Innehållsförteckning för July 2023 från Art Almanac

This text will be short, deliberately. Each month, in each issue, there are concrete views and themes generated by the thought and creative processes of the artists, curators and writers involved. Some are highlighted in these introductory snippets, many are noticed before publication and form the premise of our editorial selection. For this issue, the concept of these written pieces kind of snuck up on us even though it’s always been an important focus. The concept: women. Women artists, women writers, women curators. . . and, a little Glenn Barkley (below).…

Glenn Barkley: the electrical experience Sullivan+Strumpf Until 15 July 2023 Melbourne Frank Moorhouse’s The Electrical Experience, 1974, subtitled “a discontinuous narrative,” chronicles life in a series of fragments reflecting the protagonist’s (and author’s) fear of losing his selfhood; the structural irony bridging these splintered narratives into a mutually uncomprehending connexion. Identifying with this disconnect and re-connect is Glenn Barkley, whose recent ceramic pieces were made in the wake and shadow of two personal events that changed and reshaped the artist’s personal world. This exhibition, therefore, takes its name from the title of this book. In the duality of personal reckoning and heartbreak, paired with a need to keep on resolving the practicalities of life despite its uncontrollable intervals, Barkley once again references Moorhouse’s work, noting that the writer’s “Honesty, experimentation,…

Diana Baker Smith awarded PICA's 2024 Judy Wheeler Commission Each year, the Judy Wheeler Commission supports an Australia-based artist to create a bold new work that responds to Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts’ (PICA) architecture and history as one of Perth’s first schools and now a contemporary art space. Art Almanac congratulates Gadigal/Sydney-based artist Diana Baker Smith who was recently awarded PICA’s 2024 Judy Wheeler Commission. Working across performance, moving image, and installation, Baker Smith explores the relationship between art history and its institutions through a feminist lens. She is also a member of the performance art collective Barbara Cleveland. Selected from forty-two submissions across the country, Baker Smith’s winning proposal will feature a text-based score and live performance created specifically for the mezzanine level above PICA’s Central Gallery space,…

Freshwater Saltwater UMI Arts Gallery 7 July to 31 August 2023 Queensland Freshwater Saltwater is UMI Arts’ signature annual group exhibition, showcasing the talent and rich diversity of mid-career, senior, and established member artists. The title reflects a metaphorical ideology of mainland Aboriginal custodians reliant on and connected to freshwater, and Torres Strait Islanders who are surrounded by saltwater. Freshwater flows through rivers and streams, moving always towards the coastal saltwater of the sea until waters meet, flowing together. This exhibition represents the “flowing together” of First Nations peoples’ cultures and stories, from rainforest to desert to island.
