Catherine O' Donnell's Rome Residency

The British School at Rome

 

NADC Visual Arts teacher Catherine O'Donnell has just been awarded The British School at Rome Residency, one of the National Art Schools major awards for 2014. The British School in Rome (BSR) is leading humanities and fine arts research institution and one of the most prestigious research academies in Rome. For over 100 years world-class researchers of the art, history and culture of the western Mediterranean and the best contemporary artists in the Commonwealth have been nurtured at this institution.

This 2015 Visual arts residency will not only provide Catherine with the opportunity to research and focus on her work, but also to use her fully equipped live-in studio for three months as a base to explore Rome and Italy's rich visual culture of the past. 

Rome holds countless significant sites of reference and research for Catherine as her work for the past 10 years has focused on the use of linear perspective and geometry. Her time at the BSR will be spent studying the techniques and theories employed by the 16 & 17th Italian Masters in their powerful architectural illusions. The Italian artists of this time created illusions of soaring architecture and floating figures painted on a flat ceiling which belies the real bounds of the actual physical space. Their paintings were organised in accordance with a scientific vision, bringing the depicted space into contact with true space. They developed an advanced understanding of optics, mathematics, geometry and linear perspective and it is these classical traditions of western art that Catherine will be studying, in both the writings and artworks of key Baroque artists.

You can check out some of Catherine's work at her website http://catherineodonnell.com.au/ and read more about the British School at Rome here: http://www.bsr.ac.uk/
Congratulations Catherine!

Urban Heat Islands

video production still, artist: Martin Horan

Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts students from Nepean Arts and Design Centre have been working in conjunction with Penrith City Council and multi-media artist Peta Khan to create works responding to the idea of the Urban Heat Island Effect, where urban areas absorb heat and release it back into their surroundings, creating islands of increased temperatures. The increase in roadways and built structures, and the removal of trees and other vegetation all contribute to this.

For many of these artists this is an issue that strikes close to their heart. Here in the west of Sydney, they find themselves in an area always several degrees warmer than their coastal counterparts. It is also an area experiencing rapid growth, where new housing developments are forming islands of their own.

The resulting  video work on show at the Dame Joan Sutherland Centre in Penrith is a compilation of pieces which range from local actions and interventions, to personal articulations and reflections, to pieces which engage with a larger environmental focus, showing concern with climate change, urbanisation and deforestation in general. The tree is a key feature in many of these works, as a symbol of cool refuge from the heat of our cities.

Creating works for video was a new experience for the artists, many of whom were more accustomed to traditional 2D disciplines, but one which was embraced enthusiastically as a collaboration between themselves and multi-media artist Peta Khan. Students were asked to respond to an initial brief and develop works suitable for video projection, and Peta had the challenging task of working with these pieces and knitting them into a cohesive whole.

The final video piece was screened at the ‘On Islands’ art festival at Eramboo in Terrey Hills, and will be screened at The Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre until December 17th from 7:30pm each night.

The new suite of exhibitions at Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest opens on Saturday 30th of August from 4pm-6pm. NADC Head Teacher Cath Barcan is exhibiting in
 'Green -Environmental explorations' in Lewers House. She is also featured in the Artist Board.

Wiradjuri artist Bev Coe and Sydney-based artist Bronwyn Berman celebrate the Lachlan and the Nepean Rivers in the large gallery, with the exhibition 'River to River'.

It promises to be another great suite of exhibitions, and as always, a fun opening. We'll see you there!

Blue Mountains Cultural Centre fundraising auction

Our friends at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre are holding a fundraising exhibition, 'Collectors Edition #1', which is being launched on Friday, August 29 at 6pm. The exhibition will be officially opened by Anthony Bond OAM, and is being held to raise money for the Cultural Centre's acquisition fund. Sixty prominent artists have donated work for the exhibition, and works will be for sale through silent auction. Sounds like a fun way to start your collection!

