On the Cover
From the Editor Gender and all its complexities come to the fore this issue with three varying previews. Lucy Stranger looks at the National Portrait Gallery’s ‘Tough and Tender’ exhibition, a collection of raw and intimate photographs that address masculinity. Then on to the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art’s ‘Cindy Sherman’ show, whose many characters mine society’s expectations and ideals. While Melissa Pesa previews the fluid beauty of the National Gallery of Victoria’s ‘Degas A New Vision’, which opens a window to a former time with scenes from the ballet to the boudoir. This is also my last issue as Art Almanac Editor as I pass the reigns to Chloe Mandryk. Having worked across art galleries, publications and festivals, Chloe brings a terrific mix of talent, passion and experience to Art Almanac. Annie Sebel and the Art Almanac team
On the Cover Cindy Sherman The first major show of Sherman’s work in Australia since 2000, the exhibition includes her ‘head shots’ series. From 2000-02, Sherman returned as model after working predominately with mannequins, dolls and props for many years. Often leaving her works untitled and largely open to interpretation, Untitled #402, is an example of Sherman’s continuing play and parody of characters, genres and stereotypes. An exploration of representations of women – taken from the pages of magazines and the world of television and social media – that has informed her practice since her first 1976 series ‘Bus Riders’.

Wednesday 8 June 2016, the ArtsPeak National Arts Election Debate was held in Melbourne. The three-cornered conversation was between Arts Minister Senator Mitch Fifield, Shadow Arts Minister Mark Dreyfus and Greens Arts Spokesperson, Adam Bandt. The Greens Party reaffirmed their promise to support organisations like Australia Council, ArtStart and Playing Australia with an investment of $270.2 million in additional funding over the next four years and will implement a living wage for artists. The Australian Labor Party also promised, if elected, to restore funding to the arts allocating $80 million over four years for the Australia Council and $60 million for local drama on the ABC. The Coalition, as of this date* have yet to release details of its arts policy.
called for solidarity within the arts, “We’re now seeing the political profile of the arts being raised. The intention of the next two weeks, starting on Friday, is to say to the community, ‘If you care about the arts, show that you care.’” A National Day of Action for the arts was scheduled for Friday 17 June 2016 – a demonstration of support from artists, institutions and organisations across Australia, arousing public support for the arts ahead of the Australian election on Saturday 2 July 2016. #istandwiththearts #ausvotesarts *Written Wednesday 15 June 2016 Photograph: Tanja Bruckner

Exhibition Previews

Degas: A New Vision by Melissa Pesa
Amid the cluster of tutus and silk stockings, ballerinas stand en pointe in the limelight, composed with semi-perfect discipline. As they prepare to pirouette across the stage, their dance is strengthened by the use of swift lines and striking use of light and colour. The scene, a Parisian dance hall. The artist, Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Avidly exploring the movement of the human body, Degas produced a body of work unrivaled in beauty and innovation. For the latest instalment of the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series, the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Art Exhibitions Australia (AEA), present the most significant international survey exhibition of the work of Edgar Degas in almost thirty years. Curated by eminent French scholar and former Director of the Musée du Louvre, Henri Loyrette, ‘Degas: A New Vision’ explores the complete span of the artist’s 50-year career, highlighting his technical, conceptual and 42
expressive achievements across the different mediums of painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking and photography. The exhibition is evidence that Degas is more than just a painter of dancers. The comprehensive exhibition fills the gallery space with over 200 works of art on loan from more than 50 cities and 12 countries. Presented thematically, the works are sectioned according to the many subjects that fascinated Degas throughout his career: family portraits like the iconic The Bellelli family (c.1858-1867), nudes, his renowned theatre halls like The rehearsal (c.187378) and On stage III (1876-77), as well as emotive portrayals of Parisian nightlife; the brothel, the racecourse, the art exhibition and the café. These places of leisure gave rise to the important figure in 19th century French culture, the flâneur – a person who walks the city in order to experience it – the quintessential counterpart to Degas. Captivated by modern life, Degas depicted these scenes with great sensitivity, observing the isolation and psychological complexity of his subjects.

Interview

Airan Kang Airan Kang, has a thing for books. The South Korean artist can’t help but gravitate towards the written word. An ever-flowing source of inspiration for her work, she creates paintings, sculptures and installations that pay homage to their importance. “My work has been delving into symbolisation of books, their epistemological, ontological significance and inalterable value as a source of information and knowledge throughout human history,” says Kang. Since the 1990s, Kang has been working on her ‘Digital Book Project’, where dust jackets are enshrined in clear or mirrored plastic and lit up with LEDs to become neon sculptures that flicker, glow and change colour; calling the viewer to get closer. Libraries, journals, poems, words and typography entwine with technology, bringing the internal world of ideas, thoughts and the imagination, into the exterior; carving and creating ‘interspaces’ with them.
46
Her candy-coloured sculptures come to Sydney as part of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s, ‘New Romance – art and the posthuman’ exhibition. It brings together Australian and Korean artists who reflect on ideas of the future, what it means to be human, and our relationship with technology. Curator Anna Davis says she was interested in including Kang’s work as it “makes me think about the future of knowledge. It raises questions such as: ‘How will we store knowledge in the future?’, ‘What bits of it will we value?’ and ‘Will we absorb it in the same ways?’ Kang suggests that the way we are absorbing knowledge now is becoming more multi-sensory and she links this to synaesthesia where senses get mixed up and combined.” When did you know you wanted to be an artist? I can remember that I have been into drawing since I was very young. Things were very natural that I got into Art High School and Art College consequently. Probably all of the complements and support throughout that time made me become an artist.
Out-of-Sync I Can Hardly Wait: Stuplimity and the Aesthetics of Neo-Liberalism
Catherine Truman
This exhibition is one of an ongoing series of short video performances by Melbourne-based collaborators Norie Neumark and Maria Miranda (Out-of-Sync).
The Art Gallery of South Australia have long recognised the significance of Adelaide-based artist Catherine Truman in Australian contemporary jewellery and object making. It is fitting that her work be the subject of the Gallery’s 2016 exhibition for SALA – South Australian Living Artists Festival.
For over 20 years, the duo have engaged with questions of culture, place and memory in an attempt to explore and understand the concept of provocation found in literary texts and popular cultural forms such as film, TV and music. Borrowing from literary author Sianne Ngai’s concept of ‘stuplimity’ – the playing around between the sublime and the stupid – Out-ofSync explore the aesthetics of neo-liberalism through slapstick comedy, primarily from the well-known American vaudeville act, the Three Stooges.
For thirty-five years, Truman has largely drawn inspiration from the anatomy of the human form, its movement, limitations and our obsessive drive to understand it. This inquisitive nature has led her to explore the relationship between art and science through detailed, miniature carvings. The works, although not entirely representative, are still deeply familiar. Art Gallery of South Australia Until 4 September, 2016

Visit website for public programs and events. To July 31 Panorama: Part Two featuring selected works from the TarraWarra Museum of Art collection, Panorama will explore the divergent ways in which artists have represented the Australian landscape over the past several decades. The term panorama will create a context for how artists see the landscape – not simply as a depiction of it, but also an evocation of the layers of history within it. Also, the scarifier by Judy Watson – Watson’s process lies in revealing hidden stories within Country, working from site and memory, revealing Indigenous histories, following lines of emotional and physical topography that centre on particular places and moments in time. Watson has been invited to create new work for the North Gallery, where she will respond to the Museum’s situation in the Yarra Valley.
