GARY L. PHILLIPS, OBECHAIRMAN

BERMUDA NATIONAL GALLERY3.

In the decade and a half that I have been a member of the Bermuda National Gallery, I cannot

recall a time when the Bermuda Biennial did not provoke intense discussion – indeed

controversy, to the point where even abandoning such an exhibition was seriously

contemplated.

It is my sincere hope that the Bermuda public and visitors alike will find this year’s 2010 Biennial

no less stimulating and provocative. And as such, I especially want to celebrate those artists who

fearlessly and boldly have created a new body of work to be assessed by external jurors with

a wealth of artistic talent and experience – particularly in contemporary art. I submit that Bermuda

and art in Bermuda are the richer for this exercise.

This year, we are grateful to Veerle Poupeye, Executive Director of the National Gallery of Jamaica

and Tumelo Mosaka, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Krannert Art Museum in Illinois, for

providing a new window of opportunity and even a prescription that could herald an entirely new

energy to capturing the vast cultural and social richness of our community.

On behalf of all the Trustees, I offer my congratulations to the artists and extend our deep

appreciation to Bacardi International President and CEO, Michael Brennan and his staff for their

sustained encouragement and support of the Biennial over many years. Thank you to the Bermuda

Department of Tourism for their support.

It has been said that art shouldn’t merely comfort or entertain us – it should also challenge us. I hope this exhibit leaves you thinking about

your place in our shrinking world. It is my sincerest hope that this year’s Biennial will help each of us to appreciate the creativity,

diversity and strength of our people. I encourage everyone in Bermuda to come and see the Biennial to be inspired and challenged.

On behalf of the Government and the people of Bermuda I would like to congratulate the twenty artists whose work was chosen to be included in the 2010 Bacardi Limited Biennial of Contemporary Art – Bermuda’s premier art exhibition. Let me also congratulate those whose work was not selected. To expose oneself to the scrutiny of international jurors is certainly a daunting undertaking. Be not discouraged however. Take solace in the words of Persius who said: “He conquers who endures.”

Since the Biennial started twenty years ago the quality of art has undoubtedly evolved to an international standard with the jurors commenting on the quality of work submitted and the technical skills of the artists. While they were surprised at how vibrant our local art scene is – we who have seen the evolution of our local artists were not.

LISA HOWIEDIRECTOR

BERMUDA NATIONAL GALLERY

Ambiguity is the hallmark of contemporary art, often, so too is the forward funding for an exhibition. The Bermuda National Gallery is

grateful for the dedicated sponsorship of Bacardi Limited, and this year, the support of the Bermuda Department of Tourism. We all agree

in the value of cultural tourism, community enrichment, and aesthetic pleasure created by this important art exhibition.

Since 1994 international art experts have juried this exhibition, be they acclaimed artists, established curators or museum directors, each

bringing a sensibility of contemporary art and a vision for a “biennial”. When we look across the previous biennials to today, it is clear that

Bermuda’s culture is very much alive with visual artists who are creating stimulating artwork.

Presently, Bermuda’s arts scene continues to grow. The Corporation of Hamilton has extended the leases to the Bermuda National Gallery

(BNG) and the Bermuda Society of Arts (BSoA), so that the City Hall & Arts Centre continues to be just that. The BSoA, Bermuda’s oldest

artist society, continues to provide emerging and established artists with cost-effective exhibition space. The Masterworks Foundation’s

annual Charman Prize gives artists a competitive opportunity to win awards and prize money, while being inclusive of all artists. The

Dockyard Arts Centre and Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation both offer studio space and gallery space for artists. And with the recent

re-opening of Windjammer II at the Hamilton Princess, artists have another opportunity to interface with the commercial market, while

gaining exposure to the international demographic. Artists have many opportunities to showcase their talents and evolve by doing so.

As this is my first biennial as the Director of the BNG, I felt it important to critically address the paradigm established by the previous

biennials, and question why do we host a biennial? What do we intend to see happen as a result of the biennial? In a word, the answer is

internationalism.

This exhibition has the opportunity to be internationally competitive. It has the potential to play a role in the international art scene. It has

the possibility of travelling and seeing parts, if not the whole, represented in relevant contexts, such as the Caribbean. In questioning what

the biennial is, leads to what the biennial can become.

