  • MEMORIES, MATERS and the MYSTIQUE
    MEMORIES, MATERS and the MYSTIQUE Submitted by VALARIE ROBINSON T.I.T.C. Bed. (LIB), BVA (HONS) STUDENT NO. 14314179 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the MASTER OF VISUAL ART- by RESEARCH SUPERVISORS: NEIL FETTLING STEPHEN TURPIE School of Visual Arts and Design Faculty of Humanities and Social Science La Trobe University Bundoora, Victoria, 3086 Australia APRIL 2011 - 1 - ABSTRACT What was the contribution of the women who pioneered Mildura? The contribution and the endowment made by female pioneers to Mildura, is rarely recorded or acknowledged in historical documents and newspapers locally. Through reading about pioneer women in Australia, novels written between the 1880’s and 1920 and the role of women in history and prehistory, I researched why women, not just the pioneers, have become almost invisible in written records. The laws of the land and the customs of the Christian Church perpetuated the myth that women were the weaker sex and doomed them to life in the background supporting the hero, the masculine1. Male dominated perspective of feminine crafts such as embroidery and the fibre arts contributed to their exclusion from the mainstream of art and their rejection by art historians.2 With the rise of feminism in the 1890’s and more radically and profoundly in the 1970’s, the acceptance of the value of both women and women’s work, became possible.3 Art made a century ago by males and females confirmed the evidence of biased historical documentation in books and newspapers. However contemporary artists now use a variety of media without specific boundaries to express their concepts, emotions, criticisms on life.

  • Future/Forward Day 2 2018
    Future/Forward Day 2 2018 Session 1: Welcome to Parliament with Justine Van Mourik Penelope: Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land where we gather today, the Ngunnawal people, and pay my respects to elders past, present, and emerging. Also acknowledge all the wonderful Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander people here with us today. Now I'm going to introduce Justine van Mourik, the Director of Exhibitions and Collections of Parliament House to talk to us about the collection, and your work here. Justine: Thanks Penelope. I'm going to do that thing at the beginning of the school tour. Can I have a show of hands if you've been in this building before. That's pretty great, not bad. Audience 1: Probably, we went to school. Justine: Did you get dragged through at school? I'm too old for that. One of the wonderful things about this building, and I'm going to explain. For some of you this is probably a bit remedial, but for others, it hopefully will just give you a bit of insight and into this building. And I say ‘this building’ because I separate this building from the government. The Parliament is not the same as the government. Parliament house was designed to have a license 200 years. Parliamentarians come and grow; this building will remain. One of the beautiful things about this building is when Mitchell / Giurgola & Thorp designed this building, the question of meaning came up. How do you view a structure with meaning? And another gentleman wrote a quite similar paper to the speaker which was Billy Sanborn saying - the only way that I can give you a building with meaning and what it means to be Australian and all its facets is through the use of art and basically asks to give him a fairly large sum of money to create what would become the parliament house art and craft program.

  • ELISABETH CUMMINGS Interior Landscapes Curated by Sioux Garside
    ELISABETH CUMMINGS interior landscapes Curated by Sioux Garside 26 May – 23 July 2017 Born in 1934, in Brisbane Elisabeth Cummings was raised in a home filled with paintings and sculpture. Her parents regularly held an ‘open house’ for on Sunday evenings for American soldiers headquartered in Brisbane and also welcomed many Australian artists including David Strachan, Donald Friend, Margaret Olley & Roy Dalgarno. Her father, an architect and academic, was also a trustee at the Queensland Art Gallery. As a child she and her brother would attend Vida Lahey’s art classes held on Fridays. The family holidayed at Currumbin on the Gold Coast and in her final year of high school after tuition from Margaret Cilento she became determined to study art and, with her encouragement, decided to attend the National Art School in Sydney. She moved to Sydney and studied under Dorothy Thornhill, Godfrey Miller, Jimmy Cook and Ralph Balson between 1953-57. In 1958 she was awarded the New South Wales Travelling Art Scholarship which enabled her to travel to Europe where she lived in Italy, France and England where she was inspired by the work of Cézanne, Matisse and Vuillard. She also travelled to Salzburg and studied under Oskar Kokoschka at his School of Vision. After a decade of living in Europe, Elisabeth Cummings returned to Australia and settled in Sydney. She had missed the Australian bush and land and this now provided the stimulation for her work. She commenced teaching at the National Art School in 1969, instructing countless students there during her thirty year tenure as a lecturer and exhibiting regularly in Brisbane and Sydney.

