This benchmark publication documents the diversity and vitality of lesbian talent in Australia. A hitherto marginalised group, lesbian artists are now being incorporated into mainstream culture and this book provides a timely introduction to the issues explored by these artists, which include sexuality, mythology and religion, mass media and technology. The development of different modes of production through collaborative processes and collective art making is also discussed. The history of the emergence of lesbian art practice into contemporary culture is charted through documentation of alternative exhibition spaces, legislation, protest marches and events such as the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras held annually in Sydney. The acceptance of lesbian art as an art of difference rather than of community is examined. The diversity in lesbian art practice is highlighted through the variety of styles, art forms and practices which the author has uncovered. Performance art, film, video, computer generated imagery as well as painting, sculpture, graphic arts and craft reinforce the impression of a vital, imaginative body of work making an important contribution to late twentieth-century visual art. This book, with its theoretical discussion, historical overview and profiles of leading practitioners will be an invaluable resource for artists, students and teachers in art schools, women's, gender and queer studies, feminists, homosexuals and lesbians.

The Teaching Tree is a kinetic sculpture by Muhannad Shono created for the Saudi Arabian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (23 April ? 27 November 2022), curated by Reem Fadda. Composed of hundreds of intertwined palm leaves painted black, the work has the appearance of an enormous feathered being, an allusion to the power of nature, an inexhaustible source of mutability and rebirth. The artist?s investigation is rooted precisely in the ancestral force of Nature, in its creative and at the same time destructive potential. The Teaching Tree is a manifestation of the irrepressible creative spirit: the embodiment of a living imagination, which grows despite the teachings that seek to tear it down. Any restrictions on the human mind only create fertile ground for stronger, more resilient forms of expression.00 The catalogue documents the installation with evocative photographs and, more generally, provides insight into Shono?s work through critical essays and an interview with the artist. The contributions delve into some characteristic aspects of his work, such as the use of the colour black, the use of line, the reference to historical and mythological figures and the use of technology, as well as the idea of the garden as a creative space.00Exhibition: 59. Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte. National Pavillon of Saudi Arabia, Venice, Italy (23.04. - 27.11.2022).
