"FTW, the title for this preview, is an acronym borrowed from the outsider/criminal community meaning fuck the world. In a nod to the Biennale title and ubiquity of modern photography I like to think it stands for Fotograph The World: a world where there’s gold still to be extracted from subversive fotographic truth."

In Issue 56, Kim Guthrie previewed the Ballarat International Fotobiennale for 2021, which opens later this week. Visit the 🔗 link in our bio to read the article, or subscribe to access the full Issue in which it appears.

"A finalist in the 2021 Cheongju International Cra

"A finalist in the 2021 Cheongju International Craft Competition, Jess Hall is building a practice in the interstices between science and imagination, art and parenthood. Hall defies the categories of art and craft, but her approach to history is more nuanced than simple 'defiance'; instead, she negotiates the sharp edges and the dark spots of the history of textile practice, creating canny, evasive work which both investigates and serves her life as a mother and artist."

Celebrating her exhibition in Korea's Cheongju International Craft Competition, we explore the development of Jess Hall's interdisciplinary practice online tonight, at our website. Visit the 🔗 link in bio to read the full article!

"Mason knows what each person in 'Intimate Encount

"Mason knows what each person in 'Intimate Encounters' is doing now, and about their journey. Her commitment to her collaborators is a promise – always to be available for them. It's an exhausting concept, yet her energy for them is unstoppable."

In Issue 56, now on sale, Kon Gouriotis writes on Belinda Mason's deep commitments to the collaborators who populate her photographs.

"Time is just a material I use and must master, as

'An intense simultaneity – the sense that all of

'An intense simultaneity – the sense that all of the image is happening here and at once – pushes against the narrative gestures that many of the figures who populate these pictures take up. In this physical and imaginative environment, we become immersed totally within the world which at once plays out before us and seems to encapsulate us, positioning the viewer somewhere in the decentralised spatial logic of the images.'

There are a few days left to see Robert Ryan's 'I found an old box of paints' at Anthea Polson Art. Our article on Ryan's new work is now online, at our website – it considers the anecdotal and the affective dimensions of Ryan's work, the inspiration found in his new home in Tasmania, and the poignant story behind the title of his show.

“We’ve been on the run from reality so long it’s stopped looking for us.”

In our current issue, Matthew Cheyne speaks with Louise Martin-Chew about his peripatetic life between Queensland and Europe , his unique drawing method, and his work to “catch that negative space around the idea from a few point of view.” Mick Richards’s photographs take us inside Cheyne’s Ipswich studio, as he was preparing for his show ‘Picnic,’ now showing with Mitchell Fine Art.
