  • On Site : Installations by Tom Arthur
    ON SITE INSTALLATIONS BY TOM ARTHUR JULIE BROWN ELIZABETH GOWER HOSSEIN VALAMANESH Tasmanian School of Art Gallery, This exhibition was assisted by the University of Tasmania, Commonwealth Government through the Visual Mt Nelson Campus, Hobart, Arts Board, Australia Council. September 4 - October 27, 1984 ISBN 0 85901 258 1 p.l PREFACE Fundamental to the Tasmanian School of Art Gallery Committee's exhibition policy is the commitment to exhibit work from outside Tas­ mania. Normally the selected works are re­ ceived in crates, unpacked and displayed. Occasionally the artist may be present to install the work or to participate in con­ current lectures/seminars. The latter can give greater meaning to the completed work, but rarely is there an opportunity to witness the work in progress. The Gallery exists within an art school, and this exhibition was intended to extend the normal educative role of exhibitions. Each artist spent approximately two weeks "in residence", developing and completing a work. The piece didn't have to be "site specific", so preliminary work could commence prior to arrival. However, it was essential that further evolution took place on site. There was no intended thematic link between the four artists; buf what they had in common was a body of work which illustrated an ability to participate within the exhibition's frame­ work and an involvement in a range of disciplines (without any being easily cate­ gorized within any particular discipline). The diversity proved to be a considerable asset. Not only did the audience gain an insight into the range of conceptual posi­ tions of four professional artists, but also into the individual pre-occupations and idio­ syncracies of their particular art practice.

  • Exhibiting Hope and Creating Social Inclusion in Our Own Ways
    Exhibiting hope and creating social inclusion in our own ways AN ART EXHIBIT BY AFGHAN YOUTH OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA A while ago, we heard a document created by young women at the Muslim Women’s Association of South Australia. It was called, ‘We try not to take people’s hate into our hearts’: Hi. We’re a group of young Muslim women who live here in Adelaide. We’re interested in exchanging ideas and stories about ways of dealing with weird experiences like being stared at, being yelled at by random strangers driving by in their cars, or other strange stuff that happens here and other places. We’ve included here some of our stories and skills we’ve developed. We’d been keen to hear your ideas! There are a few different ways that we try not to take people’s hate into our hearts … When we heard these young women’s stories we said: “It’s amazing! Fantastic! We loved it. Thank you for sharing your words! We are a group of young Afghanis, both young women and young men. Your words made a good contact with our lives. The experiences were really familiar. Some of us are artists and photographers. We talked about how some of your stories could be turned into art or paintings or drawings. Would you be interested in this? Maybe we could work on this together?” And so we have! In this exhibit you will find our photography, paintings, calligraphy and songs. We hope you like them! About this project Since July 2016, Afghan Youth of South Australia (through Lutheran Community Care) has been involved in a ‘Contributing to Social Cohesion and Harmony’ project coordinated by Dulwich Centre Foundation.

  • The Oneiric Veil in Contemporary Australian Art Kelly Devrome
    The Oneiric Veil in Contemporary Australian Art hilm (Dream) Kelly Devrome Bachelor of Visual Art (Fine Art) Diploma of Education (Secondary) Master of Arts (Research) This exegesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy University of Ballarat P.O Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria 3353 Australia Submitted, June 2011 The Oneiric Veil in Contemporary Australian Art researches the use of the veil in modernist art and its generative capacity to visually evoke an oneiric space. The oneiric veil is a lens through which current conceptual approaches and practices in contemporary visual art can be understood. More precisely, the oneiric veil delineates an intermediary space present in current visual culture. Therefore, the research surveys the veil sign and applications of it employed by artists from an extended historical period to demonstrate connections that link the veil to the oneiric through traditional practice and theoretical concerns. As a painter and drawer, I use the modernist veil, including the grid and shadow, to evoke a field and convey a multiplicity of meaning pertaining to site-specificity. The veil functions to create a filtered and intermediary effect characteristic of the physicality of a site-specific space. I examine the modernist veil with regard to the veiling applications used in painting to produce a metaphysical space whereby the formal uses of binary oppositions have been explicitly fore-grounded. To demonstrate how the veil produces multiplicity, I examine how the modernist veil generates the presence of an oneiric space and links to poststructuralist theory. This conceptual underpinning of the oneiric, and its link to the modernist framework, will contribute a new interpretive frame to the visual space of contemporary art today.

  • Hossein Valamanesh Heart of the Fire
    Hossein Valamanesh Heart of the Fire I RECALL THAT, since the age of fifteen when I decided to my parents’ horror to go to Art School, I have stepped into the path of love. Not thinking too much about the consequences, I have followed my passion. Love is one of the most used and misused words. Buddha talks about how we confuse love and desire or attachment. For us mortals, it is likely we can only learn from experience. In my mind, devotion is another matter. I feel that this concept can carry aspects of religiosity and blind faith that can go against love and freedom. When I was young, in Iran in the 1960s, I was concerned with social and political change, and Marxism seemed to show the way. In the late 1970s I became interested in studying Buddhism. In both instances I felt I was devoted to these ideas, and as my devotion became stronger I became more dogmatic. I felt that I was losing the freedom that I mentioned earlier but as I let go of these ideas I learned more from them. Over the past 45 years I have carried with me a book of selected poems by Rumi and, no matter what my state of mind or beliefs at the time, these poems that talk of love have guided and inspired me. Through his poetry Rumi encourages us to follow the path of love and to go into the heart of the fire like the moth. Being an artist is a little like that as we follow our passion and practice what we love.
