22.01.2022 Daniel Crooks is a Melbourne-based contemporary artist whose practice includes photography and installation art. He slices images into frames, representing photographs taken at different times, and his videos often distort time, making it appear slowed or stretched. ‘Portrait #2 (Chris)’ is part of Crooks’ Time Slice project (1999), a series of moving image works and prints made using digital collage techniques. This involves digitally slicing images then reassembling them ‘...sequentially across the screen and across time’ to create spatial effects through which Crooks seeks ‘a deep analysis of time and motion’. The viewer is invited to look at Crooks’ subject from different perspectives, which gives a sense of movement to the final composition. Now you can create your own Daniel Crooks-inspired photo collage at home.

20.01.2022 ‘Indoor Monument: Hard Dis-play’ is a sculptural realisation of a hard-edge, abstract painting by Frank Stella from 1959, one of a series of works collectively known as ‘Black Paintings’. Stella’s painted black lines on raw canvas are transformed by Kathy Temin into a knee-high maze, changing our perception of the composition. Temin’s reason for making this sculpture was to draw attention to the disconnection between the seemingly pure abstraction of Stella’s painting and the... metaphoric content implied by its German title ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ (Work Makes You Free), the slogan infamously inscribed over the entrance to Auschwitz. Stella explicitly rejected the idea of any content in his paintings aside from the paint on the canvas. ‘My painting is based on the fact that only what can be seen is there What you see is what you get’, he famously said. Temin’s work does not reference the Nazi slogan in any overt way, but her version of Stella’s maze is an attempt to gauge how a translation from two to three dimensions might shift its meaning.

19.01.2022 Sunday Reed loved old-fashioned, rambling roses in preference to modern varieties and grew a selection of wild and species, old and hybrid roses at Heide. She planted these Zephirine Drouhin Roses on the north side of the kitchen garden to ramble along the fence. Take time to smell the roses next time you’re enjoying a stroll through the Heide grounds.

09.01.2022 While Mikala Dwyer’s ‘Costumes’ have been described by the artist as ‘costumes for a pataphysical theatre’pataphysics being ‘the science of imaginary solutions’ as defined by its founder, French dramatist Alfred Jarry (18731907). On occasion they have been worn for performances in the spirit of avant-garde theatre, such as that of the Bauhaus, or by dadaist and surrealist artists. While Dwyer’s costumes draws on minimalist form, her cylinders, pyramids, cones, spheres and o...ther more eccentric and organic shapes are also informed by branches of knowledge other than art, specifically expressionist architecture and the experimental science of crystallography. This interest is carried through in her palette, which she draws from the purples, greens, gold and black of minerals, precious stones and crystals, materials that are subject to scientific but also mystic and superstitious beliefs.

09.01.2022 In 1961 John and Sunday Reed asked David McGlashan to design a two-bedroom, pavilion-style beach house for them at bayside Aspendale. Designed and built in just three months on a small piece of land fronting the sand dunes, it was inspired by the idea of a classic bathing box. McGlashan created two parallel, linked pavilions with a courtyard of sand between, supplying good cross ventilation, a suntrap and a safe area for Sunday’s holidaying Siamese cats!

09.01.2022 Callum Morton’s ‘One to One’ is identical to the fireplace in John and Sunday Reed’s limestone house designed by David McGlashan where they lived from 1968 to 1980. It connects to a series of reworkings of modernist architecture by Morton based on various outmoded or ignored urban structures that serve as monuments to public and private losses and the death of modernist ideals. In this work a soundtrack emanates from the fireplace which is located in the hiko or ‘conversation... pit’ in the middle of the building. This haunting audio has been extracted from an interview with John and Sunday Reed in the last year they lived in the house, a year before their deaths in 1981.

08.01.2022 These works by Eugene Carchesio come from a group of small abstract paintings on canvas boards that the artist made in 2015, which are characterised by sequential colour relationships and concentric geometric motifs. Carchesio’s use of concentric designs, with their inherent qualities of repetition and formal progression, can be traced back to the mid-1980s when he began using geometric patterns in his paintings, watercolours and collages. For him they denote ordered relation...ships, which signify hope ‘not just the usual chaos’ as implied by the title of his ongoing ‘Test Patterns for Hope’, an abstract series begun in 1986 and to which he has frequently returned. While clearly stand-alone compositions, the motifs in ‘Toward Green’ and ‘Untitled’ might also poetically be seen as repeatable units in ever-extending patterned fields.

06.01.2022 In celebration of tomorrow’s book talk ‘Under the Covers of Mirka & Georges: A Culinary Affair’ with authors Lesley Harding and Kendrah Morgan, we thought we’d share one of the many delicious recipes found in the book. Mirka and Georges ate this creamy Fontainebleau together at a Parisian restaurant in rue Caulaincourt during the early days of their marriage. This recipe, provided by the Moras’ friend Claude Verryser, requires preparation a day in advance of eating, but is s...traightforward and well worth the wait. You’ll need: 2 cups plain whole-milk yoghurt 1/2 cup caster sugar 2 cups heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks 3 large egg whites 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest raspberries and blueberries (to serve) Line a large colander with dampened cheesecloth or muslin. Sweeten the yoghurt with the caster sugar and fold it into the whipped cream. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten egg whites into the yoghurt mixture, then add the lemon zest and lightly combine. Transfer the mixture to the lined colander and place over a larger bowl to catch the draining liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours, discarding the liquid halfway through. To serve, turn the fontainebleau out onto a large plate and carefully remove the cheesecloth. Wet a serrated knife and cut the fontainebleau into 8 wedges. Transfer to individual plates and garnish with berries to serve.

05.01.2022 Just four days until we open the museum doors on Saturday 28 November! We can’t wait to share our major exhibition Joy Hester: Remember Me with you. Joy Hester produced some of the most distinctive and intriguing imagery to emerge in Australia during the 1940s and 1950s. Working almost exclusively with brush and ink, she focused on potent expressions of the human figure, using drawing as a vehicle to grasp life in all its complexity.... The exhibition traces the progression of Hester’s artistic interests, from her formative works responding to the oppressive climate of World War II to compelling psychological portraits and later intimate images of faces and lovers made not long before her untimely death in 1960. Hester was unafraid to explore subjects considered highly provocative during her lifetime: love, sex, birth, and deaththemes that are threaded throughout the exhibition. Joy Hester: Remember Me brings together significant works from public and private collections including many drawings that have never before been on public display, offering new insight into the working methods and creative processes that Hester developed from the very start of her career.

01.01.2022 It’s international coffee day! In July 1951 when Mirka and Georges Mora first arrived in Melbourne, they were shocked to discover that the local coffee consisted of boiled milk with coffee essence added to it and the few restaurants around closed at 8 pm! Upon opening Mirka Café at 183 Exhibition Street in 1954, the Moras’ Gaggia espresso machine rivalled that of the popular Italian cafe Pellegrini’s and the University Coffee Lounge as one of the first in the citythough Mir...ka never mastered its use. She even managed to give herself a black eye one day after the handle sprang back and struck her in the face! Learn more about the colourful lives of Mirka and Georges at our online book talk with Lesley Harding and Kendrah Morgan, authors of ‘Mirka & Georges: A Culinary Affair’.