Lumen print workshop

Photography teacher Jo Newton ran a small workshop at Penrith Regional Gallery and the Lewers Bequest over the school holidays. Participants made Lumen prints, a process related to the photogram which uses photographic paper but requires no darkroom. After an hour and a half in the sun black and white photography papers reveal some beautiful colouration.



Two lumen prints produced by students at the workshop

As part of the Colour and Light exhibition at the Lewers Learning Centre, Jo has installed 12 pinhole cameras around the gardens. The exposure started at the opening of the show and will conclude 3 months later when the photos will be printed. The images these cameras will produce are called solargraphs, as they document the path of the sun across the sky over weeks/months, and students at the workshop also made their own cameras loaded them with photo paper to install in their gardens at home.

More information about Lumen printing can be found here, and some fabulous examples are here. There are some wonderful images of solargraphs on flickr. If you'd like to make your own camera there is a good explanation of the process on instructables.

Cath Barcan exhibits in MAP project

NADC Visual Arts head teacher Cath Barcan is one of the artists in the latest Modern Art Projects exhibition. MAP explores the junction of art and architecture by staging exhibitions in private homes in the Blue Mountains, and many of these homes are classic examples of mid-century design. 

The latest exhibition, curated by Rilka Oakley, is being held on Sunday July 6. Playfully titled 'Hide and Seek' the exhibition situates artworks in and around the domestic architectural setting.

The MAP website explains further:

"Unfolding like a game the Hide & Seek exhibition navigates points of view, while challenging our default perspectives on things. The curator notes “Objects are often observed from a single view (whether this is intellectual, conceptual, historical, physical, emotional or just habit)”. As such the curation suggests looking at things from multiple points of view may be an invaluable tool. Hide & Seek negotiates this idea, and invites the viewer to find the art, to look and ask, is this the art? To spend time making an assessment of what they are looking at, or even how they are looking. “This engagement with the process of discernment or decision-making allows space for new perspectives to emerge”. The select guest artists in Rilka Oakley’s Hide & Seek curation are Cigdem Aydemir, Cath Barcan, James Culkin & Beata Geyer, Anne Graham, Billy Gruner, Daniel Kojta and David Sudmalis."

 Entry is by registration only; follow the link for more details.

It's never too late to study art!

 Ray Atkins stands with one of his artworks. Source: News Limited

 

 Diploma of Visual Arts student Ray Atkins has a lovely story in the Parramatta Advertiser this week, talking about the fulfillment studying art has given him. Follow the link, or read the text of the article below.

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/parramatta/its-been-a-long-journey-for-ray-atkins-but-at-66-hes-finally-found-his-muse/story-fngr8huy-1226933182061

RAY Atkins has travelled a long road to become the art student he wanted to be when he left school.
But, at 66, Atkins is just happy to be finally studying fine arts at TAFE, after a lifetime that has seen him close to death, in a variety of jobs and with a marriage under his belt.
While he has never been far from the paint brush, it was only when he joined Parramatta Art Society in 2009 that he realised art was his first love. He paints abstracts and landscapes.
“Getting great encouragement from the society made me think again about studying art, so I enrolled in a fine arts diploma course at Kingswood TAFE, which I am enjoying and I may end up doing the advanced diploma course,” Atkins said.
He shrugs off the possibility he may have worked in art, perhaps as a teacher, if he had studied it from a young age.
Acting was another possibility but he knocked back an interview with NIDA for reasons that are not clear to him even today.
“My mother, who is still alive at 92, still keeps reminding me of that missed opportunity,” he said.
But his mother is just glad he survived a horrific car accident when he was 20, causing severe brain damage with the possibility he would have disabilities for life.
That accident set him back as he faced years of rehabilitation, facing the prospect of never walking again.
But, showing the same determination and sunny nature that sees him enjoying art classes with people of all ages, Atkins bounced back, working as a linesman assistant for a power company and as a an army storeman — all far removed from the creative life.
Along the way he married, and divorced.
But art still featured in his life and it was while entering in the Blacktown Art Show that he saw a notice about the TAFE art course.
“And I haven’t looked back,” he said.
“I want people to know that it is never too late to realise your dreams.”

