Telepathy - Joyce Hinterding & David Haines

“Telepathy (2008) was an installation commission by the collaborative team of David Haines and Joyce Hinterding. The commissioning process was initiated by Performance Space’s former Associate Director, Sally Breen, as part of a suite of new works by NSW-based artists, made specifically for the cavernous CarriageWorks environment and in relation to its history, former uses and present-day conversion. Haines and Hinterding responded to the visually layered, light-filled, busy and echoic building by considering a space for darkness, silence and solitude: an anechoic chamber. Though it is located at a nexus for Sydney’s railway network, surrounded by vibrations, speed and electricity, Telepathy is an environment created for the purpose of channelling energy inwardly, for slowing down and shutting out all other sounds aside from the voice and the mind of the self. It is a space for the individual, sheltered within a reverberant environment and a dazzling, high-chroma, monolithic object that houses a non-objective purpose and potential for experience.” (source)

William Yang is of course the coolest dude of all time he almost single-handedly preserved this city's queer history post-AIDS through his photography but also I will never forget the time I was sitting behind him in the audience at a carriageworks panel about lgbt spaces in Sydney and he was playing solitaire on his phone

Pet Shop Boys planning first Australian tour in years

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/pet-shop-boys-plan-first-australian-tour-in-a-decade/

Pet Shop Boys planning first Australian tour in years

British music icons the Pet Shop Boys have shared that they’re planning an Australia tour – hopefully – for next year.

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe went on The Project to talk about new album Nonetheless, their 15th studio album, out today.

Neil said, “We’re planning to do a tour in Australia. I think maybe next year.”

But he quickly added, ‘What I should say is we’re in discussion about coming to Australia next year.”

The Pet Shop Boys have been touring their Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live tour around Europe.

The concert was also filmed and released in cinemas globally – including Australia – earlier in the year.

Neil and Chris haven’t performed in Australia since 2014. They performed a pair of shows at Carriageworks during that year’s Vivid Sydney event.

Their last full-scale tour was in 1994. The boys returned for a festival in 2007 and a Sydney New Year’s Eve show in 2011.

Pet Shop Boys on Troye Sivan and All of Us Strangers

Elsewhere in the interview, the Pet Shop Boys also gave a big shoutout to Aussie singer-songwriter Troye Sivan.

“I really like his album [Something To Give Each Other],” Neil told The Project.

“Last year, it was the pop album I listened to most.”

The boys also gave their thoughts on two high-profile projects that have used their music recently.

Andrew Haigh’s tearjerking All of Us Strangers and Emerald Fennell’s wild Saltburn both use Pet Shop Boys songs in pivotal scenes.

“There’s a sort of tradition with us – which these two films aren’t in, happily – where a director will want to use It’s A Sin to establish you’re in a gay club in America in the late 80s. It’s a bit corny, that, and reductive maybe.

“In Saltburn, they sing Rent and it’s part of the plot.

“In All Of Us Strangers, [Andrew Scott’s character] is with his family. It’s Christmas 1987 and Always On My Mind is number one and we’re even on the television in the scene.

“It’s an incredible moment of togetherness for them, and it’s a great use of the two songs in both films.”

Neil also said All of Us Strangers director Andrew Haigh would direct their next music video.

“The visuals on that are going to be incredible,” he said.

Pet Shop Boys’ new album Nonetheless

Pet Shop Boys’ new album Nonetheless follows their 2020 album, Hotspot. The new record is the boys’ first after returning to their ‘80s-era label Parlophone.

“We wanted this album to be a celebration of the unique and diverse emotions that make us human,” Neil and Chris explain.

“From the more dance-orientated tracks to the raw poignancy of the introspective ballads, with their beautiful string arrangements, each track tells a story and contributes to the overall narrative of the album.”

“It was great to work with James Ford, who we think has brought new elements to our music.

“James has dared to make us a bit more minimal at times and the final result is a record we’re very proud of.”

2013 was a busy year for Collarbones. We played about 40 shows that year alone.

We brought in 2013 by supporting Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Midnight Juggernauts on the central coast of NSW.

