Melbourne artist Robert Rooney’s paintings, based on children’s imagery, and suburban photographs have earned him acclaim in Australia since the ’60s. For the first time, the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, is exhibiting a series of Rooney’s photographs taken during his university years (including The Quadrangle, below). The Box Brownie Years 1956-58 is on from 3 April to 19 May. (03) 9417 1549; ccp.org.au.

Often inspired by his children’s drawings, Sydney artist Todd Hunter’s frenzied oils, fuelled by the music of Nick Cave and Tom Waits, have been compared to the voluptuous gestures of Peter Paul Rubens and the figures of Francis Bacon. His latest show (featuring Idiot Wind, right) is at Scott Livesey Galleries, Armadale Vic, from 10 April to 4 May. (03) 9824 7770; scottliveseygalleries.com.

Beyond logic Australian artist Fiona Hall's most recent paintings on barkcloth are compelling, angry and dark - the urgent response of an artist observing the demise of the natural world. Virginia Were spoke to Hall while she was in New Zealand on an artist's residency at Tivo Rooms. Artnews New Zealand, New Zealand 01 Sep 2013

Tonga, following the 1000-kilometre-long Kermadec Trench Scrimshaw and Spill, both painted in 2011, were Hall's - the second deepest oceanic trench in the world. Filled response to the grounding of the container ship Rena on with active undersea volcanoes and populated by many Astrolabe Reef in Tauranga, which happened only months as-yet undiscovered species, the Kermadec Trench is one after the artists' voyage. "For all of us on the Kermadec of the world's last relatively untouched wilderness areas. trip, Rena was a very timely reminder of the issues we Pew Environment Group funded the voyage, and the were dealing with, and the show opened first in Tauranga, artists travelled with the specific aim of convincing the the port city close to where the disaster happened. But New Zealand Government to declare the Kermadec Trench that wasn't enough to remind your government of the true a marine reserve, protecting it from the imminent threat danger and risks of offering mining permits to companies of mining and fishing. wanting to mine the area," she says. Since then the resulting exhibitions have taken on a Despite the undoubted success of the Kermadec life of their own, first opening in Tauranga then travelling exhibition in raising public awareness of the need to to Auckland, Wellington and Santiago. This summer one protect the area, the main goal, which was to convince will tour to the Navy Museum in Devonport. For Hall, whose love of nature and close scrutiny of the natural world is manifest in her interdisciplinary art practice, the voyage was a watershed. Until then her art had been mostly land-based. After the voyage she turned her penetrating gaze seawards. It also marked the beginning of her use of Tongan barkcloth as a substrate for large, eerily beautiful paintings populated by the sea life of the Kermadec Group. On board Otago Hall became good friends with New Zealand artist Robin White, who has a long history of working with barkcloth and whose recent exhibition of large barkcloth works at Two Rooms resulted from a collaboration between White and Tongan New Zealander Ruha Fifita. After the voyage Hall met Fifita in Tonga, and from her, learned the rudiments of preparing and painting on barkcloth (called tapa throughout the Pacific), using traditional ochres and dyes. "My way of working with the medium is very different from the Tangan one, and the traditional practice across the Pacific," says Hall. "I'm using it to paint in a comparatively Western way. So there wasn't a need for me to learn about the kupesi process." In the elegaic paintings, made after the voyage, Hall divided the pictorial space into grids, containing fragments of text (including the words "On your watch Mr Key, which side are you on?") and images of Kermadec species. This gave the works the feeling of protest banners, which in many ways they are. In Ghost Net, 2011, Hall imagines the future of the Kermadec Trench if it's not protected. The skeletal forms of animals are hopelessly entangled in 'ghost nets' - lost or abandoned nets that drift in the ocean indiscriminately ensnaring and killing sea life as they go.

