“What would John think?” Is a question the artist Tony Clark held in the back of his mind when he first started painting. And he wasn’t alone. I have lost count of the number of artists who’ve told me that John Nixon was a mentor to them over the years so I was spoiled for choice when it came to people to talk to for this piece in @theaustralianculture today.
Thank you @milanda_rout for shepherding this piece, to TC and @anna_schhh for the always good chat and mostly to @susecramer for trusting me with her memories of her much loved and missed husband as she walked me through Song of the Earth @heidemoma. A colossal show and a Herculean effort, curated with all heart 🩷

$Congratulations to #mariamadeira KISS AND DONT TELL #TimorLeste pavilion @labiennale curated by 🩷🕊️ @natalieking_curator at Spazia Rava. it’s the inaugural showing for Timor Leste, a fraction of the size and budget of French, UK, US pavilions however Maria Madeira’s art and harrowing story are shared in a way that shows how contemporary art has such essential social, political and human contexts regardless of OECD ranking. This work is devoid of pretension and cuts to the heart. Advisor to the project @anna_schhh @annaschwartzgallery explains 👁️ “Madeira has imbued her work with her lived experience of displacement, having grown up in a refugee camp in Portugal with her mother. Kiss and Don’t Tell melds tenderness and trauma with the intimacy of a kiss. Madeira adeptly binds ancestral influences, traditional crafts with contemporary concerns for the plight of the voiceless. During the opening days of the 60th Venice Biennale, Madeira has kissed the walls with lipstick while singing traditional songs from her village in the Indigenous language Tetun. In particular, she sung a haunting Timorese song Ina Lou, literally meaning “Dear Mother Earth.” It is a spiritual mourning song known from the youngest generation to the oldest members of society with lyrics that refer to the cycle of birth and the journey of life and death. An act of resistance, survival and resilience, Madeira’s cultural activism pays homage to the women of Timor-Leste and the suffering of women globally. She offers solace and a murmur of hope and healing.” i am so proud to have a Professor girlfriend and client @natalieking_curator and watching her remarkable body of work - next stop @kathmanduartbiennale$

Callum Morton and I talked about father issues, empty shops, doorways,The Ice Storm and Wile E Coyote and somehow it all makes sense in the Ideas issue of @russhmagazine. His newest works, In Through the Out Door, spruce up some otherwise grimy laneways by reimagining three fire exits as grand entrances in Market Row and Mullins Street opposite the QVB. They are particularly beautiful at night ✨ @studiocallummorton @cityofsydney

A most precious moment during my preview-days in Venice: On my way to the airport, as my last visit to a Biennale-venue, I passed by TIMOR-LESTE’S (@timorleste_ ) inaugural pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (@labiennale ), presenting MARIA MADEIRA’s (@mariamadeira._ ) project „Kiss and Don’t Tell“ (2024), curated by Natalie King (@natalieking_curator )

Madeira’s exhibition coincides with the 22nd anniversary of Timor-Leste’s independence from Indonesia and is breathtakingly beautiful, deeply felt and masterfully curated. Maria Madeira gives a voice to the painful incidents and conflicts of her country, where words cannot describe and cannot mend. Deeply moved by the installation, I was lucky to get the opportunity to express my respect and compliments to the artist, who answered with a long and affectionate hug. Maria Madeira’s exhibition and this hug still resonate with me, I left Venice with an immense gift.

Heartfelt congratulations, also to the curator NATALIE KING (on the picture) and to the organisers and Anna Schwartz (@anna_schhh ), who supported this extraordinary project.
