21.01.2022 LAST DAYS | THE COLOUR OF SAYING finishes this Sunday, October 16. Even the humblest material artifact is an emissary of the culture out of which it comes. - T.S.Eliot... The Colour of Saying reveals a reflection on travel, migration and exchange by Adelaide-based artist Madeline Reece. For Reece, the picture postcard becomes a symbol of border crossing. A popular tool for communication since the late nineteenth century, postcards are known for their positive portrayal of location and culture. In this gathering of archival and painted cards, Reece calls us to consider the disconnect between the representation of idyllic scenarios and the realities of global unrest. Her method is that of subtle reinvention: by painting her own postcard fronts, Reece returns a certain truth along with moments of discomfort and unease to land and cityscapes from across the world.

05.01.2022 "Julia’s sculpture and installation-based mid-career practice is well known for its steadfast interest in diverse mortal and cultural responses to the mystification of death and the afterlife, and our often fraught relationship with religion from sanctified ceremony to taboos. We’ve become familiar with her exquisite grotesque creatures, lovingly, obsessively crafted; signature beasts (of our own burdens), used to mirror and explore human behaviour and psychology and which ...make us laugh and wince at once. No matter how familiar I think I might be with her practice, I always find surprising twists in each body of new work but I’m never surprised at her conceptual ingenuity..." An except of the opening night speech by Fulvia Mantelli (AEAF). 'Structure for navigating an unknown afterlife' is on now in the Art Pod, 25 Pirie Street, Adelaide.

03.01.2022 Taking her cue from religion, folklore and myth, Julia Robinson explores the unrelenting human fascination with our own mortality. In this ambitiously scaled work, the Adelaide-based artist proposes a possible funerary housing or monument that carries with it multiple narratives surrounding death, the afterlife and re-birth. Looming behind the glass wall of the gallery, 'Structure for navigating an unknown afterlife' sits within a history of bodily casings that have long been... a part of death rites. Robinson speculates on the role of mausoleums in offering hope amongst uncertainty, not only providing a resting place for the dead, but also conveying the soul towards the great beyond. Robinson is known for her narrative-based works of art that engage with personal and social responses to deeply human concerns; life, death and fear. Heralded as one of Australia’s most engaging sculptors, she draws on a wide range of influences to create a vernacular that is truly her own. Since graduating from Adelaide Central School of Art in 2002, Robinson has shown widely including solo shows at Adelaide’s Greenaway Art Gallery in 2016 and the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia in 2015. Her work is held in the collections of Artbank and the Art Gallery of South Australia and in 2016, she was the recipient of SALA’s Contemporary Art Prize. 20 OCTOBER - 19 JANUARY 2017. Curated by Joanna Kitto as part of the Adelaide City Council's Emerging Curator Program.
