Lot 6: Indonesian Statue of Unknown Deity.

"In his journals, Moertono described the statue as "hideous" and "shapeless" and "malformed," indicating it was but a deeply-imperfect attempt at capturing something else, some shape beyond the mastery of human hands or human eyes."

This is one of the illustrations I made for the Dagon Collection book, along with an extract from the accompanying story, written by Nadia Bulkin! You can get the book here:

just some thoughts on Witches & Brides in Rgu

I’ve been reading up on folk horror & witches and it just popped into my head the theme of witches in Revolutionary Girl Utena...

Witchcraft has always been associated with the feminine & superstition, whereas science & reason is the domain of men... introducing witchcraft into RGU further reinforces the oppressive structure of the patriarchy, because historically, witchcraft and witches have always been associated with the estranged, the disenfranchised, and the seemingly weak.

Throughout film & media history, there’s this pervasive theme of how women who are witches will, rather than trying to use their powers to make themselves powerful, instead use it to reinforce the power of the men in their lives. Titles such as “How to Become a Sensuous Witch”(1971) and “The Do-It Yourself Witchcraft Guide”(1971) “provided instructions to cast spells, brew love potions, develop sex appeal, enchant the opposite sex, manipulate bosses ... But, for all of the promise of independence, women’s liberation, and feminine power offered by these books, in the end their domestic charms are still calculated to catching, holding, and pleasing men.” (Rebecca Baumann, in Domestic Charms, The Evolution of the Witch Wife, Hellebore No. 3: The Malefice Issue)

In Fritz Leiber’s Conjure Wife, Tansy, the witch wife, as well as the three other witch women in the novel (who are all referred to by their husband’s names e.g. Mrs. Gunnison, Mrs. Sawtelle, and Mrs. Carr) all use their magical powers for the benefit of their husbands. Fritz Leiber describes Carl Jung’s concept of the anima as “[M]an’s female component, forever dwelling in him, yet never at one with him,[...] the ‘eternal feminine,’ a cruel and jealous goddess...” and illustrates this very concept of the “anima” in Conjure Wife, with Tansy the witch wife.

Similarly, in RGU, Anthy, who is a witch, helps akio in furthering the duels in order for him to gain back his princehood (this isn’t because she wants to, but a circumstance of a witch, or a woman, living under patriarchy.)

However, both in RGU and in Conjure Wife, it is revealed that the power these men hold is just an illusion, one that would fall apart without the help of their brides. When Tansy’s husband Norman, discovers she’s a witch, he forces her to burn all of her charms and renounce her craft. What happens next? His professional career starts to crumble as he is accused of sexual assault, loses his chairmanship, accused of plagiarism, and is almost hit by a truck (all in all, he’s been cursed, and it’s evident that these were the consequences of betraying Tansy’s witchcraft.) In RGU, without his rose bride, akio can never be a prince again, and when Anthy decides to leave, the illusory power structures that held Ohtori together begin to fade.

Witches draw power from the Other, from the Unknown, and those who seek to maintain the status quo will always fear and dread this source. Anthy being a witch and a bride is significant, because to be a bride is to be close to the groom, and to be a witch is to be what men fear most.

A friend and I visited Carriageworks to see some of the latest contemporary art in Sydney. One of the biggest and most colourful works I have ever seen is Rebecca Baumann’s “Radiant Flux”, over a hundred metres of glorious rainbow light filling my eyes, and phone camera, with wonder. If you’re in Sydney I cannot recommend this magnificent work and free exhibition enough. ... @rebecca_baumann @carriageworks @unswphoto #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyart #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #fineart #photography #unswphoto #igersaustralia #iphonography #rustlord_unity #jj_mobilephotography #abstract #abstractart #jj_colorlove #unitedcolors_in #geometric #ig_ometry #pattern #estructuarte #halfandhalfproject #light #dichroic 28 (at Carriageworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8E3hnknCJs/?igshid=15q2t1ghnsuhu

Lot 22: Harpoon.

"Holmes mounted the harpoon upon a long bone detached from one of the dead, and he held it tight in his hands. He prayed to the deepest and oldest gods of the sea, those who listen only to sailors and castaways, that he might survive the night."

Exclusive to AGNSW, Matisse: life & spirit, masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou will show over 100 works spanning six decades from the French master.

