A Note From the Editor People don’t talk enough about friendship in art. Words like ‘collaboration’ and ‘networks’ are used, but rarely friendship—and yet friendship is what has ultimately transpired between Nadia Hernández and Jon Campbell, our cover artists for this issue. Although they each come from different backgrounds and generations, there is a shared love of words, line and colour, which they speak to in their joint show and in our interview. We visit Kate Rohde’s studio where friendship and collaboration merge in her practice, and in our interview with TextaQueen, the artist speaks about their subversive portraits, and the connections they have with sitters—everything from punk mindsets to queer politics. We also have a long-form article on the political nature of portraiture and how artists in Australia are expanding its conservative legacies—it’s a political stance, but it’s also about the relationship between artist and subject. Friendship is also a form of connection—and connections happen in all kinds of ways. In the reflection of renowned figurative and surrealist painter Peter Booth the connections could be between figuration and abstraction, but also between the many different selves we carry. Meanwhile Jemima Wyman literally connects images, talking us through her collage and masking techniques, using images of protest and resistance to create beguiling formations. The Art Gallery of New South Wales is making cultural links with the unveiling of the new Sydney Modern campus, the largest cultural investment in Sydney since the Opera House, and Soda Jerk are revealing a new film, trying to connect the seemingly unconnectable events from the last six years—everything from president Trump to QAnon to the war in Ukraine. Read about friendship, connection and resistance in this November/ December issue. Tiarney Miekus Editor, Art Guide Australia

Melbourne Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse National Gallery of Victoria 11 December—16 April 2023 In June 1996 the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) began collecting work by fashion designer Alexander McQueen. This was the early days of McQueen’s prolific career: he was yet to be awarded Designer of the Year in 1996 and 1997 by the British Fashion Council, and unexpectedly succeed John Galliano as head designer at Givenchy. Until McQueen’s untimely death in 2010, the NGV amassed one of the most significant collections of the designer’s work—which is now being revealed. It wasn’t just McQueen’s working-class background and unconventional entry into the fashion world that disturbed critics. It was his unapologetic response to the polarising reactions his theatrical and subversive runway shows caused. McQueen appeared unfazed by the controversy. According to McQueen himself: “I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex; things we all think about, but don’t bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it.” Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse is the first major Australian exhibition of the designer’s work. Yet as Katie Somerville, NGV’s senior curator for fashion and textiles, explains, while this exhibition includes over 120 of McQueen’s fashion pieces, accessories and designs, it’s not a retrospective. Arranged thematically, McQueen’s work will be exhibited alongside historical artworks that informed his practice. This approach allows us “valuable insights into his technical and creative process and innate capacity for immersive storytelling”, says Somerville. And this story is 25 years of one designer’s work. “During his career, McQueen sampled a multitude of ideas, bringing together seemingly disparate influences, to create collections that pushed far beyond the bounds of conventional fashion design.” — AUTUMN ROYA L

Ballarat Beating about the Bush
Art Gallery of Ballarat 5 November—19 February 2023
In the 1884 painting A summer morning tiff by Australian Impressionist Tom Roberts, the artist centres the romanticism of a lone female figure (said to be Harriet McCubbin) wearing a corseted white dress and framed by dry, golden-hued bushland. In a contemporary reinterpretation of the painting, Sydney-based photographer Anne Zahalka looks at how clothing speaks of cultural implications. As curator Louise Tegart says, Zahalka “compares the fashion of the 19th century with the garb worn by Islamic women, but also draws on the personal experience of . . . living between Morocco and Australia.” It’s reinterpretations like these that define Beating about the Bush. Combining historical and contemporary perspectives, Beating about the Bush features over 50 works from the Art Gallery of Ballarat’s collection Anne Zahalka, A summer morning tiff, 2007, to re-examine our understanding of the Australian pigment ink on rag paper. purchased with funds landscape and Impressionism movement, and its from the joe white bequest, 2020. contentious, colonial history. The show contrasts paintings by Australian Impressionists working in the early 1900s, such as Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton, alongside work by 20 contemporary female photographers including Hayley Millar Baker, Tamara Dean, Jane Burton, Maree Clarke and Jacqui Stockdale. Offering multiple viewpoints influenced by personal experiences of gender, class, immigration and environmental change, representations of the figure in the landscape link many of the works. A major inspiration for the show was Zahalka’s 1985 exhibition The Landscape Revisited. As Tegart explains, “Zahalka chose to recast characters within the landscape to offer a more inclusive and compassionate portrayal of the people— migrants, First Nations, women, people of non-Christian faiths—missing from Australian Impressionist narratives . . . Her work is as much a comment on society and the art world as it is about the painters themselves.” Such comments abound in Beating about the Bush. —BR ION Y DOW NES

The shifting idea of home—and the word’s concurrent intangibility and pervasiveness—is at the heart of Do Ho Suh’s work. For over three decades, the prolific South Korean artist has explored questions of belonging in his expansive practice, which spans drawing, films, installation, stitching, sculpture—and much more. In the wake of the pandemic and global migration, notions of displacement are even more embedded in the public consciousness: it’s perfect timing for Suh’s first Southern Hemisphere solo exhibition at the
Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). “The work is particularly resonant in the present time, but the kinds of concerns expressed are really universal concerns because they are questions about home and movement and diasporic experience,” says curator Rachel Kent. The survey includes the debut of Rubbing/Loving: Seoul Home, a major work that has been in development since 2013. A series of rubbings using graphite and mulberry paper, this installation revisits Suh’s family home—a traditional Korean hanok. “A long time ago, he and I were talking about this and how it would be amazing if he could complete the work in time for this exhibition,” Kent says. “He felt that it was appropriate for it to be inaugurated within this region.” While Covid-19 pushed the show back, the work’s debut has even more personal significance now with the recent passing of the artist’s father. Suh’s colourful work responds to the MCA’s physical space, whether it’s looking underneath your own feet at Floor—a work made of thousands of tiny plastic figurines—or the arresting Staircase-III, a transparent red staircase descending from a ceiling made of the same material. These fascinating pieces all come together in conversation to illustrate a drifting life lived through many variations of home. —GISELLE AU-NHIEN NGU Y EN
Hobart Bruce Thurrowgood
Handmark Gallery 18 November—5 December
To live in the isolated town of Bicheno, on the east coast of Tasmania, is to have a profound relationship with water. For the painter Bruce Thurrowgood, a resident of this settlement that faces toward the Tasman Sea, his relationship with water is aesthetic—perhaps transcendent. “The paintings have all developed from the observation of light on water where I live,” says Thurrowgood of his new exhibition at Handmark, which features 20 paintings of various sizes, all acrylic on linen. “New paintings from 2021 reflect states of water with multiple Bruce Thurrowgood, In the Silence #1, 2021, acrylic layers of patterning in the sand and the surface of the on linen, 122 x 112 cm. water,” explains the artist. “The 2022 paintings are more concentrated on the picture plane and relationships between gradual colours, tones, patterns and layering. They are difficult to describe. It’s a visual language.” Such meditations on water allow Thurrowgood to create a relationship between realism and abstraction—an interest he has held throughout his long artistic career. These new water paintings certainly depict the natural world, and the characteristics of water, yet they also explore line, pattern and shape. “Water paintings in particular have afforded me the opportunity to be absorbed in minute detail,” says Thurrowgood. “This satisfied my need for abstraction and freed me from the constraint of realism, whether the subject was water, landscape, or a still life. The current work utilises my earliest minimalist expression of the 1970s as well as skills gained from being a ‘realist’ painter.” Also important in Thurrowgood’s work is the uniquely Tasmanian isolation and seclusion (pandemic or not)—perfect for fostering a deeper focus on the minutiae of the natural world. “My version of isolation has been integral to producing this work. It has been a good two years for painting.” —BA R NA BY SMITH

Melbourne Lydia Wegner
Arc One Gallery 30 November—28 January 2023
The illusory assemblages that Lydia Wegner makes and photographs on her studio tabletop are “quite intimate little constructions”, she says. They’re abstractions made from familiar, everyday materials like paper, dowel and scraps of shiny plastic, but that’s not always easy to tell. “Sometimes when you put the lights on, it can really change what you’re seeing, especially if there are reflective elements.” Wegner’s images are vivid and playful. Creating for over a decade, the Melbourne-based artist uses strong torches and coloured gels to alter shadows and compositions. She disrupts the sense of a clear foreground and background; elements appear to rest or float together, if only for a moment. “I want to find some kind of balance within the frame and create visual abstractions that make you question, ‘What am I seeing?’” she says. She’s often inspired by architecture and the shapes and shadows of Melbourne, but her constructions evolve Lydia Wegner, Green Wave, 2022, pigment ink-jet print, 95 x 63 cm. courtesy of the artist and arc as she works. “After the initial few images, I might adjust one gallery, melbourne. what I have been doing on the tabletop, changing the colour gel on the light, or adding or subtracting another piece of material.” Her works come together in that moment of the camera flash. “I enjoy the spontaneity of photography—working quickly and finding these little moments that you can’t really plan for,” she explains. In her latest assemblages at Arc One Gallery, she has pared her compositions back, working with a fairly small set of geometric components. In one, she has set a red square and black circle inside a cross. Another splices two images of curved paper into a searing wave. They’re works about form, colour, perception and light— and what happens in the shadows. —JA NE O’SULLI VA N
Adelaide Gamepieces Nalini Malani
Art Gallery of South Australia 5 November—22 January 2023
Rhana Devenport, director of the Art Gallery of South Australia, first met artist Nalini Malani in India when Devenport was conducting research for the 1996 Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. “Since that time, Nalini Malani, In Search of Vanished Blood, 2012, Nalini and I have done a number of projects together and single channel video, 16:9, colour, sound, 11 min, for me, her work always pushes and pulls between acute financial newspapers on 3 walls. © nalini malani, beauty and devastating truth.” image courtesy of the artist. Tracing Malani’s practice from the 1960s onwards, Devenport has curated Gamepieces—a broad cross section of Malani’s multidisciplinary oeuvre encompassing photography, shadow plays, reverse paintings and installation. Born in 1946 in Karachi, Pakistan, Malani is heavily influenced by her childhood experiences as a refugee of Partition,
26
when British India divided into India and Pakistan, violently displacing 10-20 million people across both countries. As a result, much of her work focuses on issues related to social, feminist and environmental justice. The central work and title piece of the exhibition, Gamepieces, 2003-20, is a monumental four-channel video installation made of visual projections and six cylinders made from mylar, a transparent polyester film. Painted directly onto the mylar surfaces are numerous fantastical creatures referencing nuclear testing that took place in India and Pakistan in 1998. “Always with Nalini there is a call to both ecological and political justice, and a commentary on the great political forces,” says Devenport. Reflecting on the diverse content of Gamepieces, Devenport explains, “Within each room there is a lot of complexity, which I think is testimony to her richness as an artist. There is the uncompromising radicality of her vision combined with an informed, intelligently researched understanding of political and social forces. But there is also her playfulness, her poetry, and her conviction that the power of art and the independent voice still have cogency and agency in the world.” —BR ION Y DOW NES
Sydney NURA: Deep Listening
Cement Fondu 15 October—10 December
The practice of deep listening is at the foundation of the exhibition NURA—which is also the Dharawal word for Country. Through sound and sculpture, Indigenous Maddison Gibbs, The Darkness, artwork mock up, artists salllvage (AKA Rowan Savage) and Maddison 2022. commissioned by cement fondu. Gibbs are creating a new engagement with their communities. For NURA, both artists connected with Dharug Elder Aunty Julie Webb for knowledge sharing workshops, which guided the development of their works. “Both Rowan and Maddie, in their own practices, talk about their connection to Country, but also about the political history and memories and language that has been lost, hidden or removed,” says curator Dennis Golding. Kombumerri artist salllvage’s work is a multi-sound source installation, blending natural field recordings with distorted compositions. The result is an immersive soundscape that shows how tools of colonisation can be reclaimed to create new connections with Country. Meanwhile Gibbs, a Barkindji artist, exhibits The Darkness which blends wooden, spirit-like sculptures with lighting, bringing out shadows. These shadows become part of the artwork, generating a dialogue about the dark histories of the past that are hidden in everyday life. “We wanted both components of sound and visual in this show to talk about how the artists are listening to Country, and how they can invite an audience to look at some of the contemporary issues that happen in our community across Australia,” says Golding. Both works centre on what Golding describes as an “almost post-human, apocalyptic theme”, prompting viewers to contemplate what has been lost over time in a sombre gallery experience. “They’re visualising Country as spirit,” explains Golding. “They’re really respecting the knowledge that they’ve built, but also having a bit of critique on how Country has been disrupted due to the effects of colonisation. There’re many things about sustainability, affecting our waterways, systems and language.” —GISELLE AU-NHIEN NGU Y EN

