"In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Jelena Telecki

Jelena Telecki’s uncanny and ambiguous images often look at historical and present-day representations of power and power dynamics. Her works trace this interest and stem from her consideration of how women were and are represented in the media, and how these representations inform our self-awareness and the way we negotiate our daily lives and relationships.

“'Attached' is a work that is a delayed response to Terry Woronov’s anthropology lecture on love, money and marriage.

'Rude' is a response to being pressured on behalf of my Serbian family to dye my hair and hide greys. In my country, women who leave their grey hair visible are often perceived as having bad manners and being rude for allowing everyone to see their aging process. There is an expectation from women to be disciplined and well presented – and this excludes having grey hair.

'Suit' (which was commissioned for this exhibition) is a painting based on the images of the 80s women power suits and the use of garments in the working environment as a means of signalling domination and power.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

Open daily 10am-4pm, free admission.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Marikit Santiago

Marikit Santiago’s works are intensely personal and autobiographic. Her hyper-real painting style is often combined with sculpture and installation to create works that reference Catholicism, Renaissance painting and popular culture to comment on her Filipino heritage and her role as a mother and woman artist.

This self portrait of the artist references Beyoncé’s iconic 2017 photograph to announce the birth of her twins in which the singer wore a blue veil to reference the Blessed Virgin, and her pose echoed Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. The juxtaposition of the cyanotype negative and blocked white space against Santiago’s bare skin and the floral background, creates a surreal layering of images.

“The work examines attitudes surrounding colonial mentality and conflicting, simultaneous sensations of vulnerability and empowerment, maternal sacrifice and hedonistic desires, acceptance and rejection. The work speaks of pride in my body for growing and nourishing now three lives.”

See this work, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

Open daily 10am-4pm, free admission.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Julie Rrap

Working across photography, sculpture, performance and video, Julie Rrap has played a seminal role in contemporary feminist art in Australia. Using her own, often naked body, she challenges and reinterprets the representation of the female body. She has commented that her practice has strong synergies with the surrealist movement and those artists’ use of the female form, but in a contemporary context and with a feminist representation of the female body.

In this body of work, aluminium casts of Rrap’s hands appear almost suspended in space, making a series of gestures and actions. Rrap has explained that the titles create a narrative and enable the viewer to imagine the sounds and actions she was performing. “As a group…, these actions become characters in a conversation. These instruments can be performative, musical, surgical, tool-like – they are intended to encourage the audience to participate. Direct silicon casting from my own hands creates a fidelity to detail that renders these objects as uncanny, echoing the Surrealist interest in fragmented human body parts.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

Open daily 10am-4pm, free admission.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Caroline Rothwell

Caroline Rothwell’s multidisciplinary and research driven practice explores the intersection of art and science through sculptures, installations, animations and digital collages that invite viewers to consider our relationship with the natural environment. Part human and part plant, these surreal sculptures in which rib cages morph into botanical forms, comment on the interconnectedness of botanical, human and industrial systems.

Rothwell says, “I'm really interested in messing with aesthetics. So, sort of toxic beauty in a way, and you know, seducing people into looking at the work and then maybe there's a double edge within the work. Over the last few years, my work has looked at the connection between humanity, the botanical, and the industrial. I seem to spend an awful lot of time in plumbing supply stores looking at taps, drains, and ducts, which take on these bodily references. I was very interested in thinking about them as the infrastructure of our urban world; thinking about this unseen territory that runs through the structure of society—all the piping systems for water, gas, data, and so on. I’m interested in those systems being the unseen infrastructure of our spaces.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Patricia Piccinini

Patricia Piccinini’s work encompasses sculpture, photography, video and drawing and her practice examines the increasingly nebulous boundary between the artificial and the natural as it appears in contemporary culture and ideas.

Piccinini says, “These drawings are a series of explorations of ideas and aesthetics that excite me. They are a space in which I can think about Surrealism, for example, which is as central to my broader practice as realism is. These works are emotional, and funny, free and perhaps a bit obsessive. Drawing has always been at the core of my practice and these drawings often become something very fleshy.

For me, hair is one of the great symbols because it is so amorphous and can be so many things at once. It is ambiguous but emotive and beautiful. Hair is living but it is not alive. It is sensuous but it has no feelings. Hair is never fixed, we can transform our hair into whatever we choose but at the same time it will always try to return to a tangle. What we do to our hair expresses both our interiority and our relationship to social pressures. Hair is one of these things that is used to divide us but it is also what unites us with all other mammals.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Jill Orr

Jill Orr’s performance works have delighted, shocked and moved audiences for several decades. Orr was a key figure in the performance art movement of the 1970s and her ongoing practice continues to be hugely influential.

