CODES
or how to make art in Perth
without becoming completely bored
Nothing that I did was serious. Everything I do is fun . . .
I was never frustrated, never anti or angry or anything.
Janis Nedēla interview with David Bromfield. March 16 2006.David Bromfield’s full length, full colour study of the art of Janis Nedēla will be formally launched in early 2008.
This absorbing account is the result of an intense collaboration between artist and author, involving hundreds of hours of interviews and painstaking reconstructions. Nedēla himself designed the book, once again in close collaboration with the author. The result is an absorbing, often surprising account of the work of an artist whose primary artistic aim has been to have fun. Not that having fun requires an inoffensive, inconsequential art.
Bromfield shows that from the beginning Nedēla was determined to take his art seriously and that, in dull pompous old Perth, the only way to do that was to have fun.He traces the evolution of Nedēla’s method, which the artist refers to as ‘coding’ from the reconstructed colour coded novels of his schooldays through collage, letraset and thousands of ‘adjusted’ pages of text and reassigned books to pencils painting and finally to performance. Nedēla’s ‘Coding’ began with the substitution of colours for letters and words. With a little help from John Cage, and others, it went on to become a universal method of fortuitous transposition. Texts become arrays of coloured pencils. Handwriting becomes painting.
