2013 MOSMAN ART PRIZE – call for entries, announcing exhibition dates and judge
Mosman Art Gallery has opened the call for entries to the 66th annual Mosman Art Prize – presenting a public exhibition of finalists works from 13 July to 25 August 2013.
Mosman Art Prize is a national painting award of $30,000. Sponsored by Mosman Council it is the longest running municipal art prize in Australia. The acquisitive award forms the basis of the Mosman Art Collection, a valuable and important survey of Australian painting.
The Mosman Art Prize is Mosman Art Gallery’s flagship annual exhibition. This free public exhibition features selected finalists from a pool of established and emerging artists who work in oils, acrylics or watercolours.

Call for Proposals – Solid Ground II: Echoes
Solid Ground II: Echoes Curated by Tom Macphail*
13 – 30 June 2013
With a Federal election approaching, Solid Ground II: Echoes is an inquiry into the current debates pertaining to asylum seekers and refugees within Australia by bringing together a range of artists and writers, aiming to approach the subject by expressing a variety of viewpoints, observations and lived experiences.
The aim of the exhibition is to focus on the facts of the current issues whilst considering Australia’s immigration history, international context and the political rhetoric and media sensationalism that has marred the issues and demonized ‘boat people’. The ‘White Australian’ policy of earlier decades demonstrates that Australian’s fear of outsiders is nothing new, yet the current polarization of the voting public reveals issues of underlying xenophobia that we have yet to shake off.
At The Vanishing Point gallery, in association with OPEN Marrickville is calling for artists whose artworks/practices are engaged with the above subject and writers who are looking to be published with the show’s accompanying zine. All medium and contemporary visual arts practices are welcome to apply.
Propose up to 5 artworks per artist.
Proposals due 6pm Sunday 2 June.
For a proposal form http://www.atthevanishingpoint.com.au/web_images/2013_ProposalCalls/Solid%20Ground%20II%20Echoes%20Proposal%20FORM_WEB.pdf
For further information http://www.atthevanishingpoint.com.au/index.php?p=9_6
or call (02) 9519 2340 or email info@atthevanishingpoint.com.au
*Solid Ground II: Echoes is supported by funding from Marrickville Council’s Open Marrickville festival & ATVP’s Emerging Curator Mentorship program, supported by The Visual Arts and Craft Strategy and the NSW Government through Arts NSW.

The Fish Bowl – new project space call out
As you may have heard the new Dean (Ross Harley) has given his offices on the ground floor of D-block to the student body as exhibition or project spaces.
These glass walled rooms look out on to the courtyard and are an amazing place to conduct performances, live art production, and exhibit installations.
This new space is called The Fish Bowl. It will be open to any student* who wishes to use it. One room is for a week-long exhibition of work/ experimental project, another is a casual space to trial installation possibilities of your work for a few hours.
All you need to do to gain access to these awesome new rooms is to send a proposal to the Courtyard Collective via the Arc Office at COFA. As long as you aren’t using anything problematic like a raging bonfire or litres of sulphuric acid, we’ll slot you in!
Contact us at cofa@arc.unsw.edu.au
*you must be an Arc member…it’s free!

Wallpeople is a collaborative art event that happens in 45 cities around the world at the same time. A city wall will become a makeshift outdoor gallery, where all participants may exhibit their own works and collaborate to create an improvised open-air museum.
This year, Sydney joins the global network of creatives for the first time, and invites all city artists & creative enthusiasts alike to join us on the 1st of June in Newtown.
Created in Barcelona in 2009, Wallpeople invites people to create and be a part of a unique experiment in an urban space, thus making an ephemeral street artwork.
Wallpeople 2013 – MUSIC EDITION
The guiding theme for 2013 is MUSIC. We want everyone to express their unique relationship with music, no matter what genre or style. The participants have two possibilities:
1. Reinterpret a song in an artistic format of choice: illustration, photography, text, painting, collage, canvas…
2. Create any art work related to music in a general way: For example: a tribute to an artist, a concert, a musical moment of your life, your favourite style, musical origins…
HOW TO PARTICIPATE?

4.Stick your work(s) on the wall with the rest of the works. If your inspiration is a particular song, you must indicate the name of the track and the artist.
5.Wallpeople team will have the necessary adhesives but we still ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING YOUR OWN MOUNTING TAPE OR ADHESIVE TAPE if possible, to facilitate the process. You can also BYO art supplies as we encourage all participants to make live art creations.
6.Wallpeople team will mark the start and ending of the event (about 3-4 hours).
7.At the end of the exhibition, you can take your work back or swap it with another participant’s, thus turning the event into an artistic exchange. If you want, you can write down your contact information, in case who took your work wants to contact you.

