Episode #22: Extinction Studies

2020/12/16

Lucienne is drawing extinct things. She has drawn a fly. A skink. A turtle. She draws them incredibly well. She puts effort in. She does her work and uses her ability and her skill and I think she’s trying to honour these things. Because as she draws, she looks at images of these now-extinct, now-dead, now-gone creatures, and she wonders about them, seeing how well they had evolved to be the commonplace miracles that every living creature is. She looks at the detail, and sees the detail, and

Our final episode for 2018 is also the second episode of our "Stories from the Inside" sub-series. Our original cal-out for this series was intended to be a snappy single episode of stories from arts workers and artists about their work and careers. Instead we received some personal, thoughtful interviews that deserved their own episodes. In this episode we hear from artist and lecturer Brigita Ozolins and in 2019 we look forward to bringing you further stories from the inside. What are you

This episode is the first of our sub-series "Stories from the Inside" - an intimate look at the lives and concerns of artists and arts workers.

Beyond the Field (still) presented the work of seventeen artists across two venues – Moonah Arts Centre and Contemporary Art Tasmania. Curated by Anne Mestitz, the intention was to explore the work of contemporary artists whose practices sit in a similar genre to the 1968, NGV exhibition, The Field. Exploring the variety of experiences that artists draw from, Beyond the Field (Still) asks: what informs the work; what drives the artist; and what sensations do they seek to impart?

This June, James Newitt's exhibition Delay will open at Contemporary Art Tasmania for Dark Mofo 2018.

In this episode we talk to artists who use text as part of their practice: Jude Abell, Justy Phillips, Sarah Jones and Tricky Walsh about art and writing. We ask them simple questions in an attempt to understand the juncture of art and writing, and art as writing: Are reviews an essential part of being a professional artist? Does writing work to open up or narrow down an art practice? How is text presented as visual art, or what is important as framing text as art?

Antipodean artists traditionally head to the large, blockbuster art exhibitions in Europe, to experience the zeitgeist of contemporary art, at least once in a lifetime. In 2017 "the Big Three" - Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster, and the Venice Biennale - are in rare alignment and it seems many Tasmanian artists are taking the opportunity to check them out all at once. Our lucky host, Theia Connell happened to be on residency in Athens as Documenta 14 opened.

Art works made for festivals have to be pretty attention-grabbing to rise above the general clamour of sound, food, booze and big audiences. Does this mean that these art works have to be big, bright, loud and spectacular or is there room for quieter, more contemplative work at these events? We speak to Dark Mofo Creative Director Leigh Carmichael, artist Michaela Gleave, and artist, producer and SITUATE provocateur Paul Gazzola.
