She will post it on to the next artist, then the next, and eventually I will end up with it again, before posting it on and so forth.

There has been much interest in the idea of posting or personally delivering a hard copy journal from artist to artist. Each page of the journal will contain a contribution of a drawing or several drawings from each artist. This project is to begin in September and continue through to October. I will send an email with the full details to all those who have expressed interest, so if you would still like to be involved and haven't let us know yet, please reply to this post or send us an email.<br /><br />More soon...<div class="blogger-post-footer">Contemporary Central Coast Artists' Group</div>Sharynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05460738987523890250noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35725263.post-45168698935647776982007-08-06T17:18:00.000+10:002007-11-24T09:53:59.696+11:00I Recall<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCVcfK_EfmB6fy4ORAPzCi8UNL5VrTIt08qfg5lKoeGc1cY8fIjNRK4YhfblCx4h69hNYDAqWSkyEoPKVIJRz9FRsa-tVznuiBmKxdZobrtHAb2coqS3aVk1_x3jjNKVl5fAJVFw/s1600-h/Irecall+invite+back+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095485068425397954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCVcfK_EfmB6fy4ORAPzCi8UNL5VrTIt08qfg5lKoeGc1cY8fIjNRK4YhfblCx4h69hNYDAqWSkyEoPKVIJRz9FRsa-tVznuiBmKxdZobrtHAb2coqS3aVk1_x3jjNKVl5fAJVFw/s320/Irecall+invite+back+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizovI9-876ZH0E-EbJWy-oXUASgsFEjFKv4cVj55dZFWs6tErrE0izJVf9AwsOi3O2sBhQkUVD6B0sTTrl5Vb7MLfpZ2Rlw7cIqxLfJwYzr1oaH-McFjgs3CAiCfr8BEZaslFGxA/s1600-h/Irecall+invite.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095485068425397970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizovI9-876ZH0E-EbJWy-oXUASgsFEjFKv4cVj55dZFWs6tErrE0izJVf9AwsOi3O2sBhQkUVD6B0sTTrl5Vb7MLfpZ2Rlw7cIqxLfJwYzr1oaH-McFjgs3CAiCfr8BEZaslFGxA/s320/Irecall+invite.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em><em>Now that he had started her remembering, recollections<br />– like flotsam on a river in sudden spate – came dancing,<br />gliding, bobbing and bumping across her reluctant mind.</em></em><br /><br />Fanny by Gaslight, Michael Sadleir 1940<br /><br /><br />Sharyn has been questioning memory and recollection<br />for several years, since a statement from a family<br />member led to emotional and physical estrangement.<br /><br />“Remembering seems to be a process of selection<br />and using that selection to move forward, positively<br />or negatively.

Let me preface my response by saying that we are very proud of the Gosford Regional Gallery and the high standard of exhibitions, level of professional development opportunities and artist support and community linkages that have been achieved in the relatively short period it has been open. These achievements have only been possible through the expertise and efforts of the staff, whom we also support completely.</div><div align="left">.</div><div align="left">Undoubtedly, the 'Changeling' exhibition received an unprecedented amount of negative and positive feedback that was recorded in the visitor book at the Gallery, through letters to Gosford City Council staff and Councillors and through direct representations to Councillors, including me -through the entire exhibition period. It was only after an article in the local paper that made claims of child pornography that the exhibition was closed ahead of schedule. This was not Council censorship of the artists' work, but rather an attempt by Gosford City Council to ensure the works would not be trivialised as a consequence of the articles that appeared in the papers and the public comments which referred to the works being child pornography.</div><div align="left">.</div><div align="left">Contemporary art practice currently does have a place in Gosford. Contemporary art continues to be a key component in the Gosford Regional Gallery exhibition program - through exhibitions such as 'Dawn Light', "Night Walks' and 'Emerging'.</div><div

