Art Almanac May 2021
Letter from the Editor This May, we explore the in-between; steered by Gunditjmara woman and Melbourne-based artist Hayley Millar Baker’s Untitled (Taming) (2019), our cover image. The work is from the series ‘The trees have no tongues’, which deals with the relocation and restriction of Indigenous peoples and their culture and the irreparable trauma that lingers to and from each generation. The following pages consider the intermediary stages of time, memory, and place, including identity and the natural environment that allows for contemplation, appreciation, and self-discovery. Also, Art Almanac revisits some of last year’s responses to ‘Looking Ahead’ by arts workers that showed the uncertainty, vulnerability, and angst felt during such an unprecedented time, inviting them to express how their creative focus has transitioned from one year to the next.

Making a mark In April, artist Guy Warren reached a centenarian milestone, celebrating his 100th birthday; and to mark the occasion and honour a lifetime of creativity, the National Art School (NAS) in Sydney presents an exhibition of 100 drawings by the esteemed artist and NAS alumnus and fellow. Curated by Deborah Beck, ‘From the Mountain to the Sky: Guy Warren Drawings’ covers the length and breadth of the artist’s career, from sketching fellow soldiers in the jungles of Papua New Guinea to creating a vast, ephemeral artwork in the sky over Sydney, on show until 22 May in the new Drawing Gallery. ‘I still find it fascinating to have a sheet of paper in front of me and put a mark on it,’ says Warren, who has been making art for 85 years and continues to contribute to visual culture in Australia today. nas.edu.au Icarus and the Mountain, 1995, ink and acrylic on canvas, 299 × 204cm Photograph: Peter Morgan Courtesy the artist and NAS Drawing Gallery, Sydney

HOTA, Home of the Arts HOTA, Home of the Arts is the new heart of the Gold Coast; a thriving cultural precinct sitting on the banks of the Nerang River, presenting live music, theatre, dance, comedy, opera, kids’ shows, art, and cinema from local, national and international artists and companies, from 8 May forward. The $399 million cultural precinct’s centrepiece is the $60.5 million HOTA Gallery (formerly Gold Coast City Gallery). Described as Australia’s largest public gallery outside a capital city, HOTA Gallery spans six levels and presents a dynamic program of world premiere international exhibitions, Australian exclusives, and new commissions, celebrating national and international artists. William Robinson’s painting, The Rainforest (1990), is the source of inspiration for both the architectural design and future gallery programming: a trailblazer full of wonder and creation; an unfolding experience of viewpoints and discoveries that challenge us to dig deeper and get lost in creative ideas. Designed by awardwinning Melbournebased architects ARM, the new gallery, led by Criena Gehrke (CEO of HOTA Cultural Precinct) and Tracy Cooper Lavery (Director HOTA Gallery), has the capacity to display touring exhibitions of international size and scale alongside exhibition spaces for the City Collection and smaller temporary exhibitions, a dedicated Children’s Gallery and almost 1,000m2 to house the $32 million City Collection, consisting of more than 4,400 artworks (including Robinson’s painting, and one of the largest collections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art in regional Australia; as well as many significant works of art that reflect key developments in recent Australian art, including abstraction, feminist art, ceramics and 21st-century photography).

Rising Melbourne sees the inauguration of ‘RISING’, a new annual arts festival from 26 May to 6 June. In the midst of the crisis in 2020, a call to artists invited ideas for works of a revolutionary nature. ‘Whether these respond to the times or reach beyond them, we invite ideas that are radical and critical; ideas that are absurd and bombastic; ideas that are contemplative and philosophical; and ideas that are celebratory and unifying,’ Co-Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek said. Presentations include ‘Golden Square’ showcasing large-scale building projections, murals and melting columns of frozen lake water, and Indigenous artists Maree Clark and Mitch Mahoney manifest the Spirit Eel with a projection on the façade of Hamer Hall titled Ancestral Memory, as well as music, performance, ceremonial events, and more. rising.melbourne Maree Clarke, Ancestral Memory, 2019, blown and coldworked glass and steel Courtesy the artist and Canberra Glassworks, Australian Capital Territory

