INSTUDIO with Laura Jones

1) Who is Laura Jones?

30 year old painter and printmaker from Sydney.

2) Explain your current body of work?

Currently I am working on a series of still life paintings. I bring flowers from my work at a flower shop to the studio and paint them over the course of 2 or 3 days. The paintings encapsulate their decay because I respond to them as I see them over that period of time. The flowers are always changing and so interesting shifts occur over the course of the painting, creating slightly abstracted forms that overall have the feeling of being a “flower.” I love the symbolism they hold and the metaphorical power that they have.

3) If you can pick one artist as an inspiration, who would it be and why?

Can I pick three?
Lara Merrett for her fluidity. I share a studio with her and her paintings are quite autobiographical in a way. I think she is a wonderful and clever colourist. Her work is reflective of her life as a vibrant woman and artist. Also, I’m looking a lot at Margaret Olley and Margaret Preston at the moment.

I love the strong graphic elements of Preston’s work. Her printmaking and compositional design is inspiring. I lived in Japan as a high school student and was drawn to woodblock prints. I am still influenced by this aesthetic when it comes to flowers, the simplification of them and strong use of shape, decoration and colour.

Margaret Olley- I delivered her some flowers once through my work as a florist. I told her I was an artist and she started to give me advice- she told me “whatever you do… don’t get a grant!”. She told me that she thought that work was very important to young artists, to learn the value of the money that they earnt. I have embraced my work as a florist and can see a synergy in the way I work. I draw from it to make my paintings better. She inspired me with her character, talent and drive.

4) With your own art practice, where would you like to be in 10 years.

I’d like to be making beautiful paintings in a studio in a country garden. Showing interstate and overseas. Working across mediums.

5) What kind of art training have you had?

I studied Art History and Theory in my undergraduate degree at Sydney Uni when I was doing an Asian Studies degree in Japanese language there. I did a few Tin Sheds courses as well. Then I completed a Master of Art at COFA in Printmaking and Painting. I’ve always done life drawing and did a drawing marathon in New York last year at the New York Studio School as well.

6) Can you tell us about your process when creating an artwork?

I like to paint from life whether it be portraits or still life. I like the challenge and the speed required for it! It forces me to be decisive and bold. I make a loose underpainting in bright colours and then work all over the whole surface evenly until it builds up. I work in bursts and sit back on my couch to look at it until I’m ready to jump up again. I like to keep moving through the work.

7) In the arts is social media helpful or not and why?

I use instagram to upload photographs of my work in progress and studio. I think it can support your online presence by being a more casual and conversational platform than your website. I love taking photos so instagram suits me. It has opened up my work to a wider audience and I’ve had a few opportunities come my way because of it.

8) What’s the funniest thing you’ve heard someone say about your own work?

I can’t remember. Plenty.

9) What’s next on the agenda?

More flower paintings and studio interiors, and nudes.
Maunsell Wickes Gallery in March.

10) What is your advice to children who want to be artists?

Draw, paint, make, do. Doing is the most important. You just know it in your bones if you want to be an artist, and you won’t
be able to help it anyway, so make sure you follow your instincts when it comes to deciding whether to keep going with it.

11) How are you finding the current art market?

It seems fine at my level but I think this current state of flux effects more established artists and it’s hard for people to find galleries to show with.

12) Name four things that you can’t do without in your studio?

My brown couch that cost $70 when I had a studio in Windsor. It’s been with me in every studio I’ve had, I’m so attached to it!
Tea or Coffee
Paint
Something to paint on.

13) If you couldn’t be an artist what would you be?

A pilot.

UpRaw: Great Art Unearthed
Gain access to raw, unadulterated talent from the world’s best emerging artists
Be the first to own artwork by emerging artists from around the world at the launch of UpRaw, an online platform
for early career artists. Art lovers and collectors will be able to access unique art pieces without the exorbitant
price-tag through UpRaw’s website dedicated to connecting raw creative talent with art enthusiasts.

Part of Sydney-based art investment company Art Equity, UpRaw is pushing the boundaries of showcasing and
selling art. CEO Raj Nanda marvels that just 10 years ago selling online was in its infancy and online galleries
were rare.

Now it’s a valuable platform for emerging and established artists to expose their work to the global art world. “As
pioneers in the business of selling art online we see UpRaw as a natural development, with the website’s easy to
navigate functionality and shopping cart facilities,” he explains.