Reviews New Media ConceptsLast night (29 March) I attended the opening of an exhibition by five<br />fourth year students from Leeds Universities Fine Art<br />Degree. It was a show that they had organized<br />themselves and was held in The Merrion Centre. The<br />Merrion Centre is a shopping centre not far from the Uni,<br />however, not unlike Gosford, there are quite a few shops<br />that are closed.<br /><br />The exhibition – in one of these shops was an exploration<br />of conceptual art through new media, so many works<br />included the use of film and sound. I found the works to<br />be extremely interesting, and three in particular<br />innovative and exciting.<br /><br />The first work that caught my attention was by Eva.<br />She had set up a television monitor at the back of the<br />shop, this was connected to a small camera at the front<br />of the shop that went unnoticed by passerby’s. The<br />camera, pointed to the ground and recorded the<br />shadows of light, people passing, moments that are<br />still and moments that change.<br /><br />I talked to her after the show about her work, it<br />was a work that revealed her fascination with time<br />and place and these two ideas intertwined to create<br />ephemeral moments where the viewer, unwittingly<br />is part of the artwork, yet does not realize this until<br />the moment has passed.<br /><br />The second work that fascinated me was by Rosa.<br />She had set up three booths at the back of the shop.<br />Each booth contained a disc player for the audience<br />to listen too. Each disc contained a conversation of<br />sorts between the artist’s sister and their<br />Grandfather. All three conversations consisted of<br />a German word (their Grandfather is German),<br />reflected back between the two, each time the word<br />becoming more meaningless as the rendition<br />becomes more ridiculous. This work looked at the<br />linguistical meanings of the three words and how<br />that falters under the misrepresentation, or<br />mispronunciation of the word.<br /><br />The third work, that actually links into my current<br />research to do with the body, is by Hammam. His<br />work, through the use of sound, maps his body,<br />recording its experience in a certain condition.<br />Lined on the wall were approximately 60 tapes.<br />Each tape contained a recording of the sound of a<br />microphone tapping on the different parts of his<br />body. You could select a tape and listen to it on<br />the walkman provided. I listened to his left jaw.<br />This work was interesting to me because of its<br />reference to phenomenology, or the<br />representation of an experience felt by his body<br />(and thus consciousness).<br /><br />This exhibition showed a quality of work,<br />conceptually and practically that reveals the<br />potential of these students to show at an<br />international level. It has shown me the<br />advantages of living in the UK ( or Europe), and<br />having easier access to world renowned artists<br />that push the conceptual boundary, and how this<br />can inspire art students here to do the same.<br /><br />I am not criticizing the remoteness of Australia<br />at all – that can have its own advantages,<br />however, I am glad to have had this opportunity<br />to see the standard of student work here in the<br />UK, by some truly talented artists.<br /><br />Liz Wright.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Contemporary Central Coast Artists' Group</div>Sharynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05460738987523890250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35725263.post-3716608390937502752007-03-30T17:21:00.000+10:002007-04-03T19:33:44.767+10:00Karen's Shorethyme Exhibition<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVsNxOkJNeZEJuMuJQLpiuesVWIvMsmdTT2D7J2eOcGuJocwuiBLeVMjT5vTcoSU43vxKDdU8VvZLRfRRfUCeUdi7w6PA4WN6x6-X6ktWG6Q1TetYQugx6OQ7iMCHwe4We3XOemg/s1600-h/karens+work.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047614769917248946" style="DISPLAY: block;

Firstly though,</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">I will update you one how my studies have been going. </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">.<br />Last week, practical wise, I had a refresher in the technical</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">side of photography. Claire, the photography lecturer,</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">spent the afternoon with me showing me how to set up</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">professional lighting, to do a meter, how to do effects with</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">brollies, etc. It was a very interesting afternoon, and</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">allowed me to think more about the technical aspects</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">of how to achieve my practical goals. At the moment,</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">with reference to my theory, I feel that using photography</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">as a documenting process for my ideas is the</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">way to pursue my prac ideas.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">.<br />In regards to theory, I had another meeting with</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Griselda, and discussion was raised in consideration to</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">the fine line drawn between identity and subjectivity. In the</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Collins Online Dictionary, identity means – ‘the state of</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">having unique identifying characteristics held by no</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">other person or thing’, or ‘the individual characteristics</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">by which a person or thing is recognized’, whilst subject</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">(in reference to a person) means – ‘that which thinks</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">or feels as opposed to the object of thinking and feeling;</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">the self or the mind’, or ‘a substance as opposed to</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">it’s attributes’. Within my own research I view identity</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">as that with which I am labeled socially, such as woman,</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">white, disabled, short, etc; the subject, however, I</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">consider as being my self, my inside, the experience of </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">my embodiment.