Midland Tracing Gondwana
Midland Junction Arts Centre 19 November—18 February 2023
It’s imperative to contemporary art and life that exhibitions draw attention to our climate crisis—and artists are increasingly addressing the issue in innovative and impassioned ways, like Tracing Gondwana at Midland Junction Arts Centre. Nikki Green, A Window of Time - In Stories Still Told, Key to the show is a localised focus, as printmaker digital print on archival paper, 36 x 27 cm. Words Nikki Green, one of three artists behind the exhibition, from All the Stories We Do Not Know by Renee explains. There’s a specific emphasis on “building Pettitt-Schipp. awareness of current issues in relation to climate change and the cultural and ecological significance of . . . the southwest of Western Australia”. Tracing Gondwana has been created via a three-way collaboration between Green, fellow printmaker Monika Lukowska and poet Renee Pettitt-Schipp— all of whom draw on backgrounds in environmental art or ecopoetics. The result is a series of works that combine artforms, are consciously contemporary yet absorb the past, and pulse with ecological urgency. As Green explains, “Tracing Gondwana is . . . a collection of works on paper weaving verse and image through traditional and contemporary printmaking processes—linoblock prints, collagraphs, lithography, digital prints, and an artist book installation.” The textual element, courtesy of Pettitt-Schipp, is central in expressing the ideological heart of the show and, Green says, “drawing the viewer in for a more intimate experience with the work. Verse is interwoven into the structure of the work—with the literary rhythm acting as an expression of the dialogue between the mental and visual image.” A poetic sensibility infuses the exhibition, bringing a heightened awareness to the ecology of the Great Southern region of Western Australia. “By evoking curiosity and wonder through our creative representations of local biodiversity,” says Green, “alongside fostering a deep understanding of the vulnerability of local ecosystems, we hope to foster greater environmental responsibility and active citizenship in the Western Australian public.” —BA R NA BY SMITH

28
In early 2020, just before Covid-19 hit globally, Teo Treloar went on a research trip to New York to observe 17th-century Dutch etchings. On the journey home, he noticed people had started to mask up. “It was like a Hollywood horror movie,” he says. The previous year, he had read Albert Camus’s The Plague, where an
epidemic infects a French Algerian city—“It’s a tough read, it isn’t fun.” Treloar knew the possible trajectory. Shortly after returning to Australia, Treloar’s project evolved to focus on The Plague. He searched for as many different editions of the book as possible and, on receiving them, would create detailed drawings of the covers. The exhibiting results extend Treloar’s interests around impermanence, the absurd, and existentialist philosophy. “The interesting thing with The Plague is that it has been written about and talked about so much, it is hard to read it without all the commentary that comes along with it,” says Treloar. “It is full of allegory about the Nazi occupation of Paris and also the French occupation of Algiers, but I think an interesting subtext that has come up during the recent pandemic is that, in essence, all humans can actually be interpreted as being the plague.” Finding different editions of The Plague has remained an obsession. Treloar has acquired about 35 singular versions so far, but during the height of border closures and lockdowns, some went missing in the post, including a $350 first edition. “That doesn’t really matter,” he says. “What is important is that the books are not only interesting as aesthetic objects, but that they have passed through the hands of others: they have been read and come from countries that have experienced different impacts from the pandemic. That connects us all.” —A NDR EW STEPHENS
Hobart <y<s To Hands Tim Price
Penny Contemporary 11 November—2 December
Tim Price, we see things, 2020.
When approaching painting, Tim Price begins with drawing—scores of drawings. Price fills whole sketch books, detailing images and visual references from memory and close observation. He likens this approach to a ‘living process’, something he can do amid the busyness of daily demands. It’s economical too—Price can experiment before applying paint to canvas. After the pages of one book are exhausted, he’ll start filling up another. Only a few drawings will ever become paintings, like those showing at Penny Contemporary. The artist paints when he’s most relaxed—or if that’s not possible, at least the act of painting will allow him a feeling of calmness, enhancing creativity. The titles of Price’s expressive paintings read like a stream of consciousness, arguably mimicking the process of how they were produced. His latest exhibition includes abstracted figurative paintings with titles like a sweaty little vision and birthday party cooma some time in 90s yeah that what it look like. In the aptly titled we see things, 2020, the eye is drawn toward three dominant shapes: a maroon succulent plant, two lovers ensnared in embrace, and a giant multicoloured bird (which could be one of many green rosellas Price saw when living in Hobart before his recent move to Sydney). When it comes to his current work, the artist says he’s “trying to repeat life again”. As Price explains, “I realise a painting isn’t life, but I’m trying to evoke all the weird chances and strange things that go into life.” Yet, Price’s work also reveals the joy of observation and play with visual language. The exhibition title demonstrates this alone, formatted as <y<s To Hands, a symbolic way of writing ‘eyes to hands’. For Price, it all depends which way you look. —AUTUMN ROYA L

For self-taught Torres Strait Islands artist Segar Passi, painting the luxuriously colourful scenery around him is not only about creating something beautiful, it’s also an important component of cultural legacy. Everything in his detailed paintings is implicitly intended to be a record of knowledge for future generations. Passi’s extraordinary powers of recall are used to make his works, rather than working en plein air or using photographs as a reference. As Cairns Art Gallery director Andrea May Churcher observes in the catalogue for Passi’s show at the gallery, Passi’s ability to paint from memory is remarkable, “recalling details with absolute accuracy based on acute observational skills”. His paintings are also entrancingly rich in colour. Visitors to this retrospective, spanning Passi’s long career beginning in the 1960s, may find themselves instantly seduced by the way his bright palette saturates the senses. A Mer (Murray) Island man, Passi commands great respect and affection at home and abroad for both his extraordinary output and for his very particular methods. The gallery’s assistant curator, Peggy Kasabad Lane, a Torres Strait Islands woman, says that like many Islands people she grew up knowing about Passi’s work. Respected anthropologist Margaret Lawrie had brought Passi’s art and
32
his intricate cultural knowledge to attention when she wrote Myths and Legends of the Torres Strait in 1972—a book that Lane grew up reading. “I’ve known about him for most of my life,” Lane says. “So, when I started curating this exhibition, I realised how much of his work is instructive and very much about passing on knowledge. Even in a work that you think is just a nice painting, he is still trying to pass on important cultural information.” She cites the celebrated 2019 work Mer, held in the National Gallery of Victoria’s collection, which shows a stunning beach with clear waters and an island in the near distance—but on the sand are newly hatched turtles making their way to the water, their tracks imprinted behind them. The knowledge here is in the precisely recorded details of the track patterns, the time of year (indicated by the distinct cloud formations) and the detail in the turtle images. “It feels like everything he has painted is there to pass on information,” Lane says. “As a Merim Mer [language group] man, that’s what our Elders do. My grandparents were the same—any opportunity to transfer that knowledge to the young ones in whatever way, whether it is sitting down weaving or an oral activity, they do it.”

Included in the show are some of Passi’s early works from the 1960s, such as Torres Strait Pigeon eating the fruit of the Wild Plum, 1968, in which the bird, also known as the Deumer, is heavily symbolic— according to legend, once you eat the Wongai tree’s fruit, you will always return to the Torres Strait Islands. “He did another painting of a Deumer in a tree in 2004—it is incredible, because the two paintings are 40 years apart and there is no doubt it is the same artist. But they also both have the same attention to detail and are both done entirely from memory. He has an open-air studio on Mer next to his house and he is literally sitting there and painting from what he remembers . . .” Lane has divided the show thematically, emphasising Passi’s interests in weather systems, cultural practices, mythology, Indigenous astrology, marine and bird life, and the day-to-day happenings he sees on the Islands. His interest in cosmology and representing First Nations understandings of the stars earned him, in 2020, the rare honour of having an asteroid named after him by the International Astronomical Union: 7733 Segarpassi is in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. As with his cosmological representations, Passi is very specific with his cloud formations—
particular cloud shapes indicate certain weather patterns, time of year, and other important information related to food gathering. “This is the thing,” Lane says. “You have to be specific and the information has to be correct, so that the young ones can pass it on to the next generation. You are taught what this cloud means, what this wind means. Young teenagers have gone out and got lost at sea because they didn’t see the weather patterns properly and look to the sky, the clouds. Torres Strait Islands people are naturally visual people.” Passi, now 80, recently put his brushes aside to settle into retirement. “It is important to say he has stopped painting,” Lane says. “We can reflect on his career—and he can stop getting requests to make new work. This exhibition ties all that in well: as a celebration of a lifetime of work and the most comprehensive exhibition put on for him.”

Connecting Past and Present The new Sydney Modern campus will transform the Art Gallery of New South Wales—making it the largest cultural investment in Sydney since the Opera House. W R ITER
Chloé Wolifson
The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW), with its distinctive 19th-century colonnaded façade, has undergone several renovations over the past half-century. Now, the doors are opening to Sydney Modern, where this historic building will sit among an expanded art museum campus filled with galleries, libraries and archives. But the centre point of the Sydney Modern project is a new adjacent building— it almost doubles the gallery’s total exhibition space, with original commissions from local artists to international creators. Like when the Queensland Art Gallery added the Gallery of Modern Art in 2006, this new $344 million dollar addition is set to change the Sydney landscape. It started in 2008, when arts patron John Kaldor gifted AGNSW the Kaldor Collection—one of the most significant collections of late 20th-century art in Australia. Director Michael Brand explains that Kaldor’s gift—where storage had to be transformed into exhibition spaces to house the major acquisition— was an early impetus to rethink the gallery’s spatial limitations. “It was clear that while the Art Gallery was in many ways punching above its weight, it was . . . half the size of the National Gallery in Canberra, the NGV [and] QAGOMA,” says Brand. The road to Sydney Modern began with the commissioning of a master plan, unveiled in 2013, followed by an international architecture competition, with funding secured in 2017. The project is the largest government-philanthropic arts partnership realised
34
in Australia, and the largest cultural investment in Sydney since the Opera House. The indoor-outdoor connection implied by the term ‘campus’ is crucial to the visitor experience of Sydney Modern, designed by prize-winning architects SANAA. “Rather than coming to an institution, coming in the front door and experiencing art . . . it’s [now] art, architecture and landscape in a seamless relationship,” says Brand. The new light-filled series of structures coexist with the surrounding landscape and historic building. A 125-metre-long curved wall of rammed earth connects the new galleries and provides interstitial spaces for artwork display. An art garden connects the old and new buildings, and an outdoor plaza highlights the museum’s role as public space, providing sightlines into the new building and its art. It’s an indoor-outdoor experience more reflective of Sydney’s nature than the existing building’s imposing façade. The opening program features several firsts for the gallery, including a majority of work by women on exhibition and a gallery devoted to time-based art. The historic building now includes an expanded library, Australia’s first children’s art library, and the national art archive. right

