IN MEMORY OF BOB GRANT, RESPECTED ASV MEMBER

An Obituary Notice by Michael Meszaros was included in the ASV November/December Newsletter

President’s Message April 2010

In between ASV exhibitions I thought it would be advantageous to use the front page of the newsletter to feature the works of a particular ASV member at times. It seemed to me that appropriate criteria are that the member has provided art of a good standard, and that the member has contributed time and energy to support ASV activities. Michael suggested we start with Bob Grant, who passed on so recently. Accordingly a photo of himself and a selection of his work are shown on the front page of this edition. We respect the quality of his work and express our thanks to his help to the ASV over the years. We are so glad that you have been with us, Bob.

On administration issues, I apologise for the late issue this month, due to holidays. I have now eliminated the listing of sculpture exhibitions in other States in this newsletter, to simplify and reduce the workload. I suggest that those travelling interstate, or competing in interstate competitions, refer to the excellent professional magazine “Sculpture +the enemies” produced by Katherine Harrington in NSW, in which she gives a broad coverage of sculpture competitions and exhibitions across Australia. A notice on the most recent magazine is included below in Notices. We shall continue to report in detail on Victorian activity, and to mention interstate or overseas competitions or exhibitions only if they are of particular significance – the Lempriere scholarship opportunities, for example. Jenny has suggested some ASV members may like to contribute on sections of the newsletter in future to spread my workload, and we could discuss this at the April monthly meeting. Contributions would be welcome from a country member. Sections of which to take control would be, for example, review of NAVA announcements, or review of coming Victorian exhibitions: all you need is Internet access. I maintain right of editing.

ASV Current Activities

Wednesday 5 May 2010: ASV Committee Meeting: if you have a burning issue that you would like discussed please contact a Committee Member as listed at the foot of this news sheet, as soon as possible. Items on the existing Agenda include Tesselaar Exhibition 2010, Annual Exhibition 2010, ASV Website, and Preliminary Budget 2010-2011.

12 May at 7.30 pm: ASV Monthly Meeting: A show and tell meeting where sculptor members each bring a work or 2 done recently, and give a little talk about each piece.

ASV Support Statement for plan to install a new sculpture on Herring Island:
The original scheme which put sculpture on Herring Island was interesting and progressive, giving an extra dimension to a place which, up until that time, had been little known and inaccessible to the public. Appropriately, much of the work generated at that time was environmental, i.e., it was either made a part of the environment or it was derived from the environment.

Since the original sculpture project, there has been no addition to the display and some of the works have deteriorated, become overgrown or largely vanished. While this is in some cases an intended outcome of environmental sculpture, if the charter for Herring Island is to be maintained there should be an ongoing program to introduce new work to replace those which return to the elements and to continue public interest in sculpture on the Island.

Margaret Gunnersen Thomas's piece, 'Eclipse', would be a fitting work to re-establish the sculpture program on Herring Island. It is strong and simple aesthetically and very robust physically, making it suitable for a public position. It deals with a natural phenomenon and it uses basic materials- granite and steel, which will blend into the natural environment. Placed in the right position, it would become a sculptural signpost and a focal point for the Island.

Reports on ASV Recent Activities MIFGS 2010 23 March – 28 March 2010.

www.melbflowershow.com.au.

The Flower Show sculpture exhibition for 2010 was very different to all previous ones run by the ASV over the last 12 years. 

The big change this year was that we ran the exhibition in three different sections each with a first Prize of a $1000, and a second prize of $250. The change seems to have been a great success from the feedback from exhibitors, the public and especially the Judge and the Sponsors.

We had a good turnout with just on 50 artists, slightly up on last year. There were a total of 88 exhibits.

We are grateful to our Sponsors without whom the prizes could not have been made. They were:-
Dame Elisabeth Murdoch $1,000
Mitre 10 /IMG and “The Flower Show Organisers” $1,500
Without Pier Gallery (Terry Earle) $1,000
The ASV $ 750
Bulleen Art and Gardens (Meredith Plain) $ 250
 

Prize winners were:-
Section 1 – Carving First Richard Kloester “Thorn” Second Kevin Free “Sails”
Section 2 – Formed, etc. First Pauline Meade “Family Tree”
Second Elguja Kartvelishvilli “Female Torso”
Section 3 – Fabrications, etc. First Rudy Jass “Regrowth”
Second Andris Osenieks “Dragon”
People’s choice award went overwhelmingly to Andris’ “Dragon” with Martin Moore’s “The Goanna and the Currawong” getting a second prize award as there was no prize this year for Presentation.
 

