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.
We present ourselves to the world to assert and understand our identity; artists take this feeling and give it form. In very different ways the paintings of Genevieve Felix Reynolds and Amber Boardman consider how something meaningful might come from the Internet. Kieran Butler’s photography and drag articulates their non-binary self, whereas Tony Albert’s work challenges the aesthetics of recollection and representation of Indigenous peoples. Drawing on life, Julia deVille’s taxidermy and holograms augment overlooked creatures whilst Ken Unsworth stages tension from the inside out.

Bush Women Fremantle Arts Centre
In 1994 the Fremantle Arts Centre staged a special exhibition of artworks by women from the fresh-water country of north-west Western Australia and the Ngaanyatjarra lands of the south-east. With distinct, original styles and personal narratives about living and growing up in the bush, artists such as Paji Honeychild Yankkarr, Daisy Andrews, Queenie McKenzie (Gara-Gara), Tjapartji Kanytjuri Bates, Tjingapa Davies and Pantjiti Mary McLean took their place in the spotlight of the art world. In 2018 the gallery reassembled the original paintings and produced this title, ‘Bush Women’. It is modest in size and has the sentiment of a ‘yearbook’, sharing first person accounts from the artists, curatorial insights via John Kean as well as reproductions of the works and photographs from the 1990s.
Robert Smithson: Time Crystals MUMA in association with Monash University Publishing ‘Then I looked closer.’ – Robert Smithson
‘Time Crystals’ is the first exhibition in Australia to showcase the works of American artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973), known for his radical land art of the 1960s and early 1970s. Its literary companion, a catalogue comprised of sketches, preparatory drawings, correspondence, photographs and handwritten manuscripts including misspellings, grammatical errors and redacted text, provides personal insight, deepened understanding and a new interpretation of Smithson’s practice. The development of his ideas on nonbiological time and entropy, crystallography, science fiction, geography and geology – as well as redefining models of abstraction and challenging art history in his exploration of medium, location and expression – are explored in essays by Amelia Barikin, Chris McAuliffe and Stephen Melville. 26
Amber Boardman
@jadefad: a social media feed in paint Eleanor Zeichner
On relocating from her home in Brooklyn, New York, to Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Amber Boardman rediscovered her love of paint. She was drawn to its messy materiality, at odds with its fine art tradition. It seemed an apt medium through which to explore another fascination: the aspirational culture of social media. Rapid image making catalysed by quickly changing fads offered a window into a world curated and monetised for mass consumption. Instagram and YouTube are awash with beauty influencers deftly demonstrating the use of various makeup products, ‘elements of paint in everyday life,’ Boardman explains. ‘@jadefad: a social media feed in paint’ explores the transformative qualities of paint in an interwoven narrative that plays out both in the gallery and on Instagram. The series is buoyed with an absurdist sense of humour, mirrored by Boardman’s confident and gestural brushwork. It tells the story of a fictional social media influencer called Jade whose performative self-care includes yoga, spray-tanning and the KonMari method. In @jadefad; Experiencing some middle aged gravity on the yoga mat today :/ #thatprincesshairtho (2017) Jade’s distorted figure, legs and breasts akimbo, is topped with a mane of flowing blonde hair (visible roots notwithstanding). @jadefad: Oh just casually relaxing on my busted vinyl lawn chair. #blondonlawnchair (2016) satirises the faux-casual posturing that belies the carefully art directed Instagram shot. When Jade has the revelation that she is a character made of paint (after a big night on the turpentine cocktails), it opens up the possibility of an even greater performance of self-transformation and the expansion of her influence. There’s a Looney Tunes-esque cartoon logic pervading these works, with the character wrestling the creator for control over her image. As a child Boardman woke up early to cram in cartoons before school, eventually ending up as a commercial animator for Cartoon Network and Comedy Central, skills honed with an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. The work @jadefad: #renovatedpainting Sooooo @amberboardman tried to paint a portrait of me. Then I 32
Tony Albert Visible
Tristen Harwood Tony Albert, a Girramay, Yidinji and Kuku Yalanji descendent, is the youngest artist to have a major solo exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery. ‘Visible’ includes a range of work that illustrates the breadth and rigour of his practice, from object-based assemblages to photography, painting, installation and video. Across Albert’s work there is an assertive engagement with the aesthetics of recollection, representation, and imaginative future rendering. The depth of his practice extends beyond the confines of individual experience (career or personal). It isn’t merely about correcting misrepresentations or returning the gaze; it comprehends the falsity of the entire representational structure operationalised in service of settler-colonialism and poses questions to the settler-grammar that restricts how Aboriginal art is read and written about. For many, his most readily identifiable works are those that encompass compositions of Aboriginal kitsch objects like ashtrays, decorative boomerangs, tea towels, cutlery and other banal objects decorated with caricatures – often racist invocations of ‘noble savages’, ‘pickaninnies’ and so on.

