Podcast appearances and mentions of adelaide biennial

In this special episode recorded at the Adelaide Central School of Art, Andrew Purvis talks to 2024 SALA Feature Artist Julia Robinson, and her monograph writers Hannah Kent, Leigh Robb, and Jess Taylor. They discuss the collaborative process that brought the book to fruition, and how each of the writers used Julia's work as inspiration for their pieces, particularly her interest in folklore, horror themes and feminism. Julia also delves into working with designer Rachel Harris on the visual representation of the monograph. In the Q&A section, Julia explains how the book was structured around each of the writer's interests; the process for creating her sculptures; and the significance of dark themes in her art. Finally, Julia discusses the impact of receiving the Feature Artist award, and the influence and importance of SALA Festival on her career and the opportunities it affords all artists.

We meet the Maori artist who's single-handedly reviving the lost cultural tradition of barkcloth making. As a right-wing conservative government winds back the prevalence of Maori culture and the teaching of Te Reo Maori, Nikau Hindin is collaborating with artists from across the Great Ocean for the Biennale of Sydney. She explains the complexities and risks in trying to breathe new life into a cultural practice after more than a century.My Art Crush …is Lavinia Fontana. National Gallery of Victoria curator Laurie Benson has long been fascinated by Europe's first professional female artist, 16th C. Baroque master Lavinia Fontana. First broadcast February 2022.Nik Pantazopoulos has been revisiting all the significant doors in his life. The artist started the exercise alongside  therapy, digging through his memories to capture the flyscreen door of his childhood home, to the intriguing stall door of a train station toilet and the blue door of a cottage on Mykonos. They all represent thresholds in his life. The body of work, Elevation, is on at the 2024 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. 

Jessica Loughlin's work is characterized by a strict reductive sensibility and restricted use of color. Fusing kiln formed sheets of opaque and translucent glass together in flat panels or in thin, geometric compositions and vessels, she alludes to shadow, reflection and refraction. Loughlin's work is influenced by the flat landscapes and salt lakes of South Australia, and the recurring motif of the mirage appears in much of her work. Each piece makes its own poetic statement.  “My work investigates space, seeing distance and understanding how wide-open spaces, particularly of the Australian landscape, affect us. I am fascinated by the unreachable space. The view we look upon, but can never reach. In this minimal landscape, all elements are stripped back, light becomes the landscape, and I am left looking at space, the space between here.…and there. This viewed distance is a place we can never reach, never get to, for as we move towards it, it moves away from you. Is this a real place or is it a projected space of the imagination. My work does not aim to represent this landscape directly but rather induce a state of looking inward and outward simultaneously.”   Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Loughlin is a graduate of the Canberra School of Art under the tutelage of late Stephen Procter. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Corning Museum of Glass, the National Gallery of Australia, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh GB, and the Musee de Design et d'Arts Appliques Contemporains in Lausanne, Switzerland. A studio artist for over 20 years, Loughlin has exhibited both nationally and internationally. In 2020, she was only the second Australian to have work selected as a finalist in the Loewe Craft Prize. In 2018, she was awarded the Fuse Glass Prize, and in 2004 and 2007, the Tom Malone Art Prize. She is represented by Sabbia Gallery, Sydney, Australia, and Caterina Tognon, Venice, Italy. A committed and passionate artist who is highly regarded both in Australia and internationally, Loughlin combines her thoughtful and instinctual approach with extraordinary technical skills. With a gentle color palette of soft muted hues, her work often explores ideas of evaporation, space and distance, all inherent in the Australian landscape. Loughlin's work was on view in late 2023 in a solo exhibition near | far at Sabbia Gallery, Sydney, and her piece of light is on national tour as part of the Jamfactory Icon series, accompanied by a monograph of her art Jessica Loughlin: from here published by Wakefield Press. In 2024, Loughlin was selected for and will participate in the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, March 29 through June 2.  