Our judge, Peter Schipperheyn made some very pleasant and favourable comments as to the general standard of the work and as to the variety of subjects and the different treatments presented. Unfortunately other business prevented him at the last moment coming to our presentation.
 

The presentation was again held at La Notte in Lygon Street and about 65 people attended. The evening was introduced by Patrick Culshaw this year’s Exhibition Co-ordinator. Kevin Free (Honorary Life Member) stood in for Peter Schipperheyn and talked about the good standard of exhibits. Geoff Williams as President of the ASV presented the prizes.
 

The whole exhibition was a huge success in bringing Sculpture to “The People of Victoria”. We had over 6,000 people’s choice votes. Many favourable comments and we gained some new members. We sold 11 pieces including two major ones of $7,000 and $8,500.
 

Whilst it is not the object to make money from the exhibition the Treasure is pleased to report we will be in the black!

ASV Monthly Meeting 10th March 2010: Illustrated talk by Jim Howson:

Another enjoyable, relaxing evening in good company. Jim Howson kindly came from Geelong to tell us about his journey in sculpture.

Jim comes from an artistic family of potters and painters but did not initially pursue a career in art and instead chose farming as his career as he was attracted to the outback. He left school and went to Western Australia where he worked with the aborigines on a station then worked on sheep and cattle stations in NSW and SA. Eventually returning to Victoria where he managed a farm for 10 years on behalf of a Melbourne business man.
During that time his passion for art, became quite prominent. He turned his skills to making fine furniture but found his real passion was sculpture. A welder by trade, steel was the perfect medium. It was difficult to focus on his art and farming at the same time and so it was a very easy decision to retire from farming to consolidate his desire to sculpt. He then moved to Geelong with his wife to be and has never looked back.
As he began his art journey, Jim has created a style that represents a unique blend of three dimensional and skeletal appearance that draws out the essential qualities of steel producing an effect of changeable rhythms and free movement which is reinforced from different viewpoints.

He makes maquettes with 10mm square bar and then makes them to scale. Any components that he is unable to make, he gets made externally. Last year Jim’s work was quite large using large pipe work as a focal work, with flowing coils wrapped around to give a sense of movement. Jim is now experimenting with smaller pieces and has most recently completed a Seed Pod series.

Entering sculpture prizes has proved a great experience and learning for Jim and it was when he was participating at Wangaratta Current Sculpture Prize, that he met John Wooller who introduced him to the Association of Sculptors. This has been an advantage to both Jim and the Association as it has given him a different perspective on sculpture, seen a variety of work and met other artists. He has won prizes and sold several pieces. We as an association have enjoyed his presence and his work and thank him for talking to us about his journey.

Sculpture out of the 2009 Bushfires:

Email from Judy Newman 30 March 2010:
Ian Nicholls recently presented the Ahern Family with a sculpture on the anniversary of Black Saturday. It is interesting to see what he did with the tools found in the burnt out old property after the Black Saturday fires at Steeles Creek.
Frank Ahern, a friend of Ian's for over forty years, lost his brother and sister in law in the Black Saturday fires. Ian visited the property with Frank after the fires. Amongst the ashes in Leigh's burnt down shed, Ian collected a few burnt and blackened tools. This gave Ian the inspiration to make his first sculpture. With a bit of guidance from ASV member Judy Newman, Ian created a Cockatoo from a block of Limestone and some of the burnt tools. Ian enjoyed making the sculpture and has enrolled at Bulleen Art & Garden to do the sculpture workshop run by ASV member Jenny Whiteside. We look forward to seeing more sculpture from Ian in the future. Ian was incidentally brother in law of the late Bob Grant.