I have gone into holiday mode</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">this past week and that included a weekend away</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">to Dublin, Ireland. I got to see the St. Patrick’s</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Day Parade in Dublin, which was so much fun,</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">and of course, drink way to much Guinness. I</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">would recommend everyone go to Dublin – it is my</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">new favorite city. Whilst there I was also privileged</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">to see The Book of Kells, which is housed in Trinity</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">College, it was fascinating to see; the detail in</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">the illustrations and the neatness of the writing and</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">the age of the book gave me goose bumps.

I’ve been extremely lucky to be allocated Griselda Pollock as my supervisor whilst here and she has been extremely encouraging in the direction that I take my research in not only my dissertation, but also my practical work.<br />Here is her research biography from the Leeds University website –<br />Griselda Pollock's main research interests are in the issues of gender, race and class in the formations of modernism in late nineteenth century Europe and America;the history of women in the visual arts with a current project focusing on femininity, representation and modernity 1928-1968; the work of Vincent van Gogh; women's cinema 1940-9; the legend of Tarzan: myths of empire, identity and place, contemporary visual arts by women. Major research supervision is offered in cultural studies, art history, film studies and feminist studies in the visual arts. Her new research areas include issues of trauma, history and memory after the Holocaust and Jewish Art and Modernity.<br />My research is dealing with the representation of women with disabilities in the Visual Arts, and with Griselda’s prominent knowledge in feminist studies ( I am currently reading three books written by her ), her supervision has been priceless. How, you may ask? Well, when I first arrived here in Leeds, I admit I felt a little lost in direction, yet after my talk to her, she encouraged a lateral look at my research. This means the investigating of other minority/oppressed groups in society, and exploring how artists in these groups represent the embodiment of their experience/situation within a bodily/self context. For my own research, this has proved quite interesting, as the disabled body is considered all body and therefore viewed as asexual, uninteresting and repugnant. This is far from reality however.<br />I am still heavily reading on topics to do with my research – topics such as: embodiment, definition of self/body, expression of the body, performance work within art practice and body art. I am also currently looking at artists such as Hannah Wilke, Jo Spence, Alison Lapper and Mary Duffy. These are artists that deal with the female experience through the context of the body, and I am particularly interested in the last two as they are artists who deal with their disabled experience through their art practice.<br />Hopefully in a few weeks I can write a more comprehensive profile of my research, as I am only now beginning to gather my ideas and make sense of the thoughts that are directing me towards performance and body art. So yes, when I return to Australia, prepare for a work of performance! </div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">Elizabeth Wright<br /></div><div align="center"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Contemporary Central Coast Artists' Group</div>Sharynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05460738987523890250noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35725263.post-41433450648324854312007-03-05T23:14:00.000+11:002007-04-03T19:30:24.681+10:00Memory ?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPxmSkUHvnntCdLfpEXSNhE4LLWH5tHQlr0793TbRQcqEtern9Gu4zHFDQ6lsf-XVVwpbSN7ku0HmWXt2bYqa13z7tuuDSV3kCZpzNjRHM_52B_nOPiaXZJRllixAhvrWlvZYnYA/s1600-h/william2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038422115616250146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPxmSkUHvnntCdLfpEXSNhE4LLWH5tHQlr0793TbRQcqEtern9Gu4zHFDQ6lsf-XVVwpbSN7ku0HmWXt2bYqa13z7tuuDSV3kCZpzNjRHM_52B_nOPiaXZJRllixAhvrWlvZYnYA/s320/william2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div align="center">William Merrylees Re - Views <em>memory.</em></div><br /><div align="center"><em></em></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Newview Gallery</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">March 27 to April 8</span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Contemporary Central Coast Artists' Group</div>Sharynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05460738987523890250noreply@blogger.com2
