25.01.2022 Recent 50fifty Initiative Acquisition Requiem Songs by Clyde McGill is being included in the 50fifty:2020 exhibition. Check out our 50fifty:2020 Instagram stories to see it installed! Clyde McGill is a multidisciplinary visual artist working in most media including print, drawing, sound, performance, painting and photography whose interests include place, politics and belonging. Speaking about the print, McGill states the print installation is a music score for a se...t of songs to celebrate, mourn, and remember those in my life who have died. This uses drawn notation such as the red lines, gold leaf and etched marks to show the composition rather than conventional music symbols. These can be followed and interpreted by the singers, the chants, the conductor. There are a number of overlapping pieces of sound here as our lives are layered, joined and move away. Donated by the Clyde McGill, (2020). Image: Clyde McGill, Requiem Songs, 2019, etching, monoprint, letterpress (hand stamped), gold leaf on 270gsm Velin Arches paper, 225 x 315cm overall.

19.01.2022 Did You Know? Many Australian colonial natural history collections are represented in German museums and herbaria, and there are recent initiatives to transform these artefacts of colonial heritage and science back into objects from living cultures with living custodians and their own stories to tell. In our upcoming Speaker Series, on Tuesday 20 April at 10am, researcher, author and historian, Professor Anna Haebich, will talk about her journey into the work of German botan...ist, Johann August Ludwig Preiss (1811-1883). Anna's intervention in this evolving story critiques the role of collectors whose vast collections of flora and fauna from the Colony of Western Australia amassed between 1838 and 1842, fast-tracked European scientific study of this biodiverse region. Anna will share her journey of research, here and in Germany, and a snapshot of German/Australian initiatives to decolonise these collections. --------------- Speaker Series: Anna Haebich - The Botanist History Forgot Tuesday 10am to 11am 20 April 2021 John Curtin Gallery, Curtin University, Building 200A, Kent Street, Bentley ---------------- 19 to 23 April 2021.

17.01.2022 Congratulations Susan Roux the 2020 John Stringer Prize winner!!! Some of the judges comments: As a selection of works the impact is fantastic. Dark, moody and creative. Texturally brilliant.... Unique skill set. A challenging and overwhelming work. Original and dramatic. Just wonderous scale and feelings exposed somehow not particularly happy but deeply felt. These works take me further from all angles. Love the textures and the poem of explanation. And congratulations to all the finalists. Another fabulous showcase of superb West Australian Artists!

12.01.2022 JCG used #support4WAartists to highlight a different WA artist each week. This week we feature @yvonnezago who has a show on NOW - closing 3rd Sept at @lintonandkay - Has the pandemic impacted your work? When the pandemic began I was already immersed in the work for my current exhibition so my day to day lifestyle changed very little. However, I became strangely obsessed with the pandemic in the beginning, obsessively checking the news and global data and found it extrem...ely difficult to maintain good focus in the studio. I think I lost about 6 weeks of work to the global shift that was the effort to change our collective behaviour to flatten the curve. It affected everyone both physically and mentally, and I remember feeling really overwhelmed by the strange mood that seemed to permeate life during lockdown. I wonder if the pandemic has affected how people view and perceive this body of work, as it is based on a suite of drawings I did when I had the flu in 2019 and protective mythological beings feature heavily. - What are working on right now? My exhibition Fever Dreams is currently showing at Linton and Kay Gallery in Subiaco and I am now in the process of undertaking a few commissions for private collectors as well as doing preliminary drawings and field work for new paintings. - How can we support you? My current exhibition can be viewed online at: https://www.lintonandkay.com.au/e/yvonne-zago-fever-dreams/ and can be viewed in person at Linton and Kay Gallery in Subiaco until 3rd September.

