Artspace Field Trip Work Sheet

1. Select two artworks that you believe make an interesting comparison in how they express or suggest ideas about locality. What ideas does each artwork communicate about identity? How are these ideas communicated? Explain why you believe these artworks make an interesting comparison.
       The artworks 'Citizen band' (Angelica Mesiti) and 'Right of way' (Janet Lilo), each
       artwork helps convey mainly the same Idea of cultural identity within different social
       surroundings but communicated in completely different ways. In 'Citizen band' Mesiti
       uses the media of moving image where she capture four separate people in settings
       around Australia where it captures them playing their own cultural music. This is
       completely different to Lilo's work 'Right of way' is composed through photographs in
       which there are over 4000 installed onto the gallery wall where they make up the image
       of her driveway and typically Auckland things like blue tarpaulins and old TV's that you
       would see in the annual inorganics. Both these artworks communicate the idea of
       cultural identity shows an interesting comparison through the different use of media to
       help convey this.
       

2. The curator of the 5^th Auckland Triennial, Hou Hanru, has written, “[i]t has become increasingly evident in today’s globalized world that it is impossible to talk about the question of locality without relating it to globality.” Consider Janet Lilo’s work, Right of way. What elements of the local and the global can you find in her artworks? 

        Within Janet Lilo's 'Right of Way', the artwork shows both elements of local and global

        imagery, like the blue tarpaulins, an icon of the New Zealand outdoor lifestyle in which

        they are used for many different things. Then there is the global imagery of the

        mountains of televisions which this is a global product in which doesn't matter if its new

        or like the ones in the artwork the old retro TVs in which have the box backs to it. The

        image of the TV's stacked upon each other also shows the societies obsession with

        consumerism and wanting more and the new. This is shown effectively through her

        artwork.

Migration Prose final Exeter Remains

Engraved into the smooth blue porcelain of the Devon blue ware, is the saying “Like the blue of Devon I’m from heaven” the jug sits comfortably on the shelf as the heirloom gathers dust. The blue of Devon jugs that have been collected and compiled together and have a range of different sayings on some of them and others none. But the one stating “like the blue of Devon I’m from heaven” stands out the most as it is unique and unlike any of the other sayings that crowd around it. The tactile object holds its place as a nostalgic object of my families past. As I sit and imagine how it would have been like back in England actually using these items like the milk jug that is so precious to us now as it is no longer filled with milk but rather the memories and the significance that it is filled to the brim with. The contrast between both the blue and the crème colour that makes the writing stand out on the porcelain and the numerous jugs become an icon that sits in my mother’s glass cabinet that is accompanied by many other things that are priceless possessions that commerates and exhibits  our migration from Exeter all the way to New Zealand.

Slumped beside one of the jugs is a tattered and dust gathering sailor doll once presented to my mother  as she made her voyage from England to New Zealand by boat. The colours faded it has obviously had better days, yet it still has the same smiling face that gleams at you and captures your heart in a glance.  Easily held by a little child’s hand the much loved doll dressed up in the sailor costume threadbare and fraying at some parts has gotten the worst being dragged around and tossed into copious amounts of scenarios that are soon to be forgotten. That only the 50’s style doll could handle, because the things that were made and created in that decade, were meant to last another few decades.

Bright and shiny placed in protective frames are the war medals achieved by both my grandfather and great grandfather in world wars the medals signify their hard work to defend our country and  

The bright colouring of the ribbons has a rough yet silky feel and haptic look to it. The gold and other metal medals hang perfectly on the strong ribbons, imprinted into the medals wordings and images embossed and engraved into the medals. Symbolic to my grandfathers the war memorabilia creates a nostalgic feel that projects these remembrances of what we learnt about war in history class at school. Although very different the knowledge that we educate ourselves with compares nothing to the honest experience that my grandparents experienced whilst in the midst of the combat of world wars.

Despite this shelf the only other place the holds the nostalgic heirlooms is tucked away deep in my mother’s jewellery box for safe keepings. Are the rings of my grandparents and further down the line. Engagement rings and more the stunningly beautiful jewellery waits patiently for it to be one day treasured. Just like the other heirlooms that are placed in my surroundings of my own home.

X Ways of Looking at a Teacup

Filled with tea

Hot coco and coffee

Warms you up on the unbearable days

They serve as protection to the icy temperature.

 

A holder for trinkets,

A decorative way of displaying, your precious objects

Whilst staying organised and ordered.

 

Years of use and multiple abuse

The chipped and cracked antique teacup

Now holds its place.

Soon to be packed up with a million other, seemingly  useless things,

Only to gather dust.

 

Found in a dusty box

Placed away perhaps for safe keepings

Only to have is passed down for a child to dress up and reinact

Her wild imagination.

 

Tossed alongside with the mismatched crockery,

The tea party commences

Mad hatter and all

The water in place of actual tea

Her youth disallowing her from the scalding hot liquid.

 

Chipped from countless amounts of tea parties

The mad hatter was soon disinvited.

 

Starwaka Style poem Toto the Death Trap Car

From point A to point B

The transporting of sisters

Only granting memories to grow

Fights, laughs road-trips and more

The many memories collected and crammed into the truck

Of old little Toto the death trap car.

Radio blaring only to compete with the signing of two sisters

As the Corolla repetitively lurches forward…

Until coming to a complete stop.

But now Toto has morphed

From the once rusted, threat to life and limb

 To working like a new car

The breaks replaced and all

It’s gonna take a little time to get used to the new Toto
