SMH: No sculpture at Bondi? Manly, Wollombi and Mudgee offer a fix

by

Article by John McDonald

Sydney Morning Herald

QStation, Manly, is hosting the first-ever Les Sculptures Refusées: A Celebration of Rejection, (until November 19). The idea of a Salon des Refusés for works rejected by Sculpture by the Sea has been around for a long time, so it’s ironic this show has appeared while the parent exhibition remains in suspended animation. It’s the brainchild of two very good, mid-career sculptors, NAS alumnus and staff Simon Hodgson and NAS alumna Tania McMurtry.

In June, we celebrate World Pride Month. Like many other culturally significant times, it’s a month that’s meaningful to our community and the Oxford precinct we are part of.

In 2015, NAS alum Todd Fuller (@fuller_todd) sent members of the public black and white drawings depicting two men engaged in a passionate kiss. The participants were encouraged to respond to the image by colouring in the figures, with the resulting images compiled by Fuller into a mixed media video animation.

Fuller gifted this work to the National Art School Collection, a collection that performs a major role within the National Art School as both a teaching resource and a historical record. Visit our website to find out more about the works in our collection.
