Do I have to draw you a picture?
Elisa Schaar.
Heong Gallery, Downing College,
Cambridge,
United Kingdom.
06/16/2018 -
10/07/2018.
Exhibiting artist(s): Louise Bourgeois, Jenny Holzer, Jasper Johns, Glenn Ligon, Bruce Nauman, Eduardo Paolozzi, Grayson Perry RA, Ed Ruscha, Wolfgang Tillmans, etc..
The eighth exhibition at the Heong Gallery engages with themes of communication, breakdown of communication, and isolation. It brings together a collection of contemporary American and British prints, from the British Museum, and works in various media from private lenders, including prints, postcards, books, diagrammatic drawing, sign painting, tape recording, neon, LED, enamel plaques, bunting, and campaign posters.
The rise of mass and electronic media meant that artists were no longer required for the transmission of objective content. Artists in this exhibition make communication and its technologies the medium and subject of their work. For these artists, as for thinkers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Marshall McLuhan, communication is never straightforward.
From Louise Bourgeois' parables of personal relationships He disappeared into complete silence (1947-2005) to Bob and Roberta Smith’s open Letter to Michael Gove (2011) and Wolfgang Tillmans' pro-EU posters (2015), the exhibition explores the potential and limitations of communication in making connections across distances - whether they be psychological, cultural or geographical - and art's own role in ensuring that 'no man is an island'.

CONF: Graphic Encounters (Melbourne, 7-9 Nov 18)
Dr. Liz Conor
Arts West, The University of Melbourne
Melbourne,
Australia
11/07/2018-11/09/2018,
9am-5pm
To be held 7-9 November in Melbourne, the Graphic Encounters conference will be presented by La Trobe's Department of Archaeology and History and the Centre for the Studies of the Inland. The conference hopes to provide a welcoming, inclusive forum in which conversations can be started, and in some cases continued, on prints depicting Aboriginal Australians. There are many, diverse people interested in this colonial visual archive within and beyond the academy - scholars, librarians, bibliophiles, art historians, curators, artists, collectors, dealers, researchers, descendants, community - and we very much want to open the conference to different approaches and formats in the presentations and panels.
Graphic Encounters is an Australia Research Council project led by Dr Liz Conor and based in the Department of History and Archeaology at La Trobe University. It intends to decolonise the colonial visual archive, spanning images from voyages of exploration to federation. This formative colonial visual library will be collated in a comprehensive online database to be made available (subject to cultural permissions) to Aboriginal researchers, artists, curators, descendants and community of the Aboriginal people who were depicted - often without names and anonymised as racial types. The prints are often very confronting, and were created, disseminated and commodified to foment and entrench the assumptions and perceptions about Aboriginal people, which justified their violent dispossession and recurring discrimination over generations. We hope to make this collated archive of prints of Aboriginal Australians available to interested communities and we are seeking funds to create opportunities to involve Aboriginal researchers and artists to critically interrogate this visual archive of their ancestors and country.
We particularly want to avoid another academic talkfest given these prints have Aboriginal content, they are therefore part of Aboriginal heritage and the way they are discussed needs to be of use and interest, first and foremost, to Aboriginal people. The conference aims to prioritise Aboriginal perspectives on this colonial visual library and give scope to the many different kinds of people interested and involved in these prints.
Registration for the conference, including a tour of the Australian Print Workshop, can be found via the 'External Link' below.

Seriously Funny: Caricature through the Centuries
Yale University Art Gallery,
New Haven,
CT, United States.
09/14/2018 -
01/27/2019.
Seriously Funny: Caricature through the Centuries celebrates the Yale University Art Gallery’s recent acquisition of several important 19th-century French satirical lithographs. The exhibition contextualizes these prints within the larger comedic tradition in Europe and America, demonstrating the enduring appeal and impact of visual humor through a selection of prints, drawings, paintings, and sculpture from the 16th to the 21st century. Distinguished by a sense of levity and immediacy, caricature has traditionally been considered inferior to fine art but has been used for centuries by classically trained artists as a vehicle to engage with subjects that are familiar and accessible. The witty works included in Seriously Funny trace the development of the genre from its inception as a studio exercise to its pointed use in highlighting human foibles and, finally, to its disruptive role as an instrument of political critique.
Relevant research areas: Western Europe, Baroque, 18th Century, 19th Century, Engraving, Etching, Lithography
