Lee Miller cut a glamorous figure among the Bohemian art circles of Paris. As a fashion model she captured the eye and heart of Man Ray; as a gifted photographer she rivalled his artistic vision, photographing their world with Surrealist wit and a feminist conviction. Lee's career lasted 16 years up until her time as a photojournalist in Nazi occupied Europe, when the horrors of the Holocaust led her to quit photography. Antony Penrose is Lee Miller's only child and in charge of her archive which, incredibly, he only discovered after her death. Surrealist Lee Miller is on at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Victoria.Daniel takes a tour of an exhibition designed to evoke the sounds and feel of a Fijian family home -- only fragmented, the same way that memory works. Artist Salote Tawale has partially recreated a real-life fishing raft and house in an installation that mixes paintings, sculpture, and video karaoke at Carriageworks in Sydney.
For a woman who died at just 70 years old, Lee Miller seems to have squeezed a hundred different lives into one lifetime. After all, who else could say that they had been pulled from the path of a car by Condé Nast himself, modelled across the pages of Vogue, studied photography and collaborated with famous surrealist Man Ray in Paris, as well as becoming one of the first and only female frontline photographers in World War II. And yet, it wasn't until her son Antony went through her attic after her death that anyone knew anything about this incredible woman. On this episode of Under The Gloss, Phoebe dives into a story that has captivated the Vogue Australia team amid the opening of a Lee Miller exhibition at Victoria's Heide Museum of Modern Art. Speaking with Antony Penrose, Lee Miller's son, and Kendrah Morgan, Head Curator at the Heide, Phoebe unpicks the incredible life of Lee Miller and asks the question: why is it only now that we are learning this woman's name?

Evelyn Tsitas is writer, artist, and curator. Her published and performed works range across fiction, nonfiction, stage, and journalism. Evelyn's short story “Undeceive” won the first prize trophy and Innovation Prize in the 2008 Scarlet Stiletto Awards and while it piqued the interest of publishers it was deemed too innovative – as it was in verse! By that stage, however, Evelyn was on a path to academic research, thanks to her short story “Xenos” which won the Scarlet Stiletto Innovation prize in 2007 and became the basis for Evelyn's PhD research into speculative fiction and hybridity.“Xenos” featured a female protagonist on the wrong side of the law who may or may not be quite human, and was written while Evelyn was at a Bioethics conference listening to a presentation about the transplantation of animal parts into humans. Evelyn went on to curate three large-scale thematic exhibitions anchored in her scholarship: Future U (2022), Pleasure (2019) and My Monster: The Human Animal Hybrid (2018) at RMIT Gallery. She currently works at Heide Museum of Modern Art, and is also writing a non-fiction book based on her research, as well as a speculative art-crime novel inspired by her short story Stealing Back the Relics, about regenerated body parts and ancient reliquaries, published in And Then... The Great Big Book of Awesome Adventure Tales! Vol 1 (Clan Destine Press). Evelyn says that there is no doubt that winning the coveted red shoe opened doors within the crime writing sisterhood, and gave her the confidence to stamp herself with the ‘crime writing' brand – even though her work will always be oddly hybrid and speculative, image-based and narrative.CreditsConcept designer, co-producer, and narrator: Susanna LobezCo-producer: Carmel ShuteAnnouncer: Leigh RedheadProductionManager: Tim CoyGraphic Designer: Caz BrownCopyright Sisters in Crime Australia

