Returns to Burn: A review of Ian Burn: COLLECTED WRITINGS 1966-1993 by Camille Orel
‘Thirty years on, Stephen’s collection returns us to the question: why does Burn remain a tragic point of identification for artists and art historians in Australia? And what bearing does this have on his steadily growing international audience?’
Camille Orel writes an extended book review for un Extended: Returns to Burn — a review of Ian Burn: Collected Writings 1966-1993 (ed. Ann Stephen).
This review was edited by one of our un Extended Editors-in-Residence, Ella Howells, and supported by Yarra Arts and City of Melbourne.
Everybody Everywhere All at Once: reflecting on the 60th Venice Biennale
by Alice Castello & Is Randell
‘As I wax and wane in and out of this experience of being an Australian Biennale delegate in Venice surrounded by foreigners, kith and, art world kin, I think about our ability to make meaning in our togetherness and what it means to be held by these raw encounters with artists’ offerings. Indigenous modes of thinking and being in solidarity with each other frames the experiences of Venice.’
Two Australian Venice Biennale delegates, Alice Castello & Is Randell, reflect on the 60th Venice Biennale, what it means to be ‘foreign’, Archie Moore’s history Golden Lion win, and Palestinian resistance and activism.
Language Ecologies – Ren Jiang, Wen-Juenn Lee, Madison Pawle
‘We attempted to coordinate an arriving-together to ACCA but we failed and instead met on the seats inside, gossiping over instant coffee and lemon ginger tea as we waited for Language Ecologies to begin.’
In the lead up to un Projects’ 20 year anniversary, we hosted Language Ecologies, a day of panel discussions, readings, and performances that explored the multiple ways language and writing emerges from, and shapes, artistic practice. Situated in James Nguyen’s exhibition ‘Open Glossary’ at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Language Ecologies fostered discussions on publishing, storytelling, self-determination, togetherness, entanglement, digital networks, and language materiality.
For un Extended, we asked three attendees — Ren Jiang, Wen-Juenn Lee, Madison Pawle — to write a response to Language Ecologies.
un Projects is based on the unceded sovereign land and waters of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation; we pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
