory encounters amalgamate into an intricate, non-linear yet cohesive understanding of place. Steph Tout explores this perceptual process in Sum of these holes; a collection of panoramic montages of place created with a 6-pinhole camera. Impressions have been gathered from sites both wild and urban, from a mountaintop to a carport's ruins. This exhibition follows on from ensemble:place by pinhole, Steph's Main Program show at DFB 07.