“UpRaw is an affordable entry to art collecting. We make a point of offering original artworks that are accessible to
all art enthusiasts, with prices starting at under AU$200 and nothing priced over AU$2,000. We also provide free
shipping within Australia and New Zealand,” he adds.

Ralph Hobbs, Art Director and an artist represented by UpRaw notes being able to showcase and sell high quality
artworks online is an opportunity to broaden artists’ reach and expose their work to a wider audience that “may
be intimidated by the gallery scene or not necessarily have time to go to openings”.

“The reality is that the internet is a global market place and at UpRaw there is a serious understanding of the way
art and the internet work together. It has exposed my art to a far greater audience than I would normally be able
to create,” adds Hobbs.

“UpRaw looks after all the issues associated with selling work, so I can get on and do it. So far as UpRaw is
concerned I can produce the work and watch it sell to people I will probably never know. As an artist, that is a
great feeling.”

“Over the 9 years of building Art Equity, we’ve been exposed to hundreds of talented early career artists. We’ve
kept our eye on them, mentored many of them and are now thrilled to be able to represent them through UpRaw.”

Currently, almost 20 Australian and international artists are represented by UpRaw. Mediums range from
traditional oil paintings, photography, drawings and original prints to stencil art.

Artists have been carefully selected through a number of criteria; Hobbs says they are required to go above and
beyond “decorative work to maintain technical and conceptual substance.” The combined experience of the staff
at Art Equity and UpRaw are just as valuable to buyers.

Emma Crott, Coordinator of UpRaw, says “we are committed to not only providing an online exhibition space but
curating various art initiatives and pop-up shows in Australia and beyond so customers can experience the works
in a physical environment.”
“We are always seeking new and exciting ways to showcase our artists’ work, for example we regularly exhibit at
EMI Music on Flinders Street (Sydney) as part of their Art Project. Collaborations with the music, fashion and food
industries allow us to promote our artists to a broad range of people and create a dialogue with other cultural
entities.”

What is the Red Rattler Theatre Inc, and what are the Red Rattler’s future plans?
The Red Rattler is the realisation of the collective dream of five local queer woman artists, who wanted to create a legal warehouse-style venue to showcase alternative Sydney arts, performance and grassroots activism. It has been an active artist run initiative for 4 years, running as an indie, not-for-profit, volunteer run, fully licensed warehouse space. It also includes two artist studios. The Red Rattler Theatre Inc has become a creative playground for performers, musicians, artists, designers, new media makers, experimentalists, film-makers, theorists, activists, writers, collective organisers, and local punters.

The Red Rattler has recently moved from a collective partnership governing model to a not-for-profit incorporated arts association.

IN STUDIO with Mark Rowden

Click on images for website links

           1) Who is Mark Rowden?

A printmaker, artist and father. Born in the UK, I moved to Sydney in the late 90′s. I make art works concentrating on relief prints. I believe that being an artist is simple = you just have to make art, no one else will make it for you unless you’re Andy Warhol!

2) Explain your current body of work?

My Current body of art has two strands, the overlapping connection is that they are all high contrast lino-cut prints. The first is a collection of memories of childhood, a playful grouping of images that have all been hand coloured. The second group is a collection of portraits that are more sensual and suggetive.

3) If you can pick one artist as an inspiration, who would it be and why?

As everybody says..this is a hard question. I can only narrow it down to three artists: Caspar David Friedrich, Anselm Kiefer and Alfred Sisley.
A very eclectic grouping I know, but I find they all bring a tonality to their works that I like. They produce is a vibe that I connect to, a sensation that provokes me into thought and generally gets me into the head space that allows me to work. Another big inspiration to me is snow. A friend of mine and fellow artist, Tim Smith, once described snow’s effect on the artist’s eye beautifully: “When the snow lands on the ground, it takes all the middle ground away and leaves the core information that is needed for the mind to connect the pieces”, which is exactly right and for me these artists have that tone in some of their works.

4) With your own art/art practice, where would you like to be in 10 years?

I’d love to be able to live off my art, have a permanent studio and inspire people with what I create.

5) What kind of art training have you had?

1 year of study at an art school in the UK and 4 years in Australia (at National Art School). On top of this I’ve done 8 years of fine art editioning for artists including Charles Blackman, John Olsen, Adam Cullen and McLean Edwards to name a few. Editioning is terrific training – you are teaching and learning at the same time. When you edition with a painter the conversations you have teach you so much.