Skirts The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia’s (MCA) C3West initiative brings together artists, businesses, government partners and arts organisations to create projects that give voice to community issues, focusing on Western Sydney. Curated by MCA Senior Curator, C3West, Pedro de Almeida, this year’s program, ‘Skirts’, examines issues around women’s safety in the suburb of Kingswood. Working with Western Sydney-based artist Linda Brescia whose multi-disciplinary practice investigates the banalities and complexities of everyday life experiences and rituals, ‘Skirts’ brings women from Kingswood and surrounding suburbs together to demonstrate the power of collective voices; where seeds of positive change can emerge, standing up against gendered expectations, ageism, violence against women, and the barriers that can come between individual lives and community wellbeing. A collaboration with Penrith City Council, ‘Skirts’ seeks to address concerns around public amenities, community safety and connection with a focus on women’s needs and wants. Since September 2020, Brescia has engaged with a diverse group of women every week, facilitating several workshops and creating a safe space for creativity and dialogue. Working with writer Felicity Castagna alongside Brescia, the Skirts have devised a manifesto – a public declaration combining poetic, personal observations of women’s daily experiences and desires with a list of actions. Artworks and activations for ‘Skirts’ will take place at Wainwright Park, 19 Bringelly Road, Kingswood, NSW from Sunday 30 May through to September. ‘Skirts aren’t for sissies. Let’s skirt the shirtfronters. Make a beeline to the a-line.’ – Linda Brescia mca.com.au/artists-works/c3west 23

Make or Break, 2019 Courtesy the artists
Make or Break Sydney-based artists Connie Anthes and Rebecca Gallo, also known as Make or Break, are passionate about exposing the role and visibility of labour, process and the artist/audience relationship in ways that question and challenge the social and political systems that surround us. For ‘The Department of Non-Human Resources’, on view at Lismore Regional Gallery in New South Wales until 6 June, the artists invite us into a space of speculation, collective thinking, research, conversation and hands-on activity that question the sustainability and sustainment we face in an uncertain future. The exhibition space will change and adapt as the artists’ work on a series of storytelling and prototyping activities with the local community working, living and experimenting in related ways, subjecting the Gallery to a collective rethinking, examining its relationship to consumption, waste, knowledge-production, cycles of nature and community. Public programs include the DONHR reading group, hosted by Make or Break, which explore a wide range of texts on sustainability, community and speculative futures, held every Thursday from 5-6pm in the Gallery or online. Texts will range from theory and non-fiction to kids’ stories, sci-fi and futurism, with recommendations sourced from within the Lismore community. Be part of the Re-wilding planting session where Make or Break, in collaboration with New Choices, have planted native grasses in planter boxes for harvesting and use as weaving material during the exhibition. All ages welcome. lismoregallery.org 25
BOOK REVIEW
Unfinished Business: The Art of Gordon Bennett Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art
Reviewed by Jeremy Eccles The late Gordon Bennett (1955-2014) leapt fully formed from his Brisbane art school in his 30s; having been shocked by his mid-teens discovery of his Aboriginal ancestry, he left school to become a Telstra linesman and only belatedly decided to become an artist. Within a few years he had won the Moet & Chandon Fellowship, appeared on the cover of Bernard Smith’s ‘Australian Painting’, had been selected for the Havana Biennial, and was sent by the Department of Foreign Affairs to South Korea representing Australia in a group show. No wonder he was recognised as ‘the first artist to explore our Indigenous past using conceptual art techniques... kicking the door open for artists such as Brook Andrew, Tony Albert and Danie Mellor’ in a Sydney Morning Herald obituary in 2014. By 1999, Bennett had a solo exhibition at Queensland Art Gallery which toured Europe, and featured in a show curated by Zara Stanhope at Heide Museum of Modern Art in 2004. So, with plenty of experience about, it’s interesting that this catalogue, which accompanied the recent survey, ‘Unfinished Business: The Art of Gordon Bennett’, at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, takes a deep academic dive into the ideas behind works that appropriate widely from art history – Malevich, McCahon, Pollock and most famously, Jean-Michel Basquiat – and only marginally communicates a real enthusiasm for Bennett’s powerful imagery as a whole. An exception is his friend and Assistant Director, Learning and Public Engagement, QAGOMA, Simon Wright’s personal take, admitting that ‘some of his most famous paintings’ were made as that art history was first experienced, during his 1991 Moet & Chandon residence in Europe. It was then that Bennett appropriated from traditional First Nations art – especially the dotting of the Deserts and, unnoted, the Wandjina headdresses that often surround his portraits. Thus, it’s odd that there’s no Aboriginal examination of this aspect of his work, especially as Bennett refused to allow his work to be placed in the Indigenous section of State galleries. Challengingly, Stanhope interprets the concentric desert roundels in Bennett’s Haptic Painting (1993) as ‘contentious symbols of his ‘self’ and European culture’. However, an alternative would be that Bennett’s explorer, drowning in a sea of sand, is actually reaching for the classic image of a waterhole. Bennett himself was a reluctant commentator. So, the most intriguing aspect of the catalogue is the frequent use of the artist’s preparatory notes for works as intuition into the finished product. He may even have intended such usage because all seem to be signed. But to see his 1991/92 Colin McCahon borrowing, ‘I am’ beside one of his typical lists – which often transferred on to his canvases: “I am Australian; I am Aboriginal; I am Human Being; I am Spiritual Being; I am Body (retrospectively pushed above Spiritual Being); I am Spirit; I Am”, is a brilliant insight into the thinking of this enigmatic artist. It takes until the penultimate page of the catalogue to be truly moved. Here a 1991 note to himself finds Bennett proudly announcing that ‘I am trying to paint the one painting that will change the 26
world before which even the most narrow-minded racists will fall to their knees... recognising their own stupidity’. Then he adds: ‘Of course this is in itself stupid and I am a fool, but I think to myself what have I got to lose by trying?’ Jeremy Eccles is a specialist arts commentator who has been writing, broadcasting and filmmaking in Australia since 1983, with a special interest in Indigenous culture. 27

