When provided with wonderful guidance from their committed teachers and opportunities to explore their interests and develop their talents, the outcomes are outstanding. The Lauriston Arts Association plays an important role in supporting the Arts at Lauriston. Through their generous support our teachers are able to provide new avenues for exploration of visual and performing arts. Through the active involvement of parents at our School, they are wonderful role models in conveying to our students the many benefits of life-long involvement in art and the performing arts. Our Kaleidoscope of Colour and Culture has brought the School community together for a wonderful array of activities for students and parents. The art exhibition provides a fitting finale for a program of events which have been focused on our students and brought much colour and activity into our School. The exhibition is representative of the many mediums artists use as their canvas for expression of their imagination. To include works from our Lauriston alumnae demonstrates the talent which has been developed within our School. We are most fortunate at Lauriston to work in an aesthetically pleasing environment and be surrounded by artworks which have been collected through the Lauriston Arts Association Acquisition program and also works which have been gifted to our School over the years. For those of us who come to school each day, our environment provides inspiration, moments for reflection and a motivation to make our own creative contribution to the world. SUSAN JUST Principal The Lauriston Arts Association The Lauriston Arts Association (LAA) is an extension and support network to our school’s pursuit of excellence in the creative arts, both performing and visual. When selecting an educator and community for our daughters, we all find that “something” that resonates with us during the selection process and the reasoning can be diverse and very personal. Our school has achieved remarkable results over the years and is renowned for its academic endeavours. The LAA would like to highlight the school’s achievements in the visual and performing arts, connecting our current and past artistic communities. The Arts Festival, “Our Kaleidoscope of Colour & Culture” has been eight months in the making and the LAA have designed and implemented a programme of events to showcase the innovative, creative and artistic culture of the school. It is the first time a true festival has been delivered, providing experiences and performance across a vast array of creative disciplines further enhancing the schools already advanced curriculum. The students experienced the renowned artist Pamela Irving in-residence creating “The Nine Muses”. The internationally collected artist Suzie Stanford, from our parent community worked tirelessly with the girls to create the mind blowing “Our Floral Wave”, up-cycled bottles on Malvern Road. Meanwhile our Year 10 and 11 film crew, in a doco-style short film capture the enormity of the project. It is an innovative snapshot of the creative process through the eyes of “the bottle”, an extremely fresh, cutting edge and inventive view of up cycling for art. There are many firsts for the School in this Festival. Two performances by the very respected National Theatre, a workshop by the Australian Ballet and the innovative 3D Literature Live Exhibition, incorporating our Fab Lab. Students in both the Junior and Senior School have access to an art-house film. The Senior girls will enjoy an open- air cinema evening with “BYO bean bag and onsie” while the Junior girls will have dedicated lunchtime viewing. No to be forgotten, Howqua students worked with one of Australia’s most respected architectural photographers, Trevor Mein for a day of creative pursuits. The results are breath taking with a collaborative work now hanging in the Howqua dining room. The final event and primary fundraiser of the Festival is the exhibition and cocktail party at Leonard Joel. All proceeds from the sale of artworks allow the LAA to fund the annual Artist in Residence Program which will continue to challenge and inspire the girls at Lauriston for many years to come. The LAA would like to express an enormous thank you to everybody who has generously supported and contributed to the Festival programme through sponsorship and services. This could not have been achieved without the wonderful commitment of many whose belief in the festival, its vision and purpose have been remarkable. Georgie Bruce LAA Co-president Kerry Armstrong Otomys Gallery Silvi wanted to play Reworked linen in solid Australian Oak 123 x 163cm Kerry Armstrong is a Melbourne based abstract artist whose work emanates a sense of vibrancy, movement and emotional honesty. Working with acrylics, gouache and ink as primary mediums on Italian linen, Kerry uses a number of techniques to achieve patina and depth in her work. This technique is strongly informed by the complexity and beauty of natural textures and overlapping layers. “My work is very spontaneous and unplanned from the outset. I am drawn to colour first then feel immersed in a rhythmical sense emotionally and physically to where the piece is leading me. Music plays an enormous role at this point to stimulate and provide emotional access. The art itself then begins to take on its own path then kindly allows me to tell its story. My physical ‘gut’ feelings are strong when I’m on the right path and the feeling of exhilaration once a piece is resolved is such a joy.” Jacqueline Ball M Contemporary, Sydney A Collection of Organised Spaces #56 2012 Archival inkjet print 169 x 120 cm edition of 5 Ball completed her MFA at Curtin University and is currently undertaking her PhD. Her work is held in a number of collections across Australia, including the Art Gallery of NSW, Art Gallery of Western Australia and Artbank. The works that form ‘A Collection of Organised Spaces’ explore spatial arrangements with a focus on relation- ships between geometry, architecture, natural formations, materiality and light. To activate them, light was applied carefully to ‘sculptural sets’ and concealed information was exposed, accentuated form, gener- ated reflection and transformed and manipulated surfaces of everyday materials. Paint and liquid were utilised for similar purposes. At this time, Ball was interested in theatrical and filmic references as well as the traces and suggestions of previous action. Vivienne Breheney Snow Melt Cradle Mountain 2015 Oil on Canvas 71 x 90cm Vivienne a graduate of the Tasmanian School of Art, grew up in Circular Head on the north west coast of Tasmania. The environment she grew up in shaped her love of natural surroundings and is a great influence. Vivienne has been visiting Cradle Mountain for over 40 years and the transformation of it’s environ- ment, due to seasonal change and the daily transition occurring due to time of day and weather, has been a constant source of material. Vivienne’s work is held in a number of collections including the Bernie Regional Art Gallery, the Launceston General Hospital and the Devonport Regional Art Gallery. She was also awarded the Rosemund McCulloch Studio Residency, Cite Internationale des Arts Paris and was a finalist in The Glover Landscape Prize, 2015. Anne Nanou Dupuis Opalescence 2014 Acrylic and Ink on Linen 152 x 122cm Nanou is a Belgian emerging artist based in Melbourne whose work techniques and sub- ject matter are inspired by international residencies. Nanou is a grant recipient from the Australia Council for the Arts, receiving awards for her paintings and Public Art installations as well as being short listed for art prizes in Australia and Belgium. Her work has been exhibited in Australia, Europe, China and America. The field of her creative practice is an expansion of artistic studies that combines influences from Fine Arts, an Interior Design Degree and the completion of a MA in Public Art at RMIT University Melbourne. Anne Nanou Dupuis Clear Resilience 2015 Mineral pigment and acrylic on PVC 90x120cm Nanou is a Belgian emerging artist based in Melbourne whose work techniques and subject matter are inspired by international residencies. Nanou is a grant recipient from the Australia Council for the Arts, receiving awards for her paintings and Public Art installations as well as being short listed for art prizes in Australia and Belgium. Her work has been exhibited in Australia, Europe, China and America. Nanou’s work has an Asian aesthetic that merges elements from the natural environment and the urban landscape with the aim to reach out towards the spectator while suggesting movement and further visual configurations. Laura Ellenberger M Contemporary, Sydney Inner Reflection, 2014 Mixed media on Stonehenge, wax and mulberry paper 89 x 64 cm The transformative power of drawing becomes evident when original studies (which were made on cotton paper), are veiled with the formless wax drawings on Asian Mulberry paper. Through the layering of these sheets the drawing is veiled and the silent and internal nature of the portrait emerges. The shifting properties, between being and withdrawal, encourages the viewer to advance and engage with the sense of time suspended.