Developed alongside the Centre Pompidou in Paris, known for its unmatched collection of Matisse works, Matisse: life & spirit will be the greatest single exhibition of Matisse masterworks ever to be seen in Sydney. Yep – you’ll be able to see his famed cut-outs, but also his adventures in paintings, sculptures, and drawings, tracking the vast and varied exploration of his artistic career. This is TRULY unmissable!

Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art February 29th – June 8th 2020 Art Gallery South Australia, SA

This year the Art Gallery of South Australia welcomes the hugely popular Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art back for its 30th year. Known for its risk-taking and expansive vision, the Biennial welcomes the wild, wacky, weird and wonderful.

The theme of the 2020 iteration is Monster Theatres, inviting artists to bring to life the ‘monsters’ of today. As described by curator Leigh Robb, ‘Monsters ask us to interrogate our relationships with each other, the environment and technology. They force us to question our empathy towards differences across race, gender, sexuality and spirituality.’

Artists involved in the Biennial include Abdul Abdullah, Polly Borland, Yhonnie Scarce + many more!

Water December 7th 2019 – April 26th 2020 Gallery of Modern Art, QLD

Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art never fails to disappoint with its innovative, world-class programming – and Water is no exception! Exploring the theme of, you guessed it, Water, this exhibition explores this vital element from the perspective of artists around the world.

Here is some of what you can expect, according to GOMA:

‘Walk across a vast, rocky riverbed created by Olafur Eliasson. See animals from around the world gather together to drink from Cai Guo-Qiang’s brilliant blue waterhole. Gaze at Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s snowman frozen in Brisbane’s summer heat. Traverse a cloud of suspended gymnastic rings in a participatory artwork by William Forsythe. View the tidal currents rise and fall around Angela Tiatia. Reflect on the cultural traditions of bodies of water with Judy Watson, and on the long history of our reliance on water through Megan Cope’s re-created midden.’

  Stanislava Pinchuk June 27th – October 4th 2020 Heide Museum of Modern Art, VIC

Stanislava Pinchuk (also known by her pseudonym, Miso) has emerged as one of Australia’s intriguing contemporary artists in the last decade. The Ukranian-born, Melbourne-based artist captures the changing topographies of war and conflict zones through data mapping, making tiny, individual pin pricks to realise these patterns – an incredibly labour-intensive and mentally and physically draining process that appears effortless, and beautiful.

This major exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne will feature a survey of Stanislava’s most powerful pinprick projects from the past five years, accompanied by terrazzo-like sculptures comprised of pieces of debris left behind in conflict zones.

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now May 30th – September 13th 2020 National Gallery of Australia, ACT

The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) celebrates its ongoing initiative to increase representation of artists who identify as women with Know My Name: Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now.

Drawing on works from the National Gallery’s own collection, as well as others from across Australia, Know My Name showcases the work of lesser-known artists alongside Australian greats from different times, places and cultures.

As part of the broader Know My Name initiative, a new commission by the Tjanpi Desert Weavers will be on display at the National Gallery. Patricia Piccinini’s iconic Skywhale (2013) will also see its new counterpart, Skywhalepapa (2020) ascend over Canberra on its maiden voyage, travelling alongside Skywhale eight times during the exhibition period.

Pierre Bonnard designed by India Mahdavi June 5th – October 4th 2020 National Gallery of Victoria

While Sydney-siders enjoy the masterful works of Henri Matisse, Melbournites won’t miss out on the opportunity to experience an incredible exhibition of another beloved French painter! The exquisite works of Pierre Bonnard will be on show at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) for their major winter showcase, a kaleidoscopic exhibition of 150 works from the painter with a fondness for domestic scenes and rural life. Pierre Bonnard has been developed in partnership with Musee d’Orsay in Paris.

Described by Matisse, a close friend of Bonnard’s, as ‘a great painter, for today and definitely also for the future’, this groundbreaking exhibition spans paintings, drawings, photographs, folding screens and early cinema, depicting scenes of modern 20th century France in bright, vivid colours.

Aside from the opportunity to see one of the works of this beloved painter, what makes this exhibition absolutely unmissable is the design of the show itself. Iranian Paris-based designer India Mahdavi (the interiors genius behind the iconic pink Gallery at Sketch restaurant in London) has been commissioned by the NGV to bring Bonnard’s extraordinary works to life, elegantly balancing historical references with contemporary culture in an immersive experience.

