“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?…

The creative process can be complex, likened here by Melbourne-based emerging artist Carissa Karamarko to an unwinding cassette tape – “my ideas unspool like tendrils of tape onto the ground around me. If only I could rewind my guts back inside me with a biro.” Karamarko tells us about her experiences in the studio, making work, not making work, and what lies in between: soundtracked to the tunes of Frank Zappa: Recently, I have been working towards two deadlines, the end of year group show, Grotto, at Saint Cloche in Sydney – which will have closed at the time of this issue publishing – and my third solo show in March 2022. For the first time, I experienced a conflict in how to move forward with my artmaking. I wasn’t…

Platform LAB expanded program We congratulate the recipients of the newly expanded 2022 Platform LAB program, a flagship artist development initiative presented by Platform Arts with the vision to increase industry expertise and live presentation outcomes for artists of all ages working at any stage of practice. Platform Arts have divided the residency program into four streams: Digital Residency, Studio Artists, First Nations Studio Artist, and Creative Development Artists. “We received an overwhelming number of applications for LAB this year from an outstanding cohort of artists around the country. This increased number of applicants speaks to the criticality of longer-form residency programs that support artist development as much as outcomes,” says Ilana Russell, Executive Director, Platform Arts. The recipients of the twelve-month Digital Residency include Aarti Jadu, Public Palace, Briony…

Barbara Hanrahan (1939–1991) was a South Australian artist, printmaker, and writer who utilised the modalities of visual art and printmaking to express her views and understanding of the world. This publication presents an exceptional array of works on paper made between 1960 and 1991, alongside essays written by Nic Brown, Collections Curator at Flinders University Museum of Art, Jacqueline Millner, Associate Professor of Visual Arts, La Trobe University, and Elspeth Pitt, Curator Australian Art, National Gallery of Australia, which describe the meaning and symbolic gesture behind Hanrahan’s provocative visualisations on sexuality and desire, birth, death and the eternal afterlife, relationships, societal politics, and the interrelatedness of human and nonhuman worlds. Over three decades, Hanrahan produced more than four hundred artworks in the form of woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, lithographs, drypoints, screenprints,…

Lilli Waters Orpheus Metro Gallery 2 to 26 February 2022 Melbourne Orpheus features a series of ten large-scale photographs and moving image artworks by artist Lilli Waters, which were elaborately constructed underwater using shells, fish, and flowers, and the female form. The striking subjects emerge from a dark waterscape to create an otherworldly ethereal visual. Works are reminiscent of the Dutch masterpieces of the seventeenth century and a reminder of the transitory nature of everything. Floating alongside the blossoms are jewel-like creatures, and shells, dramatically shrouded by golden nets, and sheets of suffocating cellophane.
