Borgelt has been awarded global commissions including by Baker McKenzie for their Sydney offices in Barangaroo and AMP Capital at 123 Pitt Street, Sydney, and by Melco Crown Resorts, Macau, for their Morpheus (hotel) design by Zaha Hadid Architects.

Her work is held in private collections across the United States of America, France, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Dubai, Morocco, United Kingdom, Germany, Myanmar, China and Mexico. [1]

Borgelt is the recipient of international art awards and residencies including a French Government Art Fellowship and Residency (1989) [3] and the Muswellbrook Art Prize (2020). [1] [4] Borgelt has won the Peter Brown Memorial Travelling Art Scholarship, the Dyson Bequest for work and research in Paris and an Australia Council Creative Arts Fellowship. In 1996 she became the first Australian to win the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award. [5]

Early life

Borgelt was raised on a farm near Nhill, in the Wimmera district of Victoria. [6] [7] Between 1973 and 1976 she undertook a Diploma of Fine Art at the South Australian School of Arts before completing a Graduate Diploma of Secondary Art Teaching at Torrens University Australia in Adelaide in 1977. [1] Borgelt left Australia for the New York Studio School in 1979. [3]

In the 1980s, Borgelt taught at the Canberra School of Art and the UNSW School of Art & Design. She was a guest lecturer at University of Newcastle, Macquarie University, Campbelltown City Bicentennial Arts Centre and the Ivan Dougherty Gallery at the University of New South Wales. [1]

Artistic practice

Interested in the cosmos, language and phenomenology, Borgelt has discussed maths, science and physics as paths to better understanding the universe and explores these disciplines in her art. [8] Her investigation of these influences through diverse mediums, has led to collaborations with René Tazé etching atelier in Paris (1990), [1] with printer Fred Genis (1995), [9] with Fondazione Berengo Studio in Murano, Italy (2006-2007) [1] and with Tilt Mechanical Engineers (2020-2021). [10]

Career

1980s

The natural landscape that surrounded Borgelt during her rural upbringing inspired her early work. Anna Voigt wrote concerning Borgelt's art practice that, "The journey of the spirit and of artmaking are inseparable realities for Marion Borgelt". [11] Borgelt's childhood in rural Australia remains integral to her art practice. 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.” In an interview with Candida Baker for The Australian Weekend Magazine (1999) Borgelt commented that the landscape gave her an understanding of nature as a rich source of material, and was intrigued by its cyclical patterns. [12] This interest in natural cycles is demonstrated in Fire, Wind and Water No. 1. [13] Natural details and a focus on the minute also emerged in her works as seen in Athenian Netherworld and the Night Eye, the subject matter of which has been compared to woven skin cells or webs. [3] In 1988 Borgelt was one of 22 artists selected from 450 entrants to participate in the Moet & Chandon Young Painters Tour. [14] Borgelt began exhibiting at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in 1982. [3] In the same year, her art was included in the 4th Biennale of Sydney Vision in Disbelief, and in 1985 her work was shown in the Australian Perspecta Biennale. In 1986 she was invited to represent Australia at the 6th Indian Triennale, alongside Jenny Watson (artist). [3]

In 1989 Borgelt was awarded the French Government Art Fellowship and Residency to develop her practice in Paris, where she remained for eight years. [3] Paris was the catalyst for a shift in Borgelt's artistic approach, where previously her gestural abstract works were intuitive, the intellectual setting of Paris, abundant with artistic and academic resources, encouraged her practice to become refined with a planned approach. [6] In an interview with Betsy Brennan for Vogue Living Australia, Borgelt explained that “Paris with its historical and complex psychological layering has caused me to open up a range of doors...find a stasis, or centre of my own”. [6] This refinement is illustrated in her Void series and Mnemona Suite, 1994-1995. Borgelt's fascination with the cosmos seeped into her work such as her Blood Light series (1995-2005) which reflects this interest in depicting the macrocosm and the microcosm. [3] In Paris Borgelt also developed her own lexicon of symbolic language related to the primordial, exploring the qualities of symbols and their ability to evoke ancient memory with their enduring communicative powers. [15] The suite of symbols featured in her Primordial Series was influenced by Celtic art forms, the Kabbalah belief system and Buddhism and Hinduism. [5] Her visual explorations of this notion are reflected in the works such as Primordial Logic and Primordial One: Figures F, B, E, A. In her work Anima/Animus: Splitting Into One No. III, there is a reference to a Jungian theory of the archetypes. [16] Noticeable in these works is the presence of the circle shape, which often occurs in Borgelt's oeuvre. While various shapes have different significance for Borgelt, the circle, as she states," [...] embraces to me the most, and the oval too to a certain degree, but the circle seems to represent to me 'totality.' Because the circle is [...] a contained thing without [...] any tension.". [17] This symbolic language continued in her series Bottled Histories where timber panels were painted and layered with bees wax before being paired with collected vessels. Symbols painted onto both vessel and panel cross-referenced each other, exploring a recontextualization of the objects. [13] Borgelt's French palette mainly featured blacks, reds and whites. Victoria Lynn notes of Borgelt's work that, "Energy in her paintings can be as soft as a feather or as turbulent as and fierce as a violent storm." [18]

In 1998 Borgelt was commissioned by News Corp Australia to develop a large-scale site-specific installation for their Sydney corporate headquarters. This commission brought Borgelt back to Australia. [19] Primordial Alphabet and Rhythm was installed as a 15m high work that comprises 12 large painted panels and 10 low relief sculptural discs. Collectively, the work represents the flow of communication, waves and energy. [12] In 1999 Borgelt was commissioned to complete her first large-scale outdoor work, 55 Ring Maze, which encompassed 1.5 hectares, at Arthurs Seat, Victoria. The maze, an interactive work, combined art and nature reflecting Borgelt's interest in living art and ancient patterning. [20]

