Archibald Prize 2023 entry:

Barrambiyarra (Awaken)

by Luke Cornish

aerosol paint and acrylic on canvas

76.3 x 50.5 cm

Luke Cornish’s subject is Yvonne Weldon, a Wiradjuri woman and the City of Sydney’s first Aboriginal councillor. She is also an author, mother and ninna (grandmother).

‘For more than 30 years, Yvonne has worked in government and Aboriginal organisations, driving positive reform in social justice, child protection, education and housing. In 2022, she was recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia for her contribution to the community,’ says three-time Archibald finalist Cornish (also known as street artist E.L.K.).

‘I chose to paint Yvonne out of sheer respect. This portrait is inspired by the 2023 Sydney Festival’s Vigil: Awaken at which Yvonne welcomed everyone to Country. Held on the shoreline of Barangaroo Reserve, the vigil heralded the return of Me-Mel (formerly Goat Island) to its original custodians.

‘The painting encapsulates the spirit of First Nations peoples, motherhood and Mother Earth. The coolamon, traditionally used to carry water, fruit and nuts, and also cradle babies, is a vessel for burning leaves. Smoke is used ceremonially to cleanse and heal people, the land and waters. This ancient custom is shared today as a gesture of goodwill, bringing people together to promote healing.’

For the first time ever, there were more works by women (30) than men (27) in the Archibald finalists for 2023..

Across the three competitions – Archibald, Wynne and Sulman – the number of entries (101) and finalist works (38) by Aboriginal artists hits a new high.

It didn’t take me long to make my way back to Sydney Harbour.

On the upper edge are the reflected lights of North Sydney, while the sandstones slabs on the southern foreshore were hewn from the ground of what is now Barangaroo Reserve.

Sydney - Teil 2

Wir wohnen in Millers Point und sind direkt erstmal grün gestartet. Eine Runde durchs Barangaroo Reserve und dabei wurden Buchten, Boote und Fähren bestaunt. Dann ging es weiter am Wasser entlang, Pier für Pier (das ist die Region wo Dance Academy gedreht wurde!) bis wir unter der Harbour Bridge standen. Was ein riesiges Gebilde, beeindruckend! Und von da sah man direkt das nächste Highlight, das Opernhaus. Alles war wunderbar von der Abendsonne bestrahlt und wir konnten alle sehr schnell verstehen, warum es Lea hier so besonders gut gefällt. Zum Abschluss noch flott weiter in die Gegend die sich "the Rocks" schimpft. Hier reiht sich Nobelrestaurant and Nobelrestaurant mit Blick aufs Wasser. Im Hintergrund glitzern die gläsernen Wolkenkratzer. Dazwischen immer wieder Bäume, die voll lila Blüten sind oder strahlend grün leuchten. Was ein toller Start in unsere Tage in Sydney!

Days 14-16 of Australia vacation: back in Sydney

On Day 14, we got up early to fly back to Sydney.

There were some nice views out the window of the plane, and we arrived early enough to go to the beach in the afternoon. On our way to the beach, though, we had to make a stop. Brother-in-law had found a Sydney funnelweb spider (which is the world's most venomous kind) in their outdoor shower, so he had captured it in a container to drop off so that the venom could be harvested for use in making the antidote. Eeek!

While we were looking for parking near the beach, I saw what the in-laws called an Australian bush turkey, though eBird calls it an Australian Brushturkey. The beach was pleasant; the others snorkeled and I just enjoyed being in the water for a bit and then did some tidepooling. I think I saw a sea slug! And there were medium-sized lizards called water dragons on some rocks on our way back to the car. It was nice to see some wildlife even in the city!

Unfortunately, right at bedtime I found some "wildlife" in the bedroom: a spider was perched on a corner of a cushion on the bed, and everyone else was already asleep. It was not a venomous spider, but I couldn't sleep with it on the bed, and I didn't want to wake anyone up. It took me a while to gather up all my courage to pick up the cushion from the other end and take it outside. But I did it!

Day 15 was our last day in Australia. We had a bit of a slow start. Sister-in-law had returned to work, and Brother-in-law had a work event in the morning but was joining us for lunch. We took the train (I saw what I think was a female Australasian figbird in a tree near the station) into town and took a little walk along the water in Barangaroo. Then we walked over to the Queen Victoria Building, where we had reserved a table for High Tea service at lunchtime with Brother-in-law; Sister-in-law joined us for a few minutes to say hello on a break from work. The Tea Room is a huge hall with fancy chandeliers, and it feels both silly and luxuriously indulgent to have a meal there. We ate an exquisite array of little sandwiches, pastries, and scones on ornate china, accompanied by tea (decaf Ceylon for me) and sparkling wine.

Afterwards, Wife and I visited the Powerhouse Museum, which had an eclectic mix of exhibitions on various industries, including a section on Indian textiles, a collection of clothing designed by Australian designer Carla Zambatti, and the first train engine to operate in Australia along with 3 restored passenger cars (1st class, 2nd class, and 3rd class).