the government to declare it a marine reserve, hasn't been achieved. In that context, I asked Hall if she thinks art can be an effective political tool? "Yes it can be, but it's mostly like litmus paper in that it detects and brings to the forefront the issues of the day - there are many historical precedents. Whether it changes the course of events in a major way, I'm not sure. It shows up some of the agendas, bringing them to attention - and because the arts are at the vanguard, it's always a bit ahead of the game. The litmus paper shows up what the game is, although it may not persuade governments or dictators or despots to change an agenda." Two years after the Kermadec voyage, the wood grain pattern on the coffin in Scrimshaw re-appears in the recent series of paintings made during her Two Rooms residency earlier this year. An exhibition of these works, titled Veneer, will open at the gallery in late August. The title is metaphorically rich when you consider wood veneer is a byproduct of trees and forests, which are a shrinking resource, and the fact that veneer is also associated with superficiality and concealment. Though they're also painted on barkcloth I made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree) the recent works are very different from the Kermadec works. Rather than addressing a specific environment, these paintings are more universal in scope - and more angry, expressionistic and intuitive. Hall is looking at the wider picture of environmental destruction and loss of habitat, and the role humans play - with our propensity for conflict and warfare - in this unfolding disaster, which will eventually affect us all. "The Kermadec work was all Kermadec driven," she explains. "The current work is coming from a very different Fiona Hall, ftzoporus occtdentalts/night parrot, Australia, 2009-11, 11.1CN threat status: critically endangered.

mix of politics at large with environmental politics. Politics at large too often means warfare. Over the last few years I've been working a lot with military camouflage patterns and garments in several contexts - they are indicators of nations participating in skirmishes across the world. Those issues are still driving some of my current work, but in other work, including the paintings I'm doing for the Two Rooms residency, the work is less attached to specific political agendas, and coming more from an emotional response to the state of play in a world which many of us would agree is a fairly calamitous place. You could say it always has been, in all sorts of ways. Humans seem to be hard-wired for conflict." Hall says in the recent paintings she wanted to bypass the stringently logical thought processes underpinning earlier work and to tap into a more subjective and emotional register. In one work, Take No Prisoners, a world map is crumpled and torn, seemingly caught in the act of being unfolded. Its surface is covered with blotches and stains, which seem indistinguishable from the soft, blurred shapes of continents and islands. Latitudinal and longitudinal lines are bent and warped, adding to the sense mounted on the wooden walls of a hunter's hut, were of contagion and disorder. sourced from The International Union for the Conservation "Maps are quite beautiful when they're unfolding. of Nature's (IUCN) register of endangered species, You see all the fold marks and the undulations of the including a Californian Condor and a Mexican Axolotl. map along with the undulations of the territory that As always the craftsmanship in these works is is depicted," she says. "In this work there are a few exceptional, as is the connection between Hall's choice holes and a couple of skulls, and the one in Africa is of materials and the subjects driving the work. of a chimpanzee. There's the widely acknowledged This year Fall Prey formed the core of Hall's survey evolutionary theory that we all came out of Africa and exhibition Big Game Hunting, shown at Heide Museum share the majority of our genetic makeup with other of Modern Art in Bulleen, Victoria. primates - so in that work there's a specific logic, but you In David Hansen's catalogue essay for Big Game wouldn't have to know that to respond to the painting." Hunting he discusses her use of camouflage: "... the The skulls, which morph in and out of the map and the military fabric is not in fact singular, but a complex if wood grain background, carry a similar sense of horror as compact triple trope, which embodies conflict, plant Edvard Munch's famous painting The Scream of Nature, ecology and disappearance. In her presentation of 1893, in which a figure with an agonised expression is camouflage as this three-headed allegorical device, we can seen against a landscape with a tumultuous orange sky. begin to see both the distinctiveness and the distinction While walking along a path at sunset, the Norwegian of Hall's practice: its multivalence, its vegetal energy, its expressionist painter saw the clouds turn blood red above reaching branches and rhizomic meanders, its wondering, the dark blue fjord below him. Writing of the experience wandering, ambitious and generous expansiveness. Or to that sparked the painting, he said: "I sensed an infinite shift to another corner of the camouflage triad, she is not scream passing through nature". content with the one clear shot, but employs the rapid Like Munch, Hall seems to have sensed this scream fire of a fully automatic assault weapon." and in these paintings we can hear its echo and feel her Hall's recent barkcloth paintings are no exception. despair at the current state of the world. "It's an emotive, Although the subject matter of these works could not be angry response, but also cynical and sorrowful," she says. more serious, their earthy sensuality and tactile beauty A similar emotional intensity can be felt in her makes them dangerously seductive.
