Southside Arts Collective Proposal to Tuggeranong Arts Centre for 2024
Mountain, river, lake – take away
An exhibition proposal from the Southside Arts Collective.
Artists include Lynne Flemons, Barak Zelig, Susan Wiscombe, Rebecca Shaefer, Nathan J Lester, Domenic Bahmann, Leonie Andrews, Gina Kikos, Louise Cooke, Louise Curham and others
Dates proposed Aug Sep 2024.
Contact: Louise Curham [email protected]
Introduction
In the south, the mountains are our backdrop, and the river is nearby. These natural features shape us when we shop on Anketell Street, look across the soccer fields at Wanniassa or go down Athllon Drive. In some cultures, we know ourselves by our mountain and our river. Here in the south of Canberra, things designed by humans for humans also shape us – the bike paths, the lake, the bogong moth sculpture on the parkway. By next year, Australia will have voted on the Voice referendum. Humans make choices about our relationships - with each other, with the natural environment, with the environment we build together. Those choices tell us much about who we are. Art is about choices and local artists can give us unique insights into a place – that’s what we hope to do in Mountain, River, Lake – take away. We’ll be learning about our place through each other and our work and we’ll be sharing that with the Tuggeranong community.
Visitors to the exhibition will experience works in the gallery and also outside, in its surrounds. There will be a wide range of styles and media brought together to investigate Mountain, River, Lake –take away. We aim to use talks and workshops to share our art making experience with theTuggeranong community.
More about the theme
Artists in the Collective will explore what the theme means to each of us as artists who live in the southern part of Canberra.
Why ‘take away’?
It means something prepared in one place and transported to another, usually to do something with – to eat, or ponder, or use. This can mean fast food, it can mean coffee to go, it can mean the personal ‘takeaway’ from a gallery visit we hope happens for our audience. The Voice referendum will be decided by the time we exhibit, we may still be pondering its take aways.
More about the works
The exhibition will be broad and sensory, using both the inside and the outside spaces of the arts centre. Some works will be by individual Collective members, others will be made collaboratively. All the work will be new.
Formats will include photography, textiles, sculpture, writing, glass art, print making, music, drawing and painting. Effort will go into gallery notes to explain our work and its connection to the theme. Our intention is to make an enjoyable and understandable experience for visitors. We want to celebrate the diversity of our work but also tie it together coherently.
Our public program
We’ll use this to tell audiences about our work and practice. This is also a way to provide a tangible takeaway for participants, giving them a chance to create a piece to take with them, a reminder of the exhibition and the place it was created.
While the Tuggeranong Arts Centre is among the busyness of a vibrant and bustling town centre, typified by many coffee shops and takeaways where people gather, there are also spaces of quietness and stillness by the lake, the river is never far and we all glance up to our surrounding mountains.
[Word count 520]
Public programs
Two Artists talks - groups of 3-4 members of the Collective will talk about their own work and their practice and its connection to Mountain, River, Lake - take away.
Two workshops
Turning trash into treasure - cleaning up canned drink ‘ring pulls’ and turning them into decorated ‘chains’
A hands-on half day event run by Collective members.
Discarded ring pulls from the tops of cans are joined together to make a continuous length of “chain” that gets embellished Here’s an example showing glass beads glued into the larger circle. Once all materials are used the “chain” is installed either inside or outside in trees to add a light reactive quality. This workshop literally links people together and it transforms potentially treacherous trash into uplifting and vibrant adornments.
The ring pulls can be gathered by workshop attendees prior to the event or supplied (a Collective artist has accumulated 100���s). Part of the workshop is to get participants to clean up their neighbourhood by collecting the ring pulls thereby saving them ending up landfill where small animals and birds can be brutally injured.
Community textiles - the community works with Collective artists to make a banner or flag for Southfest 2024
Drawing together many techniques from the group, we will make a combined textile that gets hung for Southfest 2024. This will use photography printed to textiles including cyanotypes - sunprints made using found objects. it will use stitching and weaving and can incorporate ‘panels’ made in other media such as glass. Drawings and paintings can also be printed to textile surfaces. Panels for the banner could be made with specific community groups such as school students, church group members or retirement village residents.
