Tarrawarra Biennale - Sonic Spheres

http://twma.com.au/exhibitions/event/tarrawarra-biennial-2012-sonic-spheres/


An assemblage of contemporary Australian visual artworks engaged with music, sound and voice.
Curator: Victoria Lynn
The TarraWarra Biennial was inaugurated in 2006 as a signature exhibition to identify new developments in contemporary art practice. The first Biennial Parallel Lives: Australian Painting Today was held in 2006. The second Biennial, Lost & Found, An Archeology of the Present, was held in 2008. Both exhibitions were opened to coincide with the Melbourne Art Fair.
The TarraWarra Museum of Art will present the third iteration of its Biennial from 5 August to 9 December 2012. Entitled Sonic Spheres the exhibition presents an assemblage of artists who are engaged with sound, music, voice and performance. The exhibition will include drawings, musical scores, sculptures made from musical instruments, paintings and video. These works invite us to listen to art, to find new sounds and melodies. Many of the artists will perform live with their art works during the opening weekend of the exhibition. The exhibition includes the work of both leading and emerging artists, such as Robyn Backen, Lauren Brincat, The Donkey’s Tail, Marco Fusinato, Nathan Gray, Dylan Martorell , Angelica Mesiti and John Nixon.

ARTISTS: JESS JOHNSON, ANNA KRISTENSEN, TESSA ZETTEL AND KARL KHOE, THE SLOW ART COLLECTIVE AND MARCIN WOJCIK. CURATORS: MARCEL COOPER AND BRONWYN BAILEY-CHARTERIS
BELLOWING ECHOES
20.04.12 – 26.05.12
Bellowing Echoes takes a piece of Melbourne folklore and uses it as a provocation and a point of exchange between artists who draw on the personal, the political and the relational. The project forms part of the 2012 Next Wave Festival and Gertrude Contemporary’s Emerging Curators Program. Presented by Next Wave in partnership with Gertrude Contemporary, this program provides professional development opportunities for emerging curators, and supports emerging artists in the production, presentation and publication of new work in a significant public context. Involving a formal mentorship with staff at Gertrude Contemporary that covers both the conceptual and practical development of an ambitious exhibition for the Next Wave Festival, the Emerging Curator’s Program enables new artistic viewpoints and curatorial positions to be realised.

Kerameikou 32

Kerameikou 32









Curated by Melody Ellis and Nella Themelios




ReMap3: an international contemporary art platform, Athens, Greece




12 July – 30 October 2011




Kerameikou 32 is a nomadic public art project exploring the relations between


art and globalised public space.




As urban spaces throughout the world become increasingly privatised for a


multitude of commercial uses, this project considers how mobile arts practices


can encourage experimentation and contestation within the public


realm. Utilising a truck fitted out as a gallery and performance space,


Kerameikou 32 imagines a new kind of roving‘institution’; a model for


rethinking the overlap of politics and art.


This project builds on the success of BUS Projects’ recent public art


intervention Critical Mobility and forms part of the 2011 program of


ReMap3 in Athens, Greece. The Kerameikou 32 truck will be stationed


at 32 Kerameikou Street for the duration of the opening week of ReMap3


(12 – 19 September 2011) and will feature work by Australian artists


Kay Abude, Ros Bandt, Michael Fowler, Agatha Gothe-Snape and 




Dylan Martorell.


The fit-out for the truck has been designed in collaboration with Athens-based


architects Beth Hughes, João Prates Ruivoand coordinated by


Vassilis Oikonomopoulos. At the conclusion of opening week, the


architectural fit-out will remain as a free-standing installation.


Kerameikou 32 has been curated by Melody Ellis and Nella Themelios


on behalf of BUS Projects. BUS Projects supports and promotes the


experimental fields of performance, sound art and spatial practice. In


addition to its core exhibition program, BUS Projects is committed to


operating outside of traditional gallery contexts, developing exhibitions,


 events and performances off-site and within the public realm.

The Devil Had a Daughter - MUMA



the Devil had a Daughter Monash University Museum of Art


Caulfield Campus4 August – 1 October 2011


Curator: Kirrily Hammond


The Devil had a Daughter reflects an enduring fascination with allegorical,


theatrical and macabre imagery apparent throughout the history of printmaking.


Drawing upon various forms of print-media such as architectural installations,


 the artist’s book, performative works, found printed matter, as well as longer


standing print traditions, this exhibition aims to open up the definition of


 ‘printmaking’ towards an expanded understanding of its role and form in


 contemporary art. The Devil had a Daughter features the work of Jason Greig,


Stuart Ringholt, Sally Smart, Dylan Martorell, Pat Brassington, Mike Parr, Tony



Garifalakis, Petr Herel and David Noonan, and is timed to coincide with


IMPACT 7, the International Multidisciplinary Printmaking Conference


to be held at Monash University from 27-30 September 2011.
