Future Generation Art Prize 2012 - Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, United Kingdom
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye was born in 1977 in London, UK. She lives and works in London. Yiadom-Boakye attended Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Falmouth College of Arts and the Royal Academy Schools. She took part in numerous group exhibitions including the 7th Gwangju Biennale (2008), Secret Societies, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt am Main, the 11th Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art (all 2011), and The Ungovernables, New Museum Triennial, New York (2012). In 2012 Lynette also had a solo exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery, London.
Painting black people for Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is something completely natural that has come to carry a political meaning. Her figures, always either fictional or anonymous, emerge during the act of painting which usually does not take her longer as a day for each picture. It's about a certain kind of urgency and capturing that time frame, Yiadom-Boakye herself describes the process. Most of her paintings come in work groups, which is also relevant in terms of presentation. The changing combination of paintings suggests a narrative which remains undefined by the artist and can thus be fleshed out by the viewer's interpretation.
For the PinchukArtCentre Yiadom-Boakye has specially created a new series of paintings.

Macquarie University Art Gallery - Transplantation: A Sense of Place and Culture exhibition
Transplantation: A sense of Place and Culture features twelve contemporary jewellery artists from the UK and Australia and explores the theme of place and cultural identity arising from their personal and family experiences of transplantation.
Jewellery offers an art form which provides a means of recording memory and experience in a portable and wearable form. Through this medium it is possible to express ideas, thoughts, and concerns, which may not be achievable in other ways. Twelve contemporary jewellery artists from the UK and Australia have been selected to create up to three pieces of work each, which will articulate the notion of transplantation in a tangible form.
Each artist in this exhibition has their own experience of cultural, familial and artistic transplantation of one sort or another that they have drawn on to create work which is powerful, engaging and thought-provoking.
Curator: Professor Norman Cherry
Artists: Jivan Astfalck (UK), Roseanne Bartley (AU), Nicholas Bastin (AU), Norman Cherry (UK), Lin Cheung (UK), Jack Cunningham (UK), Anna Davern (AU), Joungmee Do (AU), Sheridan Kennedy (AU), Bridie Lander (UK/AU), Jo Pond (UK), and Laura Potter (UK)
The exhibition will be on display for an additional period at Macquarie University Library exhibition space (Building C3C) 12 March - 11 April 2014.
Transplantation was developed by the University of Lincoln and assisted by the National Centre for Craft and Design and the Arts Council England. In Australia it is toured by the Museum and Gallery Services Queensland.

The Yale University Art Gallery Collection-Sharing Initiative
SPOTLIGHT ON TEACHING WITH MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
Investigations into the Ancient Mediterranean
Between 2010 and 2012, the Hood Museum of
Art took part in an innovative pilot program that
enabled the Yale University Art Gallery to lend
forty-seven ancient Mediterranean objects to the Hood for
a two-year period beginning in December 2010. Initiated
by Yale and funded by a generous grant from the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, this collection-sharing project is
intended to foster intra- and inter-institutional collaboration
and expand opportunities for Dartmouth faculty
from all disciplines to teach from works of art. Central
to the initiative is a program of strategic loans from
Yale’s encyclopedic collection, comprising nearly 200,000
works, to six “partner museums” for use in specially
developed projects and related coursework. The program
was created based on the belief that while technologies
have increased access to museum collections, there is
no substitute for the experience of learning from original
works of art.
Dartmouth faculty and students from a range of disciplines,
including art history, classics, religion, and history,
made use of both the Yale loans and works from the Hood
collection to explore how the close observation of works
of art can reveal connections to wider cultural, religious,
political, and social themes. This film documents the
teaching and research that came out of this project and
serves as a resource for students, teachers, and museum
professionals interested in the ancient Mediterranean.
Produced by the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College and
Dartmouth Media Production Group.

Exhibition showcases colourful works of naive art
(14 Aug 2017) LEADIN:
An exhibition in Brussels is showcasing a colourful collection of works of modern naive art.
The biennale show is dedicated to paintings and sculptures in the simple, naive style - often created by artists who have no formal training.
STORYLINE
A colourful papier mache cat peers at visitors.
It's one of the many works on display at Belgian Naive Art Biennale, created by artists from all over the world.
Naive art is characterised by a colourful, unsophisticated, almost childlike style.
Traditionally, naive artists have had no formal artistic training and do not follow artistic rules such as perspective or naturalistic form.
Perhaps the most famous artist in the naive style was the 19th century French painter Henri Rousseau, best known for his jungle scenes.
Works at the Brussels Biennale include paintings as well as papier-mache statues, and other more unusual materials.
Artist Chantal Nyssen created her The Fairy of the Lienne from a puzzle of hundreds of tiny, coloured eggshell pieces.
Catherine Schmitz, the biennale's curator, says the naive style is seeing a resurgence in popularity.
There were quite a few biennales of naive art 10 to 20 years ago. Then we had a period during which there were fewer of them, and now it's true that naive art is enjoying a second youth. The first edition of our biennale was in 2007, so it's ten years. This is the 6th edition, she says.
This year's biennale features different interpretations of naive art around the world, with works by European as well as Central and South American artists.
Depicting details is an important aspect of naive art, with artists often painstakingly painting the tiniest items of lace, carpet or even the face of every single person attending a football match.
Naive art might at first glance appear superficial, but Schmitz says there's more to it than meets the eye.
When we talk about naive art we think of innocence, pleasure, of childhood memories. It's true that it features pastel colours, roses, infantile and nostalgic themes, kittens, etc. But this is not all: naive art is also a way to look at things. We talk about intellectual realism versus visual realism because artists don't show things as they see them but as they know them, she says.
A lack of visual perspective is another common feature of the naive style.
What matters is not reality, but the way the artist perceives reality at a specific moment, says Italian painter Paola Cenci.
Painting naive art offers a sense of tranquillity and my artistic path has been guided by this. I would walk in a place, here, for example, I was in Bracciano and saw the lake, the colours, and this gave me the inspiration to create a naive painting. It shouldn't be realistic but, through colours, it should evoke the feelings I had when I saw this beautiful, relaxing scene. For me the purpose of naive art is to inspire joy, she says.
For the Belgian painter Jean Pierre Lorand, dreams also play a starring role and are often a way to, albeit briefly, escape from reality.
These days it's more and more important to create an escape. There's a need to share dreams and beautiful things all around us, Lorand says.
The message is not lost on visitors like Jean Sacre, who says he enjoys the escapism on offer here.
Naive art is generally a very optimistic art form, very colourful, says Sacre.
With all that's happening in the world it has a more cheerful view and is very colourful. I like it very much.
For the artist Monique Schaar, naive art has provided the means to channel the energy of her busy inner world.
Brussels-born Schaar was awarded the first prize at the 2015 Biennale of Naive Art in Brussels and this year she's a guest of honour.