About the artists
Leonie Andrews, Domenic Bahmann, Louise Cook, Louise Curham, Lynne Flemons, Gina Kikos, Nathan J Lester, Rebecca Shaefer, Susan Wiscombe, Barak Zelig and others
Leonie Andrews is a visual artist working in a range of media including stitch and print making. The movement of her hand and the gestures it makes on a surface either by stitching or drawing are central to her practice of observing and responding to the to textures and objects she sees around her.
Since completing her studies at the Australian National University School of Art, Leonie has exhibited her work in both solo and group exhibitions. She has been a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize (2019), the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Art Award, the Gold Coast Art Prize and the Goulburn Art Award. In 2016 Leonie was awarded an Asialink Visual Arts Residency in Tokyo.
Domenic Bahmann (1981) is a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer. He is born in Munich, Germany and lives and works in Canberra, Australia since 2010. He is known for his whimsical illustrations, photography, and graphic design. In 2013 he started his creative challenge called 'Stop, Think, Make'. The challenge was to come up with a creative everyday-related image or illustration at least once a week. Since then finding art in everyday situations has been an ongoing theme in his personal and commission based work.
Louise Cooke is a nature inspired mixed media artist and has lived on Ngunnawal country for most of her life. Louise has exhibited locally and her artwork is inspired by the beauty found in nature, paying homage to the landscape with a focus on flowers, birds, waterways and mountains infused with a spiritual connection.
Louise Curham (1971) uses her art and her expertise as an archivist to explore how old media can help us understand our current predicaments in the face of climate change and late capitalism. Louise has a background in film, experimental film, film performance and photography. She trained in film and visual art as well as archives and heritage.
Lynne Flemons is a Canberra based artist who spent much of her life in regional and outback NSW. She has an interest in cultural and natural landscapes and land use practices. In her art practice Lynne draws and paints specific places that have personal and cultural significance. This approach involves drawing and walking on site and researching an area to develop an awareness of its geography and land use, current and often historic. Her paintings are further developed in her studio at M16 Artspace in Griffith. Recent solo exhibitions include Pink trees and lilac clouds at Zinc Contemporary, Seattle and Painting the Walk at Weswal Gallery, Tamworth. Lynne has been Artist-in-Residence at Serlachius Museum, Finland, Ballinglen Art Foundation, Ireland and many other locations including Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery, Tasmania. Her work is held in public and private collections both in Australia and internationally. Lynne has a BA (Visual) and returned to complete her studies at ANU attaining a MPhil (Visual) in 2016.
Gina Kikos enjoys photography and developing her technical and aesthetic skills building her ability to capture the beauty and diversity of both our built and natural environment. Gina takes photos while walking, and she celebrates taking nothing away from the environment other than photos and memories. A part of her interest is to research flora, fauna, and history of things that she photographs to discover more about her surroundings which adds to the excitement of engaging with her world. She enjoys the challenge of taking photos of objects and scenes from an unexpected and unique perspectives to bring fresh ways of seeing our surroundings and the things in it. Gina’s work is celebrated - shown by ABC TV in their weather photos section of the News, exhibited at Belconnen Arts Centre for their PLACE exhibition and a photo was used in a collage streamed behind Icehouse in a concert at NMA to open “The Great Southern Lands” exhibition. Gina also makes glass art (hand cut – kiln formed) and uses her photos of animals as inspiration.
Nathan J Lester (1976) is a Canberra born and raised artist. He has lived his whole life in the Tuggeranong valley. He studied photography and worked in traditional photographic medium for many years along with alternative processes such as cyanotypes and anthotypes. His practice also extends to paintings and sculpture but largely derived from his photographic works. Nathan is inspired by the world around him, the people he meets and things people keep hidden. His work explores the play between light and dark and themes of identity, gender, perception and society addiction to devices. Nathan’s work has been shown in Canberra and Sydney and has participated in a group exhibition in New York.
Rebecca Schaefer is a lifelong resident of Tuggeranong and is passionate about the history and the stories of the valley region. As a recent Diploma of Visual Arts graduate, Rebecca has taken to utilising significant amounts of experimentation and mixed media elements to add to the tactile and sensory elements of her pieces. While Rebecca often works with abstraction, her recent work has been in creating more realistic depictions by documenting places and moments in the region that we would usually never notice or give a second glance in more tradition printmaking methods.