Then we took the modern commuter rail back, and spent a little while hanging out in a small playground waiting for one of the in-laws to get home since we didn't have a key to the house. While there, I spotted a gray butcherbird, which is a species I hadn't seen yet.

We had a relaxed evening at home. Brother-in-law cooked a scrumptious dinner of risotto, chicken, and broccoli, and we looked at some photos from the trip.

On Day 16, we said goodbye to Sister-in-law before she left for work. We then spent the morning packing; we had to borrow an extra piece of luggage to fit everything. When we were getting ready to leave, I noticed a large bird up in a tree. I unpacked the binoculars to look at it and discovered that it was my first Pied Currawong!

Brother-in-law dropped us off at the airport. He had made arancini (fried risotto balls) from the leftovers from the previous night and put some in a box to bring along, so I had a nice snack on the plane. The flight home was 13 hours long; I dozed for much of it, and it was a good thing I had the arancini because the flight was too turbulent for the flight attendants to serve breakfast before landing! We arrived a few hours before our departure time due to crossing the International Date Line.

All in all, we had a great trip--it really felt like a vacation. I was intrigued to notice how very not interested in the urban sightseeing I felt, but most of the time we weren't in cities, and the scenery, wildlife, and birds were great. Somehow I managed to see at least one new species of bird on each day of the trip!

I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to go back to Tasmania, but if I do, I must find a way to visit Bruny Island for a full-on birdwatching tour.

Sydney Vivid trip! A quick trip, whole thing took about... 30 hours, including travel time, but otherwise extremely fun. Thursday night was dinner at an Indian restaurant (beautiful, delicious food, but even the 'mild' was Extremely Burny), the Light Walk, and the most incredible gelato I've ever tasted, Friday had the Australian Museum and checking out the new minerals, delicious salad bowl from Fishbowl, and more gelato :D

If you're in Sydney (or Italy), go to Rivareno Gelato holy shit. The vegan hazelnut they had on special this week will only be around, I think, another couple of days, and is worth the trip tbh. I had it with the chocolate sorbet on Thursday night, and coconut sorbet on Friday.

More details, images, and thoughts on the Vivid displays under the cut:

For the Light Walk, we started at the Circular Quay end and went as far as Barangaroo. Didn't do the paid stuff, although I would have liked to see the gardens as well; unfortunately it just was going to be a little too much walking (as it is, I did about 6km). Here's what we saw, in order:

Between You and Me: This was actually a projection on the pylons of the bridge, but we watched from the other side of the harbour for the best view. Gorgeous animations of birds. There's an app you can use to access the audio for it, curated by Dr Ann Jones, one of my favourite nerds.

Sonder: Light tubes at the far end of the station structure. Pretty, but lots of people around it.

Inside Out: On the facade of Customs House. Banging soundtrack, gorgeous light. What a cool way to literally bring Florence Broadhurst's patterns to life!

The Hive: Definitely face the proper side for this, haha. Lovely lights, cool meaning.

Losting: Very cool to look at, but a bitch to photograph - too many mirrors! Was like a little pocket into a hidden world.

Supernova: Lowkey and fairly still, but the holes in the metal gave this really neat effect of flickering when you walk around it.

Barerarerungar: On the facade of the MCA, this was one of my favourites. Gorgeous light presentation and another really cool soundtrack, we stayed on this one for a bit.

Life Enlivined: This is the John Olsen stuff projected on the Opera House. Absolutely beautiful, although the sound app wasn't working for it, alas. Best view is from across the harbour right near Barerarerungar, if you're any closer to the actual Opera House you won't see it right. Goes between more abstracty, directly art-inspired displays, and cute animations.

Waterfall: Very lowkey. Neat, but not much to it.

Biotechture: Some lovely light, great kind of impression of the building being peeled back.

Superorganism: Lit-up tree! Simple, but extremely pretty.

Dandelion: This neat dome of these kind of starburst things. You could actually go inside this one, although we didn't because it was very crowded.

Monad: Absolutely gorgeous projection of circles, lines, orbits, stuff like that, projected on a screen of water. Mum was absolutely transfixed by this one in particular, haha.

Bump and Sway: Another fairly lowkey one, walk by and acknowledge it as you go, I guess. Light poles in water.

Ghosts: Fairly subdued, just some lit-up paper cranes.

Spirograph: Light fountain! Very pretty but surprisingly tiny?

Night Walkers: Frogs :D There are actually a few of these scattered around, not just in Barangaroo Reserve. They were super cute.

Night Whisper: Smaller installation, but just very aestheically appealling. Lightbulb surrounded by moths, about how we're all drawn to light.

Dune: Shifting triangle-square-y shapes, kind of hypnotic tbh o.o

The Last Ocean: One you can walk on! It's made of reclaimed ocean plastic. Was neat seeing the lights shifting under your feet.

Vivid House, feat. Infinity, Ama, Australian Oceans, and Invincible Corals: A mixed collection of nature-oriented stuff projected on four walls around you. My favourite was Invincible Corals, which showed these gorgeous growing corals, showed a depressing bleaching event, then regeneration with the spawning. Infinity was… pretty, but, um, not the best-animated, tragically!