It is my endeavour to establish relationships with the 2010 jurors and indeed make a pledge to Bermuda’s artists that we can

evolve the Bermuda Biennial into one that gains greater exposure and appreciation beyond our Island’s shores. Engaging with the

‘other’, projecting our culture into alternative spaces and places, will shed light on the vitality of our local arts scene, while quite potentially

launching careers into the global sector. Your support of this initiative is greatly appreciated.

SPONSOR’S FOREWORD

5.

The Biennial Exhibition, one of the most dynamic events on the art calendar, inspires Bermuda’s contemporary artists to strive beyond

their normal comfort zones to greater heights of artistic exploration. Especially in these difficult times, we need creative and talented

artists to imagine a better future, and to enhance the lives of all of us living in Bermuda. We need to celebrate this spirit for life - this vigour

of heart, mind, and soul to reach beyond limits, wherever it is found.

At Bacardi, we celebrate spirit for life everyday in everything we do. In fact, Spirit for Life is our basic purpose, the very essence of

our passion; why we love to work for Bacardi. Spirit for Life encompasses sociability, optimism, energy, and enhancing peoples’ lives –

making good times great, helping to create memories that will live forever. This too involves striving to greater heights of creative

exploration, and adding fun to our everyday lives.

Since 1998, Bacardi is delighted to be a part of a great tradition of excellence upheld by the Bermuda National Gallery,

celebrating the spirit of Bermuda’s art community.

On behalf of Bacardi Limited, I extend congratulations to the organisers of the Biennial for the vision in supporting the art community

with this well-crafted juried exhibition. To the distinguished international jurors - Veerle Poupeye, Executive Director, National Gallery

of Jamaica, and Tumelo Mosaka, Curator of Contemporary Art, Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois - we are grateful for your

participation in judging this exhibition. To the artists who submitted work, your courage is an inspiration, and I wish you every success in

following your artistic passion.

CURATOR’S FOREWORD

7.

Bermuda’s artistic tradition has been built on a western aesthetic imbedded in European colonialism. This tradition has been informed

throughout history by diverse cultures such as African, American, Caribbean, Irish, Native American, and Portuguese. It is this diversity

that has developed Bermuda’s highly complex identity and it is this synergy of histories, memories and cultures that provide the context for

today’s contemporary art.

This year marks the 115th year since the first Biennale exhibition in Venice in 1895. Initially conceived to reflect the art of the times, this

mandate has not changed. National and international Biennial exhibitions endeavor to continue the tradition of highlighting artworks that

respond to and articulate the surrounding contemporary culture; they are portholes, visions for the future.

2010 marks the Bermuda National Gallery’s 9th Biennial of Contemporary Art. This year the exhibition received an impressive 277

submissions from 71 artists. Artworks submitted responded to universal themes in modern day society; they connected with global issues

and were influenced by a variety of cultural traditions. Other works explored artistic movements, philosophies, aesthetics and styles. The

artistic mediums ranged from digital film to performance, traditional landscape paintings to portraiture, assemblage to sculpture,

photography to print. This range of artistic expressions and mediums is evidence of Bermuda’s thriving art scene.

After a rigorous and structured jury process, 42 pieces of art by 20 artists were chosen for this exhibition. The works selected challenged

traditional art forms by pushing boundaries and redefining visual art, but this alone was not the success of a work. The success lay in the

artist’s ability to synergize context, technique, and originality, creating a piece of artwork that challenged set artistic traditions.

Some may question why some of the most well-known, well respected artists in the community were not represented in this

selection: the answer lies in the intent of the exhibition. The exhibition seeks to represent artwork that challenges the traditional

and continues to drive radical aesthetic innovation.

I would like to thank all the artists who submitted artwork for the 2010 Bermuda National Gallery Bacardi Limited Biennial. It takes courage

and conviction to have your artwork juried, and I thank you for participating in the dialogue. The discourse on contemporary art is alive in

Bermuda and I am thrilled to play a role in this discussion.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF DENNIS SHERWIN

CHARLES ZUILL, PhD

Shortly after the Bermuda National Gallery opened its doors to the public in 1992, Dennis Sherwin, one of the major founders of the

Gallery, suggested that we consider hosting a Bermuda biennial exhibition. Thus began one of the major events in the BNG

exhibition calendar. Now, eighteen years on and nine biennials later, the “Biennial” is seen today as an important encouragement of

the visual arts in Bermuda and possibly a catalyst in the resurgence of the contemporary Bermuda art scene.

Dennis was always very proud of the Biennial. Even in his last years, when he often found it difficult to get out to exhibitions, he

always made a point of seeing the Biennial.

