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.

Force of feeling sweeps through this issue; whether that be connection and companionship with animals, the powerful magnetism created when concept and material collide, a metaphysical reality conjured by art from the heart or the transformative ‘act of doing’ that underscores performance work.

Our writers canvas this idea around Australia, from Brisbane’s ‘The Abyss’ to ‘Wirrimanu: Art from Balgo’ on view at Art Gallery of New South Wales, in Melbourne we enjoy ‘Pets are people too’ and Sydney is the first to experience Mel O’Callaghan’s touring show ‘Centre of the Centre’ at Artspace.

On Artists Ashleigh Wilson

Melbourne University Press

About a third of the way into his essay ‘On Artists’ Ashleigh Wilson is deep in a list of the nefarious, violent and predatory acts of, mostly male, famous visual artists, actors, musicians and poets from the Renaissance to today. Then, he asks ‘how much weight should we give to the life when decoding the mysteries of the art?’ The author toggles between these charges and the achievements of each individual, drawing out how evil and excellence co-exist, and considers the dilemma of presenting the artistic output to the public. Do we erase, boycott or display with context – risking a perpetuation of misogyny and further harm to survivors? Wilson concludes ‘we can’t ignore the artist, but that doesn’t mean we have to forgive them either.’

Suburban Baroque David Waddleton M.33

Melbourne-based photographer David Waddleton presents a new series of work in ‘Suburban Baroque’. This book acts as a portal through time, transporting the viewer into intimate dwellings of post-war working-class immigrants in Melbourne whose homes were decorated in a mid-century modern version of the European Baroque style of décor and design.

Waddleton’s photographs depict interiors drenched in bold floral and geometric pattern in shades of green, gold, brown and orange under the ambient glow of chandelier and pendant lighting often surrounded by kitsch artworks, objects and religious icons capturing times passed yet the sense of pride in culture and heritage remains. ‘This is a salvage operation brought to a book. This is a book of reminders,’ says writer and artist Patrick Pound.

Mel O’Callaghan Centre of the Centre Emma-Kate Wilson

‘Centre of the Centre’ by Mel O’Callaghan is a large black box installation with her new video work spanning a 16 metre-long wall at Artspace, Sydney. A dedicated performance space with glass sculptural pieces will be inhabited by O’Callaghan and a team of ‘mediators’ who will push the performers into a trance state, testing the limitations of the human condition.

The glass sculptures are designed to amplify sound, made from a blend of metal and glass, which increases the resonance in the space. O’Callaghan shares, ‘it’s quite disorienting, as the performers are breathing, and hyperventilating, they also lose time.’ She adds, ‘the exhilaration was apparent within the performers, but I also saw that as a group, they formed a bond – outside of a group that sees each other every day.’

The work was inspired by the Orang-Sungai, an Indigenous group in Borneo, who collect bird’s nests by climbing up bamboo ladders 40–60 metres high. O’Callaghan couldn’t believe that they would climb these dizzying heights just for monetary value. After being invited to film the process, she realised, ‘the men put themselves under these very highly charged physical positions, it’s an endurance work… I witnessed them entering trance states and using ritual chanting.’

This theory was reflected in the studies of Felicitas Goodman, who had looked at ‘altered state of consciousness’ (ASC). Goodman had wanted to uncover the effects trances and rituals can have on the body. She had trialled the experiment on students, in the 1970s, and put their bodies in

Marisa Ho Mother is She

Ladder Art Space Until 21 September, 2019 Melbourne

Marisa Ho presents a profoundly personal selfportrait in her exploration of Motherhood and the discovery of this new identity through still life, portraiture and performative photography in ‘Mother is She’.

‘This series is an expression of my feeling of loss of identity, and the sense of disquiet with the new identity that has been reassigned to me,’ says Ho. ‘This work captures the entangled mix of love, suffocation, connection, isolation, the loss of identity, and the general madness of my Motherhood.’

They Shield Us Koorie Heritage Trust Until 29 September, 2019 Melbourne From emu feather skirts and headbands to possum skin cloaks and kangaroo tooth necklaces, the Koorie Heritage Trust Collection includes a wide range of contemporary and historic wearables; each woven, stitched, painted and sewn with cultural narrative. ‘They Shield Us’ draws on this body of items, on display with newly commissioned works and an immersive wallpaper installation of models wearing works of both past and new; demonstrating how acts of creating, sharing and wearing shape the identities of First Nation women.