The long-contentious location of Indigenous gallery Yiribana—previously placed in the lowest level of the historic building—has been redressed. Yiribana is now the first gallery encountered by visitors on the ground floor of the new building. A deliberate elevation of First Nations voices continues throughout : major new works by Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Karla Dickens and Jonathan Jones are among nine significant artist commissions. Jones’s work bíal gwiyúŋo (the fire is not yet lighted) links the buildings and responds to the site’s history on Gadigal land. In addition, Australian and international artist commissions are installed inside and outside both buildings. Deputy director and director of collections Maud Page explains that in viewing the existing collection as a chronology of time, taste and issues, “I was really interested with the nine commissions to see whether there was anything that we wanted to emphasise further . . . at this point in time. What do we signpost? What do we herald?” Commissioned works by international artists Yayoi Kusama, Lee Mingwei, Lisa Reihana and Francis Upritchard explore myriad themes including place, exchange, spirituality and mythology, while Australian artists Simryn Gill and Richard Lewer respond to the local. One particular highlight is the Tank, a 2,200-square-metre underground space repurposed from a decommissioned World War II naval oil tank. The inaugural artwork commission is Argentine-Peruvian artist Adrián Villar Rojas’s The End of Imagination, a sculptural experiment raised in a virtual setting then transformed into physical form. Villar Rojas has said that, “when I first visited in 2018 and climbed down a ladder into the Tank, I understood with all my senses the power and potential
of this underground realm with all its layers of time, materials and history”. Page notes that as the gallery programs future exhibitions in the unusual venue, “it is through an artist’s vision that we will get the most out of this space”. Sydney Modern’s first exhibitions will showcase its existing collection, allowing major and lesser-known works to circulate, and rethinking the collection itself in the process. “When we reopen, every single space across the campus will have been reimagined,” Page explains. The existing AGNSW building includes new collection hangs, as well as monographic and temporary shows. In a break from traditional Australian art museum practice, 20th century Australian art is now positioned alongside international work of the same era. In the entrance hall, the Kaldor Public Art Project Sol LeWitt: Affinities and Resonances places the American artist’s wall drawing in conversation with paintings by Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Gloria Tamerre Petyarre. Meanwhile, the thematic exhibitions in the new galleries combine works from the Indigenous, Asian, Australian and International collections. The shows include Making Worlds, exploring ideas of mapping, creation and the passing of time; Dreamhome: Stories of Art and Shelter, which reflects on diverse ideas of home; and Outlaw, celebrating pop culture antiheroes in the new media gallery. Ultimately, Sydney Modern’s opening harnesses 151 years of accumulated knowledge into a contemporary vision, connecting past and present.

TextaQueen The striking, idiosyncratic artwork of TextaQueen has a life of its own. Working primarily with markers, the Melbourne-based non-binary artist creates bold, often irreverent depictions of diasporic experience. Their new show, Bollywouldn’t, skewers Bollywood archetypes by way of fictional film posters, starring other queer and trans South Asian people, presented as digital projections onto images of famous buildings around the world.

GISELLE AU-NHIEN NGU Y EN
You’ve worked across forms from photography to marker drawings. How has your practice evolved over time? TEXTAQUEEN
In my fine arts degree, I mostly did photography and experimental video, but then I left and I didn’t have a $40,000 edit suite or a dark room, so I started drawing as my main practice. I’ve always done photography, just not as part of my exhibiting practice—I could not be an artist if the only thing I was doing was making giant works on paper for commercial and institutional spaces, because a big part of my art process (and why I want to be making art) is for the connections with people. Not only in the process, but also in who sees the work, and those kind of white wall spaces aren’t necessarily the places where I’m going to feel the deepest connection to people, or people are going to even be able to access that intimacy with the work. What made me get back into it [markers] as part of my practice was when I was doing a residency and I was planning to work on a paper self-portrait series. I started taking photographs of myself in the landscape, and then I was like, “This is actually the work.” It’s also about the sustainability of my practice—I’m not only just talking financially, but also the emotional process. Diversifying my practice keeps me more dedicated to it and more enthused to keep making work. GA N
You’ve spoken about the use of textas as subversive in the traditional art space— how does the medium speak to your ideas? TQ
I started drawing with textas in my early twenties and it was this very accessible, affordable, ready-made way to create. I just liked what it invoked—it’s associated with this young, unskilled kind of creativity, so to be making complex work with it for me is subversive. It was another way to reference the paternalism that people in my body often experience in the art world, but actually bringing more complexity to that. GA N
After having worked with the form for so long, how has your approach shifted? TQ
My style has really changed—sometimes I miss the looseness with which I could draw in the beginning, but I feel like I’m so skilled with putting a marker to the page. I still draw the initial portraits from life, but I’ll often add a lot of details from reference photos and research, especially when I’m composing stuff that has a big design element. In the beginning, it was just colour by numbers style, where I would draw the outline and colour them in, and now I use a really big range of techniques and different kinds of markers. I sometimes use a waterbrush or watercolour pens, and just do a lot more fine rendering and a mix of graphic colouring. In the beginning, I also used
Crayola markers, and now I use artist pens that are archival, which came about because in the beginning when making big works, I’d be using a red marker in a kids’ pack and then I’d open the next kids’ pack because that one’s run out, and it would be a totally different red. So, I had to buy markers where I know they’re all the same colour. I know so much about so many artists’ markers—which ones will look flat and which ones I can blend. GA N
How do expressions of gender fluidity influence your work? TQ
What I represent in my work really reflects my life, because my work really reflects what I am personally going through, what is happening around me and the world that I connect with. Ideas of gender fluidity have come up more in my work as that’s been something I’ve felt more comfortable identifying with, and the community who I’m connecting with are subjects of my drawings. It’s kind of like language—I think it was there, but I didn’t have the language or the ease to express it. GA N
You’ve drawn yourself as different iconic figures—what does this express about your own identity and a collective identity? TQ
I have done a lot of self-portraiture, but I’m really trying to talk about collective experience and experiences that aren’t just personal but are systemic. Drawing myself as Jesus or Gandhi crystallises that. I grew up really Catholic and it was a deep thing to draw myself as Jesus. I hope people understand the complexity of drawing myself as Gandhi when he is this super iconic figure [but] that is a really complicated character. I was really thinking about how celebrity dehumanises people and doesn’t allow for complexities— it’s either you’re on the pedestal or you’re interred. I feel that personally; how isolating it can be that people have an impression of you from your work or from the persona they imagine about you. And I think that’s an experience that’s so much broader now because of social media, where any individual with a following can experience those kinds of things. GA N
Your new show centres on Bollywood— what’s your relationship with it? TQ
The exhibition is called Bollywouldn’t because it’s about what wouldn’t and doesn’t happen in Bollywood and beyond. I asked queer and trans South Asians I met when I was in London in 2019 on a residency to come up with ideas for a fictional Bollywood poster and about their intersectional identities, deconstructing the ‘isms’ of Bollywood and the world.

Honestly, I haven’t seen more than maybe two dozen Bollywood movies, and a lot of them I’ve seen since I started doing Bollywouldn’t. But growing up, the pressure to assimilate and connect with anything Indian as a kid was so fraught because I was never going to be enough, either so-called Australian or Indian, so my relationship with Bollywood had that dynamic to it. I was queer, and I didn’t have the language to know that—but even now watching movies, I feel so alienated from the hetness [heteronormativity] of it. I really liked it as a format to parody and to connect with, because of the cultural connection and the drama and the design. It felt like everyone who I asked also had a fraught connection to Bollywood because of similar reasons, but then found the process of coming up with the portrait and posing for it as a way to connect with it. It felt like an appropriate way for us to reclaim this cultural form. GA N
What kinds of conversations were you having with your subjects for the film posters? TQ
I had some ideas for portraits that I suggested to people, but everybody came up with their own idea. I was really excited by a few ideas, and some people came with very formed ideas; I asked one person who was like, “I want my friends in it and we want to have three heads and each of our arms is going to be holding different things that are to do with our punk organising background.” They really connected with me throughout the process of drawing. It was a very intimate and organic process where I’d ask them about what their connection was to the genre, to their culture and heritage—a lot of conversation about queerness and culture and asking them to represent what they feel isn’t represented. GA N
Where did the idea of projecting the images onto buildings come from? TQ
I have photographs of various sites that the models have chosen in the UK, mostly in London, and the portraits are appearing as murals on those buildings via digital manipulation. It’s a fictional landscape of the buildings with the murals of the portraits on them. I asked each of the models where they’d like to be that related to the content of their portrait. The idea for how these portraits have been presented as the photographs on the buildings came out of extended lockdown and things like Black Lives Matter, and people reclaiming public space and agency. It was just the surrealness of life at that time. By creating these works, it really convincingly looked like these portraits had been put on the side of the Tate. I found myself imagining worlds.
GA N
You’ve had residencies in the UK and in India— how does the art world there differ to here in Australia? TQ
My residencies in India and in the UK both personally and creatively impacted me. It was the first time I’ve been to India since I was a teenager at a very different time in my life. Going there and experiencing all this disconnection and connection, and being in a residency as the only artist there who’s actually culturally connected to the continent, and really feeling concretely like my privilege was so much— it really, really impacted the work that came out of there. I went to London, for a few days, a year before I applied for the residency, and I felt surprise and relief there—so many other South Asian queers close to my age are doing creative and political stuff that I could relate to, and there’s the intergenerationality of community that I don’t get to experience here at all in relation to being South Asian because of the recentness of immigration. GA N
The Australian art world is diversifying but it’s still largely grounded in notions of colonialism and whiteness. What kind of meaningful changes would you like to see? TQ
I went to a conference in London called ‘Decolonising the Cultural Institution’, and the question could not be answered because I don’t think it’s possible. I’m really trying to build stuff that is not reliant on the career model of commercial representation and institutional shows. I want more people to find other ways of creating outside of the institution where they’re still supported. I hope to straddle my contacts in the capital-A ‘Art World’ and to be able to connect with them from a more punk mindset. The makeup of institutions needs to change. When the institutions are choosing who to employ, they’re going to employ the most palatable people of colour anyway, and sometimes it’s almost more painful when there’s someone that looks like you in positions of power that are just empty of the capacity to make any change. I have a lot going for me to be able to do stuff outside of those spaces because I’ve been in them before, but that’s what I vote for—to dream new ways outside of institutions.