Susan Wiscombe Tasmanian born, Susan grew up amongst a rugged landscape, where the rhythms of life are omnipresent. The ebb and flow of warmth and coolness, light and darkness maintain equilibrium in all living things. Susan’s aim is to evoke atmosphere, mysticism and elusiveness while referencing the natural phenomena of space and light. Susan is drawn to glass for its duplicitous qualities. Like the land and sea scapes of this distant South Island, glass can be beautiful yet treacherous and has qualities of strength and, yet fragile to human intervention. Susan delves into philosophical juxtapositions found in the natural world by creating works that drift between an aesthetic that is suggestive of a mood or emotion and forms that may be imaginary or based on known, but not always recognised natural structures. In turn this leads to the creation of curious and at times whimsical works. Susan graduated from the ANU in 2019, awarded 2 EASS prizes – Alliance Francaise Exhibition Award and - Chutespace M16. She has also exhibited in Craft ACT Members exhibition, Belconnen Arts – Traces -sold 3 pieces, Queanbeyan Art society 1st prize and a 4th.
Barak Zelig is a printmaker and sculptor.
Barak has participated in many solo and group exhibitions in Australia and overseas exhibiting prints, drawings, photos, and sculptures. Barak uses found objects to create small sculptures and steel to create large sculptures. He is interested in hybrids, illusion, and the unexpected. Barak participated in sculpture exhibitions such as Sculpture for Clyde, Sculpture @ Show Canberra Murrumbateman, North Sydney Art Prize, Sculpture Bermagui, Lake Light Jindabyne, Hidden Rookwood Sydney, Yarra Valley Arts/ Yerring Station Sculpture Melbourne, Sculpture in the Valley, and Contour 556/18 Canberra. Barak won the 2014 Re-Use Award Clearwater Prize Queanbeyan, the 2018 Staff Choice Award and the 2019 Staff Choice Award, and the 2019 Commended Award respectively in Hidden Sculptures Rookwood. He also won prizes for 2-dimensional works. In 2013 Barak was commissioned to create a stainless sculpture as a gift for the Canberra Centenary.

How to Create a Minimalist Greek Room
Minimalist Greek Room when it comes to decorating a room, nothing says "It must be Greek!" More often than not, this style is based on the Cycladic aesthetic. In this article, we'll discuss Cycladic style, marble, plaster casts, and the "less is more" philosophy. This will help you create a minimalist Greek room. But be careful! You'll want to accessorize sparingly! Here are some tips to help you decorate your Greek room with style! Minimalist Greek Room
Marble
Maria Vidali was born in 1977 in Athens, Greece, and studied architecture at the University of Portsmouth. In 1999, she graduated with honors. In 2002, she earned a postgraduate diploma in architectural design from Kingston University in London, and a Master's degree in History and Philosophy of Architecture from Cambridge University. In 2011, she completed her PhD in Landscape and Village Settlements from the University of Thessaly. She has also taken courses on furniture design.
Marble The marble coffee table is handmade from a piece of white marble from the Vathy marble quarries in Tinos. The piece is hammered with a special sculptor's tool and then structured in two traditional craftsmen's workshops on the island. A collaboration with artists led to the creation of this beautiful piece of art. The craftsmanship of the Tinian craftsmen has been praised for its unique aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Marble To achieve the look, keep things simple and uncluttered. Minimalist Greek design focuses on simplicity. Unadorned accessories have hints of the ancient Greek key pattern. Sun-lit door panels celebrate the local white marble and its veining. A reproduction of a Greek sculpture sits atop a marble mantel. A marble column lamp shines from a nearby reading chair. Marble is one of the most popular colors for interior design. Plaster casts There is no better place to exhibit plaster casts than in a minimalist Greek room. In the late 19th century, plaster casts were relatively inexpensive, and they also added instant cache to a room. They were a popular addition to the collections of new American museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago both gave plaster casts prominent positions within their collections, and the Portland Museum of Arts scattered them throughout classrooms and galleries. The Portland Museum of Art's collection was made up mainly of 200 plaster casts.
