today in art - Community News http://todayinart.com a creative place to be en hourly 1 Fv Community News The Offering http:// Robbie Rowlands Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:11:48 +0000 The Offering was a contemporary art intervention created by Robbie Rowlands in a single story weatherboard church and community hall in Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. The Church was officially opened in August 1904. In this same month, August 2009 – 105 years later – Rowlands’ arts intervention took place.

The artwork was produced using only the materials contained within its walls to create a visually powerful site specific installation. The Offering revealed the history of the site through exposed layers and sculptural forms that peeled and bent the inner surfaces of the building. Refusing the temptations of aestheticism or overt symbolism, Rowlands staged a complex mediation between the ageing structure and its former identity as a spiritual or communal anchor. The result was a profound encounter between the current state of the building and traces of its past, as well as a complex interrogation of the building’s interior spaces and materials.

Oblong masks came from the creative minds, the sculptures of David Minard seem to rise into the sky. … Inevitably evokes some giants of Easter Island, famous impressions of geoglyphs Nazca in southern Peru, they call for reflection and the interrogation. Born 34 years ago, David Minard, sculptor, painter, is a child of the country which has always lived at ST Raphael. His work, he literally sculpts the inside, the sheer force of his body. The artist also prefers to talk energy form, which vibrates with the material. Then covered with acrylic paint metal, they drape its metaphysical and esoteric inspirations. Protective forces, relaxing waves, the sculptures of David Minard seek appeasement. Each sculpture is unique and has a name of stars (Acamar, Achernar, Acubens …)
