Cell Block Theatre

International residencies provide a unique opportunity to develop your practice and studies in a global centre of artistic excellence. This experience enables you to immerse yourself in a new arts context, market, community and culture. This Art Forum will feature recent recipients of two major NAS residencies: Emryn Ingram Shute (La Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris) and Harry de Vries (The British School in Rome).

The three-month residency at La Cité Internationale des Arts offers a recent NAS Graduate or Academic staff member the opportunity for dedicated focus on their practice in the heart of Paris. There are four three-month residency periods on offer each calendar year. In partnership with over 130 French and international organisations, the Cité welcomes more than 300 artists each month from a wide range of disciplines. The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence, supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences. This annual residency offers a recent NAS MFA or DFA Graduate, or academic staff member, the opportunity to live and work in a catered en-suite studio for 3 months (generally April to June), as part of an international research community of artists, academics, fellows and staff. The British School at Rome was founded in 1901 and is just north of Rome’s historic centre in the Valle Giulia.

Emryn Ingram-Shute (Cité Recipient) is an emerging sculptor who works across multiple disciplines. Considering her own affective reactions and vulnerabilities, she uses humour and play to address socio-political inequities with intuitive combinations of found objects and created forms. At its heart, her practice seeks to interrogate power structures embedded within objects to reveal how our relationship to materiality is not neutral but intimately layered. She has recently returned from the awarded Onslow Storrier NAS Cité des Arts residency in Paris. Represented by the Dominik Mersch Gallery, her works are held in private collections across Australia.

Harry de Vries (BSR Recipient) is an artist and writer based on Gadigal and Wangal land in Sydney, Australia. His creative practice is situated in the tension between the material of daily life and simulacra: objects are brought into the studio and extended through processes of replication, casting, or reproduction, before being returned into the ‘real world’ as installations alongside found objects. The resulting work undermines the necessity of everyday life and generates a kind of ‘thin place’ where new ways of being in and seeing the world are possible. He holds a BFA and MFA from NAS. In 2021, he was awarded the Clitheroe Scholarship and the Brandon Trakman Prize, and in 2023, the British School at Rome Residency Award. In 2024, he was a co-director on the board 2024 of Schmick Contemporary, an artist-run initiative in Haymarket.

The National Art School was saddened to hear of the recent death of artist and NAS alumnus Bruce Goold (1948-2025).

Born in Newcastle in 1948, from 1961- 65 Bruce attended Sydney Grammar School, where he studied art with ceramicist and potter Gordon McCausland. This was followed by a year at the National Art School, Newcastle. Here he experimented with various mediums and made his first linocut. He then studied at the National Art School, c. 1967-68.

Bruce was a member of the artist collective Yellow House between 1970-72. The former Clune Gallery in Kings Cross was transformed by Martin Sharp and a group of fellow artists, who painted the exterior bright yellow and covered its internal walls with murals, portraits and decoration. Artists such as Brett Whiteley, Peter Wright, Bruce Goold, Greg Weight and Peter Kingston turned the building into an artwork, while visiting bands and celebrities made it a regular fixture of the Sydney scene.

Known principally as a printmaker, Goold created coloured linocuts and woodblocks including many images of Australian flora and fauna, as well as South Pacific inspired esoteric and symbolic subjects. He held solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne and internationally in London and Ireland. He received major commissions for poster, logo and interior design and worked as a designer for Mambo from 1992.

A retrospective exhibition, Bruce Goold, Artist, Designer, Printmaker, curated by Therese Kenyon, was held at Manly Art Gallery & Museum in 2008.
The National Art School extends its sympathies to Bruce’s family and many friends.
