It's Spring. The rhythmic algorithms of cover artist John Aslanidis' geometric constructs, pulsating with colour, movement and energy, awaken us from winter's cold slumber and thrust us into the the new season; a world of warmth and activity. The flowers are in bloom, the birds are chirping, and the sound of ice cream trucks can be heard in the distance. It's time to step outside and visit the galleries and see the array of wonderful art on show. This issue celebrates the activation of the senses: to see, feel, hear and smell, even taste art, and there's inspiration everywhere.…

Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre Until 29 September 2024 Sydney Between Waves continues the Yalingwa exhibition series devoted to highlighting the significance of First Nations contemporary art practice of the Southeast within a national context. Through a range of contemporary artforms including video, installation, poetry, projection, photography, painting, sculpture, sound, printmaking, and a digital commission, participating artists developed reflective and site-responsive projects which explore and experiment with the intersection of material and immaterial realms of knowledge and knowing. Together, the artists prompt reflection on life shifts and cycles and centre notions of remembering, rehabilitation, regeneration and reclamation.…

Canberra Glassworks Until 22 September 2024 Australian Capital Territory For twenty years, Cobi Cockburn, who uses glass, light and line as her medium, has explored the emotional and spiritual connections to the colour white, investigating how abstraction, combined with the seemingly endless shades of white, can evoke human emotion. Pink Moon marks a departure from her established palette. Here, she uses colour as a metaphor for the human experience of being and feeling. Through creating large-scale yet intricate light-based sculptural works, she merges her skills in kiln-formed glass with industrial processes such as neon, architectural glass, and steel.…

Clayful, published by Street Smith Books, is an adventure into the world of miniature ceramics – a juxtaposition of form and function where artists play with clay to create tiny artworks that fit in the palm of your hand. The first book by Naarm/Melbourne curator and writer Sophia Cai, Clayful is a pocket-sized deep dive exploration started after discovering tiny ceramics on a trip to Seoul in 2019. The result of her research features thirty-two artists from all over the world, each who bring playfulness and a lot of “cute” to the medium of ceramics. How did your research into tiny ceramics unfold? The premise of the book centred on profiling ceramic artists from around the world who make small works in clay, each individually measuring smaller than 8cm. The…

Wagner Contemporary Until 18 September 2024 Sydney Melbourne-based artist Michael Gromm's work skilfully balances sweeping gestural marks and meticulously rendered forms through layers of fluid paint pours and tightly controlled patterns, often creating more questions than giving answers. “My paintings are neither purely abstract nor figurative, instead I prefer they sit at the cusp, simultaneously becoming and disintegrating. I intentionally embrace an intuitive processled practice in which forms are allowed to spontaneously erupt through fluid pours, some to be embellished and built upon, while many others are sacrificed under successive layers of paint,” the artist explains.…

Art Gallery of Ballarat Until 24 November 2024 Victoria Deeply sensitive to the effects of colour, light and atmosphere, Clarice Beckett (1887–1935) painted the life and scenery of her coastal home in south-east Melbourne with an eye for the commonplace and fleeting effects of nature. Her work captures a world on the cusp of modernisation, evoking both the natural environment and simple pleasures of suburbia. This exhibition features works from the National Gallery of Australia and Art Gallery of Ballarat collections, ranging from 1919 to 1935 through the tonalism movement to paintings Beckett created in her final years.…

Behind the scenes Graeme Drendel Booth G10 Influenced by the figurative painting of the Italian Renaissance, Graeme Drendel constructs his work by placing his subjects in the barren Mallee plains of his childhood. Drendel is exhibiting for the first time at Sydney Contemporary with Static and Silence, an exhibition made up of oil on canvases as well as a series of mixed media collage works which include isolated figures of solitude and introspection, even when depicted in groups or clusters. Their expressions and attire allude to larger obscured narratives, left to the viewer to decipher. Works also depict unaccompanied objects, poised within enigmatic scenarios that invite extended contemplation. These objects: a beautifully embroidered sofa, a rural water tank, or a lone worn suitcase resonate with presence, leaving us to ponder…

Damien Shen Booth J02 Damien Shen is a South Australian man of Ngarrindjeri and Chinese descent. As an artist, he draws on these cultural influences to create works of intense personal meaning, as seen in works such as A message from God to the Blackfellow, 2017, which is part of an evolving series where Shen draws on the encounters between the Ngarrindjeri people and Reverend George Taplin who positioned Shen's ancestors as inferior black subjects. “The series initially took the form of large portraits, depicting two of his great grandparents . . . submerged underneath a sheath of pale rhythmic dotting, ghosted in the virtues of whiteness while their selfhood was simultaneously erased by ‘well-meaning’ messengers of God,” wrote Glenn Iseger-Pilkington. Here, Shen depicts the missionaries alongside a single, confronting…
