20 years of exhibitions at UTS Gallery

In 2015, as UTS continued to establish its global reputation as a leader in innovative education, UTS ART made a valuable contribution as the cultural heart of the university community. In the changing spaces of our campus, UTS ART continues to enrich the learning experience by showcasing artistic practice that challenges, engages and inspires. In 2015 we celebrated the 20th anniversary of UTS Gallery with an exhibition program that supported over 60 artists, curators and designers; launched inspiring and inclusive education strategies; and enhanced understanding of the UTS ART Collection via new displays and interactive programs.

To begin a year characterised by collaboration and inclusion, we launched a new instalment of the Mining the Collection series. Indigenous Art from the UTS Art Collection (27 January – 20 March, Tower foyer) was complemented by guided tours

YEAR IN REVIEW

by Collection, Gallery and Education staff, as well as the release of new online educational resources on Collection artists.

Our Education and Outreach activities continued in 2015 with the support of Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning. Initially established in 2012 with Australian Government support to build aspiration for disadvantaged school students from the wider Sydney region, the program has grown into an integral part of the broader UTS tertiary setting. In 2015, over 250 students participated in the program, and in October we established a new strategic initiative to bring new audiences to the program. The Art of Storytelling (20 October – 6 November, UTS Gallery) was an education workshop program that encouraged audiences and participants to share their stories in response to works from UTS Art Collection. Artist-run workshops by artist Adam Hill aka Blak Douglas, writer Anita Heiss and designer Daniele Hromek presented storytelling from an Indigenous perspective and encouraged a diversity of voices to emerge.

In November we launched a major new collection display in the FEIT building, After da Vinci. This display showcases a unique collection of engineering models based on drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci, on long-term loan from IBM. With exhibition design by Banyaan Wood, the display draws links from the pioneering work of the Renaissance artist and research taking place today.

The UTS Gallery exhibition program supported the creative practice of more than sixty talented and innovative artists in 2015, complemented by a public program that included floor talks, lectures, panel discussions, workshops and performances. An estimated 14,000 gallery visitors enjoyed the 2015 program.

In March, DAB lecturer Técha Noble developed bold new digital media artworks for Crystal Romeo, presented as part of Art Month Sydney and as a companion to her commission for Day For Night at Performance Space.

In April, UTS Gallery presented Group Exchange: 2nd Tamworth Textile Triennial, curated by UTS academic and artist Cecilia Heffer. Centred on the theme of ‘collaboration’, the 22 Australian artists approached textiles from innovative perspectives. The exhibition was accompanied by a symposium hosted by the DAB Faculty. UTS Ensemble in Residence Australian Piano Quartet were commissioned to perform a new composition for the launch,

playing a unique instrument by artist Anita Larkin.

May saw the launch of Colour on the Concrete, an exhibition exploring approaches to colour and abstraction within the UTS Art Collection. Curated by Janet Ollevou, this project extended beyond gallery walls to works displayed on campus, drawing attention to the fascinating history of the university and its unique holdings. The exhibition was complemented by an interactive project website that encouraged audiences to take a walking tour and discover the works for themselves.

Adam Norton’s immersive installation My Trip to Mars was a highlight in August,

capturing the imaginations of visitors. The exhibition was presented as part of National Science Week and Sydney Science Festival, and in the midst of new speculation of signs of life on the red planet. A multi-disciplinary panel of scientists and academics debating the possibility of Martian occupation was a popular public program.

In September the Gallery presented Speech Acts, featuring internationally renowned artists Richard Grayson and Matt Mullican. Curated by artist and critic Dr Wes Hill, the exhibition contrasted their investigations into complex concepts of communication and personal/political identity. The exhibition was accompanied by performances by Matt Mullican presented by associate program partners, National Art School and Artspace Sydney.

Art has the power to connect people in varied ways. We were thrilled to collaborate with new partners in 2015, including the National Art School, Artspace Sydney, The Mars Society, Southern Cross and Australian Catholic Universities, AGNSW and MAAM amongst others. UTS ART continues to build and consolidate social engagement and media reach. In 2015 our coverage included The Art Life, Art Collector, Daily Telegraph, ABC Weekend Breakfast and Radio National.

