We acknowledge and pay our respect to the many Aboriginal nations across this land, traditional custodians, Elders past and present; in particular the Guringai people of the Eora Nation where Art Almanac has been produced.
Formalist dialogues within a variety of art practices are celebrated in this issue. The intricate beaded panels of Alasdair McLuckie juxtapose Patricia Piccinini’s fleshy fiberglass sculptures, while two biennials in Sydney and Adelaide bring together an array of media. Haunting cameraless photographs in ‘Antipodean Emanations’ pare back the medium of photography as another group show, ‘Vanishing Point’, enlists the camera lens to explore the trope of the island.

Next Wave Festival ‘Next Wave’ features 31 world-premiere productions in creative spaces, theatres and galleries across the city of Melbourne from 2 to 20 May. Solo and curated exhibitions, workshops, inspiring dialogue and a lively program of performance-based works will showcase diversity in Australian artistic practices with questions directed at current social and world matters. Festival highlights include the highly charged ‘Apokalypsis’ – 100 historical disasters presented in 60 mins – Kai Bradley, Rosie Clynes, Marcus McKenzie, Charles Purcell. ‘Deep Water Dream Girl’ by sculptor and filmmaker Athena Thebus considers queer identity, Catholicism and Filipina femininity, while Taree Sansbury’s dance-based piece ‘mi:wi’ explores climate change, culture and new generations. ‘Next Wave’ brings powerful new experiences to the audience reflecting on the past and present to determine challenges of the future. nextwave.org.au Apokalypsis performance shot Photograph: Sarah Walker Courtesy the artists and Next Wave Festival, Melbourne

Dissonant Rhythms: Ross Manning Institute of Modern Art
This monograph documents artist and musician Ross Manning’s first ten-year survey exhibition ‘Dissonant Rhythms’ shown at Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, in 2017. Manning produces extraordinary kinetic sculptures, large-scale mobile structures and installations constructed from everyday objects. Incorporating overhead fans, projectors, fluorescent light tubes, electronic materials and hand-made percussion instruments, these compositions become energetic fusions of light, colour and sound generating mesmeric multi-sensory encounters with familiar objects in new forms. Essays by Ellie Buttrose, Dr Caleb Kelly, Madeleine King and Dr Danni Zuvela and a collection of photographs altogether capture the intrinsic nature of Manning’s ideas and inspirations, and the fundamental principles of his practice.
The Winter Garden Christine McFetridge M.33 and Bad News Books
‘The Winter Garden’ seeks to identify the familiar in a place continually changing.’ – Christine McFetridge Inside the cloth-bound covers of this book Melbourne-based photographer Christine McFetridge shares her interpretation of what ‘home’ means. Drawing on memory and nostalgia the artist explores her own sense of belonging with a collection of photographs taken while visiting her hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand. The singular placement of the images and the clean white pages between offer moments to pause and reflect, to turn the pages back and contemplate our own recollections and connection to place. A written piece by Ish Doney reminisces on what once was, now changed. ‘You wonder if you still have the right to call this home,’ the author concludes. 32
Patricia Piccinini Curious Affection Jeremy Eccles
‘It’s been a decade in the making, but GOMA’s invitation to create a whole world has been a dream for me’. In several speeches during the opening weekend of her solo show, Patricia Piccinini didn’t stint on her gratitude to the Queensland Art Gallery for its gift of the entire ground floor at its Gallery of Modern Art – the first time it’s been offered to an Australian artist. The sheer size of its echoing spaces does require artworks (and an imagination) that can fill them convincingly. And Piccinini is one of the few artists in the world who might fit the bill. She also has appeal outside the ‘art-world elite’, as was evidenced in 2016 when an audience of 1.4 million viewed ‘Comciência’ in Brazil, making her more popular than Renoir and Picasso that year. Perhaps those numbers encouraged critic John McDonald to describe her work as ‘Disneyfied’ in the National Gallery of Australia’s recent ‘Hyper Real’ show. Piccinini may have been addressing him when she asserted, ‘It’s not Hollywood; their monsters have to be killed, while my monsters are loved in the stories I and viewers make up around them’. And they’re loved via their eyes. Just as the artist won hearts with her running-shoe/monkey’s eyes in the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia’s ‘New Romance’ exhibition, so here, the cheeky Pollinator (2017) peers into the womb of the faceless, legs akimbo creature that you meet when first entering Piccinini’s ‘whole world’, but any unsavoury thoughts are dismissed by those winsome eyes. Move through the 3,000 waving transgenic plants that fructify this darkened space, and the eyes on Kindred (2018) will be the next to suck you in. For this wistful orangutan mother with babies that are clearly mutating towards the human, is sister to the sad-eyed Big Mother from 2005 – pieces that the artist hails as ‘classic Piccinini’. But you’re not merely sucked in to sympathise, rather to reflect upon the nature of evolution and, indeed, to ponder the pangs and joys of motherhood itself. Surrounded by her family at the opening, the artist – who has described herself as ‘chemically female’ in the past – made several references to her own IVF experience in producing the children who also appear in her artworks. That must have influenced her scientific investigation of such matters as CRISPA gene-editing, as well as the yen to imagine futures beyond the realms of science. But, as you climb up from The Field (2018) and are confronted by something that is chemically and mechanically male – Heartwood (2018) – questions spring to mind about the predominantly female nature of the Piccinini enterprise. Heartwood is a massive, three-legged figure without eyes, though three helmeted heads hang from his mighty torso like autumnal flowers. Perched on a shoulder is an eagle – intended, says the artist, to suggest an acceptance by nature of this unnatural beast. For me, though, this confabulation on high cried ‘Prometheus’ – the male who stole fire from the Gods and was perpetually punished by an eagle devouring his liver by day, only to have it restored for further pain each night. Is that a story Piccinini would want conjured, I wonder, or has this macho figure failed to throw out her expected gynophoric scents? 38
Elsewhere at QAGOMA, Picasso’s ‘Vollard Suite’ is on tour from the National Gallery. It reminds us that people have been wishing themselves into imagined identities like the Minotaur throughout time. At a ‘World Science Festival’ forum discussing Piccinini’s work, I was attracted to the summation from Cosmos Editor Ellen Finkel that she is ‘offering aspirational mythologies that science could adopt’. Jeremy Eccles is a specialist arts commentator who has been writing, broadcasting and filmmaking in Australia since 1983, with a special interest in Indigenous culture.

