Open Panorama

Franz Ehmann, Ihor Holubizky & Linda Carroli

The Austrian-born Australian artist is defined as the consummate humanist. His practice references war, genocide, pain and suffering but his promise is otherwise. Ehmann's materials include eggs, wax, honey and milk and are universal symbols of sustenance and comfort in a world torn from itself through violence and alienation. "I confess that English is not my language. Art is not my language. My dearest language is that of food, cooking and life." Often using himself as an ingredient or a platter on which he displays his art, Ehmann combines the visual and the edible in sculptures, installations, and even recipes.

Heterostrophic

Ihor Holubizky & Franz Ehmann

In the second book on Soapbox Gallery, Ihor Holubizky abandons conventions of art writing; rather the text that accompanies this lush collection of images by 20 artists who have shown at Soapbox over the last few years is more of a rumination, drawing from a range of quotes and cultural sources. Franz Ehmann follows on with a poetic investigation on the nature of art.

Soapbox Installation practices and artists

In this book, Linda Carroli writes of installation 'reeling in an unruly reality', seeing Soapbox in a tension between global and provincial practices ('Art is provincial, born of very local and immediate experiences'). Ihor Holubizky in his text ' Leaving the scene of the crime: The appearance of the 'anxious object' ' sees Soapbox sited in the history of installation, a hothouse of ideas and intransigence. The work of 16 installation artists from Soapbox Gallery is central to the discussion of this publication. The artists: Justin Avery, Natalie Billing, Jodie Cox, Franz Ehmann, Chris Handran, Ross Hobbins, Saul Kallio Edmonds, Jondi Keane, Britt Knudsen-Owens, Julianne Lawson, Sebastian Di Mauro, Anna Nordström, Courtney Pedersen, Caitlin Reid, Charles Robb and Debra Sara
