Floor talk on There goes a Narwhal exhibition*** (with works by Michael Zavros, Nell, and Lionel Bawden)
Artist Michael Zavros & UQAM Director Nick Mitzevich
Location: The University of Queensland Art Museum, University Drive, St Lucia (www.artmuseum.uq.edu.au) *AES+F Group (Russia): Last Riot
The hit of the Venice Biennale 2007, Last Riot is a three-screen video installation by four Russian artists, together known as AES+F Group. In collaboration, Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovitch, Evgeny Svyatsky and Vladimir Fridkes have created this shockingly assertive new work, inspired by Caravaggio. Within its virtual 3-D world of baroque-tinged madness, we witness a war develop between anonymous, androgynous teenagers. As the group explains: “…everyone is fighting against the others and against themselves. There is no difference between victim and aggressor, male and female.”
Sidney Nolan completed a series of nineteen paintings on slate tiles during 1941 and 1942, eighteen of which entered the University’s collection in 1977 following their exhibition at the Institute of Modern Art in that year. Nolan recalled his paintings of ‘birds nestled against…spherical forms’ and ‘other subjects, too, on slate tiles which are now in the University of Queensland’s gallery collection… I was interested in the wounded bird looking for help and comfort’ (Sydney Nolan – Australia, 1978). Images of lovers, boats, angels, hands and feet – some suggestive of religious iconography – are sketched with disarming simplicity on fragments of slate.
Michael Zavros, Nell, and Llionel Bawden developed the idea for There goes a Narwhal during a visit to the ‘Lady and the Unicorn’ tapestries at the Musée National du Moyen-Age in Paris, where they discovered a two-and-a-half-metre-long narwhal tooth – a trophy claimed from the unicorn of the sea. For this exhibition, Michael Zavros has produced a suite of small paintings and drawing on the narwhal and other mythical animal/human hybrids; and Nell has created sculptural works that deal with birth, sex and death: a large shaman woman in bronze is followed by thirty-three small, hand-blown glass ghosts, each representing a year in the artist’s life. Lionel Bawden retains a sense of wonder, responding to the narwhal tooth by carving a mass of coloured pencils, colour glinting in the faceted and spiralling surface.
