Marie Hobbs:
'Common Clay' Recent Paintings and Drawings
Common
Clay presents a new departure for Marie Hobbs. The stimulus for this
latest collection of semi-figurative works are the motifs of two oriental
artefacts. By playing with spatial conventions and composition, Marie
Hobbs de-constructs the images, alters their scale, creating new interrelationships
and tensions between the figurative elements in the paintings. Hobbs’
spontaneous use of colour and paint remains bold and seductive and
while filled with luminosity and energy these works radiate a contemplative
stillness. Hobbs’ exploration of the ‘psychology of memory’ is evident
in 45 Rabbit Avenue, a collection of personal memories, local art
histories and imagined narratives. Alongside the seriousness of Marie
Hobbs’ formal and painterly considerations there is a pervading sense
of vitality and play throughout the exhibition.

Plapp
March
of Time: A selection of paintings and works on paper from 1985 - 2001
Jon
Plapp was born in Melbourne in 1938. He obtained his first degree
from Melbourne University in 1959 and went on to gain a PhD (Psychology)
from Washington University, St Louis, USA in 1967. He settled in Toronto,
Canada in 1968 and went on to share a studio with Toronto painters
David Bolduc and Paul Sloggett in 1976. He returned to Australia in
1977 settling in Sydney.
Amongst other public and private collections his work is also held
in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia.
Plapp offers a site, a safe place if you will, where the viewers conduct
their maladies (some hybrid of exhausted vision and confounding imitation
it would likely be) for ease. Note that he doesn’t impose the
painting’s order on a disordered world. He merely allows for
that order – to be accessible to it. We come to Jon Plapp’s
paintings confident they will receive us in all their assuaging, not
to say therapeutic, property.
That said, I think we also come for their sheer sophistication as
visual productions, for their beauty in fact. He work of a mature
painter practised in his craft and sincere in his project, they position
Plapp in the echelon – and narrow it is – of contemporary
Australian abstractionists of substance.

Coinciding with the inclusion of a major body of work by Howard Taylor
in Queensland Art Gallery's flagship contemporary art event, The Asia-Pacific
Triennial of Contemporary Art - APT 2002, we present an exhibition
which traces the development of these and other significant works.
APT 2002: 12 September 2002 - 27 Januray 2003 will offer for the first
time in Australia the opportunity for audiences to engage with a substantial
body of work by just 15 International artists, whose practice has
contributed in outstanding ways to contemporary art over the last
three decades. APT 2002 will, for the first time, present in-depth
selections of work, thus allowing the opportunity for audiences to
closely explore each artist’s practice. Some of these artists
have made highly significant contributions since the 1960’s while
others have had a seminal impact over this last decade. The exhibition
will present a selection of important works that span each artist’s
active careers.

CONTEXTUALISING THE WORLD PASSPORT > THE ARTIST AS AMBASSADOR OF
IDEAS The world passport is an artistic initiative developed by the
artist Tom Mueller.
As a response to an ever-increasing globalisation, the world passport
was developed in order to conceptually deal with the Zeitgeist of
our times. The world passport recognises and respects the origin and
culture of each human being in integrating them to the world. This
concept aims to dissolve political and social boundaries and to encourage
global awareness,
Worldly responsibility and environmental lucidity are some of many
words that echo the essence of the world passport,
The physical role of the artist performer forms an integral part of
the work. The artist takes on the role of "World Ambassador'
in setting up a [World Passport Embassy at various locations around
the world.
"I would position the WORLD PASSPORT as an antidote to this ridiculous
US or THEM attitude --- there should be no THEM in this world, only
US."
Matthew Jesse Jackson Gold, 2001