Plaster casts In the 16th century, an Italian collector named Leone Leoni gathered a vast collection of casts, including many of the best-known works from the time. He also collected contemporary sculpture and antique pieces. In the 18th century, his private collection was still modest, but the plaster casts had become popular as decorative objects. Today, they are common features in minimalist Greek rooms. The history of plaster casting is rich and fascinating.
Plaster casts Plaster casting is an important part of ancient Greek and Roman art. The ancient Greeks used the technique for the creation of statues, including the Parthenon. They also used the by-products of the process as models for copying and practice. The technique made it easier for artists to replicate a design, and the plaster casts were preserved as separate art objects. This technique is also used in the creation of architectural decoration, which is especially common in Greece.
Plaster casts Cycladic aesthetic Creating a minimalist Greek room is a great way to evoke the island culture without resorting to a traditional theme. The Cycladic aesthetic has long roots dating back to 3200 BC, and was embodied in the figurines of the time. This ancient aesthetic focuses on the bare essence of objects and forms, and emphasizes purity and simplicity. The bare essence is expressed in the contrasting rough and smooth textures, such as the rough built-in bench in the breakfast area and colorful pillows on the bed. Cycladic aesthetic Using traditional folktools such as the wooden trays with mesh for pasteli cooking are also part of the Cycladic aesthetic. Small wooden trays with a mesh inserted into them hold traditional pottery or porcelain. Other Cycladic features found in the rooms include "parathoures" - small recessed storage units carved into the white rock. The rooms of Consta's hotel are minimalist yet functional. Creating a Cycladic-inspired room is easy if you know where to look. Greek villas have a special place in the Mediterranean tradition of interior design, and homes in the Cyclades have always exemplified aesthetic minimalism and elegant laconic forms. For example, a new designer's villa in Mykonos incorporates a Cycladic aesthetic with modern design. Other notable examples include the OKU Hotel in Kos, which is decorated with Mediterranean plants and natural materials to create a modern interpretation of the classic Greek rural buildings while still offering supreme comfort. Cycladic aesthetic Less-is-more philosophy The Greeks practiced the "less-is-more" philosophy of design. The Cyclades are a stunning example of Cycladic minimalism, and their style evolved in the aftermath of natural disasters. During the Santorini volcano eruption, for example, locals began building their cave homes from concrete, rather than wood. Using a white color, these cave homes reflect the sun, keeping the interiors cool. The idea of minimalism is not a fashionable 21st century trend, and it has roots in ancient Greek philosophy. In fact, its values have their origins in numerous religious streams. Listed below is a selection of minimalist quotes. These quotes highlight the importance of intentional living, which goes beyond minimizing material possessions. This article may contain affiliate links and has a disclaimer policy.
Less-is-more philosophy Modernist architecture The Parthenon is one of the most famous and celebrated architectural structures in the world. It has inspired many architects, including Le Corbusier, who visited the Athenian Acropolis for 12 days in 1911. He declared himself astounded by the structure and doubtful of his own abilities. Nonetheless, he drew inspiration from it and incorporated it into his designs. In this minimalist Greek room, he uses his favorite aspects of the Parthenon to add flair to the interiors. 'The Modernist' is a boutique hotel in Greece that combines art deco details with modernist aesthetics. The hotel features 40 private rooms and a series of public spaces, all designed in a minimalist way. The hotel also celebrates local culture by sourcing local materials and artisanal workmanship for all of its furnishings and lighting. A visit to this boutique hotel is a luxurious, seamless experience for the discerning traveler.
Modernist architecture 'Modernist' architecture is a favorite among many contemporary designers and architects. The simple lines and shapes, clean space, and clean materials evoke calm and beauty. Whether you're looking to design a minimalist Greek room, a modern minimalist style is a great way to achieve this. You can find minimalist Greek style decor online, or shop around for a modern minimalist home. If you're not sure where to start, check out the Tschumi Museum in Athens. Parthenon It would be great to have a small piece of the Parthenon in your room, but where do you find such a piece? There are many options. One great option is a Perseus Parthenon frieze page. These photos are available on Reed computers only, but they're worth the look if you're looking for a modern room design in the city. Here are a few of them: Tschumi museum: The Tschumi museum pays subtle homage to the famous Doric landmark. With a black fritted glass facade, this museum provoked fierce debate among locals. It's not just about modern architecture, however, as the museum seeks to save the sculpture from the Acropolis and convince the British government to return the artifacts. It's worth noting that the Tschumi museum is only half finished, though.