There we were all in one place By Emma-Kate Wilson
‘There we were all in one place’ brings together five photography art series from 2016 to 2019 by Gunditjmara and cross-cultural heritage artist Hayley Millar Baker. Throughout her oeuvre, Millar Baker reclaims the medium of photography using a hacking and collage method that connects Australian histories (often untold outside of oral, local storytelling) and her grandfather’s collection of photographs and negatives. As Talia Smith points out in her essay ‘There is no end’, commissioned for ‘There we were all in one place’, the medium of photography has held a complicated history. She quotes Millar Baker: ‘I wanted to tell the stories of [the] past, present and future, stories of intergenerational experiences, our dreamings, our culture, layered into one image. Photography was built for the white man to document the world. I wanted to flip that, to tell multiple stories all at once.’ Curator of the exhibition, and gallery director, Stella Rosa McDonald shares, ‘Hayley’s methodologies and storytelling have driven the show’s themes and will inform the experience of the show for audiences.’ With the exhibition centring on a Learning Experience developed by Wiradjuri curator and educator Emily McDaniel, ‘It’s about giving space to these important stories and actively learning from them, and it’s an experience for audiences that’s based on reciprocity,’ shares McDonald. ‘The five series brought together in the show tell an intergenerational story. And it was really important to Hayley that audiences can come to the work, which looks at historical and ongoing colonial violence and concepts like Country for Aboriginal people, and find moments to connect, and therefore understand the stories that are being told. The exhibition sets out to challenge the ‘otherness’ of First Nation’s experience.’ Even if the race is fated to disappear (Peeneeyt Meerreeng: Before, Now, Tomorrow) no.1, 2017, inkjet on cotton rag, 120 × 80cm