Orr says, “These images are taken from a live performance titled Laundry, created for Temporal Proximities, curated by Kelli Alred. The event was held in the Magdalen Laundries at the Abbottsford Convent in Melbourne. This is a space that has an intense history of women who worked there. Their work and lives are felt through the very bones of the architecture. The performance was a response to the history and the site.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

Open daily 10am-4pm, free admission.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Jenny Orchard

Jenny Orchard is a celebrated artist working across ceramics, painting, drawing and collage. She is well known for her bold figurative hybrid ceramics called Zookiniis or Interbeings, totemic forms and vessels, which she has made since the early 1980s. Her current work is preoccupied with exploring liminal states of being and celebrating the diversity of material form.

Orchard says, “These totemic creatures may appear to spring from the arms of my dreams wholly formed, but there is always a wild dance between the idea, the unconscious desire to bring them into the world, and the possibilities and limitations of the materials used. The serendipitous emergence of their presence and identity is always a surprise to me. Once completed they invade my consciousness with their narrative, their stories have a unifying grounding in their inbetweenness, the sharing of substance and identity. They are all the same matter of the world. They (and we) are the remains of everything; the prehistoric longings, the inconceivable destinies, our consciousness coincides virtually with everything in the world. I want them to ask that question ‘who are we?’”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

Until 22 August

The Broad Collective is a group of female artists including Belinda Allen, Lee Bethel, Elizabeth Borghero, Sonja Karl, Sam Newstead, Leanne Thompson and Kerry Toomey, who are all long-standing residents of Bundeena. Their works are informed by ideas of belonging in nature, of environmental protection and of our place in the broader context of landscape and environment.

For this project the artists reflect on the experience of a studio residency that saw them exchange Sydney coastal nature for the bush environment of the Stuart Town area.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Lucy O'Doherty

Working with paint or soft pastels, Lucy O'Doherty take viewers on a dream like journey through nostalgic landscapes and interiors. Devoid of figures, the works have a psychologically unsettling quality, the only hints of human interactions a flashing light on a phone indicating a message, a drawer slightly ajar or a pair of shoes.

O’Doherty says, “For Think Pynk I was thinking about the history of the colour pink and how it’s currently at peak popularity within popular culture, but also the difference in attitude towards hyper-femininity in popular culture and feminism from the 1970s to now.

With The first room the restaurant experience is a metaphor for being in the womb, which is the first ‘room’ we all inhabit, and comments on how the womb (like a restaurant) is treated like a public space with many people and governing bodies feeling entitled to an opinion on what should happen inside the womb.

Empty pool, erupting volcano and looming clam shell is an expression of my personal dreamscape, populated by an empty pool and an erupting volcano symbolising male and female genitalia and my anxiety over whether I’ll have children, as well as the strange position women are in today where we are still encouraged to fulfil the traditional gender role of becoming a mother while also grappling with the uncertainty of a warming earth and increasingly frequent natural disasters.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Honey Long & Prue Stent

Honey Long & Prue Stent’s practice is grounded in experimentation between bodies, materials and environments. Informed by processes of foraging and chance encounters, often cultural debris will become reconfigured within fluid and dreamy contexts, triggering subconscious associations while also aiming to avoid classification.

Long & Stent say, “In these works from the Phanta Firma series, we have appropriated signs, tropes, and motifs of women from contemporary culture and the canon of art history as an erotic lure that guides the viewer into unfamiliar territory. In these works we have carefully composed our own bodies, and those of friends, according to the traditions of Classical aesthetics. Embodying Botticelliean nymphs and Venuses, Classical sculptures, and sirens draped in material that clings to the female form or billows in a seductive Monroesque fashion, their gaze never confronts the viewer.”

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Juz Kitson

Juz Kitson’s works are resplendent and dense. Complex and often large scale, they are exquisite musings on nature’s cycles of metamorphosis, decay, beauty and abundance. Kitson has mastered the use of porcelain and other clay bodies through intricate hand-building and slip casting to create unsettling evocative morphologies.