05.01.2022 For this weeks #collectionwednesday we visit uncanny valley to show you these incredible wax sculptures Daughters of Midas by @TheoCostantino. These works are in our current exhibition, "50fifty:2020" which opens today! We are open until 8pm today! Originally made for the 2016 exhibition - Bedazzle: Photographing Western Australias Gold Towns, curated by Mollie Hewitt and @andrewnichollsartist for @formwa the sculptures of the Daughters of Midas series are fantastic...al responses to the mythologized history of European women in the Goldfields, narratives that tend to uncritically celebrate the role of women in the colonial project. These works extend ideas explored in Costantinos 2014 photographic series Daughters of the Empire, but also link back to their 2010 exhibition Diseased Estate in which imagery of disease and parasitism was used to critique the subjectivity of the colonizer. John Curtin Gallery would also like to extend our congratulations to Theo who has been appointed the new Executive Director of Art on the Move (@artonthe_move). Don't forget, the Gallery has changed its opening hours and is now open Tuesday - Friday 11am - 5pm and is open late Wednesdays until 8pm.

02.01.2022 ABC Radio Perth broadcast LIVE from JCG this morning at our Carrolup Centre for Truth Telling Establishment Ceremony which was part of this week's Always Was Always Will Be #NAIDOCWEEK Curtin University Celebrations ... The Carrolup Artworks are on show at JCG now until the 13th December. Listen to the broadcast: The True Story & the People Behind the Beautiful Noongar Artwork that Captivated the World https://www.abc.net.au//progra/focus/carrolup-art/12868494 Haunting, beautiful landscapes are captured in the Carrolup Collection of artworks made by Aboriginal children. The children had been taken from their families and forced to live in isolation at the Carrolup Native Settlement, near Narrogin, in the 1940s. The boys were trained for farm work and the girls for domestic duties. Life was hard and punctuated by pain - despite some close friendships that formed. But out of that settlement and into the world emerged incredible artwork - hand-drawn West Australian landscapes in chalk and pastels. The artwork would travel around the globe and go missing for more than half a century. The John Curtin Gallery is now custodian of 122 of the works. Jess Strutt meets the last known surviving artist from Carrolup and some key people linked to this story of pain and loss but also of strength and hope. Guests: -Kathleen Toomath - daughter of Alma, the last known remaining artist from Carrolup Native Settlement -Chris Malcolm - Director, John Curtin Gallery -Theo Van Gelder - grandson of Noel White, the teacher who encouraged -Aunty Edith de Giambattista - spent time at Carrolup with many of the child artists in the 1940s Image: Alma Toomath, the last living Carrolup artist in the Herbert Mayer Collection, and her daughter Kathleen Toomath

02.01.2022 John Curtin Gallery is pleased to announce our exhibition for the Perth Festival 2021 is "Everything Is True" by Abdul-Rahman Abdullah. This exhibition will be the largest ever assembly of sculptural work by Perth-based artist Abdul-Rahman Abdullah. The exhibition will present audiences with a blend of exquisite technical virtuosity, material intrigue and a palpable presence that can be both playful and terrifying. Set to fill the entire John Curtin Gallery, Everything Is True will be an emotionally charged journey through the memories, dreamscapes and spiritual imagination of one of Australia’s most compelling contemporary artists.

02.01.2022 JCG recognises that now more than ever we need to support our local creatives & through #support4WAartists we will highlight a different WA practitioner each week! This week we feature @dangladdenart - Has the pandemic impacted your work? My exhibition "draw me after you, let us run" at STALA Contemporary opened and then had to close a few days later due to the shut downs. I was still lucky to have an opening night and make some sales but it was still a huge shock. I spen...t the lock down working from home in my day job and tried to keep drawing and experimented with gouache.. I became obsessed with Lisa Yuskavage though during that time which I'm eternally thankful for. Another positive was finding an online course through the National Art School I could do over zoom which I've just completed. - What are working on right now? Trying to build up my drawing skills more but also pushing and developing my understanding of colour and trying to resolve less. I'm working on a diptych for the Bunbury Biennale and hopefully get an exhibition for 2021 confirmed. - How can we support you? @dangladdenart dangladdenart.com Sales are always welcome and I would love to be considered for group exhibitions.

02.01.2022 Miriam Stannage (1939-2016) was born in Northam, Western Australia and throughout her almost 50-year career, produced a varied and eclectic body of work, encompassing collage, photography, printmaking, and text-based works. She first rose to prominence through the 1982 Sydney Biennale and the 1992 Adelaide Biennale, and through her solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Her extensive body of work was an exploration of existential themes such as mortality, the spiritual and a quest for the meaning of life. Join us for this discussion about her work and enduring legacy.
