John Moores Painting Prize 2012

First held in 1957, the John Moores Painting Prize is the UK’s best-known painting competition and is named after Sir John Moores (1896 – 1993), the founder of the prize. The competition culminates in an exhibition held at the Walker Art Gallery every two years, which forms a key strand of the Liverpool Biennial.

The John Moores exhibition is held in partnership with the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition Trust, and although the appearance of each exhibition changes, the principles remain constant: to support artists and to bring to Liverpool the best contemporary painting from across the UK.

‘Mallarmé would have reacted to these paintings with silence. He was always eloquent.’ Anthony Rudolf on Anatole Notes

The Anatole Notes project consists of assembled groupings of paintings, objects, paper and letterpress text. Each assemblage reflects on the unfinished fragmented poems ‘Pour un Tombeau d’Anatole’ by Stephane Mallarmé (1879), ‘a tomb for Anatole’ translated by Paul Auster (1983). These fragmented phrases are Mallarmé’s attempt to come to terms with the death of his eight year old son Anatole. The sound and the visual arrangement of Mallarmé’s poems were as important as the meaning. His most famous poem ‘un coup de dés’ was a major influence on hypertext and has been the subject matter for many artists including Man Ray, Marcel Broodthaers etc.

Bustin’s reflections on his texts attempt to combine the written words with visual equivalents to reveal the expansive meaning of the text. Each work consists of three or four painted objects arranged on the wall and floor; they are made of various materials e.g. wood, linen, paper, metal, oil paint and readymade chairs. The Mallarmé text has been hand letter-pressed onto paper or linen by New North Press. See http://www.janebustin.com

This series has works that also feature in the John Moores Painting Prize and Jerwood Drawing Prize.

‘The purity of vision and execution in Jane Bustin’s work is startling. Warmth and emotion blur the edges of a teak-tough minimalism as exemplified in the materials used: natural wood grains and rich papers abutting sheer plastics and the mattest blacks.’ Mark Blacklock, writer

“Unusually serious, yet mesmerisingly beautiful, with a deftness of painting and aesthetic balance, Bustin is an artist’s artist, and has a intense quality and master touch. Avowedly not for the minimalist purists, like most of her work, each painting tells a story, it just requires the audience participation to look and realise they are seeing the pure distillation of a concept, an idea, a poetic phrase, a musical note. We expect so much to be done for us with our visual culture, but here Bustin, as ever, makes us particiapte in exploring our language of looking.” Artprojx Review

PRESS RELEASE

The Anatole Notes project consists of assembled groupings of paintings, objects, paper and letterpress text.

His most famous poem ‘un coup de dés’ was a major influence on hypertext and has been the subject matter for many artists including Man Ray, Marcel Broodthaers.

Bustin’s reflections on his texts attempt to combine the written words with visual equivalents to reveal the expansive meaning of the text. Each work consists of three or four painted objects arranged on the wall and floor; they are made of various materials e.g. wood, linen, paper, metal, oil paint and readymade chairs. The Mallarmé text has been hand letter-pressed onto paper or linen by New North Press. The use of the architecture and the derelict state of the exhibition space at Testbed, echoes the emptiness and barren nature of the Anatole texts.

Artprojx presents: Les Mystères du Château de Dé, 1929, film 35mm by Man Ray. 25 mins (continuous screening as part of the Anatole Notes exhibition throughout the day).

The longest of Man Ray’s films, Les Mystères du Château de Dé, follows a pair of travelers on a journey from Paris to the Villa Noailles in Hyères, built by the architect Robert Mallet-Stevens with a cubist garden designed by Gabriel Guevrekian. This modernist collaboration was made as an architectural document and inspired by Mallarmé’s poem ‘Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard’.

Jane Bustin has been selected for the 2012 John Moores Painting Prize and the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2012. Bustin has been in numerous group exhibitions including Kettles Yard Cambridge, Ferens Museum (Hull), Southampton City Art Gallery, Djanogly Gallery (Nottingham), Royal Academy (London) and recently at the B55 Gallery (Budapest). Bustin has had solo shows at The Eagle Gallery (London), Artprojx Space (London) and The British Library (London). Her work is in several collections including V&A Museum (London), Yale Center USA, Ferens Museum (Hull). http://www.janebustin.com

The Anatole Notes project consists of assembled groupings of paintings, objects, paper and letterpress text. Each assemblage reflects on the unfinished fragmented poems ‘Pour un Tombeau d’Anatole’ by Stephane Mallarmé (1879), ‘a tomb for Anatole’ translated by Paul Auster (1983).

These fragmented phrases are Mallarmé’s attempt to come to terms with the death of his eight year old son Anatole. Paul Auster comments;

‘this is one of the most moving accounts of a man trying to come to grips with modern death, that is to say death without God.’

As a major symbolist poet, Mallarmé was interested in Art reflecting upon an emotion or idea rather than representing the natural world. He believed;

‘the sensation becomes the truth, not the time and place’.

He made many collaborations with artists of other disciplines e.g. Manet, Whistler, Munch, Debussy, Zola and Verlaine. The sound of Mallarmé’s poems were as important and sometimes more important than the meaning. His most famous poem ‘un coup de dés’ was a major influence on hypertext. His use of the blank space and careful placement of words and punctuation on a page allowed non-linear and consequentially visual readings of the text.

In Mallarmé’s pursuit for the ‘oeuvre pure’ he deduces that:

‘having found nothingness, I have found the beautiful’.

In the Anatole texts, it is apparent that Mallarmé felt the inadequacy of words to translate the enormity of emotion he felt for his son’s death.

Bustin’s reflections upon his texts attempt to combine the written words with visual equivalents to reveal the expansive meaning of the text. Each work consists of three or four painted objects arranged on the wall and floor; they are made of various materials e.g. wood, linen, paper, metal, oil paint and readymade chairs. The Mallarmé text has been hand letter-pressed onto paper or linen by New North Press.

Artprojx presents: Les Mystères du Château de Dé, 1929, film 35mm by Man Ray. 25 mins

Continuous screening as part of the Anatole Notes exhibition throughout the day.

The film was shot in the Saint-Bernard located villa in Hyères built by the architect Robert Mallet-Stevens in collaboration with Leon David. A cubist garden designed by Gabriel Guevrekian, furniture and decoration by Georges Djo-Bourgeois, Pierre Chareau, Sybold van Ravensteyn, Robert Mallet-Stevens, stained-glass windows by Louis Barillet, clocks by Francis Jourdain. Sculptures by Lipchitz and Henri Laurens.

Two travelers (Man Ray and Jacques-Andre Boiffard) leave Paris. At the end of a long journey, they arrive at a castle of modernity of which they will try to penetrate the mystery. There they meet people with strange rites and appearance.

The musical accompaniment on this film is the one Man Ray devised in the 1940s. It includes: Gymnopedie no1 by Erik Satie, performed by Leopold Stokowski; Samba Tembo by Thurston Knudson, Agie Goupil, performed by Thurston Knudson; Batucada by Don Alfonso, performed by Jose Morand; Singa-Dilla Street by Razaf Johnson-Silvern, performed by Fats Waller; Shu-Shu by Almeida & De Souza, performed by Jose Morand; Gymnopedie no2 by Erik Satie, performed by Leopold Stokowski.