The John Fries Memorial Prize celebrates emerging art through a $10,000 non-acquisitive award donated by the Fries family in memory of former Viscopy director and honorary treasurer, John Fries.
Enter online by 6 May http://www.viscopy.org.au/art_prize_submissions/new
This year’s guest curator Sebastian Goldspink said that the prize has grown to become a significant event in Sydney’s cultural and contemporary art calendar. “The John Fries Memorial Prize showcases some of the most engaging and experimental artwork from the emerging end of the contemporary art scene,” Goldspink said, “that’s why it is so exciting to be a part of this prize – the finalists not only represent the cutting edge of contemporary art, they are producing work which challenges our perception of art forms and practice.”

The prize is open to Australian and New Zealand artists who are not enrolled as a student and whose work is not represented in the collection of an Australian state, territory or national public art gallery. The John Fries Memorial Prize is administered by Copyright Agency | Viscopy.

Goldspink said the prize aimed to provide emerging artists with a valuable career development opportunity. “The finalists in the John Fries Memorial Prize exhibition will have the opportunity to share their work with leading figures in the contemporary art sector including our judges – Dr Daniel Mudie Cunningham, Felicity Fenner, Dr Sanné Mestrom and Kath Fries. We’re lucky in 2013 to have a judging panel with diverse expertise across a number of organisations and events such as Artbank and the Venice Biennale. I’m looking forward to viewing the entries we receive and seeing which finalists will be part of the exhibition later this year.” (Sebastian Goldspink, JFMP 2013 Guest Curator)

The finalists work will be exhibited at Gaffa Galleries Sydney, 24 August – 14 September, and the winner will be announced at 7pm on 27 August.

Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative celebrated 25 years of existence in November last year.

younger artists. Our volunteer contributions to the ongoing survival of the co-operative run into hundreds of
thousands of dollars. People believe and donate their time and expertise to ensure that Aboriginal people
have a voice in their own country.

This event will occur in the week of the anniversary of the 1967 Referendum for Citizenship.
The opening will occur on Wednesday 29 May from 6 – 8pm and run through until Saturday 1 June.
The last date for dropping off the donated work will be the Sunday 26 May by 4pm.

We have an inherited debt where interest is accruing daily (we are being asked to pay someone else’s debt in the form of rates)
Our commitment to resolving issues has been highlighted by the endurance that we have displayed,
particularly in the last 3 years.

We are asking you to stand with us and secure a future for this co-operative.

SAVE THE RAT A collective community space in need of saving!
Save the Rat is the just launched fundraising campaign for the award winning and much-loved accessible arts
space in Sydneyʼs inner-west the Red Rattler with a goal to ensure the venue stays open. The Rattlerʼs 5th
birthday party is fast approaching and therefore a dedicated team of unpaid board members, as well as a crew of
over 50 volunteers, are all working tirelessly on the Red Rattlerʼs fundraising activities and events. Their aim is to
raise loan costs in order to acquire a 40% share of the building.

At the AGM, all those interested in the positions available at SCASS can put their hand up and be democratically elected by their peers.

Best part is that there is NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! You learn on the job and previous directors will assist you if you need help!

This is one of the best ways to gain the experience necessary for future participation in the art community!

DedSpace Positions Available:
Co-Directors (Max 3 People)
This is a team position and the responsibilities are shared among the chosen directors.

Some tasks include:
- Exhibition call outs & Schedualing
- Dealing with Exhibiting Artists and/or Curators
- Managing DedSpace Email
- Managing Facebook Page & Event Invites
- Managing and updating DedSpace Blog & twitter acconts
- Dealing with existing and potential gallery sponsors

- Enjoying a great night at every opening!

What is DedSpace you ask?

DedSpace Gallery is a student-run, not-for-profit gallery located in building 15 of Sydney College of the Arts (SCA). It is made possible with funding from University of Sydney Union (USU) and Sydney College of the Arts Student Society (SCASS), both of which are directly funded by ACCESS program membership.

We aim to provide a venue for students to exhibit their work and to gain professional experience to further assist them for a future outside of the university setting. We also intend to foster the student experience by providing a space that encourages interdisciplinary dialogue and critical discussion.

We look forward to seeing you at the SCASS AGM on 10th April 2013!

Bigci.org Artist-residency

Artists are welcome to stay for an agreed period of time either in the house or the studio – depending on availability – to create new work, develop ideas, or work on their projects. The work space will depend on artist’s project requirements. The vision is that the extraordinary beauty of the surroundings will provide a ground for professional development. The house, studio and bushland are available for all kinds of initiatives. Each project will be agreed on individually. Proposals are welcome throughout the year – each time of year has its own beauty and creative possibilities. It is recommended that proposals are submitted well in advance. Successful applicants are charged a subsidised residency fee. The 2013 rate is AUD$250 (plus $25 GST) per person per week for Australian artists and AUD$300 (plus $30 GST) for international artists. This includes a private room and shared living facilities, bathroom, kitchen, internet,  electricity, water and artist support. Successful applicants will be responsible for all other costs including food, transport, travel costs, insurance and art materials. They will be required to pay a refundable bond of AUD$500 prior to occupancy to cover any costs associated with damage or extraordinary cleaning. BigCi is located on the edge of Wollemi National Park, about one hour and a half away from Sydney. Due to a remote location of the BigCi, a car is strongly recommended. Please note that BigCi does not provide transport and that the artists are responsible for making the neccesary arrangements. In cases when the artist is unable to have a car, we will provide a pick up/drop off from Richmond train station on arrival/departure and once a week transport for food shopping. Note that there is no stipend or living allowance attached to the stay in BigCi. Interstate and overseas artists in particular should consider other ways to fund their visit.