Parthenon Pericles directed the building program. He selected three top professionals to collaborate on the project: Ictinus, Callicratus, and Phideas. Phideas personally created the gold and ivory sculpture of the city goddess, Parthenos. He also produced various sculptural groupings and oversaw the work of an army of artists. The Parthenon was completed in a decade, and is still a stunning architectural piece. The Parthenon frieze was an impressive 160-foot-long mural of sculpture. The frieze was used to store votive gifts to the gods. These sculptures date from 446-440 BC. In fact, the east side metopes depict Gigantomachy, while the west end depicts the Amazonomachy. There are also many other parts of the Parthenon that are more obscure, but this is a good start.

Pebelle brings the art of tie-dyeing back and takes it to a new level of amazing. Mixing old techniques with new ones, outfits are transformed into magical combinations with rad designs. The brand, along with its pieces, prides itself on being completely unique it its styles, incorporating aspects of nature and the world around us into each individual garment. Believing mass-production would take away from its appeal and it’s exclusivity of each clothing’s design, Pebelle sticks with its methodology, creating one piece at a time.
Tell me about Pebelle’s one-line “Re-think Tie Dye!”
Elle UK magazine used it to describe my work in one of the first features they did with my items. I loved this sentence right away as it describes the intent I had to take this old technique and blow new life into it.
I understand you use traditional tie dye techniques in addition to ones you’ve developed in your garments. Can you talk about some of the ones you’ve come up with or are they Top Secret?
Well, my techniques are top secret. Every pattern I create is unique, so there's no way to protect my work. So, I simply don't talk about what I am doing. The only thing I can tell is that I look at the dyeing process from the other way round and take a peek at the main principles of printing, then mix it all together in a non-scared manner. And, nothing is safe not to be used.
How did you first become interested in tie-dyeing?
I studied textile at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria and we had a dyeing workshop. We dyed everything we could think of: wood shavings, shuttlecocks, etc. One of us brought stockings along. The outcome was so exciting that we decided to do a whole weekend with just dyeing tights and stockings......that was 9 years ago and I resumed it.
So what made you decide to develop an entire label around this aesthetic?
It was love at first sight- no need to explain that further- everyone knows how that feels.
Tell me more about the anarchistic attitude that goes into Pebelle.
I do create this certain attitude with not following specific dyeing rules. My dye supplier that I'm always buying from and use as a consultant when it comes to technical questions, well his neck hair nearly stood up as I told him I am mixing my own colors. The colors I use come as pigments, and you can get every facet you can imagine... so mixing is something you just don't do. After years of dyeing I have come to realize that this anarchistic attitude of mixing the dyes creates a new look as well, as I get lots of kaleidoscopic effects.
You’re creations are inspired by urban atmospheres, right?
I am inspired by urban atmospheres as much as by natural phenomena. Wherever I look when I leave the house, I see colors and patterns that impress me. For example, as I was in LA last summer, waiting for my friend to leave the house, I discovered these beautiful patterned leaves in his garden and the thought hit me to do a line with these. That's when the collection "A Forest" formed in my brain. The idea developed until I was at a point where I knew I wanted to do a camouflage for all kinds of surroundings. I started with the forest, we had a wonderful shooting in the summer and it worked out great; the model got totally lost in the under wood. The biggest compliment was as a butterfly came to sit down on one of my dyed silk scarves. And it had exactly the same color as the scarf! Right now I am in the process of creating the same for an urban surrounding. I do collect images of walls, redo them with tie dye on dresses, shirts, and will soon have a shooting with people wearing my items in front of these walls. Future prospects are to do it in the sea, in the sky, and so on.......a never ending story- maybe I'll make a book with it one day.
Any other sources of inspiration for your pieces?
