Set in the remarkable landscape of the western wilds of Tasmania, Mandy Hunniford’s Remembrance, Landscape and Belonging is a large-scale, multimedia production. Created in Mandy’s studio in Queenstown over a twelve-year period, this ambitious eight-part series presents a variety of media including painting, film, sound design, digital light installations and a work of remembrance.
First created to acknowledge the great loss Queenstown has endured through mining accidents over the last century, Remembrance, Landscape and Belonging is now not just defined by the sadness of those years but also by Queenstown’s resilient, determined community and its distinctive, regenerating landscape. Presenting rich, multilayered experiences, Mandy seeks out both the sorrow and the beauty, the fragile and the robust, and how Queenstown is shaped by those elements.
Mandy’s investigation of Queenstown is explored through a combination of themes: the closeness and connections of its community, its beautiful but contested landscape and the complex histories of an arts-wilderness-mining town. Woven into Remembrance, Landscape and Belonging are many layers of text with copper and gold paint that signify the sources of Queenstown’s origins and heritage.
Mandy is the fourth generation of her family to come from Queenstown and has a genuine connection to the town and the West Coast through family and an existing engagement with the Queenstown community. Remembrance, Landscape and Belonging is a modern, innovative production that directly engages both young and old, building community pride and helping to bind the past with the unifying spirit of remembrance, landscape and belonging.
When is art now? This lecture will focus on definitions of Contemporary Art that focus on the experience of 'time', comparing and contrasting them with theories of contemporary art that hold it to be a (sub)culture, a genre, a period, or a style.
What does it mean to state that art is contemporary rather than to hold that it is modern, prescient, traditional, nostalgic, postmodern, ancient...?
What concepts of time do people need to develop and share in order to understand the contemporary?
Where and how is the temporality of the contemporary situated?
This lecture will outline some of the key ways in which art theory has attempted to approach such questions by introducing a few key concepts such as: supercessionism, presentism, contemporaneity, anachrony, polychrony and chronopolitics.
To illustrate how this works in practice, the lecture will examine the chronopolitics of the 2012 Documenta and 2013 Venice Biennale.
18 Saksala Art Radius Catalogue Sculpture Symposium 2005Marja de Jong
In 2005 FOAM/ArtRadius and Saksala ArtRadius organized a sculpture symposium based on the theme reductive abstraction. During the last two decades it seems that art has been attempting to give itself more content by accumulation. Combinations of superfluous materials and styles have lead to a redundant art. But this apparent development is only an aspect of art as a whole. What is presented as contemporary or even avant-garde is only that which has temporarily in the spotlights of the museums and galleries. The marketing of art by too many fashion seeking art historians and art promoters is continuously aimed at creating new trends. This would not be so detrimental, if only they would realize that different art forms have to exist next to each other in order to stimulate and nourish each other. Letting the artists determine their development themselves seems to be too much to ask.
