New Talk Art!!! We meet artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran on the eve of his new solo show in Mumbai, India titled The Mud and The Rainbow.Encountering the sculptures of Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran is, at first, bewildering and unsettling, so multifarious and polymorphous are his references. Yet there is a logic to these works, a reasoning which draws the artist to his conclusions, such that we might use the term Syllogisms to understand his plastic experiments. Ramesh is quick to site the synthesis of Hindu, Buddhist and Christian iconographies, which are the inheritance of his Sri Lankan ancestry, to be found in his work, but one can just as quickly recognize affinities with animist African deities, Meso-American idols, and Polynesian effigies. Ramesh claims contradictory identities for his figures: guardians, warriors, goddesses, demons, jokers, and monsters. These multi-headed, multi-limbed, multi-orificed beings fuse elements culled from every possible living creature, both ambulatory and stationary, to perform the contradictory functions of welcoming in and frightening away simultaneously.Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran is a Sri-Lankan born contemporary artist who explores global histories and languages of figurative representation. He has specific interests in South Asian forms and imagery as well as politics relating to idolatry, the monument, gender, race and religiosity. While he is best known for his irreverent approach to ceramic media, his material vernacular is broad. He has worked imaginatively with sculptural materials including bronze, concrete, neon, LED and fibreglass, as well as conventional painting and printmaking materials and techniques.His signature neo-expressionist and polychromatic work has been presented in museums, festivals, multi-art centres and the public domain. This has included significant presentations at the National Gallery of Australia, The Art Gallery of New South Wales, The Dhaka Art Summit, Art Basel Hong Kong and Dark Mofo festival. His first major permanent public artwork was recently installed at the entrance of the new HOTA gallery.Recently, The Art Gallery of New South Wales acquired his monumental work ‘Avatar Towers'. This is an installation of 70 ceramic and bronze figures originally presented in the gallery's historic vestibule. His work is held in various other public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, The Art Gallery of Western Australia, The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, The Ian Potter Museum of Art and the Shepparton Art Museum.Ramesh is represented by Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney + Singapore and Jhaveri Contemporary, Mumbai.

Writer and Actor Elaine Beek joins Richard ahead of the premiere of ‘Jack and Millie’, Essence Productions’ latest piece at the Saltwater Community Centre. Based on her personal experience of navigating a cancer diagnosis, this play explores the hardships of illness with equal lashings of humour and sadness.Clare Bartholomew and Daniel Tobias, the duo behind multi-award winning ‘Die Roten Punkte’ are back with ‘The Anniversary’ a theatre piece following two baby boomers from Balwyn stuck in a joyless marriage. Described by Bartholomew as ‘mad, macabre and magical’, ‘The Anniversary’ combines elements of farce and absurd theatre into one big nonsensical romp. Finally, Alisa Bunbury, Curator of the Grimwade Collection at the Ian Potter Museum of Art speaks about ‘Pride of Place: Exploring the Grimwade Collection’, a book exploring the variety of visual and textual artifacts found in The Russell and Mab Grimwade Bequest. Edited by Bunbury, the book features over 40 contributors and offers a unique insight into the impacts of British colonisation.

May 27, 2020 Hello internet, it's Jerry Gogosian. I hope you and your family are doing well in these troubling times. It's been a while since I last released an episode of the podcast. Like many of you, life got real real and I have had to really focus on the brass and tacks for a while. However, during all of this, I’ve had the privilege of reflection. Time to finally start absorbing the reality of where we’ve come to as a species, as a culture, as a community of art lovers, as an industry… The inevitability of change is here and its time to start deciding what we want to do about it. (This is a longer conversation meant for another time.) ***But, I'm good. There will be several more podcast releases in the coming weeks so you have that to look forward to. For this episode, I decided to speak with the artist Kenturah Davis about her paintings and her practice's relationship liminality, language, and how textiles manage to weave their way into the history of human communication. It was truly a pleasure and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. But before we get started, I wanted to announce that after much searching for a quality Zoe + Chloe, I think I’ve found him. That's right. His name is Gunner Dongieux. I decided to record our interview to get your opinion. What do you think? Is he a good hire? Is he a Zoe or a Chloe? ________ Kenturah Davis lives and works in Los Angeles, CA with regular trips to Accra, Ghana. The artist earned her BA from Occidental College, CA and MFA from Yale University School of Art in 2018. Davis recently opened her first solo institutional exhibition, Everything That Cannot Be Known at the Savannah College of Art and Design Museum (SCAD) in February (2020).

Public projects include Four Women, a commissioned mural by Alliance Francaise to commemorate International Women’s Day, in Accra, Ghana and Metamorphose, comprised of five portraits commissioned by architect Elliott Barnes, featured in Barnes’ installation at the Lâ Exposition AD Interieurs, Paris, France. Her work has been in institutional presentations in Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Recent exhibitions include Plumb Line: Charles White and the Contemporary, curated by Essence Harden and Leigh Raiford at the California African American Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2019); Punch, curated by Nina Chanel Abney, at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, CA (2019); and Afrocosmologies: American Reflections, at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT (2019).

