Small sculptures have lived with us for millennia

Small sculptures have lived with us for millennia as tokens of devotion, of attachment, of faith, and of quite everyday, domestic activity. Now in its twenty-first iteration, the Defiance Gallery '6x6x6 inch Miniature Sculpture Show' incorporates over 150 works of sculpture at the modest scale its title suggests, spanning subjects and purposes both timeless and uniquely contemporary. We consider the place of the miniature in our private and collective lived this evening, on our website.

Reviewing 'The National 2021: New Australian Art'

Reviewing 'The National 2021: New Australian Art' in our current issue, Courtney Kidd finds that 'this large-scale survey takes time for the viewer to connect with all on offer across its three venues, but it is worth every moment of looking: looking to see what it does ultimately mean to be Australian in 2021, and looking to understand what nationhood might mean even if it is uncertain, and diffused by shared stories competing in a vast cultural well.' With Sydney locked down, viewers are, of course, unable to physically enter the show's three venues. Tonight, we offer Kidd's essay online, at our website, so that an analytical 'view,' of sorts, might be afforded instead.

'Poulet’s suite of recent paintings develop the balancing game he has been playing throughout his career between abstraction and representation – especially, representation of the natural and built environment. There are visual parallels, certainly between Poulet’s work and early twentieth-century Constructivist paintings: shared interests in shapes and the changes they wring upon each other, in primary colour, and in the energetic potential of line. There are also in these new paintings, more than ever, moments where the natural world seems to seep though, pulling the work out of ‘pure’ abstraction' - on the website this evening, we delve into Peter Poulet's most recent body of work, currently exhibiting online with Rogue Pop-up Gallery.

‘A lot of the work is in the preparation; the painting is quite fast in comparison. I go out into nature and take photographs and produce smaller colour studies, often in the early morning light’ - Clifford How on conversation with Pippa Mott, on the website tonight to celebrate the opening of his new show with Arthouse Gallery. How’s work, so deeply engaged with the outdoors, is available online with Arthouse during Sydney’s lockdown.