Kendrah Morgan, Head Curator at the Heide Museum of Modern Art speaks in-depth about the first survey exhibition in Australia of modernist sculptor Barbara Hepworth's (1903–1975) work. Inspired by the landscape and human form, Hepworth was one of the leading British artists of her generation and the first woman sculptor to achieve international recognition. She was also the first Western artist to pierce the form in 1932. Her abstract works are timeless and continue to inspire audiences and artists today. Kendrah explains the span of Hepworth's oeuvre, the materials she used, and the discrimination she faced being a talented woman in a male-dominated medium. BARBARA HEPWORTH – IN EQUILIBRIUM is showing at the Heide until March 13. Book at https://www.heide.com.au/exhibitions/barbara-hepworth-equilibrium/ Broadcast on February 7 2023.
If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“Something that I am passionate about because we get it so wrong is; How we value and remunerate our work?”_________If you've been lucky enough to travel to Uluru and see the breathtaking light installation at the base of the monolith you'll be excited to meet my guest today! The ‘Field of Light' as that art installation is known, was a project that initially was only going to showcase for a few short months but has become so popular that it's been extended time & again. It truly is a breathtaking sight. The Field of Light is the brainchild and magical work of British artist Bruce Munro who is very well-known for producing large immersive light-based installations in many locations around the world. These dynamic exhibitions are made up of thousands of components and incredible logistic feats in their own right - let alone being so beautiful and bringing so much joy to all those that see them. Bruce is an artistic diarist, who has spent over 30 years collecting and recording ideas and images in his sketchbooks, which he returns to over time as source material. Language, literature, science, and music have also greatly influenced his work. Frequently, Bruce's subject matter is his own experience of fleeting moments of rapport with the world and existence in its largest sense of being part of life's essential pattern. His reoccurring motif is the use of light on an environmental scale in order to create an emotional response for the viewer. Bruce completed a B.A. in Fine Arts at Bristol in 1982. Shortly after he moved to Sydney where he worked in design and lighting, inspired by Australia's natural light and landscape. Returning to England in 1992 he settled in Wiltshire, but his love for Australia was never lost and it was fitting when he finally got to realise his dream to light up the Central desert in such a magical way. Bruce's work has been shown at Museums and Botanical Gardens internationally, notably, Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, The Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Waddesdon Manor for the Rothschild Collection, Buckinghamshire; Beyond Limits 2016 for Sothebys at Chatsworth House; Messums, Wiltshire and the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne. His work Field of Light continues to be exhibited at Uluru, NT, Australia, Sensorio, California, USA and at the LBJ Wildflower Centre in Austin, TX, USA. Bruce's work is held in private and public museum collections internationally including Cheekwood Garden and Art Museum, TN, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and Texas Tech University TX.Whilst he's a global superstar in this world as his work has been featured at Museums and Botanical Gardens internationally, it was Bruce's down to earth manner and sheer love of creativity and the process that I remembered fondly the first time I met him all those years ago. I'm so happy to be sitting down with him once again. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did - Bruce is such a wonderful being and brings such joy to the world.For more information about Bruce, check out these places;-Website: www.brucemunro.co.uk Instagram: @brucemunrostudioFacebook: @brucemunrostudioHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

Sidney Nolan remains one of Australia's most respected artists. His work can be found in museums across the country, and his iconic depiction of Ned Kelly was even used in the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics. But who was the man behind the icon?

Kendrah Morgan and Dean Cross discuss Nolan and two exhibitions at the Heide Museum of Modern Art.

“Art is this amazing subject,” says Robert Owen. “It comes from different people and it contributes to cultural identity in a way that can question ourselves…" In this fourth episode of The Long Run, our podcast series talking to artists who’ve had careers spanning 60 years, Owen talks about what it means to create over six decades, and what he feels is the truth of his art: a sense of oneness. Now based in Melbourne, Owen has led an incredible life of creating, working across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and public art. While his works are cemented in geometry and abstraction, they quite stunningly bring together a range of references from philosophy, poetry, music, literature, art history, mathematics and science. In this podcast Owen’s talks through his early practice and his ideas on art. He discusses his love of a certain shade of blue, memories of his childhood in Wagga Wagga, and the uncertainty he felt as a young artist. Owen also mentions the four years he spent on the Greek island of Hydra from 1963, living and working alongside well-known creatives like Leonard Cohen, and his time in Britain in the late 1960s working under constructionist painters. Finally, Owen tells us about the spiritual elements of abstraction, his reflections on a practice of 60 years, and his current survey show, Blue Over Time at the Heide Museum of Modern Art. The Long Run is an ongoing podcast series, and you can listen back to previous episodes with Gareth Sansom, Wendy Stavrianos and John Wolseley.

“this is the great moment, the thing that women all over the world are united in, was this fight for the vote... because with the vote they’ll be able to change all these other things. Without the vote they are powerless.” – Clare Wright As the first country to secure women the right to vote and stand for parliament, Australia led the way on one of the greatest moral issue of the early 20th Century. Yet this aspect of our history has largely been forgotten. Clare Wright, award-winning historian, writer and public commentator, has made a career of shining light onto these forgotten aspects of Australian history. With You Daughters of Freedom she continues this work, bringing to life the women’s suffrage movement in Australia. Late last year we had the privilege of hosting her at Bargoonga Nganjin, North Fitzroy Library, where she discussed the book with Natasha Cica, director of Kapacity.org. This is an edited recording, with audience questions revoiced by Yarra Libraries in some sections for clarity. Natasha Cica is the director of Kapacity.org, former CEO of Heide Museum of Modern Art and founding director of the Ingliss Clarke Centre. Clare Wright is an award-winning historian, writer and public commentator who has worked in politics, academia and the media. Her bestselling Beyond the Ladies Lounge: Australia’s Female Publicans, was published in 2003 and was followed in 2013 with The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka. Based on a decade of archival research into women’s roles in the Eureka stockage, it won the Stella prize in 2014, and was adapted into the successful young adult titles We Are the Rebels. You Daughters of Freedom is the second title in her Democracy series.