Shortly after I returned to Bermuda in 1983, I met Dennis; however, odd as it may be, I do not recall the meeting, although I am very

sure it had something to do with the Bermuda Arts Centre at Dockyard, for Dennis loved the visual arts. From thereon, our paths

often crossed and as time went on, we began to work on projects that brought us into a close working relationship. First, it was the

Bermuda Arts Council and then we were asked to be trustees of the Bermuda Fine Art Trust. This quickly led to being on a steering

committee to consider the feasibility of establishing a Bermuda National Gallery and when that became a reality, we became

trustees of the BNG. More than that, Dennis was always there with wise counsel and quiet financial support. Additionally, Dennis,

who was a keen collector of art, especially modern original prints, was always generous in allowing the BNG to exhibit selections

from his collection. With the death of Dennis on December 19, 2008, the Bermuda National Gallery and the Biennial lost a very

dear friend.

On this the opening of the ninth Bacardi Limited Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Bermuda Art, it is fitting that we all remember

our good, wise and generous friend, Dennis Sherwin.

General artistic merit was another prime consideration. We took the position that making a provocative statement was not, in itself,

enough to warrant inclusion but that the work had to do so with integrity and authenticity and with the conceptual and formal imperatives

of the work adequately resolved. We looked for technical accomplishment and, in doing so, noted several problems with production

and presentation. Several works that had excited us when we first saw them as slides disappointed when seen in actuality and we wish

to emphasize that decisions about the media and techniques used, about scale, and about framing and mounting are crucially important

to the success of a work of art. The Bermuda Biennial provides artists with an opportunity to take bold, new steps and we regretted

that even the work we selected was often too safe and predictable. We invite these artists to deepen their queries for the next biennial

and, while not wishing to be prescriptive, remind them that Bermuda’s unique history and present day social conditions present a rich

field of possibilities.

As the invited jurors for the 2010 Bermuda Biennial, we took a particular position on the purpose of this biennial and, by implication, asked

who this biennial is for and what it seeks to achieve. These are of course questions that need to be answered from within the Bermudian

art world and we invite the Bermuda National Gallery and the Bermudian art world as a whole to engage in dialogue on this subject.

VEERLE POUPEYE TUMELO MOSAKAEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CURATOR OF CONTEMPORARY ART

NATIONAL GALLERY OF JAMAICA KRANNERT ART MUSEUM, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS9.

JURORS’ FOREWORD

The term biennial is a charged one in the context of contemporary art. It implies a high-profile, recurrent exhibition, held in and usually

named after a particular location, in which the art presented and the curatorial positions taken are informed by a critical self-awareness of

the possibilities and fault lines that define the present moment. In a world where local and international biennials have become

commonplace and operate in the service of stimulating economic growth and cultural identity, these projects have the potential to move

beyond familiar ideas and processes to envision new paradigms. A successful biennial contributes meaningfully to the dialogues and

exchanges that shape the course of contemporary art, locally and globally, and this usually benefits the artistic communities in which

these events take place – the exponential development of contemporary art from Cuba after the establishment of the Havana Biennial is

a case in point. The location of a biennial is crucially important, not only because of its effects on local art worlds, but also because

a biennial’s unique perspective and significance is to a great extent determined by its local context.

The Bermuda Biennial is a national biennial, which consists exclusively of work by local artists, in the sense of artists of Bermudian

and other origins who are based on the Island and Bermuda-born artists who live elsewhere. As such, it is similar to, for instance, the

National Biennial in Jamaica. While the Bermuda Biennial primarily addresses its local art world, the inherently cosmopolitan character

of Bermudian society and the use of overseas jurors extend its focus beyond the borders of Bermuda. The use of external jurors allows

for each edition of the biennial to have its own specific focus, determined by dialogue between what was submitted by the artists, the

curatorial and critical perspectives and decisions of the overseas jurors, the curatorial practices of the Bermuda National Gallery and,

ultimately, the critical and audience reception of the resulting exhibition.

The selection process for the 2010 Bermuda Biennal presented difficult challenges for us that seemed inherent to its location and the

history. In making our selections, we felt compelled to move beyond the already ascribed visual vocabulary that reflects figuratively on

the Bermudian landscape, the all-too-comfortable “island aesthetic” that can be seen in many of the local galleries and is well supported

by the local art market and cultural tourism. We are not disputing the legitimacy of such work in the Bermudian context and recognize

that much of it is highly accomplished in its own right, especially from a technical point of view. The exhibition we have selected, therefore,

does not seek to provide a broad survey of the contemporary art scene in Bermuda. Had we done so, we would have produced a

biennial which replicated much of the 2008 edition and unproductively encouraged stagnation. Instead, we have focused on work that

departs from the safe, fixed positions we detected in much of what was submitted and charts more open-ended, critical

trajectories, in keeping with what we believe should be the exploratory, developmental thrust of this biennial. This was the main

criterion we used in our selection process.