2000s

During the 2000s Borgelt's work developed breadth through experimentation with new mediums and forms, including a shift into sculpture. [3] This can be seen in Borgelt's 2004 suite, Cryptologist's Memoir, where she carved into the pages of books and moulded wax into the hollows, creating embedded symbols. These works have been likened to ancient tomes. [21] A theme of dualities emerged in Borgelt's work which, as highlighted by journalist Paul McGillick for Art & Australia, considered tensions between “our biological and emotional natures, the body and the spirit, our everyday consciousness and the powerful sense that there are worlds beyond this one, our sense of adventure and our fears, the senses and the mind”. [22]

Borgelt drew upon her early interest in natural cycles by depicting the passage of time, using examples such as lunar sequences, as a means to explore these all-encompassing forces. In 2004 Borgelt was commissioned by JPMorgan Chase to create a work for the 32nd floor of their offices at the Harry Seidler building overlooking Circular Quay. Her 4000 kg work Time and Tide (wait for no man) arranged sculptural elements in a spiral form, depicting phases of the lunar cycle, suggesting that corporate life is governed by a global clock. [23] In 2005 Borgelt was commissioned to complete her second large-scale outdoor maze. Returning to memories from her rural childhood, and inspired by photographer Peter Leaver's image of approximately 2000 sheep being mustered on Mungadal Station near Hay in Victoria, Borgelt designed Round Up Maze. [24] In the same year she was invited to join the judging panel for the Blake Prize, and would again be invited in 2018. [1]


During these years her paintings are said to have challenged the flat canvas form, particularly in her Liquid Light suite, which established three-dimensional qualities that dynamically produced movement. [25] For these works, Borgelt painted her canvases on both sides, then sliced the canvases, precisely twisting and pinning them to reveal the inner layer. This technique introduced a new relationship between the viewer and artwork; whereby the work would ripple in motion, revealing itself differently as the viewer changed position. [25] The origins of this method could be ascribed to Lucio Fontana, [26] though the kinetic effect of Borgelt's twists add a hypnotic dimension. [27] This suite led to a 4.5m triptych commissioned by the Sule Shangri-La Hotel in Myanmar and an additional suite for Crown Towers at City of Dreams (casino) in Macau. In 2005 Borgelt created commemorative installation Man's Destiny Resides in the Sole for Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. [1]

In 2006, for her exhibition Nothing is Invisible at Christine Abrahams Gallery, Borgelt interpreted her journey from her childhood home to the expansive world she's come to experience. Regarding influences for this suite, Borgelt recalled in an interview with Harbant Gill for the Herald Sun, “One of my strongest senses of where I was in time and space was in relation to the horizon line and the night sky.” [28] Also in 2006 Borgelt further explored lunar cycles in a collaboration with Fondazione Berengo Studio glass Murano, Italy.

In 2008 Borgelt expanded the optic qualities of her work in her Strobe Series which rendered hand-painted lines of colour together with deliberately incorporated curves that created an optical illusion that has been compared to a seismograph. [3] Paintings from this series were featured in an installation for the Mirvac offices on 101 Miller Street North Sydney.

In 2010 a 15-year retrospective of Borgelt's work, Mind and Matter, was held at Drill Hall Gallery at the Australian National University in Canberra. Her diverse use of mediums and documentation of large-scale commission works illustrated her ongoing investigation of optics, structures and natural elements. [29] In 2011 she was commissioned by Bates Smart to create Candescent Moon, a large-scale work of a lunar cycle for 101 Collins Street, Melbourne. An optical illusion plays with the eye when moving from one side to the other, encouraging interactivity with the work. In 2016 a 20-year survey, Marion Borgelt: Memory & Symbol, was held at the Newcastle Art Gallery. These works, spanning from 1993 to 2016, prompted recognition of the invention, consistency and versatility in Borgelt's practice. [30] In 2017 Borgelt was commissioned to create a kinetic work that spans a three-storey atrium for Baker McKenzie at Tower One, Barangaroo, New South Wales. The motorised work, Cascadence, alludes to the notion of descending droplets as coloured elements rotate. In 2018 Borgelt was commissioned by Melco Crown Resorts in Macau to create a suite of large digital face-mounted photographs for 52 lift lobbies of the Morpheus (hotel), design by Zaha Hadid Architects. [31]

2020s

In 2020 AMP Capital commissioned Borgelt to create Musical Spheres to be situated within the music precinct of Angel Place, on Pitt Street Sydney. This kinetic work uses crankshaft mechanics to gradually move the large coloured discs in a motion akin to hammers gently hitting piano strings. [10] Music is an enduring inspiration for Borgelt's practice. In her exhibition Silent Symphony at Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert in Sydney, Borgelt's geometric works such as Florette No. 3 were considered, by art critic John McDonald, to possess the hypnotic attraction of a mandala.

Richard Larter was an Australian painter, often identified as one of Australia's few highly recognisable pop artists. Larter also frequently painted in a Pointillist style. He took advantage of unusual techniques with painting: using a syringe filled with paint to create his early works, and juxtaposing multiple images on to a canvas. Many of his works are brightly coloured and draw on popular culture for source materials, reproducing news photographs, film stills, and images from pornography. He was married to Pat Larter, an artist who was involved in the Mail art movement, then performance art and finally painting in a brightly coloured style similar to Richard's. The Larters emigrated to Australia in 1962. Richard Larter's pop art was less ironic than his American and English counterparts. In this Larter is similar to other noted Australian pop artists, such as, Mike Brown and Martin Sharp.