New Stories, Bold Legends: Stories from Sydney Lunar Festival
Elaine Chia is CEO of City Recital Hall, one of Sydney’s leading arts, entertainment and festival venues. Her career spans music, theatre and visual arts, and she is a passionate advocate for the arts. Elaine’s formal introduction into arts management began with the Australian Youth Orchestra. Her role on her first symphony orchestra tour was to source and coordinate host families for 110 young musicians in 10 cities across Australia. In 1996, she managed the National Music Camp with 240 music students and 100 staff and volunteers. Her role as coordinator, wrangler, persuader and responsible big sister was thus cemented. Elaine’s journey next took her to Belvoir St Theatre as business manager, then to Sydney Conservatorium of Music as marketing and development manager. Elaine moved to Melbourne in 2004 where she took on the role of acting CEO of the AMEB, and later, business and finance manager at Heide Museum of Modern Art. She returned to the Sydney Conservatorium in 2007, to the newly created role of international development manager. She established new off-shore programs and tours in Asia, Europe and the United States. In 2010 Elaine joined the Australia Council for the Arts, where she oversaw the Australian representation at three Venice Biennales, and the redevelopment of the new Australian Pavilion, which opened in 2015 on time and on budget. Both projects were delivered as public-private partnerships. She joined City Recital Hall in 2016 as the first CEO of the not-for-profit company established to manage and curate an annual program at the 1238-seat venue. In 2.5 years, the number of concert and events presented by the company has quadrupled. Elaine is the chair of Contemporary Asian Australian Performance, a resident company at Carriageworks which is dedicated to making exceptional contemporary Asian Australian work for all audiences. She also actively supports the arts as a donor, because she can, and therefore, simply, she should. When Elaine is not living and breathing the arts, she loves to run, mainly to balance out her love of gelato. https://www.cityrecitalhall.com/ https://newstories.net.au/elaine-chia/
Melinda Harper is one of Australia's leading abstract artists. Her works, filled with geometric forms and often with an explosion of colour, have been fascinating art lovers for over 30 years. Whether its hundreds of rectangles crammed onto the canvas or wavy forms filled with psychedelic stripes, your eye is going to be subjected to a feast of colour and form. In this episode we talk about, amongst other things, colour, why she paints in oils when acrylics would appear to be the obvious choice, and how, when she was at art school, her approach was not at all in fashion. Harper has been exhibiting for over 30 years and has had over 25 solo shows. In 2015, one of Australia's leading art institutions, Heide Museum of Modern Art, held a major survey of her work called 'Colour Sensation: The Works of Melinda Harper'. Her work is contained in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of NSW and other public and private collections. I caught up with Harper at her home near the town of Castlemaine, in the beautiful goldfield regions of Victoria. To hear the podcast interview press 'play' under the feature photo above. A short video of Harper in her studio will be posted to this website, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube soon.

The Featherston Contour chair is an icon of mid-century modernist nostalgia as copies flood the market and the original chairs fetch exorbitant prices at auction. Yet its designer, Grant Featherston, had little time for nostalgia. As he saw it, the important question facing architects and designers was how to live in a post industrialised, technological and urbanised world. He fought tirelessly to make design for social need as important as design for financial profit. Hosted by the Heide Museum of Modern Art a panel of design experts will explore key social issues in contemporary design practice before taking questions from the audience. Presented on Saturday 8 September 2018.
Lottie Consalvo is not only a painter. She works across performance art, photography, video and sculpture. She’s had 9 solo shows in painting alone in just 8 years and has had many more performances and group shows. In 2015 she was one of only 10 artists chosen to take part in a residency in Sydney with world famous performance artist Marina Abramovic and her solo exhibition of painting and sculpture ‘In the remembering’ opened recently at Heide Museum of Modern Art, one of Australia's most important museums. What's most surprising is that this is all at only 32 years of age. In this podcast episode, recorded in front of a live audience at Newcastle Art Gallery, we talk about her life and how she got where she is. She also talks about the way she has brought her painting and performance art together particularly in her work 'Ages and Ages', currently hanging at Heide Museum of Modern Art, pictured above. It was fascinating to hear about the private performance she carried out within that space in order to complete the work. To hear the interview press 'play' or 'subscribe' beneath the feature photo above. You can see a short video of Consalvo including footage of her in her studio on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel here.

Wild Thing: A conversation with artist Jenny Watson. What does it mean to be an 'Aussie Artist'? What is wildness and how do we allow it space to thrive? Tai and Jenny share their love of horses and the freedoms they offer to us as young girls whilst taking a close look at the Australian and international gallery scene and the ‘sober business of art'. They talk about the importance of depicting ‘broken women’ and female iconoclasts in paintings and the power of imagining other versions and stories for yourself.