UTS ART remains committed to sustainability. In 2015 new measures undertaken included an upgrade of gallery lighting from halogen and incandescent to new energy efficient LED lighting and in the process not only improving quality, control and reliability – we’re now using 85% less energy.

The UTS ART team has been inspired by the redesign of UTS spaces and anticipates collaborating with cross-disciplinary colleagues on new initiatives such as social enterprise design and maker spaces. As UTS

evolves UTS ART will remain a vital forum for scholarship, the exchange of ideas and to encourage flexible and critical creative thinking.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThank you to the many artists, guest curators, lenders, visitors and partners as well as the vibrant UTS community who were involved in our program and who enable us to build vital contemporary art programs.

Along with continuing AAC member Jacqui Gothe I would like to thank Mark Lillis, Deputy Director MCU, and Anne Dwyer and Patrick Woods of the UTS Senior Executive for their ongoing support. I commend the UTS ART team on their dedication and professionalism in making 2015 a successful year: Eleanor Zeichner (Assistant Curator, Gallery), Janet Ollevou (Assistant Curator, Collection) Alice McAuliffe & Cara Macleod (Education and Outreach Co-ordinators) with support from Felicity Sheehan and Anita Marosszeky.

We are very grateful to Patrick Corrigan, whose commitment and contributions to the Art Collection are much enjoyed at UTS. We welcome Pedro De Almeida, Program Manager of 4A Gallery, who joined the Exhibitions subcommittee.

Finally, I would like to express my deep appreciation to Luca Belgiorno-Nettis, who has stepped down as Art Advisory Committee Chair, for his outstanding commitment, leadership and unwavering support over ten years, along with his equally long-serving right hand man on the AAC, Chris Johnson. Enduring thanks to both for the time and insight provided.

UTS GALLERY IN 2015

Crystal Romeo 10 March - 2 April

Comprising video, performance documentation, printmaking and costume, Crystal Romeo explored the construction of identity and the legacy of Symbolism in the technology age.

Artist Técha Noble re-examined the colourful and debated legacy of Australian artist Norman Lindsay as a lens to explore themes of decorative typology, animism, puppetry and queer aesthetics. She located a high camp aesthetic in Lindsay’s oeuvre, using it to enhance her own vision of landscape and body, imbuing both with an unabashedly decorative and playful quality.

Group Exchange: 2nd Tamworth Textile Triennial14th April – 15th May

Group Exchange: 2nd Tamworth Textile Triennial was a touring exhibition organised by the Tamworth Regional Gallery and curated by Cecilia Heffer, Senior Lecturer and Course Director of Fashion and Textiles in the School of Design at the University of Technology Sydney.

Bringing together the work of 22 textiles artists from around Australia, Group Exchange celebrated collaboration and experimentation, examining the creative outcomes of shared knowledge. Each artist has provided unique insights through their rich and diverse experience and introduced us to new original ways of viewing practice.

Colour on the Concrete26 May – 26 June

Curated by Janet Ollevou, Colour on the Concrete brought together major works from the UTS Art Collection and a rare first edition copy of Josef Albers’ ‘Interaction of Color’ in an exhibition and interactive Art Walk on campus.

The exhibition explored different approaches and uses of colour and abstraction linking art, design and architecture from the late 1960s to contemporary art practice. It featured works by such artists as Marion Borgelt, Ken Unsworth, Michael Johnson and Victor Vasarely alongside recent acquisitions and loans to the Collection. Presented across campus at UTS Gallery, UTS Library and in public areas of Building 8, 11, 4 and 1.

My Trip To Mars28 July – 28 August

Adam Norton’s fascination with space travel and the effects of technology on the human condition were explored in this mid-career survey. My Trip to Mars transformed the gallery into a fanciful replica of the Martian surface populated by the artist’s speculative artifacts, from space suits and flags to a full-scale dwelling designed for short-term habitation on our planet’s nearest neighbour. The speculative drive of science fiction was combined with the artistic impulse of experimentation in this exhibition that invited the viewer to be the explorer.

