Biljana's Studio Gateway Notes

[spenceadad2018-blog]

Great to think about Ryan Presley’s work in relation to ‘Value’ – “Reflecting on the state of the economic nation and First Peoples visibility is the recent solo exhibition Prosperity by Dr Ryan Presley at the Institute of Modern Art (IMA) Brisbane. The exhibition, which is Ryan’s post doctoral analysis of his Blood Money series, started in 2010, features the Blood Money series of highly detailed water coloured bank notes with Aboriginal people as the key figures, supersized and framed. Alongside this series is a participatory work where the public can purchase BMD – Blood Money currency – for Australian dollars from a very ‘authentic’ looking currency booth. All sales go to Aboriginal community services in Brisbane and the Northern Territory (NT), speaking to Ryan’s current base and community in Brisbane and his Ancestral ties to the Marri Ngarr family of NT.’

You can read more on Ryan’s work here: http://unprojects.org.au/un-extended/reviews/ryan-presley/

Triple Canopy – International Art English by Alix Rule & David Levine

On the rise—and the space—of the art-world press release.

Here’s an article which unpacks the politics of language in artist concept statements. A great read that reminds us that the way we speak about our work is political. It also serves as an excellent reminder to use plain English and stay away from jargon and buzz words when writing about your work. 

Consider what your artistic intent is an evaluate its outcomes in clear language. 

Also for those interested, for some excellent critique of the above go HERE. 

And, of course these ideas can also become creative work. Check out: http://500letters.org/

http://runway.org.au/ Local journal based around promoting and commissioning experimental art. They produce issues based on particular concepts. In the past they produced printed magazines but are now web based which allows them to publish content in a variety of media. They have also digitised all of their printed editions. It’s now an amazing archive of creative work and ideas.

Papier Machine

An expedition into the invisible aesthetics of electronics. Papier Machine is a booklet gathering a family of 13 paper-made electronic toys ready to be cut, colored, folded, assembled or torn. Silkscreened with special inks that have different electric properties, these toys aim at revealing what hides behind our machines’ magic black boxes : a world of materials, shapes, colors, stories and even smell.
