SALAFESTIVAL2013

The festival has been expanding year

after year and this year sees 502

exhibitions and events with 4,917

participating artists. From the city to

regional centres, and everywhere in between,

the festival has the whole state covered.

Penny Griggs, who took over as Managing

Director last year, is navigating her way

through her first SALA and faces the challenge

of maintaining and increasing the festival’s

interest and appeal. She says, “It’s so big

already that it’s not about getting bigger any

more, it’s about remaining relevant.”

SALA celebrates some of the best art on

offer in South Australia and is important in

attracting new audiences to the visual arts.

“A big role SALA plays is demystifying visual

arts. Whether people seeing art in a pub during

SALA translates into them visiting an art gallery

is hard to say but I guess it is one step closer,”

explains Griggs.

This year’s program features the usual

smorgasbord of exhibitions and events in art

galleries, cafes, pubs, hairdressers, butcher shops

and other unique venues. Griggs has particularly

focused on the Studio Visits this year making

them a major feature of the program. “The open

studios are really popular, people love seeing

how artists work. They love meeting them and

finding out more about them.”

SALA is also offering more tours than

in previous years, helping audiences work

out what exhibitions and events to go to.

They have been working with the online

community Yelp who are planning walking

tours, bike tours, coffee tours and pub tours.

While SALA will continue to celebrate the

visual arts and connect artists with audiences it

is also important that it embraces the changing

visual arts scene. Griggs feels that SALA can

take this connection even further. “We would

like to take a little bit of SALA and take it on

tour. Perhaps in the future it is about promoting

our South Australian artists interstate and

overseas. It’s about taking a more of a global

view.”

This global view could work both ways. “We

could potentially bring artists from overseas

and interstate to South Australia. Whether it’s

during SALA or outside of SALA it would create

a professional development opportunity, an

exchange for artists. It would connect artists

with artists as much as artists with audiences.”

Recognising and embracing this globalisation

of art is imperative for SALA’s success in the

future. Griggs explains: “We live in a global

world and galleries are becoming more virtual.

Often work can’t be represented online so

essentially it’s about taking work to where

the market is. It’s not all about sales, it’s also

about representing what our artists do and

developing what they do.”

We also need to recognise the work South

Australian artists do outside of the state. “A

lot of our visual artists have success overseas

and it’s often not acknowledged here. Whether

that’s lack of communication, I don’t know.”

Griggs continues, “We would really like to assist

emerging and mid-career artists in being able

to take that next step in the global word.”

Provisional State reflects both the precarious environment of the desire to present significant visual art projects away from the secure but limited domicile of the cAcSA Parkside gallery, and the art of the state. “Provisional” in this context suggests ‘contingent’, ‘tentative’, ‘conditional’, ‘dependent’, ‘ephemeral’, ‘experimental’, ‘interim’, ‘limited’, ‘makeshift’; all descriptions apropos to past cAcSA contemporary projects of 2010 and 2012 and the unfulfilled desire to present once again in 2013 a critical and generative project within the cBd realm.

With Via Dolorosa: The Way of the Cross, Bok explores the intersection of a personal history with the politics of religious estrangement. The title of

the exhibition plays on the ambiguity of the word way directing the viewer to understand it as manner - the manner in which the Christian Crucifix has been deployed in numerous disguises to achieve political and social outcomes, usually with sorrowful consequences.

“The two explosions detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon lead me almost

entirely without intention to consider the crucifix as commentary on this global quandary,” says Bok. While the point of departure is clearly expressed, it is predominantly the process of painting itself that defines the work. The crucifix features in all paintings yet often morphs into merely oblique references to it. The associations the crucifix evokes are intentional. At times, however, the sentiment of the series leaves us to contemplate only the resolve of the distilled image - a visual abstraction bringing about a change in perception. “In embracing the crucifix as my vehicle, I thought about a way of working with it to express cultural inflexibility and insensitivity. In doing so, it lead me to scrutinize

its inherent design problem. It is either perfectly constructed and balanced or it is clumsy and uneasy.”

“Motivation precedes the image but it is the image that drives inspiration. My intellectual application requires accepting the process.”

FREEADMISSION

“And an honour to be part of a group exhibition with artists like Hossein and Angela Valamanesh, who have long been heroes of mine,” Buck explains.

By DaviD Knight

“Making art is such an isolated and solo journey for the vast majority of the year that it can be a challenge to have a realistic sense of where you’re going and if it’s all worth it. Opportunities like this certainly provide a great deal of validation, but most importantly, encouragement to keep going.”

Buck created Lithology exclusively for AGSA’s SALA event, with the giant six-foot piece inspired by her 2011 Landscape series.

“It was wonderful to have the opportunity to push those ideas a bit further, on a much bigger scale,” Buck said. “I had picked out that particular wall space at AGSA with Lisa [Slade] and Nici [Cumpston] [curators] before starting

the work, so it was great to have that in mind when deciding on the composition.”

Lithology, like her 2011 series, is part of Buck’s attempt to broaden the term landscape.

