Art Almanac March 2021
Letter from the Editor In this issue, we explore identity, politics and community. Through photography and costume, Gerwyn Davies fashions digital habitats from altered and enhanced ‘real world’ spaces where camp is applied to the image ‘to create incongruous and queer figures that defy clear classification,’ he tells Dr Joseph Brennan before his exhibition ‘Plush’ at UNSW Galleries in Sydney. ‘The aim is to conceal and partially reveal the self, concurrently, as ‘a mutual invitation and denial’ to the viewer,’ writes Brennan. The exhibitions and events in this issue examine our individual and collective experiences of the world, now. George Gittoes’ new suite of paintings enable us to ‘see the realities of our current world, and to then find the conditions of forming hope in the future,’ says Dr Rod Pattenden in his preview of Gittoes’ show ‘Augustus Tower’ at Mitchell Fine Art in Brisbane. While John Feitelson writes about the emotional value of an art auction and reveals the secret to Lucio’s recipe is community. Melissa Peša We acknowledge and pay our respects to the many Aboriginal nations across this land, traditional custodians, Elders past and present; in particular the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land on which we work.

ART NEWS
HE | SHE | THEY The ‘Bunbury Biennale’ showcases cutting-edge contemporary art from Western Australia; and, as an acquisitive award exhibition, provides an opportunity for the City of Bunbury to secure new works to expand and diversify the existing City Art Collection. The 2021 iteration, for the first time in its 28-year history, invited artists to explore a theme: HE | SHE | THEY. ‘HE | SHE | THEY’ is a journey into gender identity with 37 WA artists exploring notions of inclusion and diversity, celebrating the heterogeneity of gender within Western Australian culture and community. Occupying the two largest exhibition spaces at the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery, the ‘Bunbury Biennale’ 2021 will run from 6 March to 7 June, hosting an exciting program of events, artist talks and workshops – a fantastic opportunity to connect with the exhibition in new ways and learn from the artists themselves. The official opening will be held on Saturday 6 March from 6pm and the ticketed Bunbury Biennale Hangover Breakfast the following morning at 10.30am. Artists include Carla Adams, Vicki Ames, Benjamin Bannan, Nathan Beard, Christophe Canato, David Carson, Janet Carter, Olga Cironis, Elaine Clocherty, Penny Coss, Mel Dare, Annette Davis, Nikita Dunovits-Ferrier, Stuart Elliott, Tania Ferrier, Dan Gladden, Brent Harrison, Catherine Higham, Pablo Hughes, Sam Huxtable, Matthew Jackson, Elisa Markes-Young, Vahri McKenzie, Britt Mikkelsen, Andrew Nicholls, Ron Nyisztor, Annette Peterson, Lex Randolph, Rizzy, Susan Roux, Helen Seiver, Sue Starcken, Wade Taylor, Tony Windberg, Michael Wise, Gera Woltjer, and Christopher Young. brag.org.au Christophe Canato, ANIMA #1, ‘ANIMA’ series, 2020, digital photograph, fine art paper, 110 x 110cm Courtesy the artist and Bunbury Regional Art Gallery, Western Australia

ART AUCTION
Location, Location and Provenance Lucio’s Auction By John Feitelson
What is art worth? Often value can be attributed to provenance; that is to say, who owned the artwork in the past, whether that be the auction houses, dealers and galleries that sold the item, or the institutional and private collections that housed it. Or, one of Sydney’s most venerable culinary and dining institutions: Lucio’s Italian Restaurant. For almost 40 years Lucio’s has been Paddington’s salon carré; decorating its walls with artwork by leading contemporary Australian artists, including John Olsen, John Coburn, Elisabeth Cummings, Tim Storrier, Michael Johnson, John Beard, Hilarie Mais, Fred Cress, Salvatore Zofrea, Ann Thomson, Martin Sharp, Garry Shead, Charles Blackman, Steve Lopes, Colin Lanceley, Ken Johnson, Imants Tillers, Margaret Woodward, Sandra Levinson, Robert Juniper, David Larwill, Euan Macleod, Jason Benjamin, Andrew Taylor, and Luke Sciberras. Collecting can be instinctive or acquired behaviour; rational or manic activity rooted in mixed desires: want, need, fascination. For owners Lucio and Sally Galletto, the hunger began in 1984 with a single sketch on a table docket, depicting Ned Kelly and drawn by none other than Sidney Nolan himself. Lucio, incredibly thankful, framed the drawing and hung it on the wall; the appetizer of what will eventually become a feast of tableside sketches, paintings, ceramics and sculptures; both gifted and purchased. Great hospitality and great art went hand in hand. ‘The combination of great food, great service and great art on the walls is, in my view, one of the best dining experiences you can imagine,’ says Lucio. No doubt, loyal customers and the odd international celebrity diner, including George Harrison, Al Pacino and José Carreras, would agree.

With the aroma of celebrity filling the air, Lucio’s collection will be of great interest to potential new buyers and seasoned art collectors of Australian art. More so, broad public recognition of Lucio’s as a staple ingredient in the country’s art scene value the restaurant, and its art collection, as priceless.
FEATURED EXHIBITIONS
George Gittoes Augustus Tower By Dr Rod Pattenden
Visualising History and the Terror of Now! George Gittoes, exhibiting at Mitchell Fine Art, attempts to take on this time in history in vibrant and challenging new paintings. George Gittoes, artist and filmmaker has his eye on the world. Rather than retire to the COVID-led comfort of studio isolation, Gittoes has with new vigour sought to address the difficult conditions of being human during these times of widespread anxiety around world politics, climate change, and the lack of moral leadership. In this new body of work, such big themes appear not as concepts, but as visceral creatures, fleshy, under states of transformation, morphing into insects or grotesque creatures. In peering into this theatre of shock we face the greater disturbance of recognising it as the conditions of our present world, and that we are utterly at home in it.

