  • Political in the Visual Arts Catriona Moore and Catherine Speck
    CHAPTER 5 How the personal became (and remains) political in the visual arts Catriona Moore and Catherine Speck Second-wave feminism ushered in major changes in the visual arts around the idea that the personal is political. It introduced radically new content, materials and forms of art practice that are now characterised as central to postmodern and contemporary art. Moreover, longstanding feminist exercises in ‘personal-political’ consciousness-raising spearheaded the current use of art as a testing ground for various social interventions and participatory collaborations known as ‘social practice’ both in and outside of the art gallery.1 Times change, however, and contemporary feminism understands the ‘personal’ and the ‘political’ a little differently today. The fragmentation of women’s liberation, debates around essentialism within feminist art and academic circles, and institutional changes within the art world have prompted different processes and expressions of personal-political consciousness-raising than those that were so central to the early elaboration of feminist aesthetics. Moreover, the exploration and analysis of women’s shared personal experiences now also identify differences among women—cultural, racial, ethnic and class differences—in order to 1 On-Curating.org journal editor Michael Birchall cites examples such as EVA International (2012), the 7th Berlin Biennial and Documenta 13 that reflect overt and covert political ideas. Birchall outlined this feminist connection at the Curating Feminism symposium, A Contemporary Art and Feminism event co-hosted by Sydney College of the Arts, School of Letters, Arts and Media, and The Power Institute, University of Sydney, 23–26 October 2014. 85 EVERYDAY REVOLUTIONS serve more inclusive, intersectional cultural and political alliances.

    THURSDAY 13 MAY – SUNDAY 18 JULY 2010 UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY KENT STATE: FOUR DECADES LATER University Art Gallery, University of Sydney Thursday 13 May – Sunday 18 July 2010 In May 1970 the artist Richard Hamilton set up a camera in front of TV for a week. He recalled: Every night I sat watching with a shutter-release in my hand. If something interesting happened I snapped it … In the middle of the week the shooting of students by National Guardsmen occurred at Kent State University. This tragic event produced the most powerful images that emerged from the camera, yet I felt a reluctance to use any of them. It was too terrible an incident in American history to submit to arty treatment. Yet there it was in my hand, by chance – I didn’t really choose the subject, it offered itself. It seemed right, too that art could help to keep the shame in our minds; the wide distribution of a large edition print might be the strongest indictment I could make. Kent State is the most onerous of all the prints I have made. Without anticipating the problems I chose to layer many transparent colours over each other to build the image from the overlaps and fringes ... The Kent State student depicted, Dean Kahler, was not killed. He suffered spinal injuries and is paralysed. Hamilton’s influential work Kent State was a massive undertaking, a silkscreen print edition of 5,000 from 13 stencils. Sydney architect and writer Donald Gazzard donated the work to the University of Sydney in 1970.

  • Jill Posters Will Be Prosecuted: Australia's Women-Only Print Collectives from the 1970S and 1980S
    Ms Louise Mayhew PhD candidate College of Fine Arts University of New South Wales PhD topic: Female art collectives and collaborations in Australia c.1970 – 2010. Jill Posters Will Be Prosecuted: Australia’s women-only print collectives from the 1970s and 1980s. The words of time were: revolution, liberation, demands, rights, organize, overthrow, smash, struggle, collective, solidarity, sexism, racism... (Kenyon 1995, 36). The legacy of Earthworks Poster Collective (1972–80), a highly influential and impressively productive screenprinting group, is recognised in such collectives as Lucifoil (1980–83), Megalo (1980–present) and Redback Graphix (1980–94). Cross- fertilisation and skills sharing greatly influenced the growth and development of poster collectives during this era. Many individuals passed through the University of Sydney’s Tin Sheds Art Workshop, home to Earthworks, and learnt printmaking. As they moved around Australia, visiting Indigenous communities, undertaking artist residencies and working at new universities, they took the skills and ideologies learnt with them. Earthworks is credited with establishing in poster collectives an identifiably collective ethos, realised through open access facilities, group decision making, equal rates of pay, and a commitment to voicing social, political and local community concerns.1 Additionally Earthworks functioned precariously within and outside the boundaries of the art world, higher education institutions and funding bodies. This unstable positioning was inherited by successive collectives, that operated between the realms of art and advertising, had an uneasy relationship with the term ‘artist’, and struggled to meet costs or funding demands. Although the connection with Earthworks is well established, alternative origins for the emergence of women-only poster collectives can be found in second-wave feminism.