“The series initially began while I was living and working in the Blue Mountains in 2011, although looking back, its real genesis was a childhood spent in the volcanic limestone landscape of Mt Gambier, as well as family trips to the Grampians. I’ve always been a lover of mountains and geology. Although I’m no landscape painter, it was impossible to live in the magnificent scenery of the Blue Mountains and not respond to it in some way. I started to see terrains in the figures I was drawing – in the folds of their clothing, the curves of their forms and the compositions of their bodies. I also started to realise those figures I drew shared a great deal more in common with those mountains than just their appearance.

“As I walked the mountain trails and watched their forms change ever so slightly day by day, I realised they were in a constant process of becoming what they are – by ceasing to be what they were. Their terrain now is what the weather and movements of the earth and deep time have left behind. I realised it was just like us. We’re simply a faster kind of sandstone than those mountains – deposited, compressed, uplifted and carried away all in a matter of years. Drawing for me is, I think, an attempt to slow that erosion, or engage with it at least, and Lithology is our biggest conversation yet.”

Buck is known for her work with charcoal but says she is not necessarily limited to this medium.

“I would love to learn to paint or sculpt but for now, charcoal and I still have a long way to go with each other. Working with this medium is a seemingly endless challenge. The day that stops is the day it’s time to move onto something new.”

The UniSA Bachelor of Visual Arts graduate says she wants to stretch what can be achieved with charcoal.

“It’s interesting to look back at drawings from five or six years ago… they’re quite crude compared to those I’m doing at the moment. Every day I learn more and more about the possibilities of charcoal, and my own abilities in wielding it. It’s a process of continual refinement. Perhaps one day I’ll feel technically satisfied enough to loosen up a little again but for now, the pursuit of realism and detail in an inherently difficult to control medium has me hooked.”

Up next for Buck is an exhibition at Peter Walker Fine Art.

“I’m currently working on some much smaller pieces for this as yet untitled exhibition at Peter Walker’s. They do continue my exploration of landscape via the human body.”

Neha Awasti at Colin and Co

BY CHRISTOPHER SANDERS

The nine collections in Anne &

Gordon Samstag Museum of Art’s

second Revealed exhibition shows

the forces that move contemporary

collectors. This theme differs from last year’s

inaugural Revealed exhibition, which displayed

the jewels in local collectors’ crowns. Samstag’s

Director Erica Green says the Revealed series

of exhibitions “celebrate the crucial role that

private collectors play in supporting and

encouraging contemporary art practice and to

showcase the richness and diversity of private

art collections in the state”.

“The fi rst exhibition, last year, gave us the

opportunity to gain a better understanding of

just what exactly was out there, hidden in private

homes,” Green explains. “It was during this

process that the seeds for the second Revealed exhibition were sown. Like the process of

collecting, it is our desire that the Revealed exhibitions will change and develop over the

duration of the series. It is intended that each

exhibition will take a different approach and

feature new collectors to ensure each exhibition

retains freshness that continues to be a visually

engaging and enriching experience for visitors

to the Samstag Museum.”

With CollectorSpace, nine private local

collections are revealed from collectors such as

Mark and Jill Awerbuch, Candy Bennett, Rick

and Jan Frolich, Stephanie and Julian Grose,

Nicholas Jose, Khai Liew and Nichole Palyga,

the Michell family, Jeff and Lexie Mincham and

Vivonne Thwaites. The collectors collaborated

with Samstag’s curators to create Revealed.

“Developing the exhibition involved identifying

collectors and then visiting their homes, followed

by an ongoing dialogue,” Green says. “Identifying

the ‘DNA’ of their collecting would not have

been possible without these discussions with

the collectors, and their close involvement

throughout the entire process.”

Green discovered that there is nothing

predictable about collectors.

“Revealed2: CollectorSpace – I think

demonstrates very clearly that collectors are not

simply an indispensable part of the cultural food

chain, but are in fact also distinguished patrons,

driven by a unique passion and a genuine hunger

for the contemporary visual arts.”

Candy Bennett’s collection is captivating, as

it features new media installations. Green says

although video and new media installations are

ubiquitous in museum collections the medium

does present challenges for a private c ollector,

“who must not only acquire the work but also

install a viewing platform in their home”.

“So there is a great deal of careful thinking and

planning involved, not unlike that of a museum

curator,” Green explains. “Candy Bennett, of

course, is a very engaged and knowledgeable

visitor to the world of contemporary art

exhibitions, and I think her willingness to take on the challenge of acquiring such work

demonstrates her adventurous nature. She’s

not alone in this, however; other collectors

in Revealed2, such as Stephanie and Julian Grose

and Rick and Jan Frolich, also have substantial

collections of video and new media art. I do think

these people exemplify the enlightened role of

the private collector of art: their bold spirit and

involvement have been a fundamental companion

to the story of international modern art from

the 19th century. It has more often been private

collectors, inspired by artistic innovation and

driven by personal passion, who have sustained

the most progressive of artists – and today that

encompasses this very dynamic area of new media

in contemporary visual arts practice.”

Originally slated as a series of three exhibitions, there is a chance Revealed might extend beyond this.

