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.
‘People power’ underscores the approaches and exhibitions in this issue. Of course artists need an audience, but community and collaboration is also critical to its development. Elizabeth Kelly meets experts outside of her discipline, Keg de Souza’s installation doubles as an educational realm, Khaled Sababi is an advocate for the universality of daily life and Eric Bridgeman drew his family into a transformative art experiment. The women in ‘So Fine’ have been inspired by history and Yalingwa’s inaugural show puts happiness first.

Future/Forward: artistic courage On 15 and 16 August, over 200 artists, arts leaders, philanthropists, government advisers and political decision makers will converge on the National Gallery of Australia and Parliament House, Canberra to participate in ‘Future/Forward’. This two-day event presented by National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) aims to facilitate visual artists’ thinking on how best to advance rights, sustain incomes and develop arts practice in Australia today. Hypotheticals, scenarios, games and case studies are highlights of the event with the first day’s focus on institutional aspects of professional practice, while day two discusses politics and policy change.

The Artful Mum Rachel Moodie
Darling Mills Studio
Rachel Moodie invited six fellow artists (who are also mothers) to share their experience of creativity postpartum. ‘The Artful Mum’ was conceived to offer moments of inspiration for Moodie after her second child was born, a need that will no doubt resonate with others. Each interview offers personal insights as well as reproductions of the women’s textiles, photography, painting and works on paper. The uplifting discussions about timemanagement and a positive sense of self are a helpful touchstone, not only for creatives, but anyone who is interested in the inevitability of change in life and how to thrive as a result. As Bianca Harrington enthuses ‘Be kind to yourself and don’t give up.’
Conversation Piece frontyard projects
Over four days at the 2017 Hobiennale the team behind frontyard finished a book project about conversations in Hobart, inspired by the dialogues that occur at their home-base in Marrickville, Sydney. Appropriately, from a self-described ‘Not-Only-Artist-Run-Initiative’, the topic of ‘conversations’ is hard to pin down to one discipline. Instead frontyard assembles photos, texts and design elements that consider place, symbolism (digital and organic) and our temporal space. On page 18 an image reads ‘Start a Looping Narrative, Start Anywhere’, and following that we learn about Purslane seeds and a migration story, an interview with Ruth Mollison of St Johns Community Orchard and pages of chat in Slack (a real-time messaging program). ‘Conversation Piece’ is self-conscious about the ubiquity and power of story telling.

A Lightness of Spirit is the Measure of Happiness Rose Vickers Hannah Presley and I discuss Indigenous Australian art. It’s a balance of infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge. Not far into the conversation I feel a part of something new, yet also along for the ride. Presley’s passion for her field is contagious; it’s a rapid-fire, dry-witted, bridging discussion that crosses expansive geographical and conceptual territory. It touches on the art market, histories of Indigenous dispossession and ceramic budgies. She assures me that budgerigars will appear in the upcoming exhibition ‘A Lightness of Sprit is the Measure of Happiness’ for the Yalingwa project, her first initiative as inaugural curator at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA). It’s also the first major iteration of a new, state-governmentfunded, six-year program that partners ACCA, TarraWarra Museum of Art and Creative Victoria. The exhibition showcases South East Australia’s most prominent Indigenous artists and coincides with the Melbourne Art Fair. ‘Artists are important to telling our historical stories,’ explains Presley. ‘Heavy histories of massacre and dispossession are important and we Aboriginal people live with them every day. I wanted a show that is a bit more celebratory. I feel today, there are enough people talking about important issues for me to be able to step back and focus on humour, community and everyday life; to step away from that responsibility to always be educational.’ This is encouraging. In the late 1980s, Utopia’s Aboriginal people in Central Australia started putting acrylic paint on canvas. For years afterward, Australian Indigenous was one of the

