Atlas: Andrew Hurle

May 2012 by Jonathan Nichols

Andrew Hurle’s work in Post-planning is about human imagination and its roots in pathology. There are six artworks: four small constructions (models), some more unfinished looking than others, and two prints about A3 size and pinned. The works are installed as a group on a stage or rostrum built of black stained timber sheets—a display […]

Moya McKenna: Ideas once thought and then forgotten

May 2012 by Quentin Sprague

Untitled (Cosmic bust man) is a recent artwork by American Tom Friedman; a bust of a man with dark apertures in place of eyes, mouth and nostrils. In a neat spatial inversion, the viewer peers in and unexpectedly sees the night sky. It’s not an artwork that begs detailed interpretation—ideas are suggested (about infinity, about […]

Photo finish, or harmony in grey

May 2012 by Eve Sullivan

Grey is the new blue, and Melbourne with its wintry aspect (for this last week at least) is my new Berlin, courtesy of John Nixon’s Black, white & grey. Photographic studies (photosheets), showing at the Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP), and Corinna Belz’s Gerhard Richter—painting at the German film festival. While Richter ruminates on history […]

Damiano Bertoli’s ‘Continuous moment: Anxiety Villa’

May 2012 by Mila Faranov

I know, because the writing on the wall told me, that this installation is somehow the restaging of a play written by Pablo Picasso. I do not feel it is necessary to know the event passed in order to situate myself into the present work but I can’t help wondering. So I do it. I […]

Touching the surface: Angelica Mesiti

May 2012 by Amita Kirpalani

The vivid and the beautiful operate as an amnesty from the abundance of provisionality. But is it a satisfactory reprieve, say in relation to labour-intensive craftwork as another alternative? Specifically, I’m wondering how to find a space for ineffability in Mesiti’s work, beyond its surface—something problematic, a cleft where I can apply my own undirected […]

Extemporaneously

May 2012 by Hannah Mathews

I’m in the middle of developing a new project. The idea has been with me for years. Percolating away, sometimes urgent—spurred on by a new piece of writing, experience or thought, and sometimes hanging back—quiet. I’m now at the stage where I’m starting to implement its structure in order to move along its conceptual development […]

Siri Hayes: The world is our lounge room

May 2012 by Rob McHaffie

Siri Hayes’s recent show of photographs and embroidery, All you knit is love is tricky to write about as I was left quite satisfied feeling the love of family, nature, and life in general. CCP is open on Sundays now so I popped in not knowing what was on. Siri’s exhibition fills the main gallery […]