6) Can you tell us about your process when creating an artwork?

It’s usually a three-step process: make a drawing on the block, carve it and then print it. The main thing with the printmaking process is how many times the image you’re creating can change throughout each stage, unlike a painting where each mark is seen straight away and that is the mark.

7) In the arts is social media helpful or not and why?

It’s a sure fire way to get your business out there. I use it all the time. I use Twitter, WordPress and Facebook, privately and through my ‘sydney galleries and art community’ blog. It connects people and I have tried to use it in away that the people know what they are getting with me, keeping it on subject and keeping focused. It’s like any other medium though – to make it work you have to direct it to the right people, the ones that matter, and you must keep your messages true and on point. But art can still speak for itself, if it’s good people will find out.

8) What was the funniest thing you’ve heard someone say about your own work?

The words that come to mind are “You’ve got detention”. I was never a word person and when it came to my English class it was all words! So when I got some home work to make up a story about anything, I wrote one page A4 of a great story, followed by nine pages of drawing to accompany it. My teacher said it was time to step up and write more, draw less, and my response was, “Isn’t a picture worth a thousand words?” Wrong response.

9) What is on the agenda for the next couple of months?

I have a solo show at the Sydney Children’s Hospital at Randwick opening Feb 7, then I’m part of a group show in Melbourne at Off The Kerb gallery opening March 8. Then my work will be part of ‘Conductor’s Project’, an art initiative at Museum and St James train stations, in June. Then after that a break to refresh and get the ideas flowing again, along with enjoying being a dad.

http://www.facebook.com/events/200737780064468

10) What is your advice to children who want to be artists?

Do it if it’s the one thing you wake up wanting to do and the last thing you are thinking about as you go to sleep. Don’t feel like you have to work with canvas or hung in an art gallery to be an artist either – you can be an architect, a graphic designer, or even create computer games.
Just put some art in your life, have fun and you’ll get there.

11) How are you finding the current art market?

Can’t lie, it’s hard out there and people are looking at new markets and new ways to earn a living. It’s not all about the money either but it sure does help you get the right equipment and space to make works. But just make art when and where you can, as long as you are making it, that’s all that matters.

12) Name four things that you cannot do without in your studio?

My computer, music to listen to, a good coffee from my local and a 4B pencil.

13) If you couldn’t be an artist what would you be?

Apparently I wanted to be a fireman when I was little so I’ll go with that.

14) Where can we find more about Mark Rowden?

Interview with Copyright Agency|Viscopy

1) What is Copyright Agency|Viscopy?

Copyright Agency|Viscopy is a not for profit rights management organisation. We enable the use of text and images in return for fair payment to writers, visual artists and publishers. This includes managing the Viscopy business which delivers licensing services to artists and users of images.

2) What is the Resale Royalty?

The artists’ resale royalty scheme is relatively new legislation that sees artists receiving royalties on certain resales of their work. Since the start of the scheme on 9 June 2010 it has generated royalties totalling more than $870,000 from more than 4,500 resales, attributed to more than 440 artists
(over 60% of these are indigenous artists). While some royalties have been paid to the families of deceased artists, the majority have been paid to living artists – in fact, the youngest artist to receive a royalty was 21 years old.

A royalty is payable if:
• the seller purchased the work after 8 June 2010;
• the work resells for $1,000 or more (including GST);
• the resale was not a private sale from one individual to another;
• the artist is an Australian citizen or resident;
If the artist has died:
• it was less than 70 years ago; and
• there is a beneficiary or estate with a connection to Australia.

3) Who are you and what is your role?

My name is Tristan Chant and I’m the Visual Artist Manager at Copyright Agency|Viscopy. My role was developed to enhance services to our visual artist members and assist with the implementation of the resale royalty scheme. I am also the membership manager for Viscopy andthe transactional licensing schemes.

4) How are you different to other companies?

We offer centralised licensing services for visual artists – we can be a ‘one stop’ source of licences to enable others to use an artist’s work with their permission and in exchange for a fair payment for that use. We’re also not for profit which means that we only deduct our administration fees from the royalties and fees earned by our members, to cover the services we provide.

5) How do you think artists see royalties?

I think artists see royalties as a positive addition to their income from creating art.

6) How does an artist get royalties?