Ken Unsworth Truly, Madly Julian Day
As I sit down with Ken Unsworth and sip coffee on his sun-speckled deck I feel I’ve hit the artworld jackpot. Unsworth’s home nestles Sydney Harbour, yet the white-haired former welder from Melbourne transmits a frugal nonchalance. His waterfront garden defiantly obscures the view with carefully planted native shrubs and he punctuates our chat with homemade veggie stew. Unsworth is one of Australia’s most prolific and uncategorisable artists. Across six decades he has generated a vast body of work incorporating such recurring themes as levitating rocks, automated pianos and cycling skeletons. It echoes minimalism, body art, arte povera and vaudeville in equal measure, yet remains deeply idiosyncratic. Somehow this complex catalogue has been ordered into key themes for a retrospective at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). Surprisingly, it’s Unsworth’s first such show in his birth town. ‘The title is Truly, Madly’ he reveals ‘and it’s been a mad experience.’ The exhibition sprawls across all three levels of the NGV at Federation Square. It mixes older and newer works, including three new commissions, and continues Unsworth’s obsession with ‘the human body, the surrogate body, and the skeletons.’ One work, unites a tattooed angel, a piano and a figure slapping the floor with a cane. Another centres on a 17-foot skeleton with an elongated penis made of blown Plexiglas, surrounded of course by stones. Elsewhere a blackbird persistently pecks at a cast of Unsworth’s body refashioned as St Francis of Assisi. Despite the mystery and symbolism in his work, Unsworth is frank and down to earth in person. He aims to make art every day although at 87 years old admits to ‘slowing down a bit’. Whilst he mostly works out of an old factory building in a nearby suburb, he maintains a small studio at home for ‘sitting and scratching my bottom’ and undertaking ‘my other sin of painting, which I keep very secret.’ The extent of this discreet yet long-standing practice is evident in a new monograph by Anthony Bond in collaboration with ARTAND Foundation that dedicates two of its 12 chapters to drawing and painting. Unsworth’s basement studio reveals his latest such work, an allegorical figurative painting recalling early Arthur Boyd. This side of Unsworth might seem surprising compared to his more epic sculptures, installation and performance art. ‘Drawing is a way of thinking,’ he explains, ‘and of expressing those thoughts and putting them into some sort of form. Drawing’s always been essential to my working life. It becomes like an encyclopedia. In fact I can remember every drawing I’ve ever made. It’s a very fluid, flexible, vital sort of activity. Drawing is contiguous with the body, which is ultimately the key to unlocking Unsworth’s practice. His focus on the body emerged circuitously on a 1971 trip to New York City where he stumbled upon a book about arte povera. ‘I came back to Hobart and started using natural 48