Ken Unsworth

Sally Anderson

Maquettes and Small Sculptures

Blue You Sea Sky

Despite their minimal forms, Ken Unsworth’s maquettes and small sculptures – introduced into the artist’s oeuvre in the early 1970s – are conceptually complex objects; precariously propped, suspended, and on the fringe of calamity. These key themes of gravity, balance and apparent instability were prominent in Unsworth’s practice at the time, particularly his performance pieces of which documented photographs and video as well as a number of his kinetic installations are on display in this exhibition curated by Anthony Bond AOM.

Sydney-based artist Sally Anderson’s current exhibition ‘Blue You Sea Sky’ entrusts the colour blue to express meaning and reflect on past and present experiences of domestic life, the sea, motherhood, childhood, relationships and memory.

Edwina Corlette Gallery Until 18 September, 2019 Queensland

The paintings ‘deliberately dance between abstraction and representation, gesture and form,’ says Anderson while also noting ‘the still life elements housed within paintings act as souvenirs. They hold experience and speak of apologetic gesture, celebration and days of birth.’

Immerse Art in unexpected Places City of Knox 1 to 29 September, 2019 Melbourne

George Egerton-Warburton Heide Museum of Modern Art Until 20 October, 2019 Melbourne

Artworks in unusual places will be popping up across the City of Knox at Wantirna from September 7, Bayswater on the 14th and on the 21st in Ferntree Gully, with an energetic showcase of sculpture, performance, photography, painting, installations and murals by 44 artists. Among the exhibitions, talks and events is Jasmine Targett’s three-part spatial artwork ‘Vision Quest: A Portal Opens’, which explores how giving ourselves over to the natural environment opens the mind and dissolves the boundary between nature and self.

In this first major institutional show for George Egerton-Warburton, we find new paintings and photo-based assemblages and sculptures, which encircle the individual’s relationship to power. A particular focus for Egerton-Warburton is the impact of latecapitalism and its imposition of ‘inequality, exclusion, precarious employment and work stripped of meaning.’ The artist pursues these dark topics with wit, drawing parallels with truffle hunting to the human rat race, and linking the aesthetic of infirmaries to what he perceives as cultural ill-health.

Artist Opportunities We have selected a few galleries and funding bodies calling for submissions for Art Awards, Artist Engagements, Grants, Public Art, Residency Programs, Exhibition Proposals and more.

Enjoy and good luck!

BRUNY20

Bruny Island Foundation for the Arts (BIFFA) has announced a new $75,000 Fellowship Program ‘BRUNY2020’, which will run next year between June and August. Three artists will be awarded a fellowship to participate in a residency for the development, creation and delivery of a new body of work in response to the theme of ‘identity and environment’.

The artists will undertake research and fieldwork on the island as part of the program, and will return to Bruny in December 2020 to showcase their exhibition and/or performance work.

This new partnership between the BIFFA and brunyisland.com.au will offer valuable support and development for Australian artists working across artistic disciplines including the visual arts, music, writing, performance, film-making and inter-disciplinary fields. brunyisland.com.au is an organisation committed to caring for and preserving the natural environment of Bruny Island, situated off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania.

Dr Caroline Rannersberger, Creative Director of BRUNY20 and a director of the Foundation, notes Bruny Island provides the ideal location for artists to respond to the brief, ‘We are delighted to offer artists the space and means to work in a dedicated and supportive environment over a period of six months, and in doing so, to help them develop and deliver a new body of work in response to their month of fieldwork and research,’ she said.

Entries for BRUNY20 are open now and applications close on Thursday 31 October. At least one of the three artists selected will be Tasmanian-based. brunyislandfoundation.com

Sept 14 to Nov 17, 2019 The ACCA International, Haroon Mirza: The Construction of an Act. The annual ACCA International brings to Melbourne an artist at a pivotal point in their career, often presenting to Australian audiences for the first time. This is the first solo exhibition in Australia by acclaimed London-based artist Haroon Mirza, which brings new commissions into dialogue with representations of the artist’s recent work. Mirza’s practice, encompassing sculptural assemblage, immersive installation and live performance, has its origins in music; in the rhythm, syncopation and sampling techniques informed by the artist’s early experience as a DJ. For The Construction of an Act, presented with Melbourne International Arts Festival, Mirza will consider ACCA’s vast architecture as a reverberation chamber in which a disparate body of works come together to form a conceptual and sonic whole. For this new commission Mirza has constructed a residency studio within the gallery, as a space for local and international collaborators to undertake week-long residencies, culminating in a live performance within the exhibition. Live performance: Oct 8, 6.30pm, with collaborators – Australian composer-performer James Rushford; award-winning London-based dance artist and choreographer Julie Cunningham; and Australianborn, London-based soprano Jessica Aszodi.