Kitson says, “This work reflects on the opposing themes of vulnerability and strength, and an undeniable tension after raging wildfires devastated the south coast of Australia and the landscape around my home and studio. It captures the beauty of the dark trees vitrified by fire, despite the charred remains that lay like ruins. It is this form that rises with vigour and reminds us all of the sheer forceful resilience of nature. A sense of intimacy and vastness is captured as the porcelain elements fold along the body, appearing to bristle as if in fight or flight, prompting the audience to acknowledge the entanglements between humans and nature.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Madeleine Kelly

Madeleine Kelly’s work engages with human encounters with nature and elemental forces. Bringing together figuration and abstraction, her practice is a mixture of the cosmic and the material that explores the many points of contact between people, animals and plants.

Kelly says, “In Earth drill, Chthonic birds float around the drill's spiral. Their elongated tongues reach out to forms akin to the neural synapses of the mind, where branched forms metaphorically float around in watery heads. The painting might be considered an oily network of memory. A bird's branched tongue could exemplify the brain inside out, a treelet waiting to reanimate form or pollinate transmitters of meaning. A mould for industrial manufacturing doubles as the sun while other moulds spin out in the underworld.

Mnemosyne carries all the weight of our collective unconscious embedded in our desire to find/understand the shape of things. Spirals have a double movement that opens outward or draws back, a twofold rhythm of liveliness and creation, and withdrawal and entropy. This inward outward motion is a pattern recording the material life of time. The figure in the background is appropriated from 15th century work ‘Burial of the Wood’ by Piero della Francesca.”

In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal | Deborah Kelly

Using images painstakingly cut from old magazines and abandoned encyclopaedias Deborah Kelly creates collages of hybrid figures that recall the work of Hannah Hoche and Dada artists of the early 20th century. The resulting works are a celebration of diversity – an uncanny fusion of bodies, animals and insects presented as static collages or a hyper-kaleidoscope of frenetically dancing creatures.

Kelly says, “These three recent collage works continue my life-long preoccupation with representations and mythologies of 'The Feminine' vs lived experience of consciousness in a body assigned female. They prod at and play with femme archetypes – the wasp waist, the queen bee, the ageing beauty – and conjure their shadows: desire and death.”

“The Gods of Tiny Things is an experimental collaborative animation considering life in peril. At collage camp at Bundanon in beautiful Yuin Country we dreamt up personifications of our fears, our impossible appetites. Over an intense week of study and practice, we conjured figures and landscapes as heralds of grief and warning. The Gods of Tiny Things thinks about the current array of threats to life; the tolls of colonialism, climate catastrophe, human profligacy; and conversely the dynamic, kaleidoscopic pleasures of life itself, in all its teeming, prancing, clamouring fertility. We are dancing at the end of time.”

See these works, along with works by 21 other leading female Australian artists in “In the Arms of Unconsciousness: Women, Feminism and the Surreal” until Sunday 3 September.

In partnership with Westfield Miranda, we are excited to bring you, Down the Rabbit Hole, an installation by local artist, Bec Litvan. This immersive experience utilises a kitsch and punk-luxe aesthetic, taking an experimental approach in presenting cancer as a bodily glitch, while critiquing what the artists Soviet cultural heritage. Vibrant visuals are used to impose a sense of playfulness and opulence, to camouflage the reality of cancer. Down the Rabbit Hole is open Thursday to Sunday each week from 5pm to 9pm on Level 3 until Sunday 31 July and is part of Westfield Miranda’s Festival of Lights.

Caroline Rothwell’s practice explores the intersection of art and science through sculpture, collaged historical prints and digital animations that invite viewers to consider our relationship with the natural environment. The title of her current exhibition, which was commissioned for Hazelhurst Arts Centre, comes from the idea of looking to the horizon – looking out from an immediate frame of reference to the infinite and considering future possibilities. Exhibition open 10am – 4pm daily until 28 November 2021 #hazelhurstartscentre #hazelhurstregionalgallery #hazelhurstgallery #carolinerothwell #carolinerothwellhorizon

Christopher Langton is known for his sculptures and large inflatables that explore themes around pop culture, video gaming and science fiction. His exhibition Colonies, which was commissioned for Hazelhurst Arts Centre, is an immersive installation which explores ideas of space colonisation and organisms such as bacteria occupying hosts while considering issues around our shared ecology. With obvious reference to science fiction and biology, the gallery is filled with asteroids, meteorites and other celestial bodies along with real and imagined organisms in the shape of viruses, bacteria and fungi. Exhibition open 10am - 4pm daily till 28 November 2021.
