By undertaking intuitive studio experiments informed by interwoven processes of chance and control and interpreting the outcomes through the metaphoric connotations of form; I seek to harness a range of tensions and contradictions inherent to the processes of making, and to realize a body of works that are reflective of personal biography, memory and the human condition. This research has been informed by the works of Michael Landy, Jimmie Durham and Robert Smithson as well as theories that relate to Synectics and the writing of Susanne Langer. Regarded as a whole, this project aims to identify and analyse the complex interactions of material and metaphor that can occur in the making of contemporary art. 4 Contents List of figures ......................................................................................................................... 6 Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................ 8 Introduction ............................................................................................................................ 9 Methodology and Theoretical Framework ........................................................................... 10 Chapter 1: Contextual Frameworks ..................................................................................... 16 Michael Landy ......................................................................................................... 16 Jimmie Durham ........................................................................................................ 24 Robert Smithson ....................................................................................................... 32 Chapter 2: Creative outcomes .............................................................................................. 36 Key Ideas ................................................................................................................. 37 The Works ................................................................................................................ 41 Conclusion ........................................................................................................................... 64 References ............................................................................................................................ 65 5 List of Figures 1 Lawrence Weiner, Removal to the lathing or support wall of plaster or wall board from a wall, 1968. 17 2 Edward Ruscha, Royal road test, 1967 artist’s book printed 1971. 18 3 Daniel Spoerri, Anecdoted Topography of Chance (Topographie anécdotée du hazard), 1962. 20 4 Michael Landy, Break Down, 2001. 21 5 Michael Landy, Semi-detached, 2004. 22 6 The Great Chain of Being from the Rhetorica Christiana by Fray Diego de Valades (1579). 26 7 Jimmie Durham, Still life with stone and car, 2004. 29 8 Jimmie Durham, A Meteoric Fall to Heaven, 2000. 29 9 Jimmie Durham, Stoning the Refrigerator, 1996. 30 10 Robert Smithson, Partially Buried Woodshed, 1970. 35 11 Michael Riddle, Parnell's dream, 2014. 42 12 Michael Riddle, Control, 2014. 44 13 Michael Riddle, “I'm not best pleased”, 2014. 45 14 Michael Riddle, That's how the light gets in, 2014. 45 15 Michael Riddle, “Why do you hate me so much?”, 2014. 47 16 Michael Riddle, Waiting for clarity, 2014. 49 17 Michael Riddle, Catastrophic failure, 2014. 51 18 Michael Riddle, Complete collapse, 2014. 52 19 Michael Riddle, Iconoclast 1, 2014. 52 20 Michael Riddle, Ruptures, 2015. 53 21 Michael Riddle, Crash, 2015. 54 22 Michael Riddle, diagram for Mud flap, 2015. 55 23 Michael Riddle, Mud flap, 2015. 55 6 24 Benoit Aquin, photograph of a crumpled pylon caused by an ice storm in the Boucherville region east of Montreal, 1998. 56 25 Michael Riddle, Iconoclast 2 CAD elevation with cables, 2016. 57 26 Iconoclast 2 (in progress), 2017. 58 27 Michael Riddle, Iconoclast 2, 2017. 59 28 Michael Riddle, Iconoclast 2, 2017. 59 29 Michael Riddle, Iconoclast 2, 2017. 61 7 Acknowledgements I would like to extend my upmost gratitude to my friend and supervisor Charles Robb, without his generous support, positive attitude and invaluable feedback, this project would not have been possible.