Made a quick stop at Sugar Mountain where we were broadcast on Boiler Room and played amongst Dirty Projectors, ESG, HTRK and Laurel Halo.

Travis played the Space Jam theme song at the Big Day Out silent disco with Animal Collective in Adelaide.

We then rigorously toured with Jessie Ware, Clubfeet, Chela and How to Dress Well.

Russell Crowe came to the Jessie Ware show after making friends with her on Twitter. She was an immaculate performer.

That guy Chris Lilley was at the Clubfeet show for some reason. Who invited him?

There was a party with Van She hosted by the Australian idol Rob Mills. Rob came up to Travis and stressed that Collarbones should be bigger than Frank Ocean.

We played at the Australian Museum amongst dinosaur fossils and News Corp did a photoshoot with us. Succession, eat your heart out!

The rigour continued as we did the rounds yet again with PVT, Dappled Cities and Owl Eyes.

Following that, we played Vivid, the Freemason’s Hall with Kaytranada, Carriageworks with The Presets, stopping off at Strawberry Fields. We were destitute but felt so rich.

At the very end of 2013, we were asked to play with one of our favourite overseas bands, Deerhunter.

They’ve been nothing but extremely lovely each time we have interacted.

2013 was capped off by us receiving this glowing review of our Deerhunter support slot. Those 40 shows paid off!

What a year it was.

Art Studio 1 Lectures (17.5.24)

Lecture: Presentation and installation of works (by Salote Tawale)

NOTE: The takeaway notes below use both Tawale's 2023 Carriageworks exhibition (detailed in a previous blog post) and the 2023 SCA Grad show.

Having an idea of how your works will be presented in a space is important:

What is the scale of your artwork, and how much space does it take up?

What does it look like overall, and how does it relate to the conceptual underpinning of the work?

Is its appearance (colours, textures, etc.) affected by the surrounding lighting?

What do you need to present it (technology, etc. - any delieverables need to arrive on time!)?

It is also important to consider the space itself, and accomodate the artwork within it:

The overall architecture and design

Scale of the space to exhibit your work

Lighting within the space

Technology available within the space

Safety to anyone walking through the space

Exercise: Talking about your art practice and/or your artwork/s in an interview (with Jacky Redgate)

Part 1: Interview questions to think about

What was the idea behind your work?

Why have you chosen [this artist choice] in representing [this idea]?

Why do you consider [this medium]?

What artists/literature/etc. influenced the processes within your work?

Why is [this theme] intrinsic to your approach to artmaking?

Part 2: Notes of your practice

Consider your history with art overall. When did you get inspired and what inspired you?

What are the materials and mediums you use (usually or occasionally)?

What ideas/themes underpin your practice and why do you consider them important?

Part 3: Find examples of an artist statement as reference.

Jes Fan's statement on works like Palimpest (2023), another artist who I have posted on here, from the interview Ari Larissa Heinrich had with him:

"JF: ...Each part of the body is indexed to a chapter, each chapter branches to an unimaginable entanglement of consumable goods, which in the end, is connected to me. As I was reading this book, I also started taking testosterone, and charting the changes in my body. One day, ... I held the vial of hormones and read it in the same light – “Where is this from?”, “How is this made?”, “How can I make this?”, “What life is involved in its production?” Upon asking these questions, I discovered that the source for pharmaceutical production of steroid hormones is soybeans, which is then suspended in cottonseed oil. So who am I to the soybeans? And what is its relationship to me? I think it was around then that I began to realise that I am beyond myself. And in asserting “I am”, I am also aware that the “am” is a verb, an extension of “to be.” So I am constantly in a verb-action relationship with the idea of being beyond myself... A pearl-producing oyster and I have so much difference!"

Toby Zoates' statement on his paintings such as Framed In The Kross (2015) from the webpage linked here - he was in a talk with us that day:

“I’ve found it hard to get support in my non-career and it’s always surprising, unusual places like this that have backed me,” Toby says. “Mostly because I’m anarchic and I’m intersectional.”

“If you asked me who I am, I might say queer first, but I’d say I’m an artist, a traveller, a nurse, I’m into science,” he trails off. “It takes mad men and mad women to be visionaries and make art.”