“There is the depth and breadth of works of art

in South Australian private collections to present

a number of exhibitions; and to tell a number

of different stories,” Green says. “In addition,

these collections are continuously growing and

developing as new works are acquired. At this

stage, we certainly intend to do a third exhibition:

whether we decide to follow up with another

exhibition is a question we will keep open!”

“I thought ‘Who is out there? Who have I

met? Who do I admire? And who might

be interested?’” he says. What emerged

was Insitu, a group exhibition featuring

some of South Australia’s most talented

sculptors – Greg Johns, Astra Parker, Nicholas

Uhlmann, Dylan Harris and Worth.

The Botanic Garden as an exhibition venue

appealed to Worth because of his background in

landscape architecture. He made the transition

into sculpture after “seeing a lot of ornamentation

in the Middle East, really elaborate decorative

architecture and then thinking that some of my

garden designs in Adelaide would look great with

dressing up some walls,” he explains.

Insitu features 11 sculptures and spans three

areas of the Botanic Garden and National Wine

Centre – the Eremophila Garden, Australian Native

Garden, and a small area of the Wine Centre under

the jacarandas. Bringing together this ambitious

project has thrown up many obstacles for Worth.

“I’ve tried to step back from the fact that I am

in it too. I have been wearing many hats from

marketing to curating to exhibiting to OHS

officer to Graphic Designer. It’s been quite a

challenge,” says Worth.

Parker, who has three artworks in the

exhibition, Standing Pod Unfolding, Standing Pod, and Cell 2, is involved in a number of SALA

exhibitions but was particularly attracted to

Insitu because of the botanical element. She

feels the Botanic Garden location is a perfect

fit for her work.

“It’s just my ideal spot to exhibit. There is a

sense of serenity here. It is something that I hope

comes out in my work.” Parker continues: “It’s not

necessarily intentional but I think your artwork

is an expression of your own consciousness.

Serenity is something that is important to me

and sometimes comes out in my work. It fits well

in that kind of environment.”

Parker’s steel sculptures deal with ideas

surrounding the way nature reproduces itself

– the cycle of life. Her abstract seedpods can

often also be womb-like or a cocoon shape. “I like that cross over between the anatomical

and the botanical,” she says.

Taking her sculptures and displaying them in this

environment will allow them to be seen differently,

as opposed to inside a gallery or in an urban space.

“My work is very rustic and quite organic, it’s not

pristinely manufactured, not that clean cut kind of

look. It’s going to be great in the gardens because

the environment welcomes that kind of work.”

Worth’s initial idea of a solo exhibition has blossomed into something much bigger where

sculpture becomes part of the landscape, fitting

organically into the native surrounds.

The Monograph recognises an artist

who is on the rise. Bowers suggests,

“It’s not meant to honour what you

have done but rather honour what

you are doing and where you are going. It’s

an investment.”

Along with the release of the monograph

this month Bowers also has an exhibition at

the JamFactory. “It’s the biggest show I have

had in Adelaide for years so it’s a good chance to

show my work to a public who may not have seen

my work or might have seen only one piece.”

In spite of Bowers’ long career Adelaide people

might not be familiar with his work because he

doesn’t exhibit here regularly, concentrating on

exhibitions interstate and overseas. “You go

where the audience is and audience is not just

about people buying your work. It’s also about

people seeing and writing about it.”

Bowers has been fortunate enough to

have a full-time job for most of his career

with positions at places like Arts SA and the JamFactory. This gave him the freedom

to create artworks without being bound by

commercial pressures. “It allowed me to survive

as an artist though I still worked full time as

a ceramicist and my work became recognised

and widely collected,” he says.

Most contemporary ceramicists work on their

own whereas Bowers prefers a collaborative

approach, sourcing pots from other people and

then decorating them. “I decided I was going to

specialise in what really interested me, which

was the decoration – the glaze, the images,

the patterns and the representation on the

BY JANE LLEWELLYN

pot.” Bowers’ work is mostly underglaze with

overglaze added to it. Complex layers are built

up over many fi rings at different temperatures.

Pots are fi red to white heat and then refi red

at lower temperatures to add more colours

and gold.

Bowers takes the blank canvas of the pot

and creates complex decorative images of the

Australian native landscape inspired by his

childhood growing up in the bush. He also

reinterprets traditional imagery of ceramics

and creates scenes, which are both familiar and

strange, imaginative and slightly surreal.

Bowers says that while “my work is not

driven by particular conceptual theories, there

are aspects of commentary and concepts in

my pieces”.

Familiar motifs of Australian heritage are

presented with patterns of blue and white

Chinese porcelain, Indian textiles and William

Morris’ wallpaper designs, which aren’t just

there for their decorative appeal. These man-

made patterns enclose and restrict Bowers’

symbols of nature, representing what he

describes as an “oblique comment on man’s

impact on the environment”.

The SALA monograph is an impressive

award and a distinct milestone for an artist.

Bowers says: “It’s a real honour to be picked.

You just do what you do as an artist. You don’t

necessarily do it because you think one day

someone might turn it into a book.”
