Episode #24: Winners and Losers

This episode is a special edition produced by Liquid Architecture and co presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania featuring interviews and audio from the recent instrument builders project as part of Mona Foma 2021 – a durational performance held at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston, Tasmania.Instrument Builders Project’s (IBP) avant-garde, transdisciplinary and socially engaged approach has, over its previous four iterations in Indonesia, Australia and Japan, generated many fruits for the artistic communities involved. In short IBP is where artists invent, build, present and perform using invented ‘instruments’ that mix traditional and contemporary forms including sound sculpture, installation, improvisation and performance through international residencies. Each IBP is configured differently, however pre-pandemic iterations have consistently worked with an intensive 3-week international residency model, whereby new and alumni IBP artists work in a collaborative setting, culminating in an in-situ performance/presentation. IBP5 is a partnership project presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania, Liquid Architecture and Volcanic Winds. Curated by Kristi Monfries, Joel Stern and Lisa Campbell-Smith, featuring artists  Richie Cyngler, Julia Drouhin, Dylan Sheridan and Pip Stafford IBP5 is supported by Australia Japan Foundation, Asialink, Regional Arts Fund, Mona Foma and The School of Architecture &amp; Design, UTAS With very special thanks to Mara Schwerdtfeger (sound producer) and Mish Szekelyhidi (documentation and audio.

Lucienne is drawing extinct things.She has drawn a fly. A skink. A turtle.She draws them incredibly well. She puts effort in. She does her work and uses her ability and her skill and I think she’s trying to honour these things. Because as she draws, she looks at images of these now-extinct, now-dead, now-gone creatures, and she wonders about them, seeing how well they had evolved to be the commonplace miracles that every living creature is. She looks at the detail, and sees the detail, and draws it. Until the drawing is finished.Then she takes an eraser, and rubs it out.Because it is gone.Because it is dead.And because she is furious.- Andrew Harper, FURY, Island 159In this final 2020 episode of What are you looking at? we explore the concept of extinction through Lucienne Rickard's Extinction Studies.

Audio recording of the Catalogue Essay for the exhibition re-member. 2020 CAT Curatorial Mentorship, curated by Caitlin Fargher.24 July - 6 September 2020Contemporary Art Tasmaniare-member is about imagining across the cracks, filling in the gaps and stringing fragments together. This exhibition brings together three artists based in nipaluna: Selena de Carvalho, Takani Clark and Georgia Morgan. Their films and sculptures tell stories about mythologies, care and hope. They ask you to listen to, look carefully and move through contentious spaces by collecting residue from the past, remembering and reinvigorating what remains as a way to move forward in the future.In a world where stories of destruction and repeating the same wrongs dominate, it is an act of care to foster the stories that may have been forgotten or misconstrued by opening up a listening space for new voices (both human and non-human) to be heard. These are the stories that haunt us, the stories of places, family, species and who we are. To listen deeply to these stories now is healing, and to heal is to re-imagine what’s next.

What are you looking at?

Sustaining an art career can be a minefield of administration and opportunities. How do you know what to do? What does professional development mean? Where do you do it? What Are You Looking At host Theia Connell talks to Wendy Morrow, Kylie Johnson, Liam James and Nadege Philippe-Janon to get some answers to these questions.

Episode #4: Professional Development

In this episode we talk to artists who use text as part of their practice: Jude Abell, Justy Phillips, Sarah Jones and Tricky Walsh about art and writing. We ask them simple questions in an attempt to understand the juncture of art and writing, and art as writing: Are reviews an essential part of being a professional artist? Does writing work to open up or narrow down an art practice? How is text presented as visual art, or what is important as framing text as art?

Episode #9: Art & Writing, Writing & Art

Episode #7: Accident & Process

In our first episode for season 5 celebrated Australian artist, Louisa Bufardeci tells us about her background as an artist and how her 2012 LED installation Ethnicities to Nations came to be. Bufardeci discusses how the role of data and coding systems have informed her practice. The artwork Ethnicities to Nations is part of the group exhibition, Unspoken Rule  which presents work by Australian and International artists Archie Barry, Liam James, Annika Koops, Roee Rosen and Artur Zmijiewski. Curated by Stevie S. Han, the exhibition re-examines the shifting sense of political and cultural agency that characterised identity politics in the 1990s, and which is finding new urgency with artists working today. Unspoken Rule is showing at Contemporary Art Tasmania until 24 February 2019.Soundtrack by Brendan Walls