As the Samstag Museum of Art says farewell to White Rabbit – Contemporary Chinese Art Collection, the most highly visited exhibition of the year, Samstag welcomes two new exhibitions to complete its exciting 2011 program: Your Move: Australian artists play chess University of South Australia Bill Henson: early work from the MGA Collection, with selected recent landscapes 14 October – 16 December Adelaide SA 5000 55 North Terrace Your Move: Australian artists play chess has provided thirteen of Australia’s leading contemporary Samstag Museum of Art Anne & Gordon artists with the opportunity to engage with an ancient game to create new and intriguing works of art. ‘The game of chess is traditionally perceived as a subdued, cerebral and introspective activity’, exhibition curator Tansy Curtin said. ‘However, the creation of new artworks informed by the notion of the game of chess adds a new dimension to the game itself: chess acquires a new visual persona; beauty and drama alongside intrigue and threat become implicit aspects of the game’. This playful and thought-provoking exhibition engages with multiple concepts – from climate change, environmental degradation and the impacts of colonisation, to explorations of Australian icons – and vividly illustrates that in the 21st century, chess has lost none of its inspirational power. For many artists the game of chess is an allegory for battles throughout history; such as in the work of 2006 Samstag Scholars Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro, whose work combines beer bottles and coasters on a scorched picnic table as metaphor for the First World War.

  • Leading Australian Artist Sally Smart to Present World Premiere of Installation the Violet Ballet at Adelaide Festival 2019
    Media Release For immediate release, Wednesday 31 October 2018 Leading Australian artist Sally Smart to present world premiere of installation The Violet Ballet at Adelaide Festival 2019 Adelaide contemporary art gallery ACE Open will premiere leading Australian artist Sally Smart’s installation, The Violet Ballet, as part of the 2019 Adelaide Festival from 2 March – 27 April, 2019. Widely known for her large-scale assemblage installations, South Australian-born Smart has amassed a significant international career over more than three decades. Her accolades include major exhibitions in New York, Singapore, Jakarta and across Australia, as well as a 2017 collaboration with luxury Italian fashion house, Marni. The Violet Ballet continues Smart’s investigation into avant-garde dance company the Ballets Russes, and their experimental choreography, costume and theatre design. In an immersive and layered installation constructed from textile curtains, costumes, projection, puppetry, shadowplay and dance-on- film, Smart re-imagines one of the Ballet’s most macabre and visually complex works, Chout (Tale of the Buffoon). Through her research and the resulting installation, the artist draws parallels to the Indonesian Wayang character Punokawan (the clown), to examine ideas of identity politics, cultural hybridity, the historical and contemporary avant-gardes entwined legacies of colonialsm and orientalism. As part of the re-staging of Chout in the film component of the work, Smart has collaborated with the writer Maria Tumarkin to create spoken and sung word, with operatic vocals performed by Billie Tumarkin, along with choreography and performance by dancer Brooke Stamp. Billie Tumarkin and Brooke Stamp will also perform live as part of the exhibition’s free opening celebration on Saturday 2 March from 5pm.

The 2019 program also includes a redesigned sculpture gallery, a major rehang of Australian art, the opening of a Yayoi Kusama infinity room, the acquisition of an Urs Fischer ‘candle’ sculpture, and new interactive creative learning centre and children’s gallery thanks to the generosity of Tim Fairfax AC. ‘The dimension and the depth of the 2019 artistic program defines the significant role of the national collection, ensuring the National Gallery continues to be an important reference point for art for all Australians,’ said National Gallery Director Nick Mitzevich. ‘We are excited to be re-imagining Australian art, telling new stories through the eyes of many great artists and bringing the best of international art to Canberra.’ The 2019 program involves partnerships with some of the world’s best museums and galleries including the Tate, Musée Marmottan and generous loans from The Met, MoMA and the National Gallery, London. Partnerships with Wesfarmers and the Seven Network are also supporting major new initiatives in bringing art to broad and diverse audiences. 2019 PROGRAM MAJOR EXHIBITIONS LOVE AND DESIRE: PRE-RAPHAELITE MASTERPIECES FROM THE TATE (14 December 2018—28 April 2019) In a world exclusive, two of Britain’s most-loved paintings—Ophelia and The Lady of Shalott—leave the walls of the Tate together for the first time in an exhibition of more than 100 works.