Accessible in the gallery via QR code, and shared remotely online, the Learning Experience is a tool to navigate the exhibition, posing encounters for each artwork and a provocation for the audience to consider. ‘Hayley’s work asks audiences to look inside themselves and connect on a personal level to the experiences she shares through her photographs,’ McDonald adds. From the enigmatic A Series of Unwarranted Events first displayed in the 2018 Primavera to the quirky adventures of Cook Book (2017-19) presented in the John Fries Awards 2019, Millar Baker draws us into her curious works. They dance and bounce between definition; documentation archival or cinematic narrative, personal or collective histories. As Hetti Perkins writes in her accompanying essay, ‘Girl, Interrupted’, ‘Hayley Millar Baker’s lustrous black and white photomontages reimagine the past with haunting complexity. As documents of lives interrupted and whole communities irrupted, recognisably real or animate people are absent in these enigmatic montages, and only shadowy or glowing ghostly forms hint that they were ever-present.’ 31

Holding multiple roles for its visitor, ‘There we were all in one place’ provides a chance to reflect on history and the function of photography in Australia’s colonial past. But it also seeks out connections for each audience member, asking us to remember and relate through the family and suburban narrative so familiar to us all, in a hope for empathy to change the continuing role of colonisation in this country and the subversive racist undertones that persist.

Maria Fernanda Cardoso Gumnuts and Sandstone By Victoria Hynes
Eucalyptus trees and sandstone rocks are a quintessential part of the Sydney landscape, so much so that local residents can be inured to their innate beauty. Therefore, it is not surprising that it takes someone supplanted from another country and culture to bring these unique forms to our attention. Columbian born Maria Fernanda Cardoso, a leading figure in the international artworld, has created a fundamentally Australian exhibition that celebrates the environment of her adopted home in Sydney. With ‘Gumnuts and Sandstone’, she draws attention to two iconic natural elements indigenous to this country. She has devised an immense wall drawing composed of hundreds of hard wood gumnut capsules, derived from the native Eucalypt. Cardoso’s astonishing sculptures, installations and performances have long fascinated Australian audiences since she moved here from the U.S. in 1997. The artist blends science with nature to create awe-inspiring works that help us see the natural world in a new aesthetic light.

Eucalyptus youngiana gumnut Photograph: Maria Fernanda Cardoso
According to Cardoso: ‘To me, the eucalyptus is an artist, and gumnuts are its artworks,’ She continues: ‘As a trained sculptor, I can only dream of carving with such skill, to produce these perfectly shaped wooden sculptures. The eucalyptus tree does it naturally, after practising for over 100 million years to get these shapes right.’ Attracted to the patterns within the different species of these humble seeds, the artist highlights the geometric complexity of the star-shaped capsules. Through their rhythmic lines and shapes, Cardoso creates an exquisite poetic hybrid of drawing, sculpture, and installation. Along with this series is a collection of blocks of Sydney sandstone. Into their raw, unpolished surfaces, she hand carves abstract patterns, ripples and shapes, drawing out the natural formations within. The result she refers to as a kind of ‘stone graffiti.’ These works follow on from a recent public commission, Where I Live, I Will Grow (2018), installed near her current gallery at Sydney’s Green Square. Sandstone is the bedrock of this city, stretching from the northern beaches of Sydney to the Blue Mountains in the west. These engraved stones celebrate the natural topography of the region, honouring the ancient past on which these geological formations were built. 35

What the two installations share with her earlier work is an underlying exploration of the geometric order inherent in all organic matter. From exquisite patterns on butterfly wings to elegant arrangements of preserved frogs, as well as costumes made of emu feathers and murals made of dyed sheepskins, the artist surprises, sometimes shocks, and jolts our perceptive vision to see beyond what is in front of us, in the process eliciting a kind of childlike wonder and awe. For more than two decades, Cardoso has received wide-reaching acclaim, initially for the creation of her touring ‘flea circus’ (a miniature tent, complete with live fleas and sideshow tricks). The video of her flea circus is now part of the Tate Modern collection. In 2003 she represented Columbia at the Venice Biennale and has developed other exhibitions for the Centre Pompidou in Paris, MOMA in New York, the DAROS Foundation in Zurich and the Centro Reina Sofia in Madrid. Cardoso’s work is experimental and eccentric, daring and unconventional. In a kind of alchemical process, she helps the viewer see the extraordinary in the commonplace and the miraculous in the everyday. In the process, it heightens our perception from the mundane to the sublime as we open our eyes to the natural wonders that lie all around us. Victoria Hynes is a Sydney based arts writer and editor.