The foundation for the project are material- and process-driven studio experiments coupled with narratives and experiences drawn from my own biography. In my work, the two pillars of materiality and memory combine in often dramatic and awkward ways and together reference the human condition through metaphoric inference. The project explores a range of composite materials such as bitumen, clay slip, acrylic resin, steel, pewter and rock, and the formal structures that arise through a combination of neutral material experimentation and at times highly-charged biographical reflection. Further, it describes how an adaption and transition of these works from the studio to a site-specific location may be achieved through the development of a monumental public artwork The research process is principally informed by the theoretical framework of Synectics, the fusing of disparities and the meshing of memory and object to form emotional analogues. It further locates this research in relation to the writing of Susanne Langer on symbolic transformation of experiences and affect and how metaphor can be utilised as a vehicle for the transmission of emotion. The work is further informed by the artistic practices of Michael Landy, Jimmie Durham and Robert Smithson specifically in relation to destruction, control and chance reflected in these artists’ exploration of object, process and site. My studio-based methodology employs a broad mode of research and follows an heuristic approach to art-making where trial and error are encouraged and valued. Chance is intentionally introduced throughout my process as a ‘circuit breaker’ to attempt to derail and dodge conscious compositional formality. I seek to evaluate my relationship to failure where pride, ego and the question of control are always just beneath the surface. Effectively, I explore the expressive and compositional possibilities that arise from challenging my assertion of power over matter. Methodology and Theoretical Framework 9 This project employs an approach that is exclusively practice-led, according to Gray and Malins’ definition, practice-led research involves “practitioners researching through action and reflecting in and on action. The researcher/practitioner is central to the inquiry as is the context in which the research is taking place” (2004, p.3). As I shall elucidate below, using my own subjective responses and biographical experiences as a form of research material is a vital part of my studio practice. In his article Research Acts in Art Practice, Graeme Sullivan proposes that the images and works created in the studio embody the ideas that are given form through the making process, describing a method where creative practice “involves giving form to thought in a purposeful way” (2006, p.29). In this way, he observes, the artifacts themselves can be considered tangible forms of knowledge that can reveal insights that are well-grounded and culturally relevant. My approach to practice is informed by a similar belief in the broader cultural relevance of the often quite insular activities in the studio—especially when the outcomes of this process become presented in public (as in the case of a work of public art). In addition to this cultural contribution, the studio is place for intuitive exploration of materials. The concept of ‘thinking materially’ or processing ideas through the manipulation of materials, is a strong feature of my practice. In the book, titled Material thinking: The theory and practice or creative research, Paul

Photo: The National Gallery, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, 2012. © Michael Landy, Michael Landy as St Jerome, MICHAEL LANDY SAINTS ALIVE An introduction for teachers and students SAINTS ALIVE This exhibition consists of seven kinetic sculptures that are operated by visitors. The sculptures represent figures and stories of popular saints taken from the history of art. They are made from cast representations of details taken from National Gallery paintings, which have been combined with assemblages of recycled machinery, broken children’s toys and other unwanted junk. In the foyer to the exhibition, a selection of related drawings and collages is displayed. The collages are made from fragments cut out from reproductions of paintings in the collection. THE ROOTSTEIN HOPKINS ASSOCIATE ARTIST SCHEME The National Gallery is a historical collection that ends with work by Cézanne and the Post-Impressionists. At the time of the Gallery’s foundation in 1824, one of the stated aims was that it should provide a resource from which contemporary artists could learn and gain inspiration. Taking its cue from this idea, the Associate Artist Scheme began in 1989 with the appointment of Paula Rego. The essential requirement for the Associate Artist is that he or she makes new work by engaging with, and responding to the collection or some aspect of the collection. The artist is given a studio in the Gallery for a period of around two years. Michael Landy is the ninth artist to be invited to undertake this project.

  • Collecting and Conserving Net Art
    Collecting and Conserving Net Art Collecting and Conserving Net Art explores the qualities and characteristics of net art and its influence on conservation practices. By addressing and answering some of the challenges facing net art and providing an exploration of its intersection with conservation, the book casts a new light on net art, conservation, curating and museum studies. Viewing net art as a process rather than as a fixed object, the book considers how this is influenced by and executed through other systems and users. Arguing that these processes and networks are imbued with ambiguity, the book suggests that this is strategically used to create suspense, obfuscate existing systems and disrupt power structures. The rapid obsolescence of hardware and software, the existence of many net artworks within restricted platforms and the fact that artworks often act as assemblages that change or mutate, make net art a challenging case for conservation. Taking the performative and interpretive roles conservators play into account, the book demonstrates how practitioners can make more informed decisions when responding to, critically analyzing or working with net art, particularly software-based processes. Collecting and Conserving Net Art is intended for researchers, academics and postgraduate students, especially those engaged in the study of museum studies, conservation and heritage studies, curatorial studies, digital art and art history. The book should also be interesting to professionals who are involved in the conservation and curation of digital arts, performance, media and software. Annet Dekker is Assistant Professor Media Studies: Archival and Information Studies at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and Visiting Professor and co-director of the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image at London South Bank University, UK.