Opening on 29 February, the 18th Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Inner Sanctum, curated by José Da Silva, assembles 24 leading artists and poets for an exhibition that can be seen, heard, and felt at the Art Gallery of South Australia until 2 June. As part of the 2024 Adelaide Festival, Inner Sanctum on Kaurna Yerta unfolds across free exhibitions of new and recent works, live performances, music and public programs, all highlighting our engagement with the world and each other. Curator José Da Silva says, ‘The idea of an ‘inner sanctum' evokes the private, protected, or sacred spaces we create in our homes and communities as a refuge and sanctuary, as well as the faculty of imagination, which allows us to see culture and society differently. Within the exhibition, this takes place in homes and gardens and on walking tracks, and in memories and stories of family and ancestors. It is also seen in locations of special knowledge, sacred activities, cultural environments, and, importantly, in the working spaces of artists and the art museum itself.'In this segment, we hear from Adelaide Biennial Curator, Jose Da Silva who has over twenty years of curatorial experience in Australian art museums, George Cooley, a First Nations Artist and old time Opal miner and community leader from Coober Pedy and  Jess Loughlin, one of Australia's most internationally acclaimed glass artists.

@arch_pierre_mukeba The light and life in Pierre Mukeba is undeniable. The self taught artist won the Churchie art prize in 2017, the RamsayArt Prize People's Choice in 2019, and has exhibited in the Adelaide Biennial and the NGV Triennial and has had two solo shows with Roslyn Oxley. Pierre's story is one of navigating culture and finding what you want to say as an artist; of self belief and persistence; and of shooting for the stars. In today's episode of Interview With An Artist we talk about many things including: how his first foray into study was accounting how his mum gave him the advice to look to his own story and heritage for his art how his bedsheets played a vital role in kicking off his practice and what his hopes are for a big bright career I'm just warning we laugh a lot. And towards the end Pierre's friend comes and joins us in the studio. It was such a treat talking with Pierre and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it. Also, here is the link to the talk he mentions. ******** Interview With An Artist is hosted and produced by Willy (Wilamina) Russo. Along with Championing the arts through this podcast and her radio work at 2ser107.3FM, Willy is also an artist mentor.

On Episode #79 of the podcast I have a deadly yarn with Megan Cope. Megan is a Quandamooka (North Stradbroke Island in South East Queensland) artist. Her site-specific sculptural installations, video work and paintings investigate issues relating to identity, the environment and mapping practices.Megan's work often resists prescribed notions of Aboriginality, and examines psychogeographies that challenge the grand narrative of ‘Australia' and our sense of time and ownership in a settler colonial state. These explorations result in various material outcomes. Megan's work has been exhibited in Australia and internationally including at the Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art; Art Gallery of New South Wales; Para Site Contemporary Art Space, Hong Kong; Careof Art Space, Milan; the Australian Embassy, just to name a few.In 2020, Cope presented newly-commissioned work at the 2020 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Monster Theatres. She has also featured work in the NGV Triennial 2020, the 2021 TarraWarra Museum of Art Biennial: Slow Moving Waters and in the 2021 exhibition, OCCURRENT AFFAIR: ProppaNOW at the University of Queensland Art Museum. Recent solo exhibitions include Fractures and Frequencies presented at UNSW Galleries as part of Sydney Festival 2020/21, and Unbroken Connections at Canberra Glassworks, following an artist residency. Join our yarn as we dive deep into Megan's story. It's fascinating! We learn all about her journey as an artist, travelling the world and some of the exciting projects she currently has in the works.

Karla Dickens has brought her own sinister circus to Adelaide, 'A Dickensian Country Show' is a uniquely Australian iteration of the funfair, absorbing and repurposing the trappings of regional country fairs and Easter shows. Dickens looks behind the scenes of carnival life, and beckons us into the side-shows and boxing rings to reframe the ‘greatest show on earth’ as a carnivalesque pastiche of Australian history and politics. Her fortune tellers offer portents of doom and visions of a ravaged planet. In no holds barred fashion, Dickens’ troupe of carnival performers speak to the atrocities of colonization, declaring that ‘True Horror is the massacre of Australia’s first people’.