I like to use readily available, ‘everyday’ objects to create sculptures. Many times they have a very short lifespan. Although

the resulting photographs are all staged, it is important to me that they have a simple , ‘snapshot-ish’, aesthetic, so that they

feel familiar even when the subject matter is unusual.

There is a freedom and creativity to contemporary visual arts that is a critical counterpoint to the constraints of

our small and largely traditional society. Fortunately, the opportunity for work to be recognized is more accessible

and that is a privilege. My price for a voice at our cultural table is a commitment to advance individual work and

our collective culture till it can join a global debate as an equal member.

In my practice I investigate notions of time and transition. My work deals with capturing personal reflections on

these themes, not so much presenting the facts, but rather conveying to the viewer their emotional dimension. As a first

36.Lost, Found & Whistle, 2009. Gouache and pencil, string and whistle, 17 x 11 in.

The intention of the work is to

represent ideas or situations. These

ideas and situations are the subject

matter. The work is spare in

form. The materials, and the titles,

are chosen with the intention

of adding to the meaning. For

example, a string may be thought

of as string, a line, or maybe a

colonial tie.

Bus Slaves, 2009. Oil on canvas, 14 x 29 in.

I am fascinated by people; the way we interact,

express ourselves and construct identity. The raw

and imperfect have always appealed more to me

than the pretty and polished. These caricatures are

the result of honing in on our flaws and

fetishes and exaggerating them. The characters

and creatures that appear in my work are often

anthropomorphic. In popular culture, animals are

often ‘modified’ to suit our moral values. I find the

awkwardness and tensions that arise from

imposing human characteristics and values on

animals interesting. In reaction to these trends I

have been ascribing less flattering human qualities

and habits to animals.

My work includes traditional materials and techniques

to subvert the complacent attitudes they have been

burdened with by modernism and I draw inspiration

from personal experiences and a diverse rich cultural

heritage. The stimulus for Hands Across Da Table

was “From dreamtime to machine time”, a painting by

Trevor Nickolls.

My earlier works were done

in a experimental way,

influenced by Jean-Michel

Basquiat and Jackson

Pollock. Using words,

images and colour, along

with shape and texture, I

slowly and methodically build

up the picture’s surface, layer

upon layer, until there is a

pleasing overall balance, and

a visually interesting and

unified composition.

Bad Intentions, 2009. Monotype, 24 x 18 in.

I consider my work to be a collection of opinions derived from social interactions, media influences, daily rituals and

memories. In particular, I enjoy exploring social and political paradigms through implied narratives. I question and parody

the circumstance behind each opinion using indeterminate, yet seemingly familiar characters that are perpetually in a state

of birth, coexistence and destruction.

The work that I am doing now and for the foreseeable future explores related narratives expressed in visual

art, poetry, prose and performance. There are autobiographical and metaphoric elements to the visual art pieces,

which are inspired by a series of poems entitled “granite gods”.

Art is the opportunity to

create reason. Where

other disciplines lead us

to uncover or trust in

significance, Art is unique

in giving us license to

assign our own. Artists are

obligated to provide us with

the opportunity to cultivate

our perspective.

Spume, 2008. Mixed media, 22 x 30 in.

My art is based upon the observation of nature and resulting experimentation. I observe the trace

marks of forces in nature and then try to replicate them in art. I do this by first attempting to

understand the natural forces at play in creating such marks and then try to recreate the situation

whereby such forces can interact with selected materials, so as to leave their trace in the materials.

I am a semi-retired house painter and musician. In 1980, I founded the Paget Football Club, and was the head of a martial arts school, which was held at the Admiralty House from 1975-1980. Currently, I am a volunteer for the Mirrors Programme. I have always shared a keen interest in helping young people, primarily due to my assorted background. I found this to be a great opportunity to share my knowledge and life experiences, in hope of helping someone to make a better l ife for him or herself.

I have not had any formal art schooling but found it as a natural talent. My love for drawing has led me not only to composing numerous drawings but to also enter this exhibition and to obtain a better understanding of the art.
