Artists hatch their visions

Michelle Vine, AffirmationTub, 2018-2019

THE work of 24 recent vi-sual arts graduates fromevery Australian state andterritory will be presentedacross all of PICA’s galleryspaces from May 2 to July5 as part of the 29thHatched: National Gradu-ate Show.

Tertiary art schoolsacross Australia nominatedarts graduates for the show,with the final selectionmade by a panel of artistsand arts professionals fromaround Australia.

This year’s panel in-cluded artist NathanBeard, National Gallery ofVictoria Indigenous artcurator Hannah Presley,and Megan Monte, direc-tor of Cement Fondu inSydney.

“The most rewardingtakeaway from the selec-tion process for Hatched2020 was seeing how manyartists are emerging fromtheir institutions withuniquely engaged andthoughtful perspectivessurrounding an overlap-ping variety of timelythemes,” Beard said.

Works on display inthis year’s Hatched featurea broad range of contempo-rary practice, including in-stallations, audio/soundworks, photography, sculp-ture, jewellery, ceramics,textiles and graffiti.

Many of the worksshare ideas around socialconstructs, individual iden-tity and cultural heritage.

An artist featured inHatched will be invited totake up a residency in part-nership with North Metro-politan Tafe to build con-

nections between interstateand Perth-based artists.

The winner of the$50,000 Schenberg Art Fel-lowship will be announcedon opening night, whichwill be a free event withlive entertainment and anoutdoor bar.

PICA director Amy Bar-rett-Lennard said Hatchedwas a significant way PICAcould support emergingAustralian artists.

“Hatched frequentlyprovides artists with theirfirst opportunity to presentwork within a supportive

and professional publicgallery environment, aswell as providing an in-stant network of peersacross the country,” shesaid.

“The impact of these ex-periences cannot be under-estimated.”

OPENINGSOON

CONCRETE works will

feature in an exhibition

opening next month at

Holmes a Court Gallery

@ no. 10 in West Perth.

Concrete Expanded con-

siders the effects of

colour, design, pattern

and shape through works

of geometric abstraction.

It suggests an expansion

of the genre of concrete

art that initially had a

vibrant local explosion

on the streets of Freman-

tle in the early 2000s.

Large-scale, hard edged,

minimal, abstract and

pure colour paintings are

joined by three-dimen-

sional wall-works, actual

concrete sculptures and

light sculptures.

Artists on show include

Consuelo Cavaniglia,

Jennifer Cochrane,

Janenne Eaton, Robert

Hunter, Brian McKay,

Trevor Richards, Dou-

glas Sheerer, Helen

Smith, Trevor Vickers

and Josh Webb.

The exhibition will have

works from the Janet

Holmes a Court Collec-

tion and some works will

be available for pur-

chase.

The exhibition will be

opened by Janet Holmes

a Court on April 3 and

close on May 9.

The gallery is on Douglas

Street, West Perth, and
