🍏Shunk Kender: René Magritte and The Likeness (La ressemblance) (1962)

A way to engage playfully with the photographer, or to express the union of a female head on a male body?

Josephine Jakobi takes a mixed media approach to her work, crossing between scientific observation and art. Elements and traces of the landscape appear in her work, creating synchronicity between material and the environment. Jakobi’s artwork is deeply concerned with the cycles and poetry of the natural environment. @josephinejakobi @latroberegionalgallery #regionalart #textileart #contemporarytextileart #fibreart #textiles #stitch (at Latrobe Regional Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0w94Avw7k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Self-made: zines and artists books : Punk, politics and art on show in new exhibition at State Library Victoria

Self-made is a new exhibition showcasing the eclectic world of independent publishing, from exquisite handmade artist books to radical low-fi zines, opening at State Library Victoria on 11 August 2017.

Developed in partnership with Sticky Institute, Self-made will display rarely-seen material from the Library’s collection of artist books and its zine collection – the largest and most comprehensive in Australia.

Exhibition curator Monica Syrette said Self-made will take visitors on a journey through the colourful and sometimes controversial evolution of self-publishing.

“The history of zine-making and self-publishing is inextricably linked to influential counter-cultural movements and social activism. What we’re displaying – items like sci-fi zines from the 1940s, punk zines from the seventies and contemporary feminist zines – are all reflections of the political and cultural movements of the time.”

The exhibition features works by leading international artists including Swiss German artist, Dieter Roth; Pop Art influenced American artist, Ed Ruscha; pioneering conceptual artist Sol LeWitt; and renowned Australian painter, sculptor and printmaker, Robert Jacks; alongside works by contemporary artists and zine-makers.

More than 170 works will be on display, including a dedicated reading lounge, revealing the breadth and beauty of artist books and zines.

Self-made is at the State Library Victoria from 11 August to 12 November 2017, and will then tour to the Mildura Arts Centre, Murray Bridge Regional Gallery, New England Regional Art Museum, Tweed Regional Gallery, Toowoomba Regional Gallery, and Latrobe Regional Gallery through 2018 and 2019.

Assignment 2- 700 word concept statement

Question1

With this assignment I wanted to explore different issues that related to humans, non-humans, the environment and ecology. I created seven collages that addressed different issues related to the question. They explore areas related to the environment, climate change and pollution, non-humans, politics and identity. When I began thinking about this assignment, I wanted to focus on issues related to stereotypes and labels. After breaking down the question I realised there was more to the question and there were many more issues that could be covered. I then decided on creating A5 sized collages to highlight the numerous subjects related to the world in this question. Many artists from both modernist and contemporary periods inspired me. I looked at Minna Gilligan’s collages and was inspired by her playful and colourful style. I was also influenced by surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte and Giorgio de Chirico. I incorporated elements from surrealist paintings into my collages such as placing objects that are not associated with each other together. The collages were created with magazine cut outs as well as prints. I also added a hand-drawn element to the collages to create more interesting compositions.

For the poster with the face becoming a salad bowl, I explored issues related to pollution and destruction of the natural environment. The salad is placed in the brain area showing that is because of humans that our natural environment is being polluted. It also suggests that we ourselves are natural beings that have polluted the Earth around us. The cigarettes coming out of the salad represent the un-natural aspects of the environment that are man-made and dangerous to ecology and the Earth in the long term.

The banana peel with the city coming out of it proposes a similar idea to the salad collage. It suggests that the foundations of our cities are natural and it is only because of this support that we are able to build hundreds of skyscrapers. I also used contrast between the two elements to demonstrate that it is not what we expect to see when we peel a banana and the natural elements should stay.

The ‘humans with animals heads’ collage is based on combining the old with the new. The people sit with their arms folded properly and have been dressed up in formal clothing. The animal heads suggest different identities that people associate with themselves. Also the clouds with faces and the flower as the sun are aspects of childhood and memory. I wanted to this collage to look and feel nostalgic. Even the sky, which has been coloured in with pencil, brings back childhood memories of colouring in when we were young.

The collage with the astronaut dropping a toxic substance into a puddle is based on environmental and ecological issues. As a species, humans have evolved enough to create rockets and land on the moon, however we are polluting the Earth we live on with poisons such as carbon monoxide and other chemicals while at the same time making so much progress in other areas that are not essential to human survival such as exploring space.  My message is that we should look for solutions to problems on Earth rather than in space.

The poster with the octopus tentacles on top of the lady’s head suggests that we are corrupting our natural environment for the good of human consumption and materialism. Using animal skins and fur for fashion is an example of selfish behaviour that satisfies non-essential aspects of our lives. Are animals’ lives worth giving up just for one designer hat/gown?  This also shows another possibility for imagining humans in their environment.

The poster with the owl face holding the umbrella explores ideas about the non-human and politics. As humans we are bombarded with posters and propaganda related to politics. The non-human holding the umbrella is an example of a re-imagined being that has no connections or interests in the human world and society. It suggests that human political issues are futile in comparison to bigger world issues.

The last poster of the woman and the cyborgs show an element of the future and what it might look like. It suggests that robots we create may have personalities and vice versa: that humans we know and interact with are becoming robotic in their personalities. I explores complex issues related to artificial intelligence and the effects it has on the natural being.