There is a possibility of an exhibition at the end of the residency and of a presentation on the BigCi website as Resident–in–Spotlight. To secure the booking, the residency fee including the refundable bond is payable upon the approval of the application form. All applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application.

SafARI 2014 National Call for Artist Submissions

SafARI is the unofficial fringe exhibition to the Biennale of Sydney, and 2014
will mark its fifth edition. SafARI showcases the work of emerging and
unrepresented Australian artists in multiple sites across Sydney, including
Artist Run Initiatives (ARIs) and public spaces. It is timed to coincide with
the crucial first opening weeks of the Biennale of Sydney in March 2014.
In the past, SafARI has exhibited the work of sculptors, photographers,
installation artists, painters, performance artists, ceramicists, printmakers,
digital, video and new media artists, and we are interested in representing the
diversity of Australian contemporary arts practice again in 2014. Previous
participants in SafARI have gone on to new heights in their practice and
careers; artists such as Clark Beaumont, Liam Benson, Tom Polo, Karla Dickens
and Mark Rodda.
SafARI is now calling for submissions from emerging and unrepresented artists
working across diverse media across Australia to be considered for SafARI 2014.
Solo artists and/or groups of one or more artists will be considered.

Submissions should include:
An artist statement (max 300 words)
A proposal of artworks/projects for SafARI 2014 (max 300 words)
Maximum of 10 images and/or footage
1 A4 page CV
Stamped SAE for return of material if required.

Call for Proposals for un Magazine volume 7 issue 1

For this issue of un Magazine we want to explore concepts of knowledge and research and the role they play in the production of contemporary art.

Submissions can consider the means and methods by which contemporary artists produce and construct knowledge either by way of academic research or other non-academic, non- institutionalised forms of research or knowledge making. If we accept that our understanding of research practice in science is that it produces ‘new’ or ‘important’ or ‘significant’ knowledge, then what knowledge, if any, is produced by an artwork? Is it possible for an artwork to produce new or important or significant knowledge? And if it does, what form does this take?

un Magazine is interested in articles written by artists as well as by writers that may take the form of research based feature articles, interviews or reviews that address these questions and others related to examining the relationship between contemporary art, research, and knowledge. Proposals for artist pages are also invited and encouraged.

un Magazine content:
We welcome proposals for contributions including but not limited to: criticism or review of contemporary independent art projects, exhibitions and publications (taking place since March 2013); interviews; essays and features on topics that can contribute to current debate; and contributions of experimental contemporary art practice engaged with text, writing or publication modes. Priority is also given to art projects and organisations that are often overlooked by mainstream art publications.

Please email:

-A completed Application Form (PDF) (dowload from un Projects.org.au)
-100 word outline of your proposed writing or an example, or mock-up or description of a proposed artwork
-Full curriculum vitae and a short sample of writing if you are proposing a text contribution
-2-5 images (as small jpeg files only) if relevant
-All submissions and editorial enquiries should be emailed to the Editor: jarrod@unmagazine.org

Applications due 5pm Monday 11 March 2013

Ever wanted to learn more about the intricacies of the Riso printer? Keen to be part of the core group of people who keep the machine and open print sessions going? Want (limited) out of hours access to the machine? Ever wanted to be paid to teach others how to use the stencil press?

Enrol in our 1 day volunteer training day and get qualified to be an open print volunteer – you’ll be the one helping others in the community use the machine on an open print studio day.

The course is at The Oxford St Design Store (58 Oxford St) from 12-5pm on Sunday 17 March and it’s FREE! But we ask you commit to volunteering for at least 3 open print sessions over the next 6 months.

You’ll learn how to troubleshoot printing, how the administrative and financial side of the collective works (it’s easy, we promise!) and the house rules of the space we’re in. Once you’ve done the course you’ll be rostered on to Saturday open print studio shifts, and can use the machine before and after the sessions for your own printing (at cost price).

After you’ve volunteered for three open print studios we’d love you to keep volunteering, and also think about taking on paid roles running workshops in the space – all our paid workshops include a teaching fee for collective members who teach the courses.

Email us at workshop@rizzeria.com if you want to enrol or have any questions.
When: 12:00pm until 5:00pm
@ Rizzeria Printer – 58 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst

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.

14) Where can we find more about Laura Jones?