22nd Biennale of Sydney, NIRIN November 8th 2020 – 16th February 2021 Various locations, NSW

First held in 1973 as part of the opening celebrations of the Sydney Opera House, the Biennale of Sydney is now in its 22nd year and is one of Australia’s blockbuster contemporary art events.

Taking place across six major sites – Art Gallery of New South Wales, Artspace, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Cockatoo Island, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the National Art School – the Biennale of Sydney will see 94 artists from 47 countries

Under the guidance of multidisciplinary artist and this year’s Biennale Artistic Director Brook Andrew, the 12-week exhibition is titled NIRIN, meaning ‘edge’ in Brook’s mother’s Nation – the Wiradjuri people of western New South Wales. He says, ‘Optimism from chaos drives artists in NIRIN to resolve the often hidden or ignored urgency surrounding contemporary life.’

Carriageworks Commissions Rebecca Baumann: Radiant Flux, January 8th – June 14th Reko Rennie: REMEMBER ME, January 2020 – January 2021 Kate Mitchell: All Auras Touch, January 8th – March 1st Daniel Boyd: Video Works, January 8th – March 1st

Australia’s largest multi-arts centre, Carriageworks, has been home to some pretty major large-scale installation commissions in its time (who could forget German artist Katherina Grosse’s otherworldly technicoloured universe in 2018?). This summer, four new site-specific commissions from leading Australian artists Rebecca Baumann, Daniel Boyd, Kate Mitchell and Reko Rennie have taken residence in the epic historical space.

Spanning over 100-metres, Rebecca Baumann’s Radiant Flux sees every glass surface of the building’s exterior covered in a film that changes colour at every angle, flooding the space with kaleidoscopic light that will never be the same twice.

A study in human energy, All Aurus Touch by Kate Mitchell captures an aura portrait for each of the 1,023 census-recognised occupations.

Video Works by Kudjala/Gangalu artist Daniel Boyd features three major video installations, where gallery walls will be mapped with the artist’s otherworldly, infinite cosmos.

Interdisciplinary Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie references the massacre of First Nations people in Remember Me, a massive illuminated sign that will remain on display for the whole of 2020, the year marking the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s first landfall.

Archibald, Wynne & Sulman Prizes May 9th – September 6th 2020 Art Gallery of New South Wales, NSW

The Archibald, Wynne & Sulman Prizes are some of the most prestigious and highly anticipated art events in the country. Since its inception in 1921, The Archibald Prize the most well-known of the three awards celebrates paintings of notable figures that reflect Australian culture across areas including art, media, entertainment, politics, sports and more. The works are always a great capsule to represent Australian culture of the moment.

Finalists for the Archibald (portrait), Wynne (landscape/scenery) and Sulman (genre/subject) are shown in an exhibition that starts at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and tours at select galleries around Australia for the remainder of the year.

Regionale 20 Eine Karte -35/65+

23. Nov 2019 – 19. Jan 2020

Does age play a role in art beyond the biography of the artist? Does geography, beyond the place of the artist’s youth, and where they live and work today? For twenty years, the Regionale has been a unique event taking place at the center of Europe connecting three countries (Switzerland, Germany, and France), their histories, and traditions, leading to various exhibitions in different venues. It is not exclusively for young artists, nor dedicated to appreciating established ones. It is rather an inventory, and a cartography, in the best sense. In this edition of the Regionale, all of the featured artists are either older than sixty-five or younger than thirty-five. To juxtapose youth and maturity might have implied something different twenty years ago—when decades were more closely identified with particular styles—than it does today. Here, twenty-one artistic positions meet around two biographical “poles”, and together focus on thematic questions with both older and newly produced works of art.

Featuring Annette Barcelo, Selina Baumann, Camille Brès, Peter Brunner-Brugg, Jorinde Fischer, Pierre-Charles Flipo, Gerome Johannes Gadient, Hannah Gahlert, Vincent Gallais, Danae Hoffmann, Géraldine Honauer, Rebecca Kunz, Marie-Louise Leus, Catrin Lüthi K, Marie Matusz, Guido Nussbaum, Mirjam Plattner, Lisa Schittulli, Jürg Stäuble, Werner von Mutzenbecher, and Alfred Wirz.

Curated by Peter Pakesch, co-initiator of the Regionale 20 years ago and former director of Kunsthalle Basel
