Many thanks to Anthony white for a great chat over Zoom all the way from France. His upcoming show - OPENING/PRIVATE VIEW:SATURDAY 15 JULY12PM-4PMFLOOR TALK WITH DR PETER HILL SATURDAY 15 JULY EXHIBITION CONTINUES 30 JULY 2023 MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA Please note this event is free but booking is advised: contact@lennoxst.gallery or +61 409 409 239Lennox St. Gallery presents Manifestation, an exhibition of new works by Paris-based artist Anthony White. Marking a new direction for the artist, Manifestation consists of a series of 10 paintings responding to Sidney Nolan's 1966 Eureka Stockade mural in which White reclaims the painterly gesture as a form of dissent. This is White's third solo show with the gallery, his first in the new space as Lennox St. Gallery and his first body of work made as a response to a single work of art.White draws on new research into the 1854 Eureka Rebellion (Australia's only ever armed civil uprising), the personal papers of Sidney Nolan and recent protest events in France, highlighting the increasing importance of his engagement with material, concept and history. Painted in France during a period marked by widespread public protests, these ten new works continue White's wider thinking around the painterly gesture as a form of dissent, as well as the act of civil disobedience, or, in French, Manifestation – a protest, public event, action, or object which embodies an idea.Following White's recent creative fellowship at the National Library of Australia, Canberra, Manifestation responds to the anti-colonial spirit in Sidney Nolan's Eureka Stockade mural which White spent time with in Canberra at ANU's Drill Hall Gallery. Commissioned by the Reserve Bank of Australia, the mural depicts the pivotal event of the Victorian gold rush – a crucial point in Australia's democratic history. White's research into the papers of Sidney Nolan at the National Library, uncovered correspondence which reveals Nolan's response to the only first hand account of the Eureka rebellion written by the Italian revolutionary Rafaello Carboni. Manifestation considers Nolan's engagement with that European vision of the event, the legacy of Eureka and the development of a particular Australian psyche typified by a defence of democratic values. Each work incorporates an event or individual element from the Eureka battle as depicted in the Nolan mural: Hotham incorporates imagery resembling mounted policemen; Eureka Hotel and the largest work Manifest (After Eureka) 125 x 235 cm [shown above] depict the epic destruction of Bentley's Eureka Hotel caused by a fire started by rioting miners on the 12th of October 1854. In each work White finds equivalent ways of harnessing the energy and dissenting spirit of the battle.“I went to the Nolan archive to capture this anti-colonial spirit inherent in some of the images of the mural to emphasize the sense of dissent but what struck me was the ethnic diversity of the period in Victoria. What I found was Chinese, Italian, African Americans, Jewish and Irish migrants revolting against the colonial government. It manifested as the Eureka Rebellion which became a crucial part of Australia's engagement with democracy” In the current moment we are seeing the increasing relevance of civil disobedience in movements such as The Yellow Vests in France and groups like Extinction Rebellion protesting for climate change, increasing class inequalities or retirement ages. In my mind there is no doubt that the power of democracy is diminishing internationally and I feel we need to voice our discontent with government policies that infringe on personal liberty, especially the right to protest peacefully.” – Anthony WhiteYou can find out more about Anthony on his website

In the 1850s, gold was struck to the west of Port Phillip, VIC, near a town called Ballarat. Before long, the goldfields were full of immigrants and Australians alike, each seeking their fortune. However, where there is gold, there is government. The Victorian government, on behalf of the British, was quick to impose a license and fee on the diggers, seeking to make as much money as they could from the fields. But, over time, the government got greedy. The price went from half a pound per month to three pounds a month - almost $500 today. For families seeking their fortune and finding nothing but rock, this was becoming a bad joke. As in other gold fields, the diggers got talking, and their woes were shared and spread...Part 2 of 4.

Relations between the authorities and the diggers on the Ballarat goldfield continued to deteriorate, and despite the reports of corruption and violent behaviour being reported to the senior government officials, no action was being taken. Following a murder on the goldfield, the miners meeting protesting the corrupt investigation that took place afterwards, escalated into a riot, and the Eureka Hotel was burnt to the ground. A number of influential men on the diggings formed the Ballarat Reform League, to represent and advocate for the Ballarat diggers and their families, and to make representations to the government about the causes of the riot.  But with no satisfactory discussions taking place, the miners lost all patience and resolved that the only course of action open to them, was armed resistance.  A flag was raised, oaths sworn and the men set about organising  a defensive stockade.

Things are getting crazier and crazier on the Ballarat goldfields. A young miner called James Scobie is murdered and the diggers are outraged when the justice system fails them. Not only that the police rough up Johannes Gregarious the disabled servant of the local Catholic Priest. In retribution the diggers burn down the Eureka Hotel.   

In which our heroes rummage through the house, gather everything into piles and work out what items to throw out as we discuss garbage. We try and figure out the difference between garbage and recycling, discover poop-pipes and decide when is the right time to just put your fruit in the bin. Jackson has a computer that can only play solitaire, Zoe is avoiding making a poop-face in public and Duscher just wants to ask police officers questions. So join the gang as they take out the trash. This episode can really be describes as that type of garbage that stays in your office bin because it’s mainly paper and a few rotting apple cores, but not enough to justify getting up and getting rid of it.  Want to help Duscher become a garbage man?

In which our heroes watch as their parents get shot by a mugger and they have to wait until they're grown up to do something about it. Luckily, they can spend the time watching Gotham. We talk about doing Batman without Batman, wonder what it would be like to be a cop in Gotham city and ask where did it all go wrong? Zammit asks why would anyone compress an entire season into a single episode, Tom blames Bruno Mars and Edgoose and Sean both pitch their own respective Gothams. So sit back, find a comfy spot in the bat cave and join us in asking just what the hell is Fish Mooney anyway as we attempt to fix Gotham.

In which our heroes regress back to eating all their food through the time honoured airplane method, shake brightly coloured rattles and automatically look adorable in tiny outfits while we discuss babies. We unwillingly keep an accidental dead baby tally, the effectiveness of baby spies and question why wolves think it’s a good idea to raise a small human. Ben teaches us how babies can hone in on frequencies like robots, Marley is trying to get babies jobs as accountants and Jackson just wants to know the cutest animals in baby form. So join the gang as they delve head first into dirty nappies, bottles and dummies. It’s somewhere between gross and adorable, just like real, actual babies. They’re gross. But I want one.

In which our heroes run faster than a speeding bullet, become more powerful than a locomotive and leap tall buildings in a single bound as we discuss which superpower would be the best to have. We try to sneak into a music festival, work out the logistics of fighting with flame-teeth and have a battle of The Primes. Jackson picks hole (no seriously, he picks holes), Zammit has no choice but to fight himself and Duscher just wants to see the world and himself burn. So join the gang as they celebrate a hundred episodes the only way they know how; in an arbitrary fight where there are no winners and everyone goes home disappointed. Here's to a hundred more!

In which our heroes invite Thor around for drinks, Netflix and Chill with Tony Stark and consider going bowling with the Hulk as we discuss which of the Avengers would be the best friend. We lay down some ground rules for what makes a good friend, talk about jumping on grenades and decide that the best friend is one who always matches your mood. Jackson ignores the rules of the game, Zammit is an awful friend to Hawkeye, Sam becomes the Zammit of friends and Cal just wants to detail his plan to get an Iron Man suit. So join the gang as they crash the Avengers Mansion to hang out with their brand new bestie before being escorted from the premises for being a bad influence on Captain America.
