The Library of NSW in Sydney is now hosting once again the World Press Award Exhibition, a high-class photographic time capsule of 2007 with a range of pictures going from news to sports or entertainment. Among the list of lucky/deserving winners this year, there is Andrew Quilty a young talented Australian photographer who did a black and white photo essay on Maxwelton annual race in outback Queensland. “ I had about 10 messages waiting on my phone all saying congratulations. I took me about 3 messages to work out what they were all talking about” he recalls. “It wasn't something that I thought I would achieve for a very long time.” On May 22nd, Andrew Quilty will be to the Library to talk about his work. A rare opportunity to have an explanation straight from the artist himself. (Free but booking essential.)
