Art on Paper: Hazelhurst Art Award 2013

It seems that I haven't updated this blog since Febuary, 4 months.  That's not to say that nothing has been happening.  Plenty has been happening.  I'll skip the missing time and get to current events.

I've been selected as one of 96 works in the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award 2013.  There were over 700 entries, so getting in is an achievement in itself.

The exhibition will be open from July 6th to Aug 25th - more info  HERE.

The selected work is a photographic still from my video In Culture After Culture.

Corporeal at Geelong Gallery

I've been curated in to the exhibition Corporeal which is currently on at Geelong Gallery.  The exhibition was curated by Melbourne based artist/curator Rona Green and will be on until May 12th 2013.

If you happen to be in the Geelong area, stop in and have a look.

Beginning with Printmaking – Integrative practice and crossing borders

I've recently had the honor of being curated in to ‘Beginning with Printmaking – Integrative practice and crossing borders', ’11th Nationwide Academies of Fine Arts Printmaking Biennial in Guangzhou, China. So if you happen to be in Guangzhou, stop in at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and check out the show!

Throwdown Press

Jason Phu and I recently started a project called Throwdown Press.  Throwdown Press is a “not-for-profit custom printing model that has an emphasis on open dialogue, broad relationships with the artistic community, informal teaching processes and support for emerging artists.”  What this means, is that we invite emerging artists with no printmaking background, to come and make prints with us.

Our first group (Ramesh Nhithyendran, Al Poulet and Patrick Cremin) have almost finished their residency and the results are encouraging.  We’ll be posting images, interviews and general stuff at http://throwdownpress.wordpress.com .  Be sure to check it out!

In culture as in culture

Here is a frame grab from a new piece I'm working on.  It's a video of a video projection on to a Jewish yahrzeit ('soul' remembrance) candle.
