The Linden Postcard show is an open entry award
exhibition featuring small format contemporary
work. The exhibition, which is part of the St Kilda
Festival, has become a prominent event in the
Melbourne cultural calendar and attracts thousands
of visitors.
The Postcard Show derives its name from the
tradition of selecting 6 works to be reproduced and
sold as Linden Postcards. Our collection of eighty
five cards is currently on sale in the gallery.

MEDIA RELEASE
Shower scene a winner!
Over 6,000 people visited Linden’s
2003 Postcard Show during its first weekend including a crowd of
around 2,500 who gathered for the announcement of prize winners
at the exhibition opening on the afternoon of Saturday 8
February.
The Judges, who included Patricia
Piccini, Australia’s representative to the 2003 Venice
Biennale, had a difficult task in choosing the winners from a
record 2005 entries from 770 artists from all over Australia.
The 1st Prize, the Hocking Stuart
Award of $3,000, went to Hedy Ritterman’s photograph of a
shower scene. Hedy explained that “this photograph is the
signature piece from a larger series of images that explore my
cultural identity and reference the holocaust”.
2nd Prize, the Dog’s Bar
Award of $1,000 went to Anna Hoyle for her work Neo Jumbucks #3
while the 3rd Prize of $750 worth of art materials from Art
Spectrum Finest Colours went to Jennifer Mills for Secret
Squirrel II.
The Postcard Show even rated a
mention in Parliament when Michael Danby MHR, Federal Member for
Melbourne Ports and a Postcard Patron, gave a speech about his
involvement with the show. He was recorded as saying:
“On the weekend I had
the opportunity to attend an important artistic institution
in my electorate, the Linden Gallery, and the latest
successful postcard exhibition……The creativity of
Australian artists never ceases to amaze me. I am fortuntate
to have an electorate that is very close to the artistic
community and a very active institution the Linden Gallery
is, too, in perpetuating and helping Australian artists”
The Postcard Show always features
the work of both emerging and established artists. This year’s
show includes works by well known artists Jenny Watson, Greg
Ades, Mandy Gunn, Susan Fereday, Greg Creek and Kristin Headlam.
All works in the 2003 Postcard
Show are for sale with the majority of works priced under $300.
The show runs until Sunday 16 March. Gallery hours are Tuesday
– Sunday 1.00 – 6.00pm.