Joint Venture: A Visual Arts Exhibition as part of Head On Photo festival

Han from Diploma of Visual Arts installs a piece for 'Joint Venture'

 

Students of Visual Arts photography at Nepean Arts and Design Centre have an exhibition as part of the Head On Photographic festival.

 

Joint Venture is opening in the Trapezium Gallery on Thursday May 22 at 12 noon. It is a fun, experimental exhibition that makes full and inventive use of the Trapezium Gallery and the walls beyond the gallery, and features a playful, composite approach to installation and photographic image making.

 

The title of Joint Venture  alludes to a way of working the students have been exploring whereby images are comprised of multiple frames and viewpoints, creating a collage-like result. It also refers to the collaboration between Diploma and advanced Diploma students of Visual Arts who were given the same brief to explore, and their various responses to this brief.

 

The exhibition runs until May 30. Don't miss this fun and experimental exhibition!

 

 

 





Me, Myself and I closing and book launch

It was great to see everyone at the Me, Myself, and I exhibition closing on Wednesday where we launched our 4th book. The book is available for purchase from Blurb.com, and can be accessed from the link below (or on the right). There has been a delay in the e-book availability due to formatting issues - we will let you know as soon as they are resolved. Congratulations to Caitlin Buckingham, whose work was chosen for the cover, and to Jacylyn Lindsay whose work was chosen to represent the 2014 exhibition on the cover of next years book. Emma White and Jacylyn Lindsay each won a copy of the current book in our 'lucky door prize' draw.

 

The exhibition has now come down - many  Thanks to all our participants for your many and varied contributions to the exhibition. Works will be returned over the next few weeks. If yours is NOT returned it means it has been chosen for pre-selection for next years book. At the closing we also announced that next year will be the 10th anniversary of our annual self-portrait show, and so we'll be mixing things up a bit and inviting anyone who has ever studied/worked at NADC to participate - we anticipate it will be massive, and very much look forward to the opportunity to catch up with past graduates.

 

 

Update - New Closing Date!

Due to unforseen circumstances the closing of Me, Myself and I has been moved to 12noon Wednesday May14th. We will be giving one of our books away as a lucky-door prize, and announcing which one of the works on show will be the cover of next year's book.

Me, Myself & I

Our annual show, Me, Myself & I is back again - the walls in the Trapezium gallery are currently lined with hundreds of self-portraits by students and staff of NADC. The show is open from 01/05 - 14/05 9am - 4pm weekdays, with a closing event on Thursday the 15th Wednesday May 14th at 12 noon.

At the closing we will launch our book of selected works from last years show, and for the first time it will also be available as an e-book! We will also be converting our previous publications to e-books. You can view (and order) books from previous years by clicking on the links in the sidebar (but the new book, and e-books, won't show up there until the launch on the 15th 14th). We hope to see you there!

Another exhibition for Di Holdsworth

Di Holdsworth, 'The Tryst', (detail) mechanical assemblage, 2013

NADC visual arts teacher Di Holdsworth is continuing her run of recent exhibitions. Di is currently included in an exhibition in the Sydney Museum called 'Suburban Noir'.

This exhibition breaks with the tradition of presenting Sydney as a visual splendour, finding instead a more reserved city. The police photographs capture the spaces left behind: a moody catalogue of vacant lots, empty roads, desolate interiors and everyday fragments of life in these hard-bitten slices of Sydney. Look at these images long enough and everything starts to look like a crime scene. 

Guest curator Peter Doyle invited a group of visual artists to loan existing works or create new works in response to the forensic photographs. They have responded with diverse visual sensitivities and understanding, finding drama and tragedy but also surprising stateliness and dramatic beauty. The artists are Vanessa Berry, Dallas Bray, Rhett Brewer, Charles Cooper, Theresa Darmody, Di Holdsworth, Bruce Latimer, Michael Lewy, Frank Littler, Reg Mombassa, Peter O’Doherty, Ken Searle, Susannah Thorne and Anne Wallace.

More info about the exhibition can be found here:
