Illuminate Adelaide A curated winter festival of art, light, technology and music is set to converge on the City of Adelaide from 16 July to 1 August. ‘Illuminate Adelaide’ will shine on local, national and international collaborators working across various fields of technology-based innovation and creative industry. The festivities will engulf the city streets, laneways and buildings, as well as the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the West End, and Adelaide Zoo, in a dazzling showcase of installations, performances and other art-fuelled events with 41 world premieres in the mix. There is fun to be had by all ages. Highlights include: ‘Light Cycles’, an immersive experience designed to draw audiences into the magical realms of a spectacularly lit night-time forest animated with sound, video and special effects by Montreal-based multimedia crew Moment Factory. Nightly from 6-11pm; ‘City Lights’ will transform the CBD into a marvellous adventure playground with over 40 large-scale installations, dazzling projections and immersive artworks; larger-than-life creatures of the animal kingdom animate in ‘Light Creatures’ at the Zoo; the façade of the Institute Building plays host to ‘Kaylene’s TV’, a luminous projection of Indigenous artist Kaylene Whiskey’s unique and colourful world of desert pop art presented in collaboration with Jackson Lee. British artist Gali May Lucas and Berlin-based sculptor Karoline Hinz invite audiences to join three figures frozen in an eternal scroll on their smartphones in ‘Absorbed by Light’, exploring the phenomena of a world transfixed, unable to look away from the intrigue that exists in our pocket technologies.

FEATURED EXHIBITIONS
Oliver Watts
Sweet is the Swamp By Dr Joseph Brennan
Dr Joseph Brennan speaks with Oliver Watts about the eight works of ‘Sweet is the Swamp’ – fluid and fragmentary paintings soaked in allusion and the symbolism of a key site of Australian significance. ‘The swamp is a strange place between the land and the water,’ Oliver Watts tells me. ‘Sometimes temporary, sometimes permanent – it is a place in a state of flux.’ Drawing together eight large paintings, ‘Sweet is the Swamp’ derives its name from the opening of an Emily Dickinson poem. It takes as its setting the paperbark swamps of Sydney’s Centennial Park – created in the seventies as ‘a misguided attempt to plant a “natural” habitat’. ‘It intrigues me to know if this vision of Sydney was as much due to Nolan and Boyd as it was based on science,’ Watts says. Such historical-artistic intrigue is woven into this show and helped by Watts’ splattered, mosaic-like brushstroke, which has become his signature. Those familiar with Watts’ work might see the seeds of his latest show in earlier highlights – Self Portrait of the Artist as Ozcore Amateur (2016) and his 2018 Paperbark Swamp works, for example, which he confirms served as precursors. ‘About five years ago, I was playing with various tree types in my painting,’ he explains. ‘In the end, the paperbark became a common motif, not least because I think it suited my painting style. The way the bark is layered and peeling away, fragmented and falling apart, seems to lend itself to the daubing mark that I make – almost like a form of camouflage.’ The swamp is also a site soaked in Australian artistic sensibility. ‘It is the quintessential picaresque Australian image,’ Watts says, ‘from Sydney Long to Nolan, from Boyd to Lin Onus. The way Nolan places figures in the water is always so haunting and evocative. As if the only means of escape for the outlaw is through the outskirts of the known, to the uninhabitable space of the waterlogged.’ Swamps are associated with being bogged, which is perhaps why Watts chose to add sweetness to this series. In his words: ‘to make the works as kind and as compassionate as possible.’ There is a sweet serendipity in learning that the figures are his friends – Elle, gallery manager at Chalk Horse, and Camille, an Artbank colleague – and that the female focus was born of their availability-on-the-day that the scenes were staged in Centennial Park; an aspect of the work Watts welcomes following his last two exhibitions, which ‘were centred on masculinity, often in crisis’. Art-historical symbolism remains at the surface throughout, however; from lily pads to Baroque water nymphs and accents of the artist’s present painterly approach – allowing fragmentation to ‘lose the figure against the ground a little more’ compared with earlier work, for example, as was 34

also employed as part of his Eryn Jean Norvill 2021 Archibald entry. The result is a pleasurable ripple of recognition at the point of reception and a sensation of Watts’ swamps in constant flux. ‘Allusions slip and slide over each other,’ he says, ‘leaving it up to the audience to react to what borrowings they see. For example, in The Thorn (2021), the original painting comes from the 19th century and is a Daphnis and Chloe painting, which was the original Blue Lagoon story. By replacing Daphnis with another girl, other allusions are generated.’ 35

‘Bee-stung lips’ is the first major retrospective of artist Barbara Hanrahan’s (1939-1991) 30-year printmaking career. With her feminist views, Hanrahan challenged the role of women and the family in domestic suburbia within the Australian context. She sought to bring women’s issues into the limelight while exploring relationships, identity, literature, spirituality, popular culture and the natural world. The exhibition features a vibrant display of over 150 intricately detailed artworks, including woodcuts, linocuts, screenprints, lithographs, etchings, drypoint, drawings, paintings and collage.

Mavis Phillips (nee Walley) Collection
An extraordinary collection of photographs taken by Mavis Phillips (nee Walley) from the 1930s onwards are on display. Phillips is one of the earliest-known Indigenous photographers who, with a box brownie camera in hand, documented everyday life in her community at Goomalling in Western Australia. These rare and intimate photographs of Noongar life, decades ago, were bequeathed to Phillips’ daughter Dallas Phillips who has curated this exhibition, which includes exhibits, projections and screenings around Perth, and a small display at the State Library.

Traversed Differences ANCA Gallery Until 18 July, 2021 Australian Capital Territory
Through performance, portraiture and representation, Lisa Myeong-Joo, Natalie Tso, Tanaporn Norsrida, and Jana Ortanez – artists of mixed Asian heritage living in Australia, focus on the body as a contested site to consider alternative ways of thinking about self-representation, personal history and cultural hybridity. In each artist’s work, identity, experience, or memory leave a trace on the body; on the skin and face, in gesture and movement, understood through language and felt deep in the bones. The physical experience draws us together as humans irrespective of cultural differences.
Fiona Foley Veiled Paradise
QUT Art Museum Until 29 August, 2021 Queensland
Exploring themes of sex, violence, opium and land, ‘Veiled Paradise’ surveys three decades of Badtjala artist Fiona Foley’s practice. Informed by her ancestral connection to K’Gari/Fraser Island, Foley gives voice to the dispossessed, flipping the lens of ethnography in the restaging of history and events in her artwork. Empowered by her matrilineal lineage, she illuminates the exploitation of Aboriginal women and outs everyday racism and sexism. Curated by Angelina Hurley, ‘Veiled Paradise’ showcases some of Foley’s most iconic works and some of her lesser-seen works are put into the spotlight.

Dr Bancroft says, ‘The Country Cries for Truth – My love of family and Country drives my passion to record and to document the takeover of our Country viewed through my lens as a Mother, Bundjalung artist and writer. The awarding of this Fellowship is an absolute honour, and I am humbled to be the recipient.’ ‘The State Library of NSW welcomes this exciting opportunity to have our collections re-examined and framed by renowned First Nations artist Dr Bronwyn Bancroft, whose work brings complex and contested histories to light and, and through this Fellowship will continue to challenge, delight and inform people throughout NSW, Australia and the world,’ says State Library of NSW’s Manager of Indigenous Engagement Damien Webb. create.nsw.gov.au sl.nsw.gov.au