Kate Rohde envisions flora and fauna in glossy technicolour. Her whimsical resin and plaster sculptures are simultaneously natural, unnatural, and even supernatural. In a space shared with her fluffy ginger cat Lion and her 6-year-old son, Rohde’s warehouse in Melbourne’s Northcote is a busy site of creativity and play. She talks about the luxuries—and pitfalls—of having a large studio space, how her versatile materials allow her to swiftly create works for tight deadlines, and the strange wonder of growing up in the Dandenong Ranges.
PLACE
I am very lucky to have a huge studio space. I’ve been here for 13 years. I feel like I can sprawl and have multiple little projects on the go. My son also uses the studio as his play area and has a special Lego table. Because of the scale we can have quite a lot of equipment here on site, it’s very industrial. We don’t have to worry about being too noisy or too messy, it’s pretty ideal. This is basically my dream studio. The only thing is when it is this big, I do tend to accumulate more stuff than I probably want to over time. I sometimes need to check myself and do a Marie Kondo: “Does this spark joy? Should I get rid of this?” I make bigger things because I’ve got all this room. It’s funny because I’m really good friends with Troy Emery [a Melbourne sculpture artist and collaborator] and he has a very modestly sized studio with regular domestic-sized doors. He can’t make anything that wouldn’t fit through them, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to get it out of the studio. I have never had to contemplate that. K ATE ROHDE:
PROCESS
My works basically follow the same general construction. I make an armature out of a combination of steel, plywood and chicken wire and then pad it out. If I am going to cast the work in resin, I will first make a mould out of plasticine. K ATE ROHDE:
I then pigment the resin and pour it into the mould. If I am doing a plaster bandage, it is a matter of building up and wrapping the form. If it is something big, I will do a base layer and then add a detail layer. I will often finish smaller works with air-dried clay to give them colour, before sealing them. Everything feels like a real multi-step process! Sometimes it is quite fast and I make a work in a week, other times it takes months and feels like it will never end. During lockdown I was getting tired of the whole casting process and was looking for ways to speed it up—that’s when I started using plaster bandage. Once the plaster has set it becomes very sturdy and has good structural integrity. But if I don’t like it, I can cut it out with a jigsaw, it’s quite easy to adjust and edit. It’s quite versatile. I like to use simple materials and see how I can manipulate them in various ways. The works I did for the Horsham Regional Art Gallery [Myth Making is showing until 20 November] are pretty much all plaster bandage works. One of the reasons for using plaster is because it is more environmentally friendly. I also use some resins made from pine tree oil, rather than those that are petrochemical based. I am trying to move away from using resins, but I do still love the effect that they have.

PROJECTS
K ATE ROHDE: Troy [Emery], who I have known for 10-12
years, asked me a year ago if I was keen to do a show together. Coincidentally the director of Horsham Regional Art Gallery rang me about doing an exhibition soon after, so I asked to bring Troy along as well. The timeline was quite short in the end, I think I only had about six weeks to make all new work! Sometimes it’s better just to say yes and then figure it out later. The show was loosely based on the local landscape, the colours, and different aspects of the environment there. Nature is a common theme in my work. I grew up in the Dandenongs among all the trees and would see a lot of native animals, as well as feral species. There is a huge deer problem right now. To me it seems quite romantic to look out and see a herd of deer. But Mum says, “No no, they are terrible, they eat all my plants and destroy my garden.” As a child we had a wombat that lived out on the paddock, alongside possums and native birds, but also rabbits, foxes, and now deer. I’ve always been interested in nature being used as the basis for decoration. In the Dandenongs I lived near Burnham Beeches, an incredible abandoned Art Deco mansion with motifs based on native Australian flora and fauna. I remember it being this glorious, glamourous place but have since seen it slowly being reclaimed by nature. The Dandenongs is this weird mix of wild nature and strong European influences.
I am super excited about exhibiting in Mount Gambia at Cathleen Edkins Gallery later this year because I recently discovered that there are all these sinkholes and grottos up there. I love a grotto. It is very much in my aesthetic. They are a mix of the natural and human-made. I feel like I am very much inspired by grottos at the moment.

Politics of Portraiture While portraiture is one of the most ubiquitous genres, it has an urgent social undercurrent that contemporary artists are questioning and expanding with stunning effect. W R ITER
Briony Downes
From marble busts and intricately detailed paintings to the humble iPhone selfie, humans have had their likeness depicted in portraits since the form flourished in ancient Egypt over 5,000 years ago. At times, portraiture has been seen from empowering to humbling—but the form also speaks to whose image we value and why. And it’s these urgent aesthetic and social questions that contemporary Australian artists are navigating. During the 14th century, Renaissance Europe was a nucleus for portraiture, often commissioned by wealthy patrons to convey their physical appearance, status, family crests and property assets. Containing visual markers specific to their time, these portraits give us information about life, and how people were living it. Yet this is also a thin slice of life. Once reserved for royalty, the upper classes and religious icons, portraits are now prolifically available on a global scale. Almost primordially, we desire to see our likeness represented visually. Portraits convey who we are and where we come from, how we are perceived and how we want to be perceived, and where we belong. While conceptual and non-figurative art may have reigned during the 20th century, contemporary Australian artists are—at this very moment—creating and expanding portraiture. We have returned to the figurative, but it begs the question: why do portraits still resonate? Looking at Australian portraiture in the last century, one of the most significant evolutions is who is in
50
the portrait. Visiting an exhibition of official portraits in the early 1900s, one would most likely see a ‘who’s who’ of bearded white men with stern expressions. Women artists were indeed producing excellent work, but it is well established they were not given the public visibility of their male counterparts. Artists like Grace Crowley and Nora Heyson were painting striking portraits celebrating women as independent individuals rather than as submissive objects of beauty so often depicted by the male gaze. Spurred by the increasing public visibility of women, led by societal shifts like the suffragette movement and gendered occupational changes in World War I, women slowly began appearing more frequently in portraits and art awards like the Archibald Prize— a reflection of their changing status in society. Today, almost a century later, Melbournebased artist Yvette Coppersmith has been painting portraits for nearly two decades. Focusing much of her practice on women and the female gaze, self-portraits feature consistently. She has also painted portraits of women in positions of influence, most notably former president of the Australian Human Rights Commission, Gillian Triggs. For Coppersmith, portraiture—the question of who is being legitimised by the form—is a vehicle for activism and political change. She speaks of the connection between painter and subject, and the importance of who an artist chooses to depict. “Painting a portrait is an exchange between the artist and the sitter. There is a power dynamic there—in my work it’s the female gaze.

It’s about shifting the power of who you would expect to hold power in the art world. The space for expanding the narrative of representation is important too.” In 2018, Coppersmith became the tenth woman to win the Archibald Prize for her painting, Self-portrait, after George Lambert. Female representation as both artist and subject in prizes like the Archibald is improving. Even more significantly, Indigenous artists and artists of colour are becoming prevalent subjects, finalists and prize winners in contemporary Australian portraiture. As writer Jennifer Higgie pointed out in a 2021 conversation for Literary Hub, “Cultural critics and art historians aren’t just looking at the exclusions of women, they are also looking at the exclusions of people of colour, of people of different abilities, of people of different class. It’s very clear that art history is a work in progress.” Visibility in the public consciousness is key and Coppersmith cites artists like Gordon Bennett, Julie Dowling, Daniel Boyd, Vincent Namatjira, Juan Davila and Nora Heysen as driving transformations in Australian portraiture—both formally, and for who they choose to paint. “To have more diversity visible is one of the most empowering things you can do for people,” she says. “You open the imagination of others. That’s the power of portraiture. People need to be able to see themselves reflected as it opens a space of possibility and change.” Also based in Melbourne, artist Kate Beynon maintains a multidisciplinary practice that dips heavily into portraiture. A Hong Kong-born artist with Cantonese-Malaysian, Welsh and Nordic ancestries, Beynon incorporates fragments of cross-cultural identity, personal history and the supernatural into her portraits. In the self-portrait Hybrid Self with Kindred Spirits, 2019, Beynon paints herself surrounded by otherworldly creatures reminiscent of mythological animals. By visualising ancient stories and characters through a contemporary lens, she says she paints these portraits to, “explore a sense of self, family and identity, navigate challenging times and inhabit in-between spaces. My work is also connected to feminist thinking and ideas of kindred spirits coming together.” Sandra Bruce, director of collection and exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, is intrigued by how contemporary artists go beyond traditional modes of portraiture to “tell the stories of their subjects through their own visual language”. Expanding into methods of portraiture like sculpture, video and installation, the portrait is no longer limited to conventional ways of image making. “One outcome of this is a continuing blurring of the lines between portraits, figuration, conceptual work, and non-figuration,” says Bruce. She points to Yankunytjatjara artist, Kaylene Whiskey, as an artist who does
this exceptionally well. Known for creating vibrant paintings celebrating strong women and Aṉangu culture, Bruce says Whiskey, “has reinvigorated the tradition of incorporating overt symbolism within her practice, fully embedding such literal visual mechanisms throughout her signature style: one that is truly contemporary”. Like Beynon and Whiskey, Melbourne-based artist and writer Atong Atem has developed a distinct visual language to represent her experience of living in Australia. For Atem, this is heavily influenced by African diaspora and her experience of arriving in Australia as a refugee from South Sudan. While studying at university, Atem was unable to find images in art history reflecting her experiences. To remedy this, she began taking photographic portraits of herself and her community, actively adding a new voice to the dialogue of Australian portraiture. Resplendent with visual storytelling, Atem’s images weave together science fiction, fashion and cultural identity, and are stylistically informed by the studio portraits of African artists Malick Sidibe, Philip Kwame Apagya and Seydou Keita. She says of her self-portraits, “My practice has been about using photography as a means of exploring history, and specifically the history of visual language and representation. A lot of the history of portraiture seems to me quite similar to the history of still life painting and photography. For example, the way that objects are imbued with meaning due to their historic associations.” The recipient of the inaugural La Prairie Art Award, Atem’s photographic series, A yellow dress, a bouquet 1-5, 2022, challenges historical and colonial narratives of migration and movement, reflecting these ideas through self-portraiture imbued with elaborate make up, costume and bouquets of flowers from varied locations. As Coppersmith points out, the potency of portraiture as a vehicle to drive systemic change lies in how we visually depict ourselves and others. “There’s no more lasting document than a piece of art. A work of art is going to outlast other media. Newspapers might be archived but we don’t go back and look at them in the same way as something in an art gallery.” Speaking about the Archibald, she describes the award as “a barometer of how conservative Australia was and how far we’ve come”. Coppersmith continues, “For Blak Douglas to win this year with a portrait of Karla Dickens represents such a shift. It represents a change in conversation about national identity. There is power in having the Archibald audience. It’s huge, almost as big as a sport. It has the media attention to be able to harness that and direct the conversation where it needs to go.”

An artist who refuses to shy away from assertive truths, 2022 Archibald winner and Dhungatti artist Blak Douglas has been using portraiture as a form of activism for almost a decade. Criticising the lack of Indigenous representation in prizes like the Archibald, Douglas says, “Portraiture in Australia serves to uphold an ingrained conservatism in institutions. My first successful entry as a finalist was in 2015 with a portrait of Uncle Max Eulo and up until that year, 90% of past Archibald finalists and victors had been white male faces. Within my era, Craig Ruddy set the cat among the pigeons in bureaucracy with his Archibald winning portrait of David Gulpilil in 2004.” Portraits are not Douglas’s usual way of working, and yet each year he produces a painting of a prominent First Nations figure with the sole purpose of entering it into the Archibald. A five-time finalist, Douglas won the 2022 award with Moby Dickens, a three-metre-high painting of Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens carrying buckets of water through a flooded landscape. Looking closely, one can see the buckets have holes and storm clouds brew over a landscape inundated with muddy water. As a historical document, Douglas’s portrait communicates multiple issues—the lack of government support for artists, climate change, financial insecurity and social injustice. Douglas says, “Fundamentally this work is as ripe with metaphors as the government is with corruption. That’s where the Blak Douglas style of work comes from, there’s an aesthetic enticement and then it sucker punches you.” When Douglas won the award, it was the first time an Archibald winning painting had both an Indigenous artist and sitter. Stepping outside the gallery and taking portraits to public spaces is South Australian artist Peter Drew. In his AUSSIE poster series, Drew uses photographs from the Australian National Archive that capture people oppressed by racial restrictions of the White Australia Policy (introduced in 1901 by parliamentarians to curb immigration).
Despite many being born in Australia, most of the men, women and children depicted in the AUSSIE posters were historically deemed to be a nationality other than Australian due to their perceived ethnicity. Through this project Drew challenges the viewer to think deeply about what it means to be ‘Australian’, and preconceived ideas of national identity. With the potential to influence how we perceive others and to generate political change, unlike any other medium, portraiture reflects our past and our aspirations. The history and transformations of the form lay bare how much has changed—and how much hasn’t. Despite—or perhaps because of—their ubiquity, portraits are still among the most recognised forms of art across the globe. Is it at all surprising Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa—a portrait—is the most famous artwork in the world? Perhaps the answer lies in our inherent human need to be seen. To record our lived experience and the issues facing humanity at this moment in time. Seeing ourselves reflected ultimately brings us closer together by revealing a shared humanity, always reminding us that we are not alone. Yvette Coppersmith and Blak Douglas are showing in the Archibald Prize 2022 tour at Blue Mountains Cultural Centre (until 4 December) and Grafton Regional Gallery (17 December—29 January). Kate Beynon is showing in Tell Me A Story at Hawthorn Town Hall Gallery (until 17 December) and Archie100: A century of the Archibald Prize at Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (until 8 January 2023). Atong Atem is showing in WHO ARE YOU: Australian Portraiture at National Gallery of Victoria (until 29 January 2023).

