Annual Report BACK COVER FOLD FRONT COVER / ANNUAL REPORT / COVER FEATURE ARTIST Alan CONSTABLE Born: Melbourne 1956 Alan Constable’s work is multi-disciplinary, ranging from drawing and painting to ceramic sculpture. He is most renowned for his ceramic cameras, which the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne recognised when they acquired thirteen of Constable’s cameras that they presented in Melbourne Now in 2014. His ceramic sculptures, which he began developing in 2007, reflects his life-long fascination with old cameras, which started at the age of eight when he would make replicas from cardboard cereal boxes. Constable’s finger impressions can be seen clearly on the clay surface, leaving the mark of the maker as a lasting imprint. Coinciding with his 3D practice, Constable maintains a strong painting and drawing practice, focusing on imagery from newspapers and magazines as his points of reference. Constable has been a regular studio artist at Arts Project Australia since 1991. Alongside regular selection in group exhibitions throughout Australia, Constable has presented in a number of solo exhibitions including Alan Constable: Close–Up, Andrew Baker Art Dealer, Brisbane, 2015; Alan Constable, Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney, 2015; Alan Constable/Ten Cameras (curated by Ricky Swallow), South Willard, Los Angeles, 2013; Viewfinder: Alan Constable Survey, Arts Project Australia, Melbourne, 2011; Alan Constable, Stills Gallery, Sydney, 2011; and Alan Constable Clay Cameras, Helen Gory Galerie, Melbourne, 2009. Constable has been a finalist in a number of prominent art awards including, most recently, the Victoria Craft Award, Craft, Melbourne. His work is held in the collection of The Museum of Everything, London, as well as many prominent public collections in Australia including Gold Coast City Gallery, Surfers Paradise; Deakin University, Melbourne; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Orange Regional Gallery, Orange.

  • Alan Constable’S Lifelong Interest in Cameras Began Around the Age of Eight, When He Started Using Scraps of Paper and Cardboard from Cereal Boxes to Fashion His Own
    A LAN CONSTABLE C LOSE- UP A LAN CONSTABLE—CLOSE- UP Alan Constable’s lifelong interest in cameras began around the age of eight, when he started using scraps of paper and cardboard from cereal boxes to fashion his own. It may come as a surprise to people unfamiliar with Alan’s story to learn that he is legally blind (with limited tunnel-vision); and also deaf, which makes his world all the more internal and contained. As observers we can only project our own perspectives onto Alan's work, but one could speculate that his physical challenges have defined his extraordinary artistic abilities. Last year I was fortunate enough to work with Alan on a collaboration entitled Polaroid Project, which I initiated together with Arts Project Australia in Melbourne. Working on this exhibition was a memorable experience and a privilege that gave me an insight into Alan’s studio practice rarely offered to others. Polaroid Project later toured to The Armory in New York City, and was shown at the Fleisher/Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia, further cementing Alan’s growing international profile. Although not a collaboration in the traditional sense, the project provided an opportunity to present two process- based artists who both work from the readymade. The result was a project with very different visual outcomes. The Polaroid boxes I created were fastidiously crafted and painted to replicate exactly the colour and scale (to the millimetre) of the original packaging. Minus text and incidental imagery, they amplified the abstract qualities of the boxes, allowing a space for viewers to trigger their own memories and narratives related to the Polaroid product.