There are a number of ways artists can receive royalties. If you are a member of Viscopy, we act as your worldwide agent and licence your works on your behalf. This includes use in publications, catalogues, merchandise and online reproductions. Another way to receive royalties is through the statutory licences. Copyright Agency manages the Commonwealth Government’s statutory licences; these statutory licenses provide schools and government access to use content without needing individual copyright clearances and also provide fair payment to the rightsholders for those uses.

For Viscopy members, we can also collect statutory licence income from Screenrights for images that have been used in television broadcasts. We also have agreements in place with similar organisations around the world that enable the use of foreign text and images in Australia, and the collection of fees and royalties for the use of Australian works overseas. And finally, there’s potential royalty income through the artists’ resale royalty scheme which I’ve spoken about above.

7) When does an artist qualify to receive royalties?

There are a number of ways an artist’s work can attract royalties. Firstly – by having an eligible resale of your work through the artists’ resale royalty scheme.

Royalties and licence fees can also come about from transactional by Viscopy. Finally, if your work is picked up in a sample survey from our statutory licences.

8) Are there any limitations to receiving royalties for your work?

For the resale royalty scheme it is 5% of the sale price (less admin and GST costs) for works that meet the eligibility criteria. For statutory and transactional licensing it is based on the type and volume of usage and how your works been used – for educational purposes, for government or commercial use and suchlike.

9) Is signing up something we need to do now or in the future?

I would recommend all artists consider signing up to Copyright Agency|Viscopy and register for resale royalty payments. Membership is free and while there may not be an immediate payment for you this will help to streamline payments in the future. Membership of Viscopy will allow us to include your work in our repertoire so it can be licensed. We are also a great contact and referral point for industry related enquiries.

10) How does an artist register?

Registration for the resale royalty scheme can be found at http://www.resaleroyalty.org.au. For membership to Copyright Agency|Viscopy artists can head over http://www.viscopy.org.au. Both sites have online forms or downloadable PDF versions, they only take a few minutes to complete online.

11) What have you found out about artists when dealing with them?

Artists are a great group of professionals to work with, they are always eager to learn about developments that affect their industry and passionate about what they do for a living. It been great to see artists start to realise the value in their works beyond primary sales.

12) What funds do you run for artists and art professionals?

We run a fund called the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, which has two main areas of focus. Firstly, we have the Major Cultural Projects Fund. The priority for this fund is to support innovation in the Australian creative industries and to develop local and foreign markets for Australian works. Recent recipients of funding have included NAVA, Arts Law, Biennale of Sydney and 4A Gallery. A full list of projects funded is available here.

Secondly, we have the Creative Industries Career Fund. This fund supports individual Australian creators and those involved in the creative industries who wish to develop their skills and take their careers to the next level. Applicants can apply for grants of up to $5,000 to undertake training and other activities that will enhance their careers. Projects supported by the fund can be found here, and it’s a great indication of the diverse range of projects Australian creators are participating in. More information about the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund is available here.

13) What art do you have in the office?

We lease most of our works from Artbank. My favourite would have to be the Ginger Riley (Ngak Ngak) in the board room.

14) How do we find you?

Our offices are located at Level 15/233 Castlereagh St, Sydney, 2000.

IN STUDIO with Remnim Alexander Tayco

1. Who is Remnim Alexander Tayco

I was born in the Philippines and came to Sydney when I was ten. I studied at the
National Art School, the College of Fine Arts and the Charlie Sheard Studio School. I
exhibit at Charles Hewitt Gallery, and will be having my second show there from 5 July
2012.

2. Explain your current body of work

My upcoming show, Tree Ballad, is a series of landscape paintings that explore the
mystical qualities of the natural environment, and reflect an intimate journey into an
imagined whimsical world. Whilst the series is not a realist rendering of specific places,
the landscapes depicted are based on the very real connections I feel with the natural
world. These works have involved a process of initially distilling images onto small
sketches, followed by an intensive seventeenth century Dutch paint layering technique on
canvass.

3. If you can pick one artist as an inspiration, who would it be and why?

There are many Dutch artists in the seventeenth century that inspire me. The technique
they use and the mood that they are able to capture is pretty astounding. If I had to pick
one artist, it’ll have to be Jacob van Ruisdael.

4. With your art/art practice, where would you like to be in 10 years?

The dream, like most artists, is to be able to practice art full time. It’s a pretty simple
dream; of having the space and creative freedom to do what I love.

