CART – Churchie Art

The phrase ‘anxious object’ was first used by the critic Harold Rosenberg to describe the kind of modern art that often makes the audience uneasy and unsure if they are in the presence of a genuine work of art, or not. Faced with the unfamiliar many of us can admit that modern art provokes a similar response in us. After all, what is art and what is it for? The excellent work on display at CART 2014 provided us with

some answers to these questions. Lachlan Haller (Year 9) Baby Eve, 2014

Churchie artists have given us a privileged insight into their world. The work on display was a declaration: young men declaring to the viewer who they are, what they are concerned about, what gives them joy and what makes each of them a unique individual. The works spoke to us about each boy’s history and paid tribute to their families, friends, teachers and mentors, who have all helped to mould different aspects of their identity.

Year 12 students James Martoo and Jack Brodie deserve a special mention, having been chosen as Excellence Award recipients for the 2014 Creative Generation Excellence Awards and will exhibit at GOMA next year. An outstanding achievement. Sam Nicholls (Year 12) I know that, 2014 James Martoo (Year 12) Window Seat, 2014 Jack Brodie (Year 12) Time Eroding Time, 2014
