Lippard states that ‘Artists can be very good at exposing the layers of emotional and aesthetic resonance in our relationships to place.’ (Lippard 1997:286) She also defines an ‘ethic’ for ‘art governed by place’ which includes the expectation, amongst others, that the work should be, ‘Provocative and Critical enough to make people think about the issues beyond the scope of the work, to call into question superficial assumptions about place, its history and its use.’ (Lippard 1997:287) An exhibition at the Bungil Gallery in Roma, Shoot Straight You Bastards, by artists who collectively call themselves, the 6 artists from out of nowhere, creates a powerful document about relationships to place which are, as Lippard demands, ‘provocative and critical enough to make people think.’ These artists are from the Bowen Basin area around Central Southern Queensland that is currently the centre of a mining boom driven by the world’s need for cheap energy and the mining and government push for profits to bolster shareholder’s returns and to reduce budget deficits. While it may seem perfectly logical to develop a resource and capitalise upon it, there are many who oppose it. Principally the negatives are about the transformative effect on the communities where the development is taking place, the threat to the farming and grazing productivity of the land, and the potential long term risk to the quality of underground water that so much of this land depends upon to be viable. The six artists are, Sandra Allen, Anne Cameron, Elizabeth Corfe, Barbara Hancock, Helen and Wally Peart. They have been involved with the land, and the lifestyle that accompanies it, all their lives. For them their artwork is something that ‘fits in’ between all the other things that living and working on the land demands. The artist’s bios make reference to the challenges of making art on a working farming property. From Anne Cameron’s statement, As with all women on the land, her artistic aspirations had to be subjugated to the needs of the property and the family, Barbara Hancock, ... the urge to paint often saw her running from paint brush to breast feeding the latest baby, and Elizabeth Corfe’s, life has been shetime immersed in the highs and lows of making a living off the land. https://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/video-watchingtrag.jpgPatron watching the video @ 'Jenny Sages: Paths to Portraiture'Patron watching the video @ 'Jenny Sages: Paths to Portraiture'2013-03-17T10:41:53+00:00monthlyhttps://regionalartspractice.com/about/2013-03-14T08:25:39+00:00weekly0.6https://regionalartspractice.com/2013/03/11/ants-in-the-studio/https://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/supermarket-shelves-1981.jpgNo Antrid - Supermarket shelvesNo Antrid - Supermarket shelveshttps://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/i_hate_killn_ants1592.jpgI hate killing these little crittersI hate killing these little crittershttps://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/dead_ants1566.jpgDead ant pile removed from swarmDead ant pile removed from swarmhttps://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/close-up-ants-yellowbox1598.jpgAnts and eggs killed by sprayAnts and eggs killed by sprayhttps://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/archive-wide1562.jpgAnts in the studioAnts in the studiohttps://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/antsframed_work1575.jpgAnts inside framing packagingAnts inside framing packaginghttps://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ants-in-text-72.jpgANTS-in-text-722013-03-11T13:16:37+00:00monthlyhttps://regionalartspractice.com/2012/10/19/hello-world/https://regionalartspractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dv_desert-pano72.jpgD+V_Desert-Pano722013-02-13T08:46:56+00:00monthlyhttps://regionalartspractice.comdaily1.02018-12-29T09:15:55+00:00