TREE of LIFE: a testament to endurance

A descendant of the Bidjara, Ghungalu and Garingbal peoples of central Queensland, Dale Harding’s multilayered practice addresses the complex and often painful histories of discrimination enacted against Aboriginal communities while paying particular homage to matrilineal female figures in his family.
‘TREE of LIFE: a testament to endurance’ is an exhibition of powerful artworks by leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists committed to the environment. The recent fires that raged across Australia record the greatest extinction of Australian wildlife and habitats since colonisation.
Curated by Hannah Mathews, ‘Through a lens of visitation’ explores the artist’s relationship to his mother’s Country, Carnarvon Gorge, and includes a selection of existing works and a new commission in a first-time collaboration with his mother, textile artist, Kate Harding.
What remains of the natural world is the one beacon in a perilous age of drought, fire, floods and plague, exacerbated by the constant reality of climate change. ‘TREE of LIFE’ drives positive energy towards the reclamation of diminishing natural resources.

Of sorrow and release
Shotgun 9: The clouds have cameras
Bringing together kinetic sculpture, video and sound, Sydney-based artist Sidney McMahon addresses two key themes: the public sense of sorrow spurred on by the climate crisis and recent Australian bushfires in the summer of 2019-20; and the personal experience of mourning and celebration that has accompanied the artist’s own unfolding queer narrative. McMahon’s installation interweaves human, environmental, psychological and computational perspectives to ultimately respond to the question: ‘How do I celebrate the person I am now whilst expressing sorrow for my previous self?’
‘The clouds have cameras’ exhibits work developed by Alex Davern as the recipient of Contemporary Art Tasmania’s Shotgun artist development program, which supports Tasmanian artists with an intensive program of high-level industry access, critical engagement and the creation of new work.

Photographers 5
The Garden of Alchemy
First used in the 1830s, the word ‘photography’ derives from the Greek word ‘phos’, meaning ‘light’, and ‘graphê’, meaning ‘drawing’ – so ‘drawing with light. Here, five photographers draw on and with light to reveal hidden truths, often inconvenient discourses, epiphanies of experience and experimentation, and a beguiling diversity of both physical and metaphysical aesthetics, to underscore the tangible and intangible of the human condition. Works are intertwined through powerful formalist qualities, socialcultural realism, political intent and critical discourses, collectively demonstrating a humanist reverence.
Ceramic artist Dawn Beasley’s installations explore human connection to the botanical world. In this exhibition, ‘Garden of Alchemy’, Beasley tells the story of growth, decay, rebirth and renewal as nature determines to survive against a human backdrop of greed. Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in a beautiful garden of hidden delights, and challenges us to think about the value we misplace on the accumulation of wealth over the need to protect the environment that sustains us.

‘Occurrent Affair’ features new and recent works by Aboriginal art collective proppaNOW: Vernon Ah Kee, Tony Albert, Richard Bell, Megan Cope, Jennifer Herd, Gordon Hookey, and Laurie Nilsen; exploring the politics of Aboriginal art and culture, and provoking, subverting and re-thinking what it means to be a ‘contemporary Aboriginal artist’. The show’s tongue-in-cheek title references the sensational journalistic style of TV current affairs programs, embracing the slippage between language and its associated readings to present new narratives while exploring notions of protest, cultural identity and protecting Country.

Pakistan-born, Melbourne-based artist Nusra Latif Qureshi reflects on established narratives within art historical representations of people and society in ‘Promises of a Parallel Cosmos’. The artist challenges the accuracy of these depictions and reveals hidden histories with an exhibition of key artworks created between 2011-2019 and a new artwork, which responds to WAG’s collection of historical pieces. In this show, Qureshi articulates the complexity of colonial stories and encourages new dialogue to understand these manifestations in the present.

Peter Alwast, Joel Arthur, Riley Beaumont, Rowan Kane and Dionisia Salas each display one or two recent works in this appropriately named exhibition, ‘One or Two Paintings’. Each artist is an ANU School of Art alumni and a current ANCA studio resident, and because of their close proximity, the paintings hold some formal similarities: abstraction of subject, the honed attention to surface, and each individual’s material delivery and sensibility. All have their own logic systems, which are continually undone and found again in the process of image-making.