Extremely interesting and captivating glimpse into a world of discovery. Love it! – Visitor comment, My Trip to Mars

Speech Acts8 September – 9 October

Speech Acts showcased work by the American artist Matt Mullican and the British-Australian artist Richard Grayson, whose practices explore systems of knowledge and the performative aspects of language. Mullican, who is connected to the early-1980s ‘Pictures Generation’ of American artists, is seemingly obsessed with the space between thought and communication, and between conscious and unconscious experience. In contrast, Grayson is concerned with how language, and narrative in particular, can be used to make sense of the world around us, revealing the political implications that underlie even the most innocuous of activities.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH IN 2015 EDUCATION & OUTREACH

IN 2015

In 2015, UTS ART Education and Outreach continued with ongoing support from UTS following two years of the government funding as part of the Widening Participation Strategy. This has enabled strong student participation in our programs and sustained the relationships with Low Socio Economic Status (LSES) schools who had participated in gallery visits and teacher consultation activities in prior years.

UTS ART Education and Outreach also benefited from funding from UTS Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning to continue to provide accessible and tailored gallery tours, art workshops and Education resources for diverse audiences and sustain key goals.

We achieved a number of outcomes in 2015: creating positive links between UTS ART and UTS with diverse audiences, including schools, local communities and UTS staff and students; increasing respect, knowledge and appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures; and encouraging aspiration to tertiary education at UTS in our audiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants.

School visits to the galleryPre-school, primary and secondary school groups participated in a range of gallery tours, artist talks and hands-on workshops throughout the year. Nearly 200 students participated in gallery tours and workshops with artists, 11 of these students identified as Aboriginal or Torres

Strait Islander. UTS ART Education programs connected with four exhibitions and projects throughout the year, including Mining the Collection: Indigenous Art from the UTS Collection, Crystal Romeo, Group Exchange: 2nd Tamworth Textile Triennial and My Trip to Mars.

Facilitators utilised key works on display to engage students in close looking, and thinking about art and to explore artist practices through creative learning strategies including drawing, writing, music, storytelling and body movement. Programs were developed in consultation with teachers and participating artists to ensure activities were tailored to the needs of participants, linked to school programs and syllibi, and made meaningful connections to artists’ practices.

Making creative connections with UTS staff and studentsUTS Faculty of Health, Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building, and UTS Insearch all engaged with UTS ART exhibitions and the UTS Art Collection throughout the year, making creative connections with their course work and learning objectives. UTS ART Gallery hosted a range of talks, tours and events and supported over 100 visiting staff and students to plan and deliver these programs. UTS Gallery participated in UTS Open Day and staff welcomed over 400 students on the day.

Engaging with Indigenous art from UTS Art CollectionA selection of Indigenous works from the UTS Collection were on display in the Tower building in 2015. This selection was used as the basis for tours throughout the year, and helped us to build upon ties with existing audiences, including UTS

Insearch, and fostering relationships with students and teachers keen to engage with Indigenous cultures and histories through art.

We extended the successful engagement with Indigenous art and artists in Term 4 with The Art of Storytelling, developed in consultation with Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning, Sydney Story Factory and Indigenous artists, designers and writers.

Secondary and primary students participated in three hands on interdisciplinary workshops exploring the idea of storytelling and creating artworks and stories in response. The workshop artists shared foundational Aboriginal

cultural knowledge including language and their personal insights and perspectives on contemporary Aboriginal art, cultures and histories. Students explored artworks in the gallery as part of each workshop providing another way for individuals to make personal connections to Aboriginal cultures and histories through art. Their experience of contemporary art and understanding of artist practices was extended with artist talks and presentations.

Aboriginal students from The Chapel School, Youth Off The Streets, made drawings in response to a didgeridoo performance and paintings by Blak Douglas; Year 12 Kirrawee High School students explored sensory mapping and

ways to map movement, energy, people and place with Daniele Hromek and investigated artworks in the Collection with Cara MacLeod; Darlington Public School Year 6 students learnt new creative writing strategies, developed imaginative characters based on artworks in the UTS Art Collection and objects and wrote short stories on their own special places with Anita Heiss.

