Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Artistic Director of the 2008 Biennale of Sydney.

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Artistic Director of the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, Revolutions – Forms That Turn, explores the “biennale syndrome” which seems to have taken over the art world in the last fifteen years? Why are biennales so attractive? And to whom ? Why are they also so unattractive for some audiences?

Christov-Bakargiev will look at the rise of biennales, how they have decentralized art and created multiple art systems while at the same time allowing for new possibilities of disempowerment.

When: October 9, 6.30 Where: Main lecture theatre (EG02) COFA FREE

SMASH HITS will be a loosely curated group show to be held at Parramatta Artists Studios during December 2007 and January 2008 (opening on the 6 th December).

As a celebration of the Studios’ first year, SMASH HITS uses the genre of the much celebrated compilation album to invite all artists to recreate their Best or Worst Moment of 2007.

Artists will be provided with a 12 inch LP sized board with which to illustrate their own smash hit. Thematically, these moments may be anything real or imagined; a response to a news story, a melodramatic personal saga or an experience of extreme banality.

Works are not limited to 2D images but artists should make use of the 12 x 12 inch board.

To receive your panel, send your name, phone number & mailing address to: studios@parracity.nsw.gov.au, tompolo@gmail.com or phone: (02) 96876090 before the 16th November.

Rose Anne McGreevy’s work is essentially form interacting with space to create a relational architecture of the mind.

This “architexture” is not a physical thing like a building but a psychological perception. The question arises “does this psychological perception aid in the creating of desire?”

Hello,

Mambo has a really cool event coming up and i am trying to get the word out.

The art-based event is being held this Saturday the 13th.

Basically the idea is in the morning of the event we will hand out a load of cryptic clues which will lead people around the city and then eventually to one of 15 final secret locations which is where we will have placed 15 one off pieces of art. Whoever gets to the art first gets the art.

The locations are all significant spots, some landmarks, some great art institutions, and all great cultural promoters within Sydney.

It is going to be great fun, widely publicized and like any cultural event the more people joining in the better it will be.

Please see attachments for all the information. It’s completely free and anyone can join in as long as they register. They can register by going to our website – http://www.myspace.com/mamboaustralia.

It would be great if you could put our information/flyer (attached) on your “what’s on” page and any other pages you think would spread the word.

Thanks

Matt Owens