Hanrahan has lived for the past 45 years in the Southern Highlands of NSW. Her work is mainly concerned with the natural environment, social and emotive issues, texture and form. Hanrahan says, ‘Art, for me, has and is the creative energy that fulfils each day, and without it, I don’t feel complete.’ A monograph of selected works will accompany the exhibition.

Kate Dorrough
The Past Stops Now
Theatre of the Grotto
Peteris Ciemitis showcases paintings and drawings from 2008-2021 in ‘The Past Stops Now’, works which highlight the recurrent themes that ruminate throughout his artistic practice. Utilising modes of portraiture, Ciemitis looks inwards to explore how people respond to the effects of social and technological shifts in life. He says, ‘My works don’t really deal with the outward effect of these changes. They try to examine our internal state, and our loss of connection with the past… even the recent past.’
Throughout history, grottoes have been the symbol of life, associated with the underworld, a meeting place between the human and the divine, and an original source of water. Here, Kate Dorrough presents a playful, hybrid interpretation, incorporating artificial rockery and a series of projected videos into real water, accompanied by narrated texts, to stage an interplay between the artificial, the real and the imaginary. The layering of ceramic vessels, shells, paint, video, sound, and fabric, echoes historical references that reveal signs, totems, and unearthed mysterious relics.

BEHIND THE SCENES Art Almanac revisits some of last year’s entries for ‘Looking Ahead’; responses by arts workers that showed the uncertainty, vulnerability, and angst felt during such unprecedented times. 2020 changed us all, hopefully for the better. Artist Megan Seres and writer and curator Sophia Halloway express their thoughts on how 2020 has reframed their creative focus and how they have moved forward into 2021.
Embracing the Paradoxical Nature of Change By Megan Seres The disjunction between desire, hope and the harsh realities of ecological perils, social histories, women’s inequities and COVID-19 isolation powerfully altered the way I perceived the world. What once was vast had paradoxically become claustrophobic. ‘Catarina Kinnvall and Helle Rydstrom examine the gendered politics of disaster and climate change. They argue that gender hierarchies, patriarchal structures and masculinity are closely related to the denial of environmental crises and the female vulnerability to climate-aggravated disasters.’ – Carrie N. Baker, J.D., PhD I’m interested in the wildness of the wilderness and how there is a deep longing, but also an historical fear, about man’s need to destroy what cannot be tamed. It scares me to think that this often underscores the feminine experience. Mother Nature is stronger than us, yet we continue to push her and ourselves to the brink. American environmentalist Bill McKibben warns that extreme weather is shrinking the planet, as wildfires, heatwaves and rising sea levels are making large areas of the earth uninhabitable, forcing people to migrate and causing instability, increased poverty, sexual exploitation and abuse. I wanted to create a body of work that stems from this trauma, to push it out to a broader context into a state of healing. Predominantly a painter, the claustrophobia and fears of the past two years forced me to push against a world closing in. By traversing video, ceramics, painting and poetry, my world became more expansive. In 2017, I had the opportunity to film a group of females within the landscape, and it wasn’t until 2020 that I began to visualise how these videos could unfold. Time slows, deep reds and oranges blur the focus of women running through the landscape, each step in sync with the music, like a heartbeat, or sonorous sounds of impending doom. A flash of light turns to blue hues, with the appearance of females emerging from behind trees, their presence finally seen; their pace is slow, ethereal, they move towards us, floating on the waves of a haunted voice. They stand before us, triumphant. This body of work was conceived to provoke a visceral, emotional response, to create an awareness of the impacts of this time. It asks the viewer to embrace this inherent connection. It conveys both rage and grief, beauty and devastation, sorrow and joy, what is hidden and in plain sight, a necessity to inspire viewers to preserve and protect.

