ART NEWS

Ngununggula Meaning ‘belonging’ in the traditional language of the Gundungurra First Nation People, Ngununggula is the Southern Highlands’ first regional art gallery open to the public on 25 September in what was the old dairy at Retford Park in Bowral, New South Wales.

Under the leadership of Director Megan Monte, Ngununggula will capture the cultural vibrancy of the region through a dynamic curatorial program focusing on visual arts and education: exhibitions, artistled projects, live events, workshops, artist talks and public programs. The inaugural show, ‘High Jinks in the Hydrangeas’, features a series of newly commissioned photographs and sculptural installations by artist Tamara Dean. The exhibition offers a perspective of our collective experience of isolation and a renewed appreciation of nature. On view until 12 December. ngununggula.com

Queensland’s Currumbin Beach foreshore will be transformed into a vibrant art-filled wonderland from 10 to 19 September with the presentation of the 19th annual ‘SWELL Sculpture Festival’. With the vision to connect ‘art, people and place’ through artistic modes of storytelling, the free outdoor exhibition features over 65 sculptural works by local, national and international artists working across a range of mediums from silk, wire and natural fibres to concrete, steel and glass.

‘SWELL Kids Elements’ will inspire young creatives with fun art, storytelling and online workshops. ‘SWELL Fringe Festival’ includes a symposium discussing site-specific art and sculpture; a masterclass with Phillip Piperides; an exhibition of small sculptures at Dust Temple, as well as pop-up exhibitions, artist talks and guided walks to enjoy.

WHAT’S ON NEAR ME

Zoe Grigoris

Harley Manifold

Social Medea

I know you heard me, but are you listening

For ‘Social Medea’, Zoe Grigoris creates an environment that invites a delightful sense of wonder and teeters on the blurred edges of memory. Her new collection of delicate jewellery and decorative wall works are inspired by how memories slip, transform and fade, and jewellery’s nostalgic role in preserving them. Grigori’s pieces bear the hallmarks of her distinctive whimsical aesthetic, including her ornately embossed patterns, romantic feminine forms and painterly surfaces, while her larger-scale wall works provide scope to use pattern in a more uninhibited way.

Enticed by personal stories of love and connection, Harley Manifold’s painted observations present the remnants of a fleeting human presence. His ethereal, empty streetscapes are often centred on a lone element – a dimly-lit streetlight or car headlamps reflecting solitary street signs. In this exhibition ‘I know you heard me, but are you listening?’, the artist invites the viewer to indulge in the reverie of a story with no beginning or end; only an illuminated path for which a stage is set.

WHAT’S ON NEAR ME

Undercurrent

Looking at Painting

Devonport Regional Gallery Until 25 September, 2021 Tasmania

Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre Until 7 November, 2021 Sydney

Artists: Elizabeth (Liz) Braid, Joel Crosswell, Janine Combes, Lisa Garland, Lola Greeno, Ricky Maynard, Tim Morehead, Rodney Pole, John Stroomer, Rosemary Wyllie and Philip Wolfhagen.

Through this exhibition, audiences will see the diversity of the form of expanded painting today, and many of its possibilities in recent works by Nell, Carmen Glynn-Braun, Jody Graham, Rochelle Haley, Kirtika Kain, Hayley Megan French, Claudia Nicholson, Judy Watson and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu.

‘Undercurrent’ features works from the DCC Permanent Collection including prints from the Robinson Collection, and explores Tasmanian art through the lens of the ocean; on an island, it is a powerful force, both isolating and connecting. Tracing the tide lines that connect Tasmanian life and identity across time, ‘Undercurrent’ examines how Tasmania’s unique relationship with the sea shapes our experiences and collective futures.

‘Looking at Painting’ features nine contemporary artists from different geographic and cultural backgrounds that push the boundaries of the canvas: working with painting and experimenting with the medium through various themes and approaches to collaboration, material, process, and installation.

ART & INDUSTRY

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!

Melbourne Art Foundation 2022 Commission

This month, we congratulate Yankunytjatjara artist Kaylene Whiskey who has been awarded the Melbourne Art Foundation 2022 Commission for a new single-channel video work that playfully responds to Melbourne Art Fair’s 2022 theme ‘Djeembana/Place’, with her love of Country and deep connection to her Yankunytjatjara heritage at the heart of its creation.

Whiskey is the first, First Nations artist to be awarded with the Melbourne Art Foundation Commission in its 15-year history, as well as the first recipient to be nominated for a moving image work. For the 2022 Commission, Melbourne Art Foundation partnered with ACMI, Australia’s national museum of screen culture.

Whiskey’s homeland is Indulkana, a remote Indigenous community in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia. She is recognised for her dynamic depictions of strong women and heroic female idols like Dolly Parton and Tina Turner painted into remote desert community landscapes, surrounded by native plants and wildlife and doing traditional Anangu activities like hunting, collecting bush tucker and cultivating mingkulpa (native tobacco plant), and which also come to life in Whiskey’s animations.

‘I’m very proud to live here on our Country and to hold on to our culture and our language. I grew up watching my family, my aunties and grandfather, making paintings about our Country, and I am continuing this tradition but using new ways too – dot painting and video. I want my work to show a strong, positive message about life in a remote Indigenous community.

I am from the generation that grew up with Coca-Cola and TV as well as Tjukurpa (cultural stories) and bush tucker, so I like to have a bit of fun with combining those two different worlds,’ says Whiskey.

Whiskey’s winning commission will premiere at Melbourne Art Fair, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 17 to 20 February 2022. melbourneartfair.com.au

Experimental Print Prize