Professor Chris McAuliffe and his University of Queensland colleague are engaged in a project of modern archaeology, uncovering new insights about the late artist Robert Smithson by trawling through an archive of his belongings. Which raises the question: to what extent can we understand someone by examining what they own?We discover that the answer isn’t so simple. Our conversation takes us from our relationship to objects, to the degree to which we can truly know someone, to how much we even reveal about ourselves.Dr Chris McAuliffe is Professor of Art (Practice-led research) at the School of Art and Design, Australian National University and the Sir William Dobell Chair at the ANU Centre for Art History and Theory. From 2000–2013 he was Director of the Ian Potter Museum of Art, the University of Melbourne. He taught art history at the University of Melbourne (1988-2000) and was Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser Visiting Professor of Australian Studies at Harvard University (2011–12). Dr McAuliffe has curated exhibitions on Australian and international art. Recent projects include the exhibitions Robert Smithson: Time Crystals, University of Queensland Art Museum, 2018; We who love: Sidney Nolan’s slate paintings, University of Queensland Art Museum and Heide, 2016; and America: Painting a nation, Art Gallery of NSW, 2013.…The theme music for Better Things is “One More Time” by Fab Beat.Better Things is a production of the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences. It’s produced by Evana Ho.You can find us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @ANUCASS.

How does being a teacher affect your art practice? How can an artist successfully engage with an institution’s collection? How do we create our own opportunities and categories? What does it mean to trust your gut? For this final episode of the second series, Tai Snaith and Meredith Turnbull discuss a broad range of topics around what it means to have a multifaceted, self-driven and supported practice. They share their love and importance of championing OTHER artists — what it means to not be a curator but to keep curatorial skills as part of your practice. Once again the notions of collapsing the boundaries between traditional notions of craft, ornament and art are highlighted and celebrated. Meredith praises the approachability of jewellery and the way it acts as a continuation of dialogue around ideas of genre, discipline and material values. Together they question what ‘achieving’ and ‘professionalism’ really mean. Finally, the importance of looking back, taking stock of our practices; recognising what we have overcome and achieved and really asking which direction we want to take next.

Episode note:In this episode, Chloé Hazelwood, an art writer/independent curator, shared her knowledge about two unique exhibitions that she recently visited at Art Project Australia and the City Library of Melbourne. One was 'All Our Relations' (to 24/11); the other:'Weave Movement Theatre 21 years' (to 15/11). Both exhibitions featured the artworks made by the artists with disabilities. They took Chloé to a deep emotional and joyful state. From Chloé's vivid and detailed descriptions about the objects and images in the shows, Sarah and I imagined the exhibitions, and were touched by the naïvety and the direct self expression in these works. Following Chloé, Sarah talked about a past exhibition 'State of the union'. It was shown at Ian Potter Museums of Art, the University of Melbourne. In the exhibition, Sarah was attracted by Jeremy Deller's video work titled 'The battle of Orgreave (an injury to one is an injury to all)'. Through discussing all sorts of moments in the video, we, together, intended to unpack this complex and affective artwork. Again, I hope our discussions in this episode will interest you and bring you some new perspectives in the art. >The related links:Two speakers:Sarah Rudledgehttp://sarahrudledge.comChloé Hazelwoodhttp://chloehazelwood.comThe artists and exhibitions mentioned by ChloéArts project Australiahttps://www.artsproject.org.auAll our relations27/10 - 24/11/2018Shepparton Art museumhttp://sheppartonartmuseum.com.auRamesh Mario Nithiyer (artist)https://www.ramesh-nithiyendran.comChris O’Brien (artist)https://www.artsproject.org.au/artist/christopher-obrien/Weave Movement Theatre 21 years24/10 - 15/11/2018https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/community/libraries/whats-on/exhibitions/pages/weave-movement-retrospective.aspxThe city of Melbourne librarieshttps://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/community/libraries/By Sarah:Ian Potter Museum of art, the university of Melbournehttp://www.art-museum.unimelb.edu.auState of the union24/7-28/10/2018http://www.art-museum.unimelb.edu.au/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/fromyear/2007/toyear/2018/exhib-date/2018-07-24/exhib/state-of-the-unionJeremy Deller (artist)The battle of Orgreave (an injury to one is an injury to all) 2001http://www.jeremydeller.orgAlicia Frankovich (artist)http://www.aliciafrankovich.com/biography

Sri Lankan-born, Sydney-based artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran creates rough-edged, vibrant, new-age idols that are at once enticing and disquieting. His figurative sculptures experiment with form and scale and explore the politics of sex, the monument, gender and organised religion. While proceeding from a confident atheist perspective, Ramesh draws upon his Hindu and Christian heritage as reference points, also looking to popular culture including the internet, pornography, fashion and art history. For his latest solo exhibition at The University of Melbourne’s Ian Potter Museum of Art, self-portraits make frequent appearances and the dual presence of male and female organs suggesting gender fluid realms of new possibilities. Listen back to Ramesh and award winning journalist Santilla Chingaipe in conversation as they explore the possibilities of his latest body of work on show at The University of Melbourne’s Ian Potter Museum of Art, 'In the Beginning'.