20 Questions
with Jemima Wyman Palawa artist Jemima Wyman creates art on political formations of our time, from protests to resistance movements. Using techniques of collage, Wyman arranges images of resistance into beguiling formations. Ahead of Wyman’s inclusion in Air at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art, we asked her 20 questions.
W R ITER
Tiarney Miekus Jemima Wyman. photogr aph: tyler william parker. 56
Describe your practice in seven words? Visually diagramming the depth of protective coverings.
Your first art love?
Yayoi Kusama, for her pataphysical universes and love of infinity. When I first encountered her work in the 90s, I didn’t understand the nuance or breadth of her practice. I was initially interested in the psychedelic mapping of self, space, and the collective, in relation to her unique polka dot camouflage. But the political dimension of her Happenings and her presence in the 1960s New York City art scene means a lot to me now. I never thought I would actually get to see her work in-person, as I grew up in regional Queensland with no contemporary art until I travelled at age 15. So I cried when I encountered a mirror room at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. Since then, my work has been included in a group show with Kusama.
Best time of day to create?
5 to 7pm, when the day is shifting into night, especially straight after a cup of tea.
Organisation or chaos? Both, simultaneously!
The most interesting thing someone has said to you about your work?
It was actually a reductive and negative comment (that was false) about my work. However, that remark started a whole chain reaction in my practice, whereby I started to look for real world examples of masking and covering. Specifically, I look at how masking is used by people during conflict in order to have anonymity, while still desiring to be looked at and be heard.
As politically motivated as your works are, they’re also very enchanting—what’s the balance between a political image and an aesthetically appealing image?
Art’s strength is its ability to be more than one thing at a time. I don’t believe that politics and aesthetics are separate. I guess the balance comes when the viewer feels an awkwardness or internal conflict in relation to the work, and aren’t able to immediately make assumptions. I want viewers to have the experience of being more sensitive in their looking at protest. Representations of conflict can be seductive, and optical patterns have deeper meaning. Protesters are often using visually aggressive strategies to take up space and have their voice heard. Seduction is a device of warfare.
I’ve read you have a tremendous archive of protest images. Is this a digital or physical archive? And how is it organised?
It was an anti-war protest in Brisbane in 2001; I painted my face with text and wore a fluorescent pink flower dress.
My MAS-archive has been going since 2008; it’s housed both ways, although the digital is easier to track. I often use reverse image searches through Google or TinEye if there’s a problem tracking something. The physical archive is in clear boxes on shelves in my studio in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles.
What do you think intrigues or moves you about acts of resistance?
If you could collaborate with any artist, dead or alive, who would it be?
Do you remember the first protest you ever attended?
The employment of visual and performative strategies that can have ramifications for human rights. It’s a space where a mask is not just a theatrical device—it can be a protective tool, for anonymity and to filter out tear gas. I used to do performances as a part of my practice, but I think the space of protest is more interesting and complex. Protest is a high-risk performance. Protesters’ willingness to put their bodies on the line for their beliefs is always inspiring. I’m into the embodied-ness required by protest, and then the visual analysis of ingenious methods employed by protesters.
Do you find living between Brisbane and Los Angeles benefits your practice?
I find it both challenging and generative; definitely not easy.
Collaboration is hard! I have a collaborative practice with Anna Mayer spanning 17 years, called CamLab. Friendship is an important foundation for our collaboration; it allows us to take risks with humour and social engagement that we wouldn’t do on our own. It takes so long to get to an interesting place of making with someone else, where the work does more than either of you can consciously predict. We have an ongoing workshop project remaking feminist artworks related to sexual assault in miniature, called ‘Reguarding Room’.
An art experience that’s stuck with you?
Watching Cameron Jamie’s Kranky Klaus at the Whitney Museum, alone in a dark screening room. The experience was sublime and terrifying. I had a heightened sensitivity to my surroundings.

Quick advice for young artists?
Make sure your work entertains, excites and surprises you—because that’s the only way to make it sustainable over the decades.
Best colour to create with?
Yellow (and black) in relation to creating aposematic patterns.
Your formative artistic influences?
All my formative experience has been in educational settings. Working with Mark Webb at Queensland University of Technology and then studying at California Institute of the Arts with Leslie Dick, Christine Wertheim, Charles Gaines and Michael Asher, and all my fellow students.
You’ve created works based on the masks and outfits of protestors—like the balaclavas of Pussy Riot, for example. But have you made something wearable for protestors?
Generally, when I protest I show my face and have a sign. However, at Occupy Los Angeles on the steps of City Hall, CamLab wore a 20-metre inhabitable length of fabric that other protesters cut their own head holes into and occupied with us. At other demonstrations I have participated in artists’ projects. Recently, at an anti-abortion rally ‘Bans Off Our Bodies’ in Los Angeles, I shook one of Elana Mann’s protest rattles very loudly against right-wing religious groups who attended. At the Women’s March in Los Angeles I participated in Lara Schnitger’s ‘Suffragette City’ procession.
Do you see art itself as a form of protest? Occasionally.
What is it about masking and camouflage that interests you in relation to power?
I started making feminist works in the mid-90s using my own body for performances. To overcome the objectification of the female body when performing, I started to cloak, exaggerate, and extrude through fabric skins and masks. I was interested in how body coverings provided anonymity and power to the wearer in equalising the onlooker’s gaze. Patterned fabric and masks are a type of camouflage that attracts the eye but doesn’t compromise the wearer’s identity. So this train of thinking led me to look at real world instances of camouflage being used for survival by liberation armies, and then eventually global protest movements.
Your work in Air collages plumes of smoke from flares and deterrents during protests. Why these images?
I have been interested in protesters’ and liberation armies’ choice of ‘camouflage’ for a long time. What are the options for protective coverings in conflict? The smoke collages developed from observing the Yellow Vests movement and their use of smoke in protest. Also I remembered that the French origin of the word ‘camouflage’ is camouflet, meaning ‘whiff of smoke in the face’. The work wrestles with more than just these starting points . . .
When you follow protests across the world, relating to so many injustices, does it leave you feeling hopeful or despairing? A mix of despairing hope.

Another Version A renowned Australian painter, the many sides of Peter Booth have been unfolding since the 1960s in works of dark narrative. Now, a new survey traces what Booth tells us about humanity. W R ITER
Autumn Royal
“Every painting is always two paintings: the one you see, and the one you remember,” says American essayist and novelist SirI Hustvedt. The painting in question for me is Peter Booth’s Painting, 1977—also known as ‘Man with Dog’. I trace back almost 20 years to my 16-year-old self—slouching over a desk in Oberon High School’s photography studio. I am studying a photocopy of Booth’s Painting, 1977, and trying to understand why this depiction of an apocalyptic scene provides me with a sense of comfort. We are being taught visual composition in preparation for exams. I must express what I see in the painting and explain what it means. Staring back at me is a masculine figure with vermillion-coloured pupils and a determined resolve. The figure’s ragged grey hair is blown back by a cold wind and in a moment of vulnerability, he stops walking and places his hands into the pockets of his jacket. A white dog stands faithfully alongside. His eyes are the same colour as what may be the sun— but for me, it’s the moon. This man stoically leaves a chaotic and violent event with burning buildings behind him. One of this country’s foremost abstract, figurative and surrealist painters since the 1960s, Booth’s last Australian survey, Human/Nature, was in 2003 at the The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. It was the first exhibition I ever saw, and the first retrospective the NGV Australia ever held for a living artist.
60
Anthony Fitzpatrick, curator of Booth’s latest survey at TarraWarra Museum of Art, also saw the show. As he surmises, “Once seen, Booth is never forgotten.” I confess to Fitzpatrick that from the exhibition, I can only recall one of the works from the ‘Doorway’ series, 1970-1974. This renowned series of large, abstract works, heavily layered with monochrome colour, suggests an entry point of an open door; what’s beyond is ominous yet provokes marvel. As Fitzpatrick explains, Booth didn’t designate this name—preferring to leave his works untitled—but he has come to accept it. While the TarraWarra survey features a collection of Booth’s works from the 1970s to the 2000s, it opens with a work in the ‘Doorway’ series: Painting, 1974. It’s a canvas covered with shades of black. As the curator says, “Just near the top, there’s this very thin horizon line of red, and it feels like there’s this massive magma just behind the surface that’s starting to seep through.” I’m told that written on the back of some ‘Doorway’ paintings is an instruction: “Never hang more than six inches from the floor.” As Fitzpatrick explains, “If you hang the work a little lower for the viewer . . . it becomes more immersive, and this painting is the opening work in the exhibition with the idea of the doorway as a threshold.” right Peter Booth, Painting, 2013, oil on canvas, 153 x 112 cm. private collection. © peter booth.

This minimalism is compelling. “The ‘Doorway’ series could be about nothingness, or it could be a void,” says Fitzpatrick, “but voids are also where things are generated from—so they could be about an idea of fullness . . . you could almost see them as a kind of dark mirror.” In a rare interview with Australian artist, writer and curator Peter Hill, Booth humbly discusses how the ‘Doorway’ series was “influenced by what was going on in the art world at the time, in reduction, minimalism and colour field painting”. Throughout his epic career, spanning over six decades, Booth has purposely left many of his artworks without didacticism—trusting his audience to deduce their own meaning. “Booth doesn’t draw a distinction between abstract painting and figurative painting,” says Fitzpatrick. “What’s most important for Booth is what a painting can tell us about the human condition.” For me, Booth tells the possibilities of how painting can represent the emotional tension between real and imaginary worlds: to dare viewers to see part of themselves in both his abstract and figurative work. It is also related, at least for me,
to time passing. As Hustvedt writes, “The work of art we carry around with us is a memory, not like the original . . . it is possible to return to a piece of art years later and have a completely new experience.” But instead of returning to Painting, 1977, I’m turning to what may be viewed as the accompanying work, Painting, 1978—and included in the TarraWarra survey. This time, rather than seeing the front of the aforementioned man with vermillion-coloured pupils and a burning city behind him, we see his back profile and what lies in front of him: the cataclysmic scene he’s walking into. His right hand is in his pocket with his left hand slack by his side. This man must leave the world burning behind him and enter the unknown. He is confronted with an equally menacing scene of swarming volcanic craters and a laughing demonic figure watching on. He is ready to face another version of the self.