Systematic Plimsoll Gallery 8 September to 14 October, 2018 Tasmania
Three-hundred images are thematically grouped and displayed across ten TV screens in a visually rich, immersive exhibition of photography by Adrian Boddy. These works, gathered over the course of the artist’s career, depict portraiture, architecture, fauna and landscapes such as Hokkaido winters and Antarctic summers, as well as the arid Australian outback and cool coastlines. In their entirety, these captured moments provide a pictorial account of Boddy’s life journey as well as a look into the history of the medium.
Curated by Eliza Burke, ‘Systematic’ showcases a group of Australian artists who engage with the creative potential of systems to critique, re-imagine or re-invent their workings. Across sculpture, installation, photography, generative animation, painting and assemblage, these methodical pieces reflect on human and non-human relationships through the material dynamics of engineered connections and intricate componentry. Concepts of organisation, interrelatedness and connectivity are explored through technology and iterative processes, manipulation of materials and forms of perception, and ecological and political histories of ‘the system’.

THE 1818 PROJECT Newcastle Art Gallery 8 September to 4 November, 2018 New South Wales
No Second Thoughts: Reflections on the Artemis Women’s Art Forum Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery 1 September to 8 December, 2018 Western Australia
‘THE 1818 PROJECT’ deconstructs colonial painting through a contemporary lens. As a springboard to examine cultural histories, identity, and personal stories of migration, loss and diaspora, eight Australian artists create their own narratives in response to original landscape paintings depicting scenes of Newcastle’s Coal River region c.1818, by English convict artist Joseph Lycett (17741825). Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, Shan TurnerCarroll, Dale Collier, Karla Dickens, Fernando do Campo, Lindy Lee, Yhonnie Scarce and Jacqui Stockdale present glass, sculpture, photography, performance, painting, drawing and installation.
Presented by the Cruther’s Collection of Women’s Art, this exhibition of newly commissioned works delivers four artists responses to the Artemis archive which holds correspondence, meeting minutes, exhibition ephemera, artist files and other documentation by the Artemis Women’s Art Forum Inc. (1985-1990), a group who worked towards raising the status of women in the arts. Former Artemis committee members Penny Bovell and Jo Darbyshire, with early career artists Teelah George and Taylor Reudavey examine the history of Western Australian feminist art.

space. Control and surveillance of nature was a prominent feature of French formal gardens, and that is what I intend to explore and respond to in my new work.’ ‘To date, the majority of my work has explored these ideas within the Australian context, so the opportunity to stay in Paris and expand the scope of my research will be hugely beneficial and rewarding,’ she continues.

Couttoupes predominantly works with clay in its vitrified and raw state, with a focus on exploring sociocultural and political ideas that inform our interaction with nature. She explains, ‘In Paris I plan to examine the trope of ‘mastery over nature’ by looking at French formal garden design – such as Versailles – as a socially and culturally symbolic

Curated by Hannah Presley. The first exhibition in the Yalingwa series celebrates the significance of family, community and humour in contemporary Aboriginal life. The exhibition features ten new commissions from artists from south-east Australia and beyond, in an exploration of everyday life and experiences of Aboriginal people today. Country music icons, queer identity, pop-culture and community leadership are referenced, as well as the legacy of ancestors and the importance of coming together to strengthen identity and connection. Yalingwa is a Victorian Government initiative, developed in partnership between Creative Victoria, ACCA and TarraWarra Museum of Art and designed to support outstanding contemporary Indigenous art and curatorial practice. Sept 28 to Nov 25 Eva Rothschild – the 2018 ACCA International exhibition presents a survey of works by Irish-born, London-based artist Eva Rothschild, ahead of her appearance at the 2019 Venice Biennale where she will represent Ireland. Shaped by a myriad of influences from minimal art of the 1960s and 70s to classical architecture, spiritualism and pop-culture, Rothschild has an international reputation for sculptural forms that are both striking and spare, as sharp geometric shapes morph into flamboyant, enigmatic compositions. Presented in association with Melbourne Festival, the exhibition brings together three new sculptural commissions created especially for ACCA’s galleries, alongside recent work spanning the last decade of Rothschild’s diverse yet distinctive practice.
