Marion Borgelt (born 1954) is a contemporary Australian artist based in Sydney. While originally trained as a painter, she also works in other media such as installation and mixed media. During the 1970s Borgelt trained at the South Australian School of Arts, the Torrens College of Advanced Education and the New York Studio School. == Early life == Marion Borgelt grew up near Nhill, in the Wimmera district of Victoria. The Wimmera landscape so apparently replete of life, was interpreted by Sidney Nolan in the 1940s when he was posted there in the army; his images soon became inexplicably linked to avant-garde art practice, as much as his personal response to place. They also became icons of modernism in Australia. The Wimmera is also a vital source for artist Philip Hunter (b. 1958) who grew up in Donald, a small town there; in his work he challenges meaning in art, and the experience of landscape as image and poetic form. Marion Borgelt attributes her initial interest in the cyclical nature of the land, to her early experience of the Wimmera landscape. She explains how her early childhood experiences in rural Australia remain integral to her art practice, yet she does not want to create a narrative. As for the landscape itself, she "was always both impressed and haunted by the vast flat open space of the Wimmera. In summer it felt like we lived under the sun. It was hot and dusty, wheat fields shimmering as far as the eye could see. It is a place where the earth meets the sky with nothing much in between. There were, of course, the wonderful vernacular structures of the wheat silos, which dotted the horizon. I called them 'The Cathedrals of the Wimmera'. When I was about seventeen, I was desperate to leave.” During the 1980s, Borgelt taught at the Canberra School of Art and the College of Fine Arts. She was a guest lecturer at Newcastle University, Macquarie University, Campbelltown City Bicentennial Art Gallery and the Ivan Dougherty Gallery at the University of New South Wales. Borget was the recipient of the ''Moet & Chandon Art Fellowship''. In 1982 Borgelt participated at the Biennale of Sydney and three years later in ''Australian Perspecta''. Together with Jenny Watson, Borgelt represented Australia at the ''Sixth Indian Triennale'' In 1989 Borgelt won a French government artist's residency and moved to Paris the same year where she lived for the next nine years. While in Paris, Borgelt collaborated with Rene Taze etching atelier and later on with master printer Fred Genis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marion Borgelt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