Primarily a figurative painter, his works responded to the world around him and his own life experiences, and they often reflected critically on society. During his career he played an active role in art politics, particularly in the 1940s, writing influential articles about the direction of art in Australia. He also held prominent positions within the art community, including President of the Contemporary Art Society in the late 1940s and again in the 1960s. Tucker grew up during the Depression and began his career as a young artist in the late 1930s, in the years leading up to the outbreak of World War II. At this time, his world was defined by financial insecurity, social inequality and war, and these concerns became the catalyst for much of his painting.

  • Irreverent Tales – Pamela Irving Artspace, 22 June-29 July 2017 Liza Dale-Hallett, Senior Curator, Sustainable Futures, Museums Victoria
    Irreverent Tales – Pamela Irving Artspace, 22 June-29 July 2017 Liza Dale-Hallett, Senior Curator, Sustainable Futures, Museums Victoria Thank you Jacquie and Pamela for the opportunity to speak here tonight. Welcome everyone to Irreverent Tales! What an exhibition. When I view Pamela Irving’s art it reminds me of why art matters. How it keeps our brains and hearts primed for living. Pamela’s YOLO Men graphically & optimistically remind us that we Only Live Once. When I look at Pamela’s art, these are the words that come to mind: Surprising Provocative Personal Joyful Fun Useful Colourful Symbolic Passionate Poetic Complex Her work has many layers of meaning & depth across time Pamela has, more than most artists, used her talents to foster creative communities and enrich our public places with vibrant and fun art. Her work is found in collections across Australia and the world. It is on our streets, in our schools. It is very firmly planted in our hearts and has become part of Melbourne’s urban legends. We are indeed very honoured to present over 30 years of Pamela Irving’s artistic practice in paintings, drawings and mosaics. It is particularly special to know that she created her first ceramic work in Box Hill. Some of these works in this exhibition have never been shown in Australia. One work on loan from Museums Victoria has not been seen publicly since 1991! 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, someone blue' – was acquired by me, as a young, just married for the first time (!), curator. It became part of the Ritual & Belief Collection within the Museums Victoria, and had been intended for the new Museum at Southbank.

