The revolution is us

- Full Text: false
- Description: 25th-16th November 2019, Post Office Gallery, Federation University, Ballarat. ‘The Revolution is Us’ (La rivoluzione siamo Noi) showcases select films, works on paper and sculptures by internationally acclaimed German artist Joseph Beuys (1921 – 1986), one of the most influential Conceptual and performance artists of the second half of the 20th century. Known for his highly original and controversial ideas, themes and practices, including large editions of the same or similar works in “Multiples”, Beuys attempted to make art more democratic, collapsing the space between life and art through public discourse, performance and actions, believing “…everyone is an artist”. A sculptor, performance artist, printmaker, political activist, and teacher, Beuys was also an important contributor to the avant-garde FLUXUS movement alongside George Maciunas, John Cage, Alison Knowles, Nam June Paik and Yoko Ono, among others. Beuys championed the possibilities of artistic creation to enact positive social and political change and activate the intellectual and creative capacity in all of us. Through his notion of “social sculpture”, Beuys believed in the power of art to be able to activate and transform society. His “Multiples”, series were created in opposition to market forces and in response to making art accessible to all. As a teacher Beuys touched many and continues to do so today. Studying at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1947, Beuys was appointed professor of monumental sculpture at the Akademie in 1961 but was dismissed in 1972 after accepting students who had been previously rejected. Major works include How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare (1965), I Like America and America Likes Me (1974), 7000 Oak Trees (1982). Joseph Beuys’s work is held in collections worldwide including the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Tate, London; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, and the Kunstmuseum Basel.

Traces of the female self
- Authors: Janetzki, Georgia
- Date: 2019
- Type: Text , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: 22nd November-7th December 2019, Post Office Gallery, Federation University Australia, Ballarat. In Georgia Janetzki's research she explores how self-portraiture can be an embodied methodology and starting point for an investigation that goes beyond oneself: her experimental self-portraiture addressing the personal and by doing so, incorporating a wider community of female artists. Examining how women have always been present as artists but omitted from the canon of Western art history, Janetzki investigates this disconnect and at the same time poses the question, why is the canon also nothing like us. To assist her research, working as a modern-day flaneuse, Janetzki walked through art galleries and museums, observing the gender balance within our public institutions, travelling between home and university using the train as a studio for making images as well as provide safe passage. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Masters research project at the School of Arts, Federation University Australia. Georgia Janetzki is supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Fee-Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.

To Wandiligong : A visual journey through memory, time, space, light, landscape and fourteen layers of glass
- Authors: Murray, Lauren
- Date: 2020
- Type: Text , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: Images recording travel have been part of numerous cultural traditions enabling extraordinary discoveries and providing historical documents of great beauty used for millennia across many cultures. Lauren Murray’s work and research explores a visual journey within an observed environment through "fourteen layers of glass" that includes the car window, the lens of the camera, the lens of her glasses and the surface of her iPad - the nature of light, time and distance and ongoing changes to the climate of particular interest to her. Utilising photography, drawing, digital and analogue media, Murray presents 16 digitally augmented photographs and a 9.6 metre story map - beautiful yet uncannily prescient images and visual narratives of place, time and season. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Masters research project at the School of Arts, Federation University, Australia. Lauren Murray is supported by an Australian Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.