  • Gillian Wearing 28 March – 17 June 2012, Galleries 1, 8 & Victor Petitgas Gallery (Gallery 9)
    Gillian Wearing 28 March – 17 June 2012, Galleries 1, 8 & Victor Petitgas Gallery (Gallery 9) The Whitechapel Gallery presents the first major international survey of Turner Prize-winning British artist Gillian Wearing’s photographs and films which explore the public and private lives of ordinary people. Fascinated by how people present themselves in front of the camera in fly- on-the-wall documentaries and reality TV, Gillian Wearing explores ideas of personal identity through often masking her subjects and using theatre’s staging techniques. This major exhibition surveys Wearing’s work from the early photographs Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You to Say (1992–3) to her latest video Bully (2010) and also includes several new photographs made specially for the Whitechapel Gallery exhibition. Visitors to the exhibition enter a film set-style installation showcasing photographs and films in ‘front and back stage’ areas. Highlights include a striking photograph of the artist posing as her younger self, Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (2003), Dancing in Peckham (1994), a film which blurs the boundaries between public space and private expression as Wearing dances in the middle of a shopping mall, and the UK premiere of recent film Bully (2010). New photographic works shown for the first time include two portraits of Wearing as artists August Sander and Claude Cahun as part of her ongoing series of iconic photographers, as well as still lives of flowers, looking back to th the rich symbolism of the great age of 17 century Dutch painting.

  • Foundations and Contemporary Art
    Rebecca Coates, The curator/patron: Foundations and contemporary art REBECCA COATES The curator/patron: Foundations and contemporary art Abstract This article addresses the role of private foundations in commissioning site-specific ephemeral art works: contemporary art projects of a temporary nature that are realised outside of public institutions. Though small in number, I argue that the private individuals creating and managing private foundations of this nature demonstrate a new form of patronage, creating in the process a new role of ‘curator/patron’. Equally, this process of realisation reflects the changing needs of contemporary art practice. Work of this scale and ambition would increasingly not be possible without the vision, perseverance and funding of these kinds of foundation. In Australia, this trend is demonstrated by two foundations: Kaldor Art Projects, and their commissioning of works by artists such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Gilbert & George and Jeff Koons; and the more recently formed Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, whose first project was with Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. In this article, these examples are placed within the broader international context of foundation models such as Artangel, UK, Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan, and The Public Art Fund, New York. The birth of Kaldor Art Projects In 1969, collector, entrepreneur and art patron John Kaldor invited internationally acclaimed contemporary artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to wrap a section of the New South Wales coast. Wrapped Coast – One Million Square Feet, Little Bay, Sydney, Australia, 1969, was the culmination of many hours of planning, organisation and work. Wrapped Coast was installed by the artists together with a daily workforce of around 120 people, including professional mountain climber, labourers, students from the University of Sydney and East Sydney Technical College, and a number of Australian artists and teachers.

Inspired by works in Associate Artist Scheme the Gallery’s collection, Michael Landy: Saints Alive is the culmination of Landy’s More about the contemporary artists who have taken part in position as the Gallery’s current Rootstein Hopkins Associate Artist in residence. the scheme Landy’s imagination has been captured by images of saints in the collection; the colourful and detailed portrayal of their lives, their attributes, and stories of their single­mindedness and strength have provided powerful stimuli for Landy’s work. Towering over visitors, the seven large­scale sculptures swivel and turn, in movements that evoke the drama of each saint’s life. Saints Apollonia, Catherine, Francis, Jerome, Thomas – and an additional sculpture that takes a number of saints as its inspiration – fill the Sunley Room alongside collages on paper that show the creative process on which Landy embarked to arrive at the kinetic sculptures. The large­scale sculptures are formed of re­imagined fragments of National Gallery paintings cast in fibreglass, painted and assembled with the surprising addition of metal cogs, wheels, defunct fan belts and motors that Landy has accumulated from junkyards, car boot sales and flea markets.

  • Young British Artists: the Legendary Group
    Young British Artists: The Legendary Group Given the current hype surrounding new British art, it is hard to imagine that the audience for contemporary art was relatively small until only two decades ago. Predominantly conservative tastes across the country had led to instances of open hostility towards contemporary art. For example, the public and the media were outraged in 1976 when they learned that the Tate Gallery had acquired Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII (the bricks) . Lagging behind the international contemporary art scene, Britain was described as ‘a cultural backwater’ by art critic Sarah Kent. 1 A number of significant British artists, such as Tony Cragg, and Gilbert and George, had to build their reputation abroad before being taken seriously at home. Tomake matters worse, the 1980s saw severe cutbacks in public funding for the arts and for individual artists. Furthermore, the art market was hit by the economic recession in 1989. For the thousands of art school students completing their degrees around that time, career prospects did not look promising. Yet ironically, it was the worrying economic situation, and the relative indifference to contemporary art practice in Britain, that were to prove ideal conditions for the emergence of ‘Young British Art’. Emergence of YBAs In 1988, in the lead-up to the recession, a number of fine art students from Goldsmiths College, London, decided it was time to be proactive instead of waiting for the dealers to call. Seizing the initiative, these aspiring young artists started to curate their own shows, in vacant offices and industrial buildings. The most famous of these was Freeze ; and those who took part would, in retrospect, be recognised as the first group of Young British Artists, or YBAs.