Education ResourcesAnother highlight of 2015 was the development of online content and Education resources that that are accessible, easily searchable and relevant to syllabus priorities identified in teacher consultation in 2012. UTS ART Education resources support students and teachers

to research and respond to artists and artworks in the UTS Art Collection and selected exhibitions and to encourage critical and creative thinking in suggested activities.

Techa Noble’s interdisciplinary practice was unpacked in a set of resources to complement the exhibition Crystal Romeo in Term 2. Online resources for the UTS Art Collection were enriched with the extensive resource on Michael Riley’s cloud series published in Term 3. Available in a readable online format as well as a downloadable PDF, it contains artists quotes, video content, links for further research and good quality images, and was highlighted in The Art of Storytelling.

2015 was an exemplary year for circulation and exhibition of the UTS Art Collection, with several major installations within new Campus Masterplan developments and stand-alone curated displays within the Gallery and Education & Outreach programs.

Bookending the year were two displays selected and presented in collaboration with the UTS ART Education & Outreach coordinators to develop education resources around collection artworks, including important works on loan from the Pat Corrigan Collection. In January, indigenous art from the collection was showcased in the Tower foyer exhibition space as a part of our ongoing Mining the Collection series. At the end of the year a second selection from the Collection was installed in the UTS Gallery to support workshops for The Art of Storytelling.

The UTS City Masterplan remains a guiding factor in the circulation of the collection, as new buildings and refurbishments continued through 2015. At the start of the year, artworks were placed in the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building, selected to complement the extraordinary design by Frank Gehry.

In June, Colour on the Concrete provided a rare insight into one of the UTS Art Collection’s strengths, with installations in UTS Gallery and UTS Library as well as a dedicated website and self guided art walk across campus. This exhibition was a direct outcome of postgraduate research undertaken through the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at UTS. Collection highlights were also featured in Art & U, a regular column in the monthly U: magazine.

Another major installation in 2015 was

UTS ART COLLECTIONIN 2015

After da Vinci, featuring a collection of brass and wood models belonging to IBM that have been in the custody of UTS since the early 1990s. The models were prepared and installed in the FEIT building in November. A hundred potential future engineers were given a behind the scenes ‘sneak peek’ during the UTS Women in Engineering Hands On Day.

The closure of Kuring-gai campus was the final project for 2015, the successful relocation of 70 artworks registered to the UTS Art Collection was undertaken with the cooperation of Faculty and Operational staff. A display from the UTS Art Collection was put in place at Kuring-gai for the Alumni and Staff farewell events in November, and will be followed up by a larger display at the City campus in the new year.

New Acquisitions

Patrick Corrigan generously donated six artworks valued at over $130,000 including a large canvas by Dorothy Napangardi through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts program (CGP).

Three photographs by Pat Brassington were offered as gifts to the Collection by the artist, also through the CGP.

Inward & Outward loans

Inward loans in 2015 comprised 40 photographs and paintings from the collection of Patrick Corrigan.

Ten existing inward loans were completed in 2015, and the artworks returned to their owners. These included seven artworks on loan to UTS since 2010 from the collection of Dr Gene and Brian Sherman, a painting by George Gittoes on long-term loan from

the artist, and two photographs from private collections. Outward loans included two separate exhibition loans for a set of three photographs by Tony Albert to Lake Macquarie Gallery for ‘(in)visible: The First Peoples and War’ and to the Art Gallery of South Australia for TARNATHI, Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art. A painting by Anamari Brown was loaned to Maitland Regional Gallery for the exhibition ‘Power + Colour’. Both of these artworks are on semi-permanent loan to UTS from the Corrigan Collection.

Conservation

Preservation of the Art Collection is an ongoing priority, within a program of preventative maintenance projects of note included acquisition of 16 museum-quality ‘Fini’ exhibition frames to better present works on paper, new mounts and minor frame repairs for several artworks.

As a contemporary art collection, we are often fortunate enough to work directly with the artists to ensure their work is presented in the best possible condition. This was the case when we moved three steel sculptures by Jan King in November.

To ensure our documentation of the Collection remained in order, the ‘Vernon’ database received a major upgrade mid year, and staff received further training in its operation.

Finally, maintenance work was undertaken in the Art Storage room to improve environmental controls.