Anything can be a source of inspiration, for me interaction with other people is a big field of inspiration, so I do love to sit in cafes and watch people pass by. Plus, I am a passionate reader; a lover of art; a fan of music, musicians, and music videos; and last but not least, I do enjoy films. All of it offers a variety of imprints they leave in my mind.
So, each piece is unique and created by hand?
Yes, totally.
What advantages and disadvantages go along with this?
A lot of my customers like the idea that the designer themself has had his/her hands on an item; a precious knowledge in days of huge factories filled with people working under slavery conditions. I think more and more people re-think their attitude towards shopping. In your previous question you have already mentioned another advantage, being unique. I wouldn't be able to create my own, typical patterns if I wouldn't do hand-work. I kept going through possibilities of re-creating items in large numbers, but came to realize that these patterns would get lost. Now every item is like a miniature-tableau, showing new details every time you look at it. This is why a tie-dye style pair of H&M leggings won't have the same effect on you. It's manufactured differently. Creating by hand can also turn into a disadvantage when it comes to produce big numbers. But to be honest, first of all I want my works to stay exclusive and secondly I'm sure I find a way (to say it with Joe Cocker's words: "With a little help from my friends") if the order to dress 10,000 people comes up.
Where can your latest creations be seen or purchased?
Right now my items can be bought and seen in various shops in Vienna, and exclusively in shops in Germany or Great Britain. In America you either have to head out to New Jersey, were Dahl Collection has a selection of Leggings or you just simply drop by my ETSY store. I do play with the idea of an own online shop but am not settled yet. There's a full stock list on my homepage, plus a link to all websites that show my items and even sell them. My items will be featured inside a fashion book that will be published worldwide in various languages in spring. Plus, I am fulfilling the dream of my life in June, which is a big blast for my pride and maybe for my career as well. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to talk about it right now, but it will be seen all over America.
So, what performing artists and designers have you collaborated with?
So far I have worked on creating textiles for British designer Emma Bell's SS10 collection and with the Austrian men's wear label SUPERATED on their SS11 Alleatory collection. I created a line of scarves and hosiery for men to go with their items. I did work with Fan Death, they used my hosiery for their European tour last year and collaborated on costumes with the finish Electro singer Kississings for her music video "Anything u want" or for the Los Angeles based band VUM, were I dressed Ballet dancers for a great video they shoot in the Joshua Tree desert- this video is not published yet but will soon be out. Other musicians that wear my hosiery are: Monique Maion from Brazil, Brilliant Pebbles, and Pure Magical Love from Chicago, US or Apache Beat, NY. Right now I do create T-Shirts for a hot and upcoming Indie Band "The Jamborines”. They are based in Switzerland but actually in possess of a lead singer from California, who lived in Seattle for a while, so Seattle is going to be their first stop when heading to the US in April watch out for them!
Any memorable moments to speak of?
I was very taken aback as I received the message that Whoopi Goldberg popped into a store in Vienna and bought one of my leggings. She had been in town for the Life Ball. And, I just recently sent a very important email, asking for my items to be used on-screen, somewhere huge. And a) there was an answer b) the answer was positive and c) they were so nice. This is going to be a big step for me. 2011 here we go!
So, what’s a definite plus when it comes to collaborating with others?
The interaction, the bonding of two individual lines with their own attitude - it's like with a recipe: mix two really good ingredients together and the result with be brilliant. Collaborating always creates something totally new, something a label wouldn't have managed on its own. I am glad it happens a lot lately.
But, what’s great about standing on your own and coming out with a garment or collection that’s “all you”?
It makes me proud. I live my dream. Pebelle is like a child for me. I care for her, am responsible for her, and try to bring her up. I am glad I haven't left it with the idea, but really created some attention.

Best of the Indies: Week of February 13th, 2019
Gideon Falls #11 - Andrea Sorrentino, Jeff Lemire, Dave Stewart and Steve Wands
There aren’t too many words I can say other than… this was unsettling.
Main characters Father Fred and Norton Sinclair enter the doorway to the mysterious Black Barn at separate points in the world and end up in the same place. Confronted by the original Norton Sinclair, a man who appears to have been visited by the entity of the barn, the issue is a roller coaster.