The paintings from this period are full of colour and light, from figuration through to abstraction and are a complete departure from my previous work. There is an expectation that artists should develop in a rather linear, orderly, logical way. But what happens when the life around you is chaotic, unpredictable, and changeable? How does one look ahead? Perhaps it is because art can be a beacon of hope, lighting the way and compelling us to act in response to these upheavals, and giving artists the opportunity to excavate these notions. Megan Seres is a multi-award-winning, multi-media practitioner.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Far from home By Sophia Halloway I have always been drawn towards the arts, and consequentially the museum, even before I understood its cultural significance or power. As a teenager, I moved to Paris alone and with very little money. Museums were free to residents under a certain age, so I spent my days in the Louvre and Pompidou and just about every art museum I could find. It was during a lone visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, my travelling companion sleeping late, that I decided to study art history. I wasn’t necessarily cognisant of any creative connection at this time. Rather, I liked how everything was organised so neatly in their white cubes, the quietude of the gallery soothing my anxious mind. Museums had become a refuge and a home.

Yet, over the course of 2020, I found myself withdrawing from the home I had made in the museum. There is a growing disillusionment with the colonial legacies of institutions, articulated by Instagram accounts such as @changethemuseum and @cancelartgalleries. I became increasingly frustrated by account after account revealing the blatant racism and inequity in the sector, and its mistreatment of staff and collaborators (many of them artists, the very people we purport to champion in our work). There is also the simple fact that I had not only made a home 52
in the museum, but a career, overstepping the tenuous boundaries of work-life balance (especially when my home itself became a full-time office during lockdown). Far from the refuge I had initially found in the museum, the site was becoming increasingly contested – personally, professionally and politically. This estrangement led me to reconsider my relationship to the structures surrounding the arts and my role within the institution. The trick with pursuing a career in a field that you love is that your personal and professional identities inevitably merge so as to become indistinguishable. Being an arts Sophia Halloway and her friend Geraldine Yniguez taking shelter worker is not just what I do, it’s from the rain at the Louvre in Paris, 2014 who I am. Throughout 2020, I increasingly found that who I am is no longer – indeed was never – represented by the institutions I work within. Much work is being done to ensure that our cultural institutions are more inclusive and representative of the societies they exist within. There is a lot of work to do yet, and certainly more than I can attempt to discuss here. This is not to say my relationship to the museum is irreparably damaged, but rather my perspective has shifted. I am reminded that the significance of art does not come from the institutions it is housed within, but the social, political, historical and human contexts in which it was created. Despite the museum’s failings, the human contexts are what make the work worthwhile and which provide the impetus to make the institution better. The people who have the passion to do so are already showing up, they just need the power to move us in the right direction. Which makes me think that perhaps we aren’t so far from home after all.

The ANAT Synapse Residency recipients for 2021 are Tasmanian-based artist Dr Svenja J Kratz and NSWbased artists Linda Dement and Paul Brown. Art + Science Partnerships: Dr Svenja J Kratz + Associate Professor Brad Sutherland, School of Medicine, Utas + Associate Professor Jane Nielsen, Centre for Law and Genetics, Utas + Distinguished Professor Dietmar W Hutmacher, Centre for Regenerative Medicine Group, Qut. Linda Dement & Paul Brown + Dr Carmine Gentile, Cardiovascular Regeneration Group, University of Technology, Sydney. Kratz’s ‘Posthuman Genetic Legacies’ is an investigation of the scientific potential and legal implications of securing alternative genetic offspring via biotechnological intervention. In this work, Kratz draws on recent experiences of uterine pathology and impending menopause to consider alternative conceptions of motherhood and reproduction. Dement and Brown will be working with Dr Carmine Gentile and his team on the generation of ‘heart patches’, which uses ‘mini-hearts’ designed to repair damaged hearts. This will be made possible with Dr Gentile’s expertise in creating human living heart tissue using cells, hydrogels and a 3D bioprinter. ‘We are intrigued by the transmission of life from human to Petri dish to machine to human; the technological bodily processes of harvesting and healing; the shifting dispersed location of the body,’ Dement and Brown explain.

Coalescing together, assemblages of everyday objects levitate in a seemingly peaceful and effortless manner. Both beautiful and ugly, pleasing and awkward, there is, however, a mood of something being not quite right as innocuous man-made objects plague and impinge on their organic companions.