I met with Nadia Hernández and Jon Campbell at a Melbourne pub for a parma and a chat about their joint exhibition Speech Patterns at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). This is a thrilling meeting of two intergenerational artists who share an affinity for text, colour and line. Their works engage with identity, language, class, pop culture and diaspora in playful and generous paintings that excite the gaze. In a conversation premised on a shared love for humour and words, Hernández and Campbell talk about exhibiting together and the importance of cross-generational friendships.
DIEGO R A MIR EZ
What was the starting point for this show? JON CA MPBELL
It was the curator Robert Cook from AGWA who made contact with us, proposing this idea to put our works together. NA DI A HER NÁ NDEZ
I was a fan of yours Jon, as I had seen your show at MCA [Museum of Contemporary Art] and I really liked your work. Back then, I would have never imagined this situation. DR
It would have never crossed my mind to combine your practices. But once seen together, they share such a strong connection. JC
Yeah, and to me that is the sign of a good curator . . . We don’t see strong curatorship often. NH
What’s exciting is that now that we’ve met, and now that we’re having this show together, we can begin to uncover these links between us. Robert had seen all these links through interests or commonality and now we get to decipher them in our own way, through the different conversations we’re having. DR
Can you describe these links between your works?
NH
For me it is more about this new relationship— and that might reveal links or it might be its own thing. Or lead to other things. JC
Yeah, we are now thinking about doing a performance together as part of the show. And these collaborations are the real bonus of this whole thing, so it’s still pretty fresh. DR
Have you made a new collaborative work for the show? JC
We’re making a paste up by layering each other’s photocopied works, but we will decide on the actual form during install. NH
Yeah, it’s funny how a show is meant to be something that is resolved, but for me it feels like the beginning of what might come from knowing one another, potentially working together, having had our works greet each other. The exhibition is previous work, we’re not necessarily making new works. I see Speech Patterns as a beginning, a meeting. JC
Absolutely. We all have these histories and this is a nice opportunity to bring some of that out. I have some things going back to my postgrad student days in 1984, and with works like this you wonder if they will ever be shown, so it’s great they can be part of this.

“Over the past couple of years, I’ve been looking back at a loss of hope and trying to regain it . . .” — N A DI A H E R N Á N DE Z
DR
I really enjoy spending time with established artists because they have experience and have lived through interesting moments—but there’s often this strange unspoken barrier that doesn’t quite connect generations. JC
Maybe older artists have some chip on their shoulder about, “I’ve done all this, so I don’t want to do that and I’m not doing this.” Like, they believe it can be a retrograde step that is not good for their career or something. But come on! Do interesting things.
JC
Great opportunity to get some old works out—I’m loving that because they just sit in storage and when I look back at my student works, they look okay, but I go “Geez, they are rough!” It means things have actually changed, but they have a unique quality about them. DR
While you both use text in your practice, your sources are so different. Is this something you talked about? NH
JC
In his curatorial essay, Robert says that my body of work becomes a collective body. Since I am talking to family or protest, where I invite other people to contribute text to my work, I am thinking about how other groups of people play a role in one’s practice.
NH
I’ve thought about this myself because there’re all these voices and they are coming from all over the place. They can be personal or drawn from the public realm, speaking politically to the way you grew up and where you live now. Once you start thinking about this, you can see the relationship between our works, [but] it might not be the same experience. Say I am talking about the way I grew up in the 70s, that experience is quite different to Nadia’s.
NH
You were telling me you have a lot of younger friends Jon, right? Do you think some artists don’t step outside their own age bracket? Possibly, it could be that. But I don’t think it’s good for any artist to be siloed like that. Everyone’s got their own way of working and how they need to generate their own things. But for me it is more interesting to be out and about. As I see it, this is possibly reflected on their work as it goes on, when it runs out of steam a bit. Then again, there’re people in your generation that are not looking at anything and don’t have older friends. So, it goes both ways. Yeah, I have friends that are older but also younger because it is way more interesting. I think it’s very important to work cross-generationally in the arts . . . I want to see more community! Over the past couple of years, I’ve been looking back at a loss of hope and trying to regain it and reconfigure it as something completely different. I wonder how it will feel to see this collection of works from different moments in time in one space, it is like time travelling.

Puzzlements of Personhood With works exploring his Thai-Australian heritage, Nathan Beard’s latest solo show continues his nuanced understanding of identity as fluid and permeable. W R ITER
Neha Kale
Nathan Beard has long been wise to rituals, both strange and familiar, that create a sense of home. As a boy growing up in 90s Perth, his mother, who immigrated from Thailand, nurtured tropical plants in their suburban garden. He remembers shrines in the house, and time spent with women in the Thai community. His upbringing, he says, felt ordinary. “My mum’s garden was different—in the back of our house there would be banana palms, a portrait, herbs,” Beard says. “She had a really green thumb, but it was all about growing stuff we could use in the kitchen and that was before there were pots of coriander at Coles. What I had felt commonplace. But if I went to white schoolfriends’ houses, I [noticed] things like people not taking their shoes off when they went inside.” He takes a sip from his mug and gives a rueful laugh. “There was culture shock.” Culture isn’t fixed. Identity, contrary to popular opinion, can be slippery. Beard has spent over a decade thinking about his inheritances, both material and immaterial. When I speak to him, he’s in London, readying works for A Puzzlement—a solo show at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. He’s unguarded and expressive. He talks with his whole body. In a field that’s often self-serious, it’s easy to see why his photographs, sculptures and installations are infused with levity and play. Take Low Yield Fruit. Presented in March at Perth’s sweet pea gallery, the show featured jackfruits, mangosteen and durian—Thai exports often

dismissed by the West as spiky or smelly or not worth the effort. They balanced atop bronze Buddha heads, tenderly cast in silicon: mundane but monumental. In White Gilt 3.0, a finalist work in the 2020 Churchie Emerging Art Prize, a series of photographs depict a slender pair of hands that stretch and flex and bend. They evoke Beard’s relationship to wai, a customary Thai greeting. “I wanted to create a moodboard aesthetic,” he smiles. “The wai is just a hands-clasped gesture—but I remember as a kid, feeling slightly uncomfortable performing it. I wanted to explore how in Thai culture, hands confer so much meaning and nuance. And how that intersects with my confrontation with it in a Western context.” Beard, who studied at Curtin University, came to art via this Western context. We trade recollections of queuing up for Monet and Japan, an Art Gallery of Western Australia blockbuster exhibition, something of a cultural moment for Perth at the turn of the millennium. In 2013, his mother longed to reconnect with family. Her ancestral home in Nakhon Nayok, he says, had always loomed large in his imagination. When they returned together, it had been unoccupied for two decades. “There were photographs of my mum when she was 19, [relatives] who didn’t make it into our albums in Australia,” explains Beard. “It was frozen in time—everything was falling apart.” Obitus, 2014, was shaped by the texture of these photographs, the gaps they represented. In one image, his mother stands in a living room,

half-obscured by a plume of smoke. In another, a black-and-white depiction of sisters sees the sprouting of green moss. Memories can decay. Sometimes we embellish them. In Siamese Smize, which showed in 2018, Beard decorated images of his mother and her friends with Swarovski crystals, patterns evoking Thai silks and tourist kitsch. “It could be seen as a hodgepodge but there’s something really precious about just being encouraged to decorate an ornament,” he says. “It’s indebted to my mum’s taste.” In 2019, his mother passed. To cope, he made Tender Ruin—profound images that document the story of her funeral. Through A Puzzlement, he’s still grappling with what he describes as a rupture in his own chronology. He’s become interested in objects over images. In the archives of Kew Gardens, he was compelled by the orchid, a flower associated with Thailand, a symbol of colonial interest in the country. “You see how botanical interest in Southeast Asia overlaps with colonial expansion in the region,” he says. “[Thai] culture is always taking on different influences [although] Thailand was one of the only Southeast Asian nations that wasn’t colonised by the West.”
72
The show draws on references from the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and British Film Institute, including Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I. For Beard, the 1956 ‘chopsticks musical’, an orientalist portrayal of Siam and the West, was once a source of cultural pride. “It was like, ‘Hey, that’s an artefact depicting where my mum’s from,’” he laughs. For A Puzzlement, he will stack sculptural works based on artefacts in the British Museum on top of recreations of the shrine statues his mother brought to Australia. “It’s this transference of the way that personal history, pop culture and institutional space all tumble together in different timelines and significances,” he smiles. “Assemblage will be an aesthetic driving force.” He pauses. “The acknowledgement as far as I’m concerned is the fact that without my mum’s influence, this is what I have to rely on.”

Strange Times Soda Jerk’s latest work centres on the moments that have defined the last six years: a pandemic, the Trump era, QAnon, the war in Ukraine and climate disaster. W R ITER
Andy Butler
Soda Jerk are premiering their first video work in four years: Hello Dankness at Samstag Museum of Art in Adelaide. It’s a follow-up to their political fable Terror Nullius of 2018, which almost became overshadowed by its label of ‘un-Australian’ by its own funders. While this new work is deeply indebted to the trolling tonality of internet culture, it’s also very much rooted in cinema. It brings together Greek tragedy, stoner films and Broadway musicals to ruminate on the 2016 and 2020 United States elections—and the world we’ve lived through during the past six years. For two decades, Soda Jerk have delved into cinematic history to create virtuosic works of sampling. They trawl through countless hours of film and television history to break our understanding of the formation of popular culture. “There’s an incredible amount of waste built into the way that we work,” they explain. “Rampant variations of the same narrative and endless scenes and characters that never make the cut.” The siblings have worked as a duo since the beginning. Hello Dankness has been a monumental labour. After being commissioned in 2018 by Samstag, Soda Jerk set out to make a film responding to the Trump era, originally to premiere in October 2020: a month before the US elections. We all know what happened that year—Covid-19. “We almost had the narrative locked down in early 2020.” October passed, former US president Trump lost, the world got weirder— and we’re still coming to grips with it.

In the two intervening years they have centred on expanding their initial idea, all while an unreal reality unfurled around us in real-time: massive civil rights uprising through Black Lives Matter, a pandemic, QAnon conspiracy theories, the January 6 Capitol riots, the war in Ukraine, catastrophic climate disasters. Despite his ousting, the eeriness of Trump remained in his presidential absence, and the world has descended even further into a dystopic era. Hello Dankness responds to this world. Screening each day at 3:30pm, it’s part of a broader survey exhibition Open Sauce, which alongside Terror Nullius will also feature The Was, 2016, and The Time that Remains, 2012. Readers familiar with Soda Jerk through Terror Nullius will find connections between the film and Hello Dankness, insofar as they’re both political fables—although while Terror Nullius begins in 1975 and covers several decades of Australian history, Hello Dankness is a bent suburban musical that squeezes out our recent social and political horrors. Seeing these alongside The Was and The Time That Remains draws out a significant political worldview that has driven their practice from the beginning. “Our work has always been rooted in politics,” they tell me, even before their films explicitly included politicians as characters. “The challenge our practice poses to intellectual property law has always been the OG [original, authentic] driving force for the way we work. And our very first work,

“The moment that Kendall Jenner hands that Pepsi can to the cop, we pass some kind of cringe horizon from which we cannot return.” — S ODA J E R K
which was also our first feature film, Hollywood Burn [2006], was an anti-copyright, sci-fi, biblical epic that pitted Elvis Presley and a league of intergalactic video pirates against Moses and his ‘Copyright Commandments’.” Soda Jerk were borne of a resistance to cultural privatisation, one of the controls of our cultural landscape. They have been strategic in what they call the “seizing [of] privatised resources and politically appropriating them”. They are indebted to the early 2000s “freak positive” scene of the Sydney queer community. During a fraught time where gentrification was looming, there were illegal warehouse parties, the Sydney Broadway squats, healthy remix practices in hip-hop, and the now-defunct Electrofringe—all driven by communities that embrace civil disobedience. This all infiltrates the work. The Was is a psychedelic reframing of film and television culture of the 1980s and 1990s, made in collaboration with other virtuosic samplers, the music group The Avalanches. References in separate film worlds collide. Meanwhile The Time that Remains forms part of a series where actors meet alternative versions of themselves across the time and space of different films. In both, it’s as if the dream worlds of Hollywood are broken open and the real world streams in. “We’ve always thought of fiction films as documentaries,” they say, “in the sense that they are historical documentary that

are encrypted with the histories, experiences and politics of the eras in which they were made.” If one were to track why their films have grown from allegorical psychedelic trips to explicit political fables, it’s because we’re in even more fraught political times than the beginning of the 21st century. We’re in an era where people believe Oprah and Barack Obama eat babies, or the conspiracy that a US furniture company hides sex-trafficked children inside their closets (which explains why the furniture is so expensive). Soda Jerk are interested in the narratives created across the political spectrum at a time of such upheaval, including the astronomical increase in people tracking movements of the moon and stars, transposing the symbolism onto our personalities and lives. “The moment that Kendall Jenner hands that Pepsi can to the cop, we pass some kind of cringe horizon from which we cannot return,” they say, referring to the strange political epoch we find ourselves in, with an ad featuring Jenner giving a soft drink to a police officer at a protest. Soda Jerk are just trying to make sense of it all, like the rest of us.

