ART NEWS
UK/Australia Season A diverse group of creative collaborators from the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia are taking part in a dynamic cultural exchange where new ideas, hopes and dreams for the future are being channelled out to audiences across a program of panel discussions, workshops, exhibitions, theatre, film, dance, design, architecture, music and literature showcasing extraordinary and innovative responses to the question ‘Who Are We Now?’ Motivated by a new partnership between the British Council and the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs, the 2021/22 ‘UK/Australia Season’s’ in-person and digital activations are playing out in the UK from now until December 2022, and in Australia until March 2022. Themes of identity and belonging, human rights and representation, social justice, our relationship with technology, COVID-19 recovery and more, will be on the table traversing global community, culture, education and business. To pick just two of the season’s events in October, ‘High Performance Packing Tape’ by the adventurous Australian performance company Branch Nebula questions whether a life without danger is worth living. Safety and wellbeing are deprioritised in liberating ways as an OH&S nightmare unfolds, turning everyday office consumables into the catalyst of one person’s physical ruin; the annunciation of fear and frustration draws on self-preservation and risk management to create new possibilities. ‘PHOTO LIVE’ delivers a series of online conversations between artists and curators in the UK and Australia and centres on representation of black, Indigenous, feminist, queer and other marginalised voices in photography, with artists including Scotty So, Ying Ang, Sonal Kantaria, Monhini Chandra, Atong Atem and Othello De’Souza-Hartley. ukaustraliaseason.com Scotty So, Wearing a mask during the third Bubonic Plague, No. 3, 2020, digital photograph, 6 edition + 2 A/P, 76 × 51cm Courtesy the artist and MARS Gallery, Melbourne

FEATURED EXHIBITIONS
Found and Gathered Rosalie Gascoigne Lorraine Connelly-Northey By Jeremy Eccles
‘I’ve worked too hard for people to think I borrowed it all from Rosalie. Our use of corrugated iron is the only thing we have in common.’ Waradgerie (Wiradjuri) woman Lorraine Connelly-Northey has a 20-year career behind her now. But the fact that both she and the late Rosalie Gascoigne (1917-1999) went out and about collecting stuff left on the land and repurposed it into art means that many have connected them even before the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) brought them together in exhibition – ‘Found and Gathered: Rosalie Gascoigne | Lorraine Connelly-Northey’. So, Connelly-Northey is ‘a bit anxious’ that her Indigenous originality won’t be recognised. One point of difference is their location. The New Zealand-born Gascoigne was more New South Wales, Monaro orientated, with its bleached paddocks stretching to the horizon. Though based in Swan Hill, Victoria, Connelly-Northey identifies with her mother’s Country on the other side of the Murray, and rivers come into much of her work – including a brand new 16-metre-long duck net woven from fencing wire that she has made for this show.

John Bokor
Still Lifes and Interiors By Elizabeth Fortescue
When John Bokor was preparing to take up an artist’s residency on the wild south coast near Bermagui, New South Wales, in May this year, he filled his car with enough art supplies for the two-week stay. As well as boxes of paint, Bokor packed three expansive canvases for working indoors and a bevy of small boards for painting in the dramatic landscape where the icy winter winds were just gathering pace. But the small boards remained untouched throughout Bokor’s stay at Umbi Gumbi Artist-InResidence, located in the spotted gum forest bordering Cuttagee Beach. In the end, he didn’t do ‘a scrap’ of plein air painting. ‘I envisaged that I would, but I just wanted to walk and think,’ Bokor said.

IN THE STUDIO
Amy Dynan in her studio, September 2021 Photograph: Art Almanac Courtesy the artist
Drawing is present in every stage of my studio development; now more than ever, I acknowledge it more fully to be intrinsic to my mode of expression. My studio research investigates the merging of mind|body in art practice as an experiential state of being. For me, this means aligning the pace of mind with body and experimenting with alternate methodologies that might make this a more fluid process. I am drawn to timeconsuming, laborious processes, through which the rapid pace of mind is coerced into meeting the slower pace of the body. Correlations between eastern and western ontological philosophy inform my understanding of drawing in relation to the experience of being – namely that there is no separation between inner and outer self-experience, or any such division in art practice. Drawing in this sense is a unifying method capable of embodying this unifying aspect. Access to the studio during lockdown has been an absolute joy and has offered respite during 38
Veronica Cay conversations with my aunt Anthea Polson Gallery 16 to 30 October, 2021 Queensland
Buderim-based artist Veronica Cay presents an exhibition of mixed media drawings, works on canvas and ceramic figures in ‘conversations with my aunt’. This series of new works are embodied with imaginary conversations the artist wishes she could have had with an audacious aunt who, in 1936, left her conservative family home in Toowoomba, Queensland, bound for Sydney’s National Art School, never to return. Cay reminisces on her aunt’s life with a pictorial storyboard rendered in dazzling colour and luminous light.