Violent Salt discusses issues surrounding racism and discrimination against First Nations peoples and minority groups as well as the lack of respect for, and desecration of culture and the natural environment. Violent Salt invites artists to speak their truths about these experiences and offers an opportunity for understanding and connection, whilst seeking to celebrate and honour Australia’s unique multiculturalism and landscape. Violent Salt is an Artspace Mackay touring exhibition, co-curated by Yhonnie Scarce and Claire Watson. Also, EO Gill – CLEAVE. Gill won the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre Award at the 2020 Midsumma Australia Post Art Prize for their work ‘Physical’. Their newly developed video work, CLEAVE, builds on previous research, critiquing the regimes of body and gender representation that reinforce heteronormative models of sexual desire and behaviour. Also, Restless by Nick James Archer – emerging artist Nick James Archer examines objects of comfort in Restless. The idea that a pillow, for example, can be a place of calm, yet also a place of sleepless nights is explored through his striking copper and lithium sculptures. These materials also reference Bundoora Homestead Art Centre’s remarkable history of revolutionary medical research; specifically the discovery of lithium as a treatment for bipolar disorder.

Seaweed Arboretum by artists Jennifer Turpin and Michaelie Crawford of Turpin Crawford Studio, is part of Manly’s Seaweed Forests Festival, a unique collaboration between the artists and Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS). The Festival’s innovative program of talks, workshops and events will bring MAG&M to life. This project is supported by SIMS and the NSW Government’s My Community Project. To June 20 Leila Jeffreys: Birdland – an exhibition by acclaimed Australian contemporary artist Leila Jeffreys, uniquely curated for MAG&M. The artist is best known for visceral and mysterious images of birds that explore and subvert the traditions of portraiture. Her avian subjects are photographed at human-scale with a startling attention to colour, line, form and composition. For Jeffreys, birds are both medium and message. Her practice opens windows into critical questions about the shared anthropomorphism that connects humans with animals, the sense of wildness that tugs at the fringes of everyday existence and the fleeting and precious connections that bind us to the natural world. Increasingly, Jeffreys’ work as an artist is inextricable from her concerns as an environmentalist. Working in the tradition of artist-activists, Jeffreys’ arresting images are the result of years long periods of research, exploration and investigation. The artist collaborates with conservationists, ornithologists and sanctuaries around the world to find her subjects before forging an intimate relationship with the birds that she photographs in her studio.

Grottoes are associated with the underworld, a meeting place between the human and the divine, and an original source of water representing life. Throughout history, the grotto has been reinterpreted generating a tension between the artificial and the real. This constructed hybrid incorporates artificial rockery in vivid colours in contrast to a series of projected videos into real water, accompanied by narrated texts. The grotto becomes a theatre, the sculptures actors within this dramatic stage setting (see ad page 121). May 8 to June 6, 2021 Mosman Youth Art Prize. Running for over 30 years, the Mosman Youth Art Prize exhibition features the diverse talents of the country’s young, aspiring and emerging artists and offers them the opportunity to exhibit their work in a public art gallery.

Now on: Balancing Act: Our story is not one story, but many stories to share – this exhibition attempts to showcase works of art that reflect the depth of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and culture, with other aspects of the Aboriginal condition. As a result, radical observations about the ups and downs of life will, at times, weave in and out of stories about Country. Equally, across the show, visitors will encounter passages of serenity, corridors of tradition, and trails that speak to the upheavals experienced by generations of Indigenous people. May 8 to Aug 30 Pulse Perspectives – WA’s talented young artists are celebrated in this yearly showcase, gauging the pulse of young people who will influence, empower and shape the world we live in. The selected works provide a window into young people’s private, social and artistic concerns. It is, in turns, an inspiring, rewarding and insightful look at the world through the minds of our most talented young artists. Opens May Tom Malone Prize 2021 – the Tom Malone Prize is a highly respected national event within the Australian glass arts community, and it has played an integral role in the Gallery’s acquisition of works by Australia’s most inspiring, innovative and accomplished artists working in this art form.