Khaled Sabsabi A Self Portrait Melissa Pesa
In the 1970s, a sub-culture ascended from the embattled streets of the Bronx, New York – hip-hop. It’s stylised rhythmic beats lapped by opinionated vocals, reflecting the extreme social realities of urban culture on a universal scale. Attaining popularity in the 1980s, this musical art form offered freedom of thought, expression and demonstration; built on the notion of the open society it was not defined by a fixed moral or cultural code. Keeping ‘it real’!
An explosion of rap culture in Western Sydney during the 1990s gave rise to a number of artists who extended this musical platform into new mediums. Khaled Sabsabi was among them. Forced to leave Lebanon in the late 1970s due to civil war, Sabsabi and his family found refuge in Western Sydney. Informed by lived experiences and the black civil rights movement in the United States, he began his creative life as a self-described ‘socially-engaged hip-hop performer’ in the mid-80s. Not a purest to form or medium, he made the natural progression to visual art, voicing his personal views on the complexities of place, displacement, identity, and ideological disparities associated with migrant experiences and marginalisation – issues that became prominent on his return to Lebanon in 2003. A re-engagement with the region and its people allowed the artist’s practice to traverse mediums, borders, cultures and disciplines to create site-specific installations, sound art and photography that challenge extreme principles and actions and demand social change and commonality. ‘I make work that is in continual transfer from the local to the global, from the physical to the philosophical and back again, to interconnect the interrelatedness and cycles of daily life,’ says the artist. 35
Elizabeth Kelly Macrocosmia Chloe Mandryk
Elizabeth Kelly’s name in glass is synonymous with the tags of ‘architecture’ and ‘geometry’. For the past decade Kelly has investigated organic microscopic structures including viruses and cellular life forms. ‘Macrocosmia’ is a solo exhibition that features three larger than life sculptures that refer to microcosmic architecture. For each, the artist has incorporated an internal frame crafted by a 3D printer, this is necessary because of the heft of the glass; each piece weighs in at about 100kg. But, there is more than technology in aid of these new creations, she has also benefitted from collaboration with Dr Ralph Sutherland, a theoretical astrophysicist from the Australian National University, Canberra and architect Paul Barnett. On the development of her practice, she shared ‘It feels like there was a great deal of research in the first 15 years which has then manifest in the last 15 years with what I’d say is a much more mature body of work in terms of sculptural intent.’ Is there a hierarchy for you between form and material? Do you consider yourself a glass artist or sculptor? First and foremost I am an artist. I term myself a ‘glass-maker’ and primarily I’m an artist whose concerns are about sculpture. Because my work is research driven, I learnt the craft first of all and then went into art practice.

From Will to Form
Continental Drift
TarraWarra Biennial
Black/Blak Art from South Africa and north Australia
TarraWarra Museum of Art 3 August to 6 November, 2018 Melbourne
Cairns Art Gallery Until 23 September, 2018 Queensland
Emily Cormack curates the seventh ‘TarraWarra Biennial’ suggesting that art is a conduit for energies rather than a mode of reproduction. Contemporary sculpture, painting, installation and performance, will represent an ‘overflow’ in a ‘socio-political context of conservatism and restraint’ says Cormack. Dale Harding contributes a new site-specific work and others such as Claire Lambe, Lindy Lee and Starlie Geikie with their divergent practices, demonstrate how will is found in materiality or in a nexus of objects and gestures.
‘Continental Drift’ looks at race and representation within the context of global black art and culture. Artists from north Australia and South Africa challenge the narrative of colonisation of these two continents. Through their shared but differing stories they explore how black/blak personhood has been shaped by it.

Jacobus Capone
Shirley Macnamara
Double Enigma
Layered threads
Jacobus Capone’s first solo exhibition in Hobart features multi and single-channel video works as well as new large format photographs, objects and artefacts which represent two-years of investigation, durational performances and invocation of the landscape which embrace geological time and confront ecological grief. Capone took water from a glacial lake in Tasmania, boiled it down to a droplet and then displaced the water 78 degrees north in the arctic. The process was reversed with a droplet from an ice-cave ‘released’ in Tasmania.
Shirley Macnamara, of the IndjalandjiDhidhanu people, Queensland and Alyawarr people, Northern Territory, presents woven fibre works in ‘Layered Threads’. Working with spinifex, emu feathers, bone and ochre, Macnamara draws focus to the environment, and her people’s histories including Aboriginal military service. The exhibition features a centrepiece described by Macnamara as ‘a landscape of spinifex rings’, and photographs she took of the spinifex landscape and its wildlife. The artist will also undertake a residency at the Museum assisted by Copyright Agency Cultural Fund.