5. How are you finding the current art market?

The thing that I have discerned about the art market is that there is always demand for art
that is of a good quality. I can’t be too preoccupied about trends in the market if I want to
have the freedom to produce works that satisfy me at the creative level.

6. Name four things that you cannot do without in your studio?

Easel, good lighting, storage space and oil paints.

7. In the arts, is social media helpful or not, and why?

Yes! Being an artist is often a very solitary experience. Social media helps to connect
artists, share ideas, and promote our work.

8. What was the funniest thing you’ve heard someone say about your work?

That the trees in a painting look like “bunny ears” – well observed, but not intentional.

9. What is next on the agenda?

I will be looking forward to taking a breather from the studio after the show and some
traveling, which is always a source of inspiration.

10) What is your advice to children who want to be artists?

Be optimistic and don’t let others’ negativity influence you.

11. Where can we find more about Alex Tayco?

Hardware Gallery 2011 Callout
Artist Opportunity – 6th Annual Google Show

This September the Seymour Centre will host Hardware Gallery’s 6th annual Google exhibition. Every year Hardware Gallery assembles a group of artists to accept an art mission. On the same day, at the same time, every artist will Google the same phrase. From a nominated page of results, all artists must select one website as their sole source of inspiration for making an artwork. It is an interactive approach to a group show that allows participating artists to unleash their creative best.
Hardware Gallery’s Google exhibition will be a major event in The Sydney Fringe Visual Arts program for 2012. In 2011, the Google exhibition showcased the work of the largest number of artists yet. This year, with an expanded Sydney Fringe Visual Arts program being curated, we are expecting to match this achievement. The 6th Annual Google exhibition will be one of the most significant exhibitions in this year’s Sydney Fringe program alongside an array of other exciting shows!
Selection Process
We have no set limit on the number of artists who can participate this year. So how are we selecting artists? Good question. In line with the curatorial aims of The Sydney Fringe, Hardware Gallery is seeking independent artists with creative and professional flair. We are looking for artists working in any medium who can adapt their work to a challenging and creative guideline. We are seeking artists who are well organised and professional in their art practice.
If you are interested in participating in the 6th Annual Google exhibition you will need to send us a bit of information about yourself, your work and why you think this exhibition is suitable for you.

Get your submission in EARLY!
Cost
$50 (plus gst) for selected artists
Time Frame
Deadline for applications to participate – 6 July, 2012
Deadline for participation fee payment – 15 July, 2012
Date of Googling – 1 Aug, 2012
Deadline for submission and delivery of works – 1 Sept, 201

What happens next?
Send us a submission that includes the details outlined below.
We will let you know if you are accepted into the show. We will send you the phrase to Google before the set day. You Google it. You get inspired and start creating your work and have two months to complete it. Multiple works and installations will be accepted.

What do you need to send us? (Deadline 6 July, 2012)

In your submission please include the following:
1. Name
2. Contact details
3. Exhibition: Google 2012
4. A brief description of your artistic practice (up to 150 words).
5. A brief explanation why you are the right artist for this show.
6. 1-5 images of your recent artwork (jpegs up to 1MB each).
7. Artist’s CV or Bio (1 page).
Email submissions to: info@hardwaregallery.com.au

The Writing Project – NATIONAL CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
FELTspace presents: THE WRITING PROJECT

Would you like to
- Collaborate across Australia?
- Experiment across creative disciplines?
- Produce, publish and launch critical arts writing?
- Receive funding toward a new body of work?

The Writing Project provides this opportunity to emerging artists, curators, designers and writers!
The Writing Project is an innovative opportunity fostering experimentation and inter-disciplinary collaboration. Open to emerging arts practitioners nationwide, it encourages the creation of new critical arts writing based work.
Administered by FELTspace, a South Australian ARI, The Writing Project will fund four successful teams of four, each comprised of an emerging artist, designer, curator and writer. Together, each team will work throughout 2012-13 toward an innovative and discrete body of work, which should take any writing based form. This may involve an artist made book, ‘zine, online media, limited edition print, paste-up, video, installation, performance or exhibition.
The Writing Project aims to achieve experimental and unexpected outcomes that stretch beyond the physical and conceptual limits of arts writing. While providing a platform for collaboration and innovative new work, the project hopes to connect audiences with new perceptions and forms of arts writing. FELTspace invites applications from across Australia by or on behalf of these groups of four, including an artist, curator, writer and designer.
APPLICATIONS CLOSE MIDNIGHT, JUNE 30 2012.
