Erased de Kooning Drawing

This section of Making Sense of Modern Art explores Robert Rauschenberg's drawing Erased de Kooning Drawing.

Making Sense of Modern Art offers an extensive and engaging guide to modern and contemporary works in the Museum's permanent collection. Its rich-media format enables you to "zoom in" on full-screen details of individual artworks, explore excerpts from archival videos and films, and listen to commentary by artists, art historians, critics, and collectors.

http://www.sfmoma.org/msoma/artworks/93.html



Erased de Kooning Drawing is iconic because it stands for an era when something seemingly negative could, in fact, turn out to have positive repercussions. It is revolutionary in a philosophical, though not in an aesthetic, sense. The influence of Rauschenberg's white work can be seen in many later artists, from Richard Hamilton, who designed The Beatles' "white album" cover, to Richard Tuttle and Felix Gonzalez-Torres . Mostly, I see Erased de Kooning Drawing as part of Rauschenberg's way of making a grand gesture. If he had created the White Paintings at a different time or in a different way, they would be forgettable, if not laughable, but when we installed Seven Panel White Painting in an arched niche in the Reina Sofia museum in 2002 for the Black Mountain show I curated there, it transformed that space into something like a temple, even though there was much that was active going on around it. It transmitted a sense of stillness, of interiority. It was only later that one stopped to wonder at its maker's quiet genius.

Australia's convict heritage

Port Arthur Historic Site (Tasman Peninsula)

Australia's convict heritage goes global

The Australian Government, in partnership with relevant state and territory governments, is preparing a nomination for World Heritage listing of 11 of Australia's convict sites as an exceptional example of the global story of forced migration.

The sites that are expected to be collectively nominated for the World Heritage List are:

• New South Wales: Old Government House (Parramatta in Sydney), Hyde Park Barracks (Sydney), Cockatoo Island Convict Site (Sydney) and Great North Road (near Wiseman's Ferry)
• Norfolk Island: Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area
• Tasmania: Port Arthur Historic Site (Tasman Peninsula), Cascades Female Factory Site (Hobart), Darlington Probation Station (Maria Island), Coal Mines Historic Site (via Premadeyna) and Brickendon-Woolmers Estates (near Longford)
• Western Australia: Fremantle Prison

The Department of the Environment and Heritage welcomes comments from interested groups and individuals on the 11 places that form the Australian convict sites nomination. Please contact: WHConvicts@deh.gov.au

======================
Port Arthur Historic Site was one of the places we visited this month.

It cost $25 each to get in. This included

- Site entry fee, {some of the buildings were closed}.
- An interactive exhibiton {disney ride} which we didnt do. It would be suitable for keeping school tours entertained.
- A 45 minute tour which we also didnt do. If you wanted the audio gude self tour it cost extra.
- A ferry ride to the island, which we didnt do. If you wanted to get off and see the island, that cost extra, and you were given an allocated time to take the cruise which didnt necessarily suit.

We would have preferred the choice to select which components of the site entry we actually wanted to see and pay for.

Contemporary Australian Printmaking NGV

Proof
Contemporary Australian Printmaking
9 December 2006 - 1 April 2007

The printed image, with its unique capacity to be reproduced in multiple versions, offers fertile ground for contemporary artists. So too does the variety of means by which such images can be created, from traditional techniques including woodcut and etching, to the newest developments in digital printing technology.

Today's artists explore the expressive potential of the contemporary print in many ways. Some utilise printmaking techniques in conjunction with the specialised formats traditionally associated with the multiple image, including the print portfolio and the illustrated book, while others adopt an experimental approach that moves beyond familiar expectations of the printed image.

This exhibition samples recent printmaking practice, featuring a selection of contemporary works from the NGV's permanent collection of Australian prints by artists including Mike Parr, Lesley Duxbury and Milan Milojevic.

Artists of Brücke

Artists of Brücke
February 14–May 21, 2002

This site is the Museum’s first exhibition created exclusively for the web and showcases its unparalleled collection of German Expressionist prints and illustrated books.

The Brücke group, formed in 1905 in Dresden by four revolutionary architectural students including Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel, strove to achieve a new synthesis between art and life, bringing meaning back to what they considered the superficial bourgeois existence of German life under Kaiser Wilhelm II.

They organized exhibitions and publicized their own work by issuing annual portfolios of prints. Printmaking, and the woodcut in particular, became one of their most important modes of expression.

This site presents over 110 prints arranged into thematic groupings to highlight the issues and motifs central to this seminal movement in the history of modern prints.
Flash plug-in required.

Organized by Wendy Weitman, Curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books.

Mann gegen Mann

Man against man
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together

Man against man
But my heart freezes on some days
Man against man
Cold tongues that beat there

Mein Teil



"The song is a play on "Weicheteile" Which means genitals in German. It is also about cannibalism and how after a man found a willing victim to slaughter they cut off his penis and ate it together first, as the victim requested."

“Looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered”
The Master Butcher ^[2]

Today I will meet a gentleman
He likes me so much he could eat me up
Soft parts and even hard ones ^[3]
are on the menu

Because you are what you eat
and you know what it is

It is my part – no
My part – no
There that's my part – no
My part – no