Artists Resale Royalty Roll-Out Welcomed: NAVA Media Release 7 April 2010 The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) welcomed the announcement today by Federal Arts Minister Peter Garrett, that the visual artists resale royalty scheme will be fully operational by mid-year to be managed by the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL). When the Act was passed in December 2009, the scheme would deliver five per cent of the sale price when art works are resold through the art market for $1000 or more with no upper limit, and would apply not only to living artists but also for their beneficiaries up to 70 years after the artist’s death. From early June 2010, artworks which are first acquired and then resold will have the resale royalty applied to them.

“Style vs. Content in art" (March 2010 Newsletter) Comment 1

Michael Meszaros has produced a thoughtful and contentious piece in “Style vs. Content in art," but I question whether his concerns are echoed by all the members of the ASV. He must be congratulated on the fact that he has been kept busy with commissions for his work for the last forty years from individuals who know what they're getting. Given that he has hit on a winning formula the best thing to do is to stay with it, obviously, while the rest of us proceed in a less deterministic or proscribed fashion. Personally, I don't think that it is evident that many of us are subject to the whims of fashion in art. A lot of us would be hard put to identify fads or fashions in the world of sculpture, surely. I can't see that Michael has elucidated what these fashions are and, for the life of me, I'm unable to see how his reference to the world of hemlines and skirts is relevant. We all, as sentient, empathetic human beings, register what goes on around us. We most likely know about the
work of Moore, Hepworth, and Bourgeoise and so on. Inevitably our work will be pastiche- but GOOD pastiche, and elements of the work of others will be bound to shine through. I don't have to make a living from my work, and that liberates me to do what I want to do and truly follow my muse. Others find disparate elements such as folk art, the work of the Bauhaus and Lutyens in my works but none of these are fashionable and none dictate to me. When I'm in my studio I follow the flow of the work as it comes from my hands and my tools. Fashions, fads and fancies- none of these could be further from my mind and I don't think that I'm alone in entering into this spirit.

Jan Indrans. 25 April 2010.

“Style vs. Content in art" (March 2010 Newsletter) Comment 2.

Concerning Michael’s musings on what is important in art (“Style vs. Content in Art”) in the last newsletter, I would like to mention an observation about art made in a book called “The Spirit Level” by Wilkinson & Pickett. The authors present objective research evidence that a significant number of measures of economic welfare are related to the degree of inequality in society. They show that health, violence, mental illness, teen pregnancies, life spans, obesity, etc, are correlated with a scale of income inequality, measured using official data, both internationally and between states of the USA. They further consider the motivational factors that may influence these correlations, and observe that social inequalities create considerable stress on those at the bottom end of the social hierarchy. The authors quote from much other research, including Bourdieau who wrote on restrictions to social mobility. Bourdieu maintained social discrimination was practised by the elite, to mark their distinguished status, and one form of such discrimination was in art. “The upper classes preferred abstract art and experimental novels, while the lower classes liked representational pictures and a good plot” (Wilkinson & Pickett, page 164). I wonder how many of us would agree with this observation, from our own experiences.

Website enquiry from John French landscape design, 30 April 2010
I have a client in an apartment complex. The complex is over 4 levels, and the missing palm tree in the garden has left quite an empty space. It was quite a poor piece of landscaping, and over time, the palm tree and plants perished, and the bark garden area became quite unattractive.
I have suggested a sculpture or water feature (probably in the $5000-$10000 cost bracket). I don’t want anything too formal but it needs to be a wow. I would have thought something around 2 meters high would be an appropriate scale.
Can you forward this on to your members & they may have something that would suit.
If I can get your email or members that are interested I will email you
My best regards John French frenchs@netspace.net.au

Website enquiry for sculpture project at Box Hill School 21 April 2010
We are looking for a sculptor to restore a large outdoor sculpture of a Wyvern, the school emblem at Kingswood College in Box Hill, Victoria.
The sculpture was crafted 20 years ago. The sculptor who originally created the piece now lives in Northern Territory and is unable to assist but can provide any information we need on how it went together.
Are you able to recommend a sculptor who we can commission to perform the restoration works? If you need further details before replying, please let me know. If you can give me an email address I can send through some photos.
Thanks for your help!
