Preview the exhibition on our website: www.diggins.com.au Art in Australia 14 21st Biennale of Sydney The latest iteration of the Biennale of Sydney presents the work of 70 artists and artist collectives from Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, South America and Europe at seven venues across the city: the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW), Artspace, Carriageworks, Cockatoo Island, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA), Sydney Opera House and 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art until 11 June 2018. The works form personal responses to the curatorial theme ‘SUPERPOSITION: Equilibrium & Engagement’, which focuses on multi-layered perspectives of the world and its histories that simultaneously interact and create balance. Among the highlights are Ai Weiwei’s Crystal Ball (2017) at Artspace, examining the complex future of our world in the face of the current global humanitarian crisis; Marco Fusinato’s Constellations (2015/2018) at Carriageworks inviting visitors to hit a home run by striking a baseball bat against a white wall as microphones transmit 120db through the gallery space – intensifying the impact and emotion; Tom Nicholson’s addition to Untitled wall drawing (2009- 2018) – a matrix of painstakingly handwritten words narrating a geopolitical history of the 20th century at the MCA; Oliver Beer’s ongoing ‘Resonance Project’ at Sydney Opera House exploring the complex relationship between sound and space; and Akira Takayama’s ‘Our Songs – Sydney Kabuki Project’ at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art – a recording of volunteers aged 5-94 years who expressed their stories through song and prose in different languages. Public programs include daily guided-tours, artist and curator-led talks, lectures, workshops, performances, panels and screenings as well as after-hours events.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.

  • Executive Board Meeting 11 Aug 2009
    Executive Board Meeting 11 Aug 2009 Agenda item no. 9 Prepared by: Don McMichael, Membership Secretary Date: 7 August 2009 Topic: Membership Report 1. Recommendations 1.1 That the new members admitted by the Membership Secretary, listed in Attachment 1, be approved by the Board; 1.2 That the Board decide what course of action it wishes to follow in relation to new PIMA Board members; and 1.3 That the membership statistics in Attachment 2 be noted. 2. Background 2.1 Dr Joanna Wills did not seek re-election as Membership Secretary at the Annual General Meeting. Do Don McMichael was elected to this position. 2.2 Processing of membership applications and renewals, banking of subscriptions, issuing of receipts and dispatch of stickers to renewing members continues to be done efficiently by Office Manager Ms Lee Scott. Persons/Institutions applying for membership for the first time are referred to the Membership Secretary for approval before being invoiced. Upon payment of their subscription, a new member’s details are advised to ICOM headquarters, from where ICOM cards and current year stickers are issued. 2.3 Membership is down by about 70 from the 2008 total, but some additional renewals and new memberships are in process and more will probably come in during the next few months, especially as unfinancial or lapsed members plan their overseas travel for the summer. The numbers as at 31 July 2009 compared with the numbers at end 2008 are set out in the table at Attachment 2. 3. Issues 3.1 Because the ICOM Rules for National Committees require admissions to membership of ICOM to be approved by the Executive of the National Committee, the names and details of new members admitted by the Membership Secretary since the April 2009 are set out in Attachment 1.

  • Diploma Lecture Series 2011 Art and Australia Ll: European Preludes and Parallels Cubism and Australian Art from 1940 Lesley
    Diploma Lecture Series 2011 Art and Australia ll: European Preludes and Parallels Cubism and Australian art from 1940 Lesley Harding 8 / 9 June 2011 Lecture summary: This lecture will consider the impact of the revolutionary and transformative movement of Cubism on Australian art from the 1940s to the present day. Described in 1912 by French poet and commentator Guillaume Apollinaire as ‘not an art of imitation, but one of conception’, Cubism irreversibly altered art’s relationship to visual reality. ‘I paint things as I think them, not as see them’, Picasso said. By its very nature, Cubism is characterised by variation and change. Although there was no cubist movement in Australia per se, its appearance in Australian art parallels its uptake and re-interpretation by artists internationally. By viewing Cubism as a set of stylistic and conceptual discoveries, rather than as a style defined by a particular period, we can trace the adaptation and evolution of cubist ideas and influences over successive decades and uncover its ongoing relevance to Australian art. In the early years, an interest in Cubism signaled a desire to be modern, a vanguard position taken against the parochial predominance of landscape painting in Australia at that time. While early Cubism broke down the pictorial subject, resulting in fragmentary images with multiple viewpoints and overlapping planes, the later inclusion of collage elements such as newsprint and wallpaper into paintings (often referred to as Synthetic Cubism) was the beginning of the idea that real objects could be incorporated into artworks, which opened up new possibilities for the treatment of reality in art.
