Indholdsfortegnelse for November 2024 i Art Almanac

Portals are simply any door or gateway that leads to another area. Pathways into new environments or scenarios. Many of the artists in this issue use this theory or actuality in their artmaking, whether it's depicted as a physical scene, expressed through abstract forms, conveyed indirectly through concept and meaning, reflective surfaces or otherwise. These portals stretch our understanding of reality; separate planes that offer time, space and place to visit, escape and explore – to express ourselves, to reflect and (re)connect. For our cover artist, Elliat Rich, they are objects that tether you to other ways of seeing, thinking, knowing, being. For the viewers, we invite you to embark on your own journeys of experience and interpretation.…

This provocatively entitled book presages a major exhibition in Melbourne next year, but right now offers a wealth of insights into First Nations art and culture from a miscellany of essayists, many connected to Melbourne University. For it's there that its editors, Marcia Langton, who is Foundation Chair of Indigenous Studies, and Judith Ryan, who for many years was curator of First Nations art at the National Gallery of Victoria, are based. Essayists – including both editors, who are determined to emphasise that “This is an anti-colonial publication and exhibition” – include senior Desert anthropologist Fred Myers, Arnhem Land's Brian Gumbula-Garawirrtja, and the Egyptian-born Grazia Gunn, who brought the distant Groote Eylandt art to southern light as long ago as 1973, just twelve years before I saw the light on…

re/JOY Australian Design Centre 21 November 2024 to 29 January 2025 Sydney re/JOY examines our emotional connection with everyday objects and their role in our lives through migration experiences and memories. In 2023, ceramic Thai-born Australian artist Vipoo Srivilasa issued a public call-out for donations of broken ceramic objects that held significant meaning for their owners and their stories explaining why. Seven entries resonated with Srivilasa on which to base his striking new 1.5-metre-tall ceramic sculptures. An eighth sculpture references the artist's own experiences moving from Thailand to Australia, based around a button from his grandfather that holds strong family connections.…

experimental idiocy Sullivan+Strumpf From 14 November 2024 Sydney Underlying Glenn Barkley's new body of work is what the artist terms “mnemonic archaeology” – reflecting on recent personal experiences and global shifts, including political changes and the accelerated digital landscape. Barkley challenges traditional ceramic forms, creating function-free vessels that serve as canvases for social commentary. In experimental idiocy, pieces feature provocative texts drawn from political speeches and online rhetoric, such as “double haters” and “Anglosphere mind virus.” By firing these fleeting phrases onto ceramic surfaces, Barkley creates a permanent record of our rapidly changing cultural landscape.…

The Space in Between Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre Until 1 December 2024 Queensland The artworks are placed strategically to evoke multiple possibilities. Art is about revealing the hidden; a way into other realities and other personalities. Jean Bennett's sculptural figures and encaustic paintings speak of stories untold, of hidden places deep inside, connecting through the embodied encounters of form and space. Lyne Marshall's ethereal paintings engage with her encaustic works to blur the edges between reality and knowledge, adding a spirit of mystery and intrigue. Their stories touch and twine, offering threads of different hues which meet in the in-between spaces.…

Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery Until 7 December 2024 Western Australia Presented as part of IOTA24, this exhibition explores fibre and woven forms in relation to the human body. Contemporary makers innovate using the traditions of old as they create pieces that critique power dynamics. The concept utilises a broad definition of fibre and textiles to include paintings on linen and canvas, irregular and convention-defying paintings such as Rossy Drake Brockman's upholstered painting, installations including Zanny Begg's Military tattoo series, stitched works such as Teelah George's large-scale embroidery, Blue Biro, and clothing and costumes, including the masks of Jody Quackenbush.…

emotion, spirituality, and the colour blue Devonport Regional Gallery 2 November to 7 December 2024 Tasmania The colour blue has many qualities, from atmospheric to spiritual, psychological to pure aesthetic. In 1901, when he fell into a deep depression, Picasso painted in blue. Around the same time, German Expressionist artists called themselves Der Blau Reiter (The Blue Rider), referencing the journey from the real world to an imaginary one. And, when Yves Klein sought a colour that would accurately communicate the infinite immaterial space surrounding the universe, he created International Klein Blue. Drawn from Devonport Regional Gallery's Permanent Collection, this exhibition celebrates the pigment.…

Artworks from The JADA Collection Grafton Regional Gallery Until 8 December 2024 New South Wales A Line Going for a Walk features previous winners’ works and acquisitions of Grafton Regional Gallery's flagship exhibition, the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA).

Their approaches to the medium span the technical and traditional to the experimental, conceptual and performative.…