MADE FLESH is a comprehensive survey encompassing the full scope of Yore’s work—appliqués, quilts, tapestry and needlework, banners and pendants, collage and assemblance, and largescale narrative and history paintings, as well as a major monographic publication. The exhibition will be constructed is maximally as a gesamtkunstwerk, presenting work over the past fifteen years, alongside a major new room-scaled sculptural installation to be developed for the exhibition. Paul Yore is one of Australia’s most interesting and consequential multidisciplinary contemporary artists. Born in Naarm/Melbourne in 1987, he lives and works on Gunaikurnai Country in Gippsland Victoria, and competed his studies in painting, archaeology and anthropology at Monash University in 2010. Yore has developed an ambitious art practice which draws on the traditions of classical Greek art, decorative Flemish and French tapestries, trashy popculture, gay porn, cartoons, psychedelia and the decorative semantic excesses of rococo style.

The project investigates a discrepancy, between modern built environment and indigenous knowledge, which form a precarious improvisation on place-making in Bayu Village. Historically, this village is the last civilization of Javanese culture, before the colonial takes over Indonesia and currently under threat of the natural resource exploitation. The works engage participation from the villager to make artworks based on local myth, story and spiritual belief reflected on space. The project aims to activate a memory of space, gaining a sense of belonging to resist the unavoidable change.

Showcasing select work by seven contemporary Indonesian women artists, EM I BODY uncovers personal stories and unspoken truths while revealing common states of pride, tenacity and personal endurance. Here, an oversized canvas and stilled imposing woman’s gaze, contrasts with the blurred silhouette and video of a woman behind glass painting herself in and out of the picture. Conversely, depictions of naively painted distorted figures act to reclaim the artist’s body and sexuality, while works created from carbon copies, and from human hair, symbolise the act of protection and nurturing between mother and child. Featuring Audya Amalia, Ayurika, Dita Gambiro, Erika Ernawan, I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (Murni), Theresia Agustina Sitompul (Tere) and Restu Ratnaningtyas, artists present visually compelling work in diverse media that examine women’s familial and personal relationships, sexuality, identity, nostalgia and memory. 14 December—3 February 2023 The Chosen Vessel Belinda Michael and Tiffany Titshall

Jayanto Tan, Rise A Little Pandan Lamington (A Little Ceng Beng), 2021, ceramic, joss paper. 11 November—15 January 2023 Ritual Ceng Beng Jayanto Tan Ritual Ceng Beng is an exhibition by artist Jayanto Tan celebrating the household ritual of coming together and offering food. Tan’s ceramic food offerings were originally created in conversation with family and friends during COVID-19 lockdowns, over time and vast distances. Whilst navigating personal racial attacks, gender identity, migration and familial narratives, Tan translates these charged conversations into ceramic still-lives—or ‘soul foods’ as the artist describes—which are ceremonially presented within the gallery space to continue the conversation. 11 November—27 November Proximity of connection: past, present and I Mita Chowdhury The Proximity of connection: past, present and I is the second solo exhibition by Bangladeshi-Australian visual artist, Mita Chowdhury. Connecting her present geographical and social location on Bunurong and Waddawurrung Country, Mita reflects on her sense of disconnect from the cultural landscapes of both her traditional Bangladeshi and Australian migrant-settler identities. Working with materials carefully selected for their metaphoric meaning and cultural specificity, she paints with botanic dyes created from native leaves and wattle referencing her experiences as a migrant on Country.

Art Directions 2022 celebrates the diversity and skills of Sunraysia’s arts educators.

Sometimes they also find time to paint, draw, photograph, film, sculpt, collage and weave and sew: this exhibition shares some of their artworks with our wider community.
Underneath our city arteries, the roadways, corridors and paths conceal a labyrinthine network of utilities and services. These invisible networks facilitate the complex delivery of services and communications essential to the smooth operation of a functioning, modern society. In a continual process of breakdown and repair, road maintenance workers spray-paint symbols (numbers, dots, lines, crosses and arrows), modern day hieroglyphics denoting repairs and modifications required. These indicate interventions where future work needs to take place. This palimpsest of gestures and marks (the signs and the signifiers that the French semiological and linguistic philosopher, Ferdinand de Saussure [1857–1913]) speak of time, incidents, accidents, obstructions, engagement and performance. They represent blemishes and glitches, metaphors for the breakdown of our systems under pandemic lockdown and other interrupters. They appear without reference or context, a secret language communicated in the public domain, but hermetically sealed outside the inner sanctum. The signs exist long after the repair works have been completed, muted evidence of some previous activity and purpose. 21 October—4 December En Masse Jennifer Britten En masse is an exploration of the present day meaning of the symbolic

Jennifer Britten, En masse - Telephone with scarf, 2013/2022, digital photograph. significance of the skull. Traditionally, the skull, has been seen as a symbol of death, mortality and the impossible attainment of immortality. Mainstream society has embraced the skull and its appeal, broadening its symbolic significance. Death remains central to its symbolic meaning, but can also signify warning, celebrations of life, wisdom and bravery. With the expansion of the acceptance of the skull, it has become a mass-produced object, its form adapted to be something of a fashionable yet functional collectable commodity. En masse, as a body of work, seeks to represent the mass-produced skull in a celebration of newfound meaning. Jennifer Britten is a multidisciplinary artist whose work centres around the meaning of mortality and death in a contemporary framework.

In a world where technology, spectacle and excess can sometimes eclipse quieter contemplation of the interconnectedness of nature and culture, how do we reconcile our position as a virus with shoes that makes cities and internets of ineffable complexity? Has nature been assimilated into the artifice of culture? Or is culture simply nature that humans produce? What role can art play in negotiating and mediating understandings and anxieties related to our place in the world? For this exhibition, art is implicated within the natures of phenomena itself. Here, the nature of appearing becomes inseparable from that which we think of as nature itself. Welcome to the megacosm.

Working flat on the ground, Mark responds in a tactile way to the near and the far: grasses and weedy plants, logs and trees, fences and farm houses, water and sky, the weather and the season, light and space. Mark’s work conveys a sense of being within the landscape. Landscape is experienced as environment.

The featured artists aim to deepen our understanding of the human psyche, our past and future, and our relationship to natural and constructed environments. Detailing accounts of love, conflict and the everyday, Tell Me a Story reveals the enduring power of the story to secure bonds between people and communities across space and time.

Maslankiewicz asks us to consider the impossible ideal image of beauty some of the most iconic works in art history imposed. “Today, we grapple with the perfect pictures we see in the media, just as these classic paintings must once have provoked . . . ” — Sarah Maslankiewicz. 14 December—1 March 2023 Creature Comforts Abi Thompson Thompson’s mixed-media drawings Creature Comforts, explore Australia’s inland landscapes’ unique textures, colours and patterns. These works reflect Thompson’s interest in their ancient relationship to time and place.

I never completely settle on an opinion. For me, the concept of Virtue Without Stain is impossible because my idea of virtuous is to acknowledge that I’m capable of both good and bad.

My work navigates the simultaneous sensations of acceptance and rejection of adopted and inherited cultures, which has been conditioned by autobiographical experiences within and between developed and developing worlds.” — Marikit Santiago.

The Dobell Drawing Prize #22—the 22nd exhibition in the Prize’s storied history—continues this tradition of fostering conversations around the changing role of drawing within contemporary art practice. The winner of the Dobell Drawing Prize is awarded $30,000 and their work becomes part of the National Art School Collection. The judging process is initially undertaken digitally by a panel of practising artists. In 2021, the panel included Michelle Belgiorno (artist and trustee at the SWDAF), Simon Cooper (artist and head of studies at the National Art School) and Lucy Culliton (artist and 2021 guest judge).

This National Art School touring exhibition showcases 43 of the 64 finalists from the 2021 Prize and includes Euan Macleod’s winning work, chosen by guest judge and acclaimed artist Lucy Culliton. Presenting a range of material approaches – from animation, collage and paper weaving, to charcoal, ink and watercolour – the exhibition demonstrates the remarkable vitality and scope of contemporary Australian drawing. William Dobell’s love of drawing was recognised in 1993 when the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation (SWDAF) initiated a drawing prize in his name at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. For twenty years, the annual Dobell Prize for Drawing encouraged excellence in drawing and draughtsmanship among Australian artists. Past winners include Kevin Connor, David Fairbairn, Virginia Grayson, Nicholas Harding, Ann Pollak, Gareth Sansom, Jan Senbergs, Garry Shead and Aida Tomescu. Building on the legacy of this respected award, the National Art School partnered with the SWDAF in 2019 to produce the biennial Dobell Drawing Prize.

Judith Reardon, Fantastic Weirdness #1, 2022, digital photograph, dimensions variable. Courtesy of the artist. 21 October—26 November An Exotic World of Fantastic Weirdness Judith Reardon Reardon’s practice is informed by the concept of collaboration between artists and the more-than-human world. After the devastation of the Black Summer Bushfires in 2019-20, Reardon interrogated the impact of the fires through a process of observation, recording, and interaction. Reardon’s discovery of an abundance of fungi led to the artist’s collaboration with Mycelium, a root-like branching structure of fungus which creates organic shapes and transforms in unexpected ways. Playfully documenting Mycelium’s actions through video and animation, the artist prompts audiences to reflect on the state of the environment and encourage a more sustainable connection with the natural world.

Melding Italian aesthetics with the raw and rough terrain of the Hawkesbury, Reisch has produced works that reflect those encounters. The exhibition conveys the socio-political context of the Hawkesbury where Reisch sensitively explores the relationship between the river and the encroaching effects of human occupation and industry. Reisch’s long-held fascination with the river can be gauged through the symbolic narratives his works present in this exhibition that features both paintings and drawings. The sub thematic division of The Mysterious Swimmer creates a synergy of the metaphysical spaces the artist employs within his overall practice.

The Mysterious Swimmer focuses on the practice of contemporary artist Ambrose Reisch; how it has developed and changed over a 30-year period. Reisch studied classical drawing in Florence, Italy, which edified his approach to painting. In 1988, Reisch settled in Brooklyn, New South Wales, there he found a visual language that drew upon subject matter from the rugged glamour he realised from the Hawkesbury River and its surrounds.

The winning acquisitive work from each section will be awarded $1,500 and join the Muswellbrook Shire Art Collection alongside key local artists including Max Watters, James Clifford and Viola Bromley herself.

Formwork is a duo exhibition by just such a pair. Individually, the works are fascinating and hold their own, yet together, it becomes a conversation between two artists who share the most defining relationship of people’s lives.’ - Caterina Leone.

These works are selected for their connection to Muswellbrook and the surrounding regions. The resulting exhibition, Manooka Park Halls, across paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture, provides a unique snapshot of the local arts community.

This survey catches a great Australian painter at the height of his powers. Born in 1952, Idris Murphy developed deep roots in the history of painting as well as a profound feeling for the natural environment. Murphy’s idiom transcends “either/ or”—it is indistinguishably landscape painting and painterly abstraction all at once. Arising from a sort of improvisatory incantation, the most vivid metaphors of land, space, light, mood and feeling seem to coalesce spontaneously and unbidden.

