Invitation to submit material - Women, Feminism and Art in Australia since 1970

by  • 

Call out for submissions from Australian artists who engage with feminism in their work. Women, Feminism and Art in Australia since 1970 - Invitation to submit material Professor Anne Marsh has commenced work on her Australian Research Council project ‘Women, Feminism and Art in Australia since 1970’. The project will investigate the impact of feminism on contemporary Australian art, revealing the roles and interactions between gender, race, class and ethnicity. It will analyse and interpret the history of feminism in the visual arts during the critical decades since the 1970s, and the impact of feminist thought on the ways in which Australian society views representations of women across cultural differences.

Prize | R & M McGivern Prize 2016 deadline extended to Sunday 26 June 2020

by  • 

The theme is Text, for a painting in acrylic, oil, gouache or watercolour.   Given the rapid developments in the way we communicate, it is timely to consider the role of text in art. Muriel McGivern was both a published author and practicing artist, so it’s apt that the 2016 R & M McGivern Prize should harness the power of the painted word. There is a vast reach throughout history where text is incorporated into painting as an aesthetic component. In contemporary painting, the use of text finds its origins in Pop, Minimal and Conceptual traditions. In painting today, it assumes many forms; as found object, marker, descriptor, defacement or formal surface. About the R & M McGivern Prize The R & M McGivern Prize was established by the will of the late Muriel Evelyn McGivern and is a legacy of…
