Saturday 20th February, 2010ArtStart Grant Information Session
Tuesday 19th January, 2010
There is an ArtStart information session tomorrow (20th January) at Fraser Studios, 10-14 Kensington Street, Chippendale NSW. If you’re interested in learning more about this new Australia Council grant for young and emerging artists drop by the studios at 1pm.
Kath Melbourne will be running the session, with short talks and Q&A by recent grant recipients Anna Lise De Lorenzo, Claude Jones and myself.
Anna was awarded an ArtStart grant for her ‘object design studio launch supported by a series of curated exhibitions investigating emerging local object design’, Claude was awarded a grant ‘to develop and implement a marketing strategy to raise [her] profile, increase gallery and media attention and sales’ and I am using the grant for ‘laying the foundations to make a living as a sound and multimedia artist’. You can read more about what other recipients are using their grants for in the ArtStart December 2009 Assessment Meeting Report.

Public Bunnies; (Op.3 in C# Minor)

Public Bunnies flyer design by Mickie Quick
I went to see Public Bunnies; (Op. 3 in C# Minor) at PACT last Friday. It explores the rules and rituals we impose on ourselves by creating an elaborate society in which old underwear is treated with the highest of importance and status. The concept is quite strange but it works, and it works well.

Monday 7th December, 2009Ólafur Arnalds – Ljósið (Official Music Video) from Erased Tapes on Vimeo.
I just came across this clip on the Create Digital Motion website. It is one of the most beautiful music videos I have ever seen.
The way the music and vision are linked through movement, colour and texture is mesmerising. The strings enter with a restrained, graceful flourish of colour, pulling back to the solo piano’s minimal swaying harmony, all with an overarching beautiful melancholy. Esteban Diácono’s vision is literally woven through Ólafur Arnalds’ music, creating a multimedia work that reaches the listener/viewer on a deeply emotional level.
Simplicity is beauty.