It’s hard to describe what happens if one hasn’t read any of the prior issues, but even then, finding context is hard. The art tells a story of sheer eldritch horror, utilizing intense reds to mask the incomprehensible nature of the rest of the barn that isn’t the workshop that the characters wind up in. The inks feel as if they’re bleeding off of the page and even make the lettering for sound effects horrifying. There aren’t words for the anguish on our main characters faces as they gaze upon the visage of… The Smiling Man.
I honestly had to put down the book because everything felt so… wrong. It was disturbing and dark in the way that only Sorrentino could capture with his particular style and the Smiling Man’s face will haunt my dreams. With such a simple design, so much fear can be elicited and I loved every second of it. I thought The Hulk had scary moments, but it has intense competition with Gideon Falls and you should read it, without a doubt.
---------------------------------------------------
I should commit more time to reviewing independent titles because so many of them are awesome and I get burned out by the time the weekend hits, but this issue was just too damn good.
Runner Up: Oblivion Song #12 - Robert Kirkman, Lorenzo de Felici, Annalisa Leoni and Rus Wooton
This final issue in the arc of Nathan Cole sees him restoring the lost area of Philadelphia that was sent to Oblivion because of his brother Ed bac t its proper place, leaving Ed back in Oblivion where he felt more at home than in the normal world. We see the fallout of every characters particular arcs in very heartfelt and melancholic scenes.
Nathan himself chooses to face the consequences of his actions as he was one of the scientists that initiated the detonation that brought the alien world to Earth in the first place. His final acts being to apologize to his brother for trying to integrate him back to the world, giving him his teleportation belt and going back to normal Philly to be arrested. It’s a fitting ending given that his entire character arc has been one of redemption for his mistake.
Lorenzo de Felici’s character art might be some of the best it has been so far. Faces and body language are expressive and distinct, with probably some of the best wrinkles I’ve seen in a while. Leoni’s coloring helps to set every scene with warm tones for the more heartfelt reunions and moments and cool colors for everything even slightly sad or remorseful. There’s also a last page stinger with a sharp green tone that sets the stage for future issues and I am especially excited.
Oblivion Song hasn’t had a bad issue since it started and has remained one of my favorite ongoing stories. I’m glad the Nathan Cole arc finished in a great way and can’t wait to see what the rest of this world has to offer.

Missing Links: Turning the Research-Industry Nexus into Commercial Gold
Event Date: Monday 16 February 2015
The traditional function of universities is to develop and disseminate the body of knowledge. This is done via research and teaching. Research occurs across the spectrum from blue-sky, fundamental pursuits to addressing specific problems. Research findings are disseminated in a variety of ways such as academic publishing, patenting, industry collaborations, students entering the workforce, start-up companies and workshops.
This free event provides a rare opportunity for the research, business, government and investor communities to come together and engage on this pressing national issue.
Our participants bring to the panel a range of perspectives on the research-industry nexus and many of the issues surrounding research engagement and translation. As recognised leaders in their fields they are influential in effecting change in policy and practice:

SOGLIOLE
“Sogliole” is a two-week workshop which has taken place at ISIA Urbino, led by Patrick Lacey from Åbäke and the English artist Ben Cain. A close observation, during the first week, of the concept of “threshold”, followed by a short concept video, have been instrumental to design a collective book during the second week of work. The class has been split in seven different groups and each of them had to explain and develop its own idea to be included in the book, using differently coloured pages.
210 mm x 297 mm
Supervisors: Patrick Lacey and Ben Cain

Beginning to think about working in or with institutions in the Middle East and South Asia can be a daunting prospect but one which does offer huge benefits in terms of curating your institution’s ‘Islamic’ collections. This session aims to be a practical ‘how to’ guide, and includes speakers with considerable experience in this area, who will share their understanding of the challenges and benefits from the perspective of their own work. The workshop is divided into three sessions:
· Where to begin? What are the opportunities and the practicalities of organising your visit to the Middle East and South Asia? · Case studies on the benefits. How working or visiting the Middle East and South Asia can positively impact on the work carried out by you and / or your organisation in the UK. · Building your relationships with organisations in the Middle East and South Asia.