S.H. Ervin Gallery continued... Eveline Syme, Spowers & Syme presents the changing face of interwar Australia through the perspective of two remarkable women artists. The exhibition offers rare insight into the unlikely collaboration between the daughters of rival media families. Studying together in Paris and later with avant-garde printmaker Claude Flight in London, Ethel Spowers and Eveline Syme returned to the conservative art world of Australia – where they became enthusiastic exponents of modern art in Melbourne during the 1930s and ‘40s. Much-loved for their innovative approach to lino and woodcut techniques, Spowers & Syme showcases their dynamic approach through prints and drawings whose rhythmic patterns reflect the fast pace of the modern world through everyday observations of childhood themes, overseas travel and urban life. Spowers & Syme is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition supported by Visions of Australia, Major Patron David Thomas AM, and the Gordon Darling Foundation. Spowers & Syme is a Know My Name project.

Opens 3 December Yiribana Gallery The newly relocated Yiribana Gallery is the first gallery that visitors encounter in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ new building. The inaugural display is inspired by a word from the Aboriginal language of Sydney: burbangana. Meaning to ’take hold of my hand and help me up’, burbangana is akin to an invitation. It is imbued with generosity and care, and emphasises the connections between people. 3 December—mid 2023 The End of Imagination Adrián Villar Rojas In 2020, the Argentine-Peruvian artist Adrián Villar Rojas embarked on a remarkable sculptural experiment, which took place not in a physical studio but in times and places that no human has visited. Developing a new software system dubbed the ‘Time Engine’, he and his team created a series of intensely detailed and constantly evolving worlds, including those above, and placed virtual sculptures within them.

Consuelo Cavaniglia, untitled, 2022, timber, acrylic paint, kiln formed glass. Image courtesy of the artist and STATION, Melbourne/Naarm. 15 October—27 November through the door that holds you Consuelo Cavaniglia through the door that holds you presents a new body of work that expands upon Cavaniglia’s interest in the colour and optics of glass. The work of Consuelo Cavaniglia considers how we see and understand space. She is interested in how bodies inhabit spaces, often developing immersive installations that expose the ways in which the structure of a space situates and shapes us. The work unsettles the relationship between viewer and space using reflective and transparent materials and subtle structural devices. Her work challenges the perceptual expectations of forms and surfaces through angling, layering, and offsetting reflections and shadows. 15 October—27 November Out of Line Mel Douglas Out of Line explores the potential and flexibility of glass as a material for drawing. In her words, “objects and drawings are often thought of as two separate entities. My works explore and interweave the creative possibilities of this liminal space, where the form is not just a support for drawing; but a three-dimensional drawing itself. Using the unique properties of the material and the rich potential of mark-making on and with glass, I am using line to inform, define and enable three-dimensional space”. 15 October—27 November Falling into Space Liam Fleming Falling into Space presents a new body of work resulting from further experiments with coldworking techniques, giving over to chance in the workshop and a philosophical exploration of the kinds of objects and qualities afforded by the medium of glass, which can take on different behaviours and potentials
during fire polishing, fusing, and slumping. Fleming’s distinctive vocabulary of forms and techniques test the constraints of glassblowing while exploring the complicated relationship between craft, art, design and architecture. These concerns are evident in his beguiling objects that capture a moment of transformation through the “controlled demolition” of mould-blown forms. They are captivating in demonstrating expert technique, uncertainty, and imperfection. 15 October—27 November awash Louis Grant awash brings together a collection of new works in which Grant pairs back materials to their pure, honest form, allowing the glass medium to be both fragile and robust. For Grant, the glass forms are an abstract exploration of queer experience and ideas of love, loss, celebration, desire, shame, nostalgia, and melancholy. Louis Grant works between studio glass and interdisciplinary practice, exploring the potential of traditional craft skills to push the boundaries of glass making and contemporary sculpture.

Hypnotised by tiny details, textures and patterns of the natural world, Shannon documents the changing seasons of local bushland and curb-side gardens. Persephone, Queen of the Underworld and Goddess of Spring, symbolises the death and regeneration of nature and ourselves. A reminder to find balance and accept the ebb and flow. For Shannon it’s all about the flowers, which seemingly mimic moments of personal growth, change, love, loss and hope. Each piece is a celebration of discovery, tiny blessings and daily rituals; and an exploration of the incomparable elegance and chaos of nature.

Peering into the swirling mists of the ‘Canberra bubble’ our talented political cartoonists have illuminated the complex issues of 2021’s ‘new normal’—a year peppered with big reports, unexpected outcomes and floundering forecasts. From COVID-19 case numbers,

Now in the 2020s, this foundational echo is going back and forth. No longer a one-sided, outward calling, it reverberates multi-dimensionally within wider Australian and global communities.

Place, in Brisbane, is not a static thing. We are at a crucial point in Brisbane’s urban development, with extreme changes to the city predicted over the next decade.

This collection is not to be missed. All of Dale’s
With the city we know shifting so rapidly, this is the ideal moment to ask—what makes a place? Which sites are significant for individuals and communities and why? Are the landmarks we recognise as characterising the city today the same landmarks we’ll see in the future? And can memories make a place?

Private collection, Brisbane. 27 September—10 September 2023 Love in Life & Art William Robinson While William Robinson is not widely recognised for depicting the human form in art, one figure is central to his practice and represents the most consistent subject in his oeuvre: his wife Shirley. Love in Life & Art explores how the domestic and aesthetic are intrinsically linked, and how the figure of Shirley Robinson (née Rees, 1936–2022), encapsulates essential aspects of his vision. These artworks are not only visual meditations on the environment in which the artist lives; rather, they pay homage to the broader rhythms of life, nature and love—but, most importantly, to Shirley.

One exhibition each year enables Umbrella’s artist members to participate and exhibit their work. Following recent lofty themes which captured the zeitgeist, Cats vs Dogs was inspired by banter around whether dogs or cats are better. The exhibition theme was intended to lighten the mood, inviting members to be inspired by the fun, literal animal terms or more ‘highbrow’ interpretations, including concepts or critiques of polarity, politics or binary forces.

on her research into colour and optics. Sheets of variously coloured glass will float seamlessly in the space. As individual sheets, the glass forms a field of one colour, but multiple sheets hung together challenge our understanding of sight, colour, space and scale. This work explores the boundaries of reality and illusion, suggesting that our understanding of forms and spaces is tied to perception. This work was developed through a residency held in 2022 at Canberra Glassworks, which allowed her to explore the use of handmade glass for the first time. 5 October—27 November Hannah Gason Canberra based artist Hannah Gason will create a body of new work that continues Gason’s series looking at colour, light and pattern. Wall and floor works will consist of small tiles arranged to form patterns that play with repetition and disruption. Each flat tile is unique and through careful arrangement, the subtle tonal differences give the impression of depth. The final compositions suggest a constantly moving, changing surface.

Across time and culture humans have used shimmer and shine to denote preciousness, sacredness, and value, risking much to unearth gemstones and precious metals.

In the upstairs gallery religious myths prevail with references to pagan beliefs along with Eastern and Western religious figures such as Buddha and Mary the mother of Jesus. Here in the stillness of the images one finds a mind at play, possibly dancing, in the search for threads of wisdom and balance in the complexity of our current world.

It is a biennial event celebrating emerging, mid-career and established artists and their connection to landscape and place. The word ‘landscape’ includes all possible aspects of the natural, rural, and urban landscape. This year, Hahndorf Academy’s Heysen Prize for Landscape has a focus on the environment and climate concerns. In an era of rapid climate change, battling fire and flood, drought and destruction, Australia has one of the highest loss of plant and animal species in the world. The Heysen Prize for Landscape 2022 invites artists to express their deep connection with—or concern for—protecting the Australian environment and to pay homage to Hans Heysen as an artist and environmentalist.

At times this leads to a form of collective mental paralysis. Art has a way of identifying lived experience and gives form to unnamed emotions; for example, the stasis of Dürer’s androgenous angel who listlessly takes in a shooting comet (Melencolia I, 1514). This exhibition is a cry to break the ice, to find solace within events and to find a moment’s peace. It embraces the creative process as a positive human act.

The works have a link to Perth’s theatre culture as the starting point for the project, and some of the visual imagery present in the works, has been gathered from the backstage spaces of the Heath Ledger Theatre, The Octagon Theatre and The Sunset Cultural Precinct in Dalkeith.

Over four decades Robertson’s painting practice has continued to evolve—utilising traditional aspects of the craft; while contemplating the limits of representation and proposing new ways of visualising the world in all its mystery.

Whilst Hans’ figures and materials are classic and solid, Joan’s are contemporary, light and translucent—but both are interlaced with a quirky sense of humour and wry questioning of personal and societal values.

24 September—26 February 2023 The Sum of Us
28 October—8 January 2023 Las Hormigas/The Ants Pilar Mata Dupont
The Sum of Us celebrates the work of a group of students brought together by a botanical art course in Perth with artist and fellow student Margaret Oversby. The group continued to meet with Margaret arranging sessions in Bullsbrook to allow the pursuit of their passion and exploration of various styles of botanical art. Margaret has since passed away. This exhibition acknowledges her role in the formation of this diverse, supportive, and talented group, with a selection of her works on display.
Latinx visual artist and filmmaker Pilar Mata Dupont presents a vivid exploration of intergenerational storytelling and the fragmentation of memory in Las Hormigas/The Ants told across video, photography, and performance. Influenced by her background and upbringing in the settler-colonial states of Brunei, Argentina and Australia, Mata Dupont uses dark, absurdist humour to reflect on her Argentinian family’s complicated past, and how trauma manifests over large geographical and temporal distances. Las Hormigas
Boorloo (Perth) multidisciplinary artist Nathan Beard present a mischievous reflection on Thai diasporic identity and its construction in A Puzzlement.

Drawing on his Australian-Thai heritage, the artist places items from his own family archive alongside broader cultural objects. Juxtaposing his mother’s Buddhist shrine statues and 90’s fast-food Thaithemed toys, Beard playfully interrogates ideas of authenticity and the complex influences of colonial archives, pop culture, and collective memory in forming western characterisations of ‘Thainess’. The exhibition presents works created during Beard’s 2022 residency at ACME 225

2 November—19 November Memory Card Ellen Norrish Memory Card is the latest solo exhibition from West Australian figurative painter Ellen Norrish. Exploring the simultaneous pleasure and problem of excessive image accumulation, this new series of oil paintings respond to the artist’s own digital hoard of travel photos, taken on a Nikon D70 camera between 2010 and 2014. Of these 11,400 jpegs, the exhibition features a minute sample reproduced as painted landscapes, portraits and interiors from abroad - captured at a time when DSLR cameras were the primary tool of travel photography with the practice having not yet transitioned to smartphones. Memory Card offers viewers an intriguing set of paintings of disparate subjects, small worlds that can only be connected by undisclosed personal narratives of the artist traveling in her late teens and early 20s. Exhibited together, the various subjects offer a multifaceted portrait, one view of life and its accumulated imagery. 2 November—19 November Orange & Mango Wade Taylor
Ellen Norrish, Of Daniel Buren’s “Echoes, Works in situ” 2011, 2022, oil on board, 46 x 61 cm.

An ode to backyard parties, boozy evenings and late-night fishing expeditions, Taylor’s subjects are both winners and losers that stare the viewer down through posturing and prowess. Neither critique nor celebration, Orange & Mango holds a mirror up to Australian lad culture.
In Orange & Mango, Wade Taylor brings together a collection of urban Australian scenes and nocturnal vignettes, a portrait of projected masculinity as seen through