Vanishing Point Elli Walsh The island is a fascinating trope. On the one hand, it’s fraught with dark colonial histories – think Prospero in Shakespeare’s The Tempest violently subjugating Caliban on his native isle; a microcosm that applies, of course, to our own ‘island home’. It’s also a site of wilderness, where Freud’s concept of the id flourishes, liberating the primal urges that are repressed in ‘civilised’ society. ‘Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood’ chant the shipwrecked little boys in Lord of the Flies as they succumb to their primitive under-selves. This is a far cry from European representations of fictionalised Pacific paradises and the phenomenon of ‘islomania’, which imagines an Edenic escape from the woes of life. The paradoxical ubiquity of island landscapes within the popular imagination is unpacked by five female artists in ‘Vanishing Point’, an exhibition that conceptualises the isolated landmass as a place where opposing ideas meet. Featuring works by Consuelo Cavaniglia, Ellen Dahl, Yvette Hamilton, Taloi Havini and Salote Tawale, the artist-led presentation filters personal narratives, socio-political considerations and commentary on cultural histories through the photographic apparatus of the lens.

SUPERPOSITION: Equilibrium & Engagement The 21st Biennale of Sydney Eleanor Zeichner
In 1973 the ‘Biennale of Sydney’ was a bellwether, one of the first in a now-packed calendar of international biennales. Currently in its 45th year of operation, it must continue to grapple with the substantial task of representing international and Australian contemporary art practice, while speaking persuasively to diverse audiences. This edition’s Artistic Director Mami Kataoka, Chief Curator of Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum since 2009, has delivered an exhibition that serves this need, turning these sometimes-conflicting requirements into a strength. Presenting the work of 70 artists and collectives across seven venues, the show seeks balance between the local and the global, and between official histories and individual memory. While the overarching theme of ‘superposition’ – a term from quantum mechanics referring to the paradoxical duality of microscopic particles in motion – may at first glance seem overly complex, it doesn’t weigh the exhibition down with jargon. Kataoka deploys the concept with a light touch. She grants numerous entry points to the casual and scholarly viewer alike, offering vast experiences from the subtle to the bombastic. The presentation explores the multiplicity and interconnectedness of the human condition, replete with conflict, community and resilience. In an anniversary year, it also takes multiple opportunities for historical reflection and revision.

Evelyna Helmer Broken Open
Thienny Lee Gallery Until 15 May, 2018 Sydney
‘Propaganda’ presents posters from all of the major 20th century conflicts, revealing the power of information graphics and communication strategies in eliciting fear, loathing and calls to action. Drawn from the Australian War Memorial’s collection of historical propaganda prints – one of the largest in the world – the images are presented alongside newly commissioned works by three contemporary Australian artists; Alison Alder, Mini Graff and Jake Holmes. These works offer fresh perspectives on the unique aesthetics and politics of advertising.
Evelyna Helmer’s latest paintings are portraits of an inner state. The artist sets up dialogues between intuitively painted abstraction and smooth shapes with strongly defined edges. Geometric forms, including circles, squares and teardrops, carry conceptual and cultural weight – invitations to follow Helmer on her inward dive.

‘Broken’ references Japanese kintsugi, in which damaged pottery is repaired using gold. The metaphor is clear: our lives are damaged by disappointment, lost opportunities and grief, yet we can be enriched by this damage.
Anna Gore Out in Style
Fontanelle Gallery Until 3 June, 2018 South Australia
Transboundaries QUT Art Museum Until 3 June, 2018 Queensland
Anna Gore considers the language of abstraction in her artistic practice as an alternative way to understanding worldly experience. ‘Out In Style’ presents a painting installation in bold colour and shape where form and process are influenced by emotion, aesthetic experimentation and an appreciation for the limitless possibilities between abstract painting and subject matter. Withholding familiar visual cues of knowledge and meaning, Gore tempts the viewer’s imagination in a quest for interpretation.
This triennial exhibition features works by seven QUT alumni working across different disciplines, including dance, film media, political documentation, photography and installation. Curated by Kevin Wilson, the show examines interactions between a range of contemporary phenomena, from ecology, technology and psychology to politics, economics, science and nature. Crossing the boundaries of time and reaching into future worlds, artists consider the implications of our actions on others, what it means to work together and our relationship to what is outside us.

The artists use archetypal children’s play structures as a design reference and local parks as field sites for experimentation – working across photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, video and sound.