What Lies Beneath: Very lowkey, it was just some stuff projected on rocks on the waterline and kind of… hard to make out, unfortunately.

The Tunnel: Brightly-lit neon tunnel in different colours and patterns, including rainbow. Had this fun part where you could actually control the patterns.

Lilies and Fish Are Jumping: Last two, kind of entwined. Lilies were these big floating flowery things, and Fish Are Jumping was this fun little thing surrounding them, which had these little darts of light shooting across arcs of wire, which looked a lot like jumping fish in the dark.

My favourites: Between You And Me, Inside Out, Barerarerungar, Live Enlivened, Monad.

Images! Very important lights:

I know it's blurry, but here's the bridge, part of Between You and Me, and the cool lights playing over the sky.

Inside Out:

Barerarerungar:

Life Enlivened:

Superorganism:

Closer shot of Between You and Me, and one of the Night Walkers frogs:

Dune:

The next day, at the Australian Museum. One of my favourite skellies, all ready for the Skeleton War:

Nice:

And finally, the hazelnut gelato of the gods, and a very very nice coconut sorbet:

Good trip!

STEP 4: Concept Key Criteria 2- Originality

Ensuring project originality is vital in ensuring that my site activation will have enduring significance and will not be a one-off experience. I researched other similar projects, both for sources of inspiration and to double check originality. This was also important so that I could see what has worked in the past, and what hasn’t. I wanted to ensure that I didn’t do a copy of an activation that already existed. Creative placemaking was a key consideration for my concept, strategically shaping the physical and social character of The Workshops precinct around arts and cultural activities to inspire and bring diverse audiences together.

When researching I focused on 3 main topics: immersive technology, upcycled shipping container activations and historical experiences.

Image 1 & 2 from: Kojdanovski (2022). 'Shaped by the Sea'

One of my key sources of inspiration was the ‘Shaped by the Sea’ exhibit in the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney and additional digital experience ‘Deep Time’. This exhibit featured a combination of immersive digital experiences and physical Aboriginal artifacts to highlight the historical and cultural connection First Nations communities have to the sea and earth. I drew heavy inspiration from this as it was a great example of an immersive historical experience executed in an engaging way.

Images 3 & 4 from: ESEM (2015). 'Arrivals & Departures'.

Another previous creative project that I drew inspiration from was the temporary public art exhibition ‘Arrivals & Departures’ at Barangaroo Reserve, Sydney. This was a great example of placemaking, as they highlighted the social and maritime history of the site through having audio storytelling and digital projections inside repurposed shipping containers. It was inspiring to see what could be done inside a shipping container specifically to highlight history.

Image 5 from: Lumenarius (2023). Image 6 & 7 from: Loki (2023). Image 8 from: Quorn Silo Light Show. (n.d.)

When researching the technology I could use to execute my concept vision effectively, I found that there were multiple technologies that could achieve this goal, but mainly these were LCD video wall displays and projection mapping. Some examples of these I found included a 360-degree projection mapping room, and an interactive digital artwork inside a shipping container with projection mapping technology. Additionally, the Quorn Silo Light Show in Australia is a unique community art exhibition projected onto an old silo combined with site-specific stories. Researching these helped me explore the limitations of the technology I wanted to use.

Images from: Site tour, my photography.

My inspiration for the native garden area outside the shipping containers, and the repurposed timbers to use as structures for shadecloths came directly from The Workshops precinct itself. Linking these visual aspects together throughout the precinct with generate a better senses of cohesion and interconnectedness within the site.

Although my concept has drawn inspiration from these past creative activations in other locations my concept is original and responds to and enhances Northshore’s distinctive features through:

Highlighting the unique Aboriginal and Maritime history of the site.

Taking into consideration the current environment of the precinct and factors such as noise, wind and the heat within the site.

Offering both a technological and creative immersive experience.

Repeating key visual design elements such as repurposed timbers, native plants etc. within my concept to enhance connectedness.

My personal creative contribution to the project will be seen through the video and technological aspects of the concept. As I am a film major, I have specific background experience in project management and production management. I therefore will be a vital part of this creative concept, as I will be able to offer a unique insight into generating engaging content creation and will be able to create video content personally.

(3. Choose one concept. Demonstrate the originality and site-specificity of your concept and how it addresses a key challenge

Immersive cycling library cafe.

The container provides cycling equipment and uses VR and AR or projection to immerse visitors in the history of the North Shore and its indigenous heritage and artefacts. On the ground floor, in an open area, is the cafe. The container above, closest to the river, will be transformed into a hollowed-out library. The café is a static presentation that is different from a ride, a calm experience of the whole North Shore natural environment and a cultural and historical experience. The project has similarities to the barangaroo reserveh and the Tokyo National Museum's 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter / Four Seasons Nogizaka 46', which combines Japanese art and contemporary pop icons.