  • History of the Art Horses
    05/10/18 CURATOR’S STATEMENT - ART HORSES AUSTRALIA ART HORSES - A Sculpture Exhibition of Painted Horses These Art Horses have their genesis in the phenomena of painted animal-art that has swept the world. It has included exhibitions of artist-designed cows in Zurich, Calgary, Chicago and New York, pigs in Seattle and moose in Toronto. In Australia, the horse was selected for its unique role in our history, from the settlers to the legendary Phar Lap - and, of course, the “race that stops a nation” - the Melbourne Cup. These uniquely painted and designed life-size horse and foal sculptures created by prominent and emerging Victorian artists provide an unprecedented blend of art, imagination and fun. The exhibition combines elements of street theatre and public art and they create a memorable spectacle wherever they ‘graze’! Each horse is brightly and amusingly painted to reveal the individual artist’s distinctive perspective on the tradition of ‘equine art’. They have become synonymous with the famous Spring Racing Carnival over the years. The Art Horses Collection originally included over fifty wonderfully painted horses on many themes, ranging from wild and zany to more classically executed pieces. They have been displayed throughout the City, beginning in 2000, with exhibitions running through 2015. In 2001, a major three week event entitled “Birth of an Art Horse” was staged at the Melbourne Museum, featuring notable artists at work designing and painting them. Art Horses Australia has three simple goals: • to generate artistic creativity & showcase local artists • to bring smiles & chuckles to the faces of children and adults - Melbournians and visitors alike • to raise substantial funds for a nominated charity with a major auction to be held at the conclusion of the exhibition run.

  • A Walking Tour of the Public Sculptures Along Swanston Street, Melbourne. Text Only. Michael Donnelly, First Produced, 2005, at RVIB
    “Do Touch the Sculptures” A walking tour of the public sculptures along Swanston Street, Melbourne. Text Only. Michael Donnelly, First produced, 2005, at RVIB. This revised edition, 2015, at SVRC. Copies of the Braille & Tactile Image or the Large Print & image versions of the Guide are available for loan from SVRC. Acknowledgements: I must acknowledge my indebtedness to a publication by the City of Melbourne Art and Culture Department: Public Art Works: Swanston Street & Bourke Street Mall, (c.1998) from which I have borrowed copious amounts of text and to the assistance of Andrea Kleist, Public Art Program Manager and Eddie Butler Bowdon at the Council, as well as, more recently, Lynda Roberts, Public Art Program Manager, Arts & Culture, City of Melbourne. I wish also to thank the sculptor Des McKenna for information he supplied on his Wombat sculpture. Thanks also to the Production staff at the Statewide Vision Resource Centre, Donvale. This applies also to Garry Stinchcombe, Deb Lewis and other staff who have supported me in continuing this project. Introduction: The City of Melbourne has a very rich and varied collection of public sculptures that creates, in effect, an “Open Air Sculpture Museum”. Many of the streets, building facades and parklands are punctuated by interesting sculptural pieces, many of them accessible for tactual investigation even if “no climbing” is allowed. The often contentious stretch of street scape known as the Swanston Street Walk and the adjacent Bourke Street Mall are just a small part of the overall scheme but they provide a marvellous opportunity to discover a diverse sculptural mix in relatively close proximity to each other.

We are aware of the art ‘product’ - the song, the picture, the play - but less aware of the ‘process’ which creates the product. The arts are not so much a result of inspiration and innate talent as they are a person’s capacities for creative thinking and imagining, problem solving, creative judgement and a host of other mental processes.” Artistic achievement is learning • Do I have the ability to direct artistic choices and the journey of how to unify diverse elements into student thinking? their own artistic growth?