WHAT’S ON NEAR ME
The Past is the Present is the Future
On Fire: Climate and Crisis
Granville Centre Art Gallery Until 9 May, 2021 Sydney
Institute of Modern Art Until 20 March, 2021 Queensland
‘The Past is the Present is the Future’, curated by Talia Smith, features works by photographic and moving image artists inspired by Aotearoa writer Patricia Grace’s (Ngāti Toa, Ngāti Raukawa and Te Āti Awa) novel Potiki, who suggests that time is the embodiment of an ancestral past and a speculative future. Drawing on their own cultural heritage the artists reflect on experiences of alienation in new homelands, longing for motherland, ancestral homelands through the eyes of a mother, and the exoticised muse within Bali’s art canon.
‘We are truly a species touched by fire’ – Stephen J. Pyne, Fire: A Brief History One year on from the devastating 2019-20 bushfire season, the works of 15 artists frame an understanding of what fire historian Stephen J. Pyne describes as the Pyrocene – a new, incendiary era; and engage with closely related themes of global warming and climate threat in Queensland. Curated by Tim Riley Walsh, the exhibition considers the damaging legacies of colonialism, depictions of (dis)connection with the environment and fire’s capacity for rejuvenation.

Lisa Sewards
Between Us
SHORT STORIES
Clare Thackway explores space between bodies with a series of figurative paintings in the exhibition ‘Between Us’. In the context of a global pandemic, Thackway’s use of colour and light, drapery and stripes, are symbolic contemplations used to evoke notions of intimacy and distance, freedom and confinement, anxiety. And although the identity of each subject is obscured from view and the figures are posed in a vulnerable state, we can feel a sense of empathy and understanding in the works.
Inspired by the creative storytelling ways of writers whose books and stories she read during Melbourne lockdown, Lisa Sewards’ new body of work titled ‘SHORT STORIES’ celebrates short Australian literary works with reflection on the combined power of literature and visual art as messenger. Sewards presents works on paper, mainly etchings and small oil paintings, alongside her own personal vintage typewriter. Short story books will be available to read in the gallery. ‘SHORT STORIES’ is supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Graphic Art Mount By Sebastian Henry-Jones For years, Sydney’s Graphic Art Mount have set the standard for Australian fine art mounting, framing and exhibition display. Here we find that the secrets to their longevity go far beyond talent and dedication to their craft. Framing an artwork properly is no straightforward task. To strike a balance between the aesthetic wishes of an artist and the imperative of protecting their creation requires trust, and a nuanced understanding of the depth and breadth of artistic production itself. These can only be formed over years of experience. Since opening in 1997, Tugi and Dianna Balog of Graphic Art Mount have built a reputation for themselves as one of the best in the business; counting public institutions, eminent galleries, Biennales, and high-profile artists and collectors among their clientele. The workshop – located in Sydney’s Inner West – excels in custom mounting, framing and exhibition display; of photographic prints, paintings, works on paper and any object in between. Many of these services have been refined over time by consulting with artists, conservators, suppliers and industry leaders regarding the needs of artists, their creations, and the changing requirements of the spaces in which these are displayed. Accordingly, the Graphic Art Mount studio provides its skilled staff with the materials, resources, knowledge and support necessary to work to a consistently high standard, operating with creativity and innovation at the forefront of their minds. While trends in artmaking and exhibition display continue to change, Tugi notes the marked improvement in universal standards of art conservation, framing, transportation and storage, since he first started out in his garage. Notably, many private and commercial enterprises now endeavour to work to the same high standards as publicly funded museums and institutions. Graphic Art Mount’s attitude towards learning as an everlasting process, and a commitment to updating their methods in accordance with evolving standards, means they have remained sensitive to new developments. As important as maintaining excellent standards, an emphasis on fostering long-lasting relationships forms the core of Graphic Art Mount’s holistic approach to business. Word of mouth remains the principal way they grow their client base. Even now, most come to the workshop as they have used their services previously, or have been referred by someone in the

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! Rockhampton Art Gallery receives a Gordon Darling Foundation grant
Rockhampton Art Gallery has received funds from the Gordon Darling Foundation to assist with the design and publication of a catalogue for a major exhibition showcasing the work of acclaimed Australian artist Luke Roberts in 2022.
Wunderkammer, and appearances by his performance persona Her Divine Holiness Pope Alice, Roberts deconstructs our understanding of the outback, Catholicism, history, gender and extraterrestrials. The exhibition will bring Roberts’ childhood experiences in the Central Queensland town of Alpha where he was born together with reflections on 19th century watercolourist Harriet Jane Neville-Rolfe, and Saint Mary MacKillop’s Josephite sisters, who have associations with his hometown. The exhibition is supported through the Queensland Government’s Arts Showcase program. Round 3 applications close 14 March. Round 4 is open 1 to 30 May. The catalogue promises a richly illustrated compendium including an interview with the artist, written works from Rockhampton Museum of Art Director Bianca Acimovic and Curator Tess Maunder, exhibition curator Michele Helmrich, and independent writer, curator and broadcaster Julie Ewington. ‘The catalogue, such a significant component in an exhibitions development, will offer audiences fresh research and insights into the artist’s work and its context, and will provide a valuable document that will last long after the exhibition,’ says Helmrich. Rockhampton Art Gallery is currently closed for the move to Rockhampton Museum of Art in late 2021. Stay up to date with the exciting new program via the website. rockhamptonartgallery.com.au
