in the email today (two emails from Australian-based art organizations)... Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 23:23:41 +0000 From: Gene Spill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Gene Spill online Gene Spill, a group exhibition involving the artists: Stephen Birch Bronia Iwanczak Isobel Johnston Michelle Nikou Suzanne Treister Philipa Veitch which took place at Imperial Slacks Gallery, Sydney, from 16 November - 2 December 2000, is now viewable online: http://ensemble.va.com.au/genespill Gene Spill is about our movement towards an age redefined by biotechnology: it is an investigation into the reconfigured realities created by genetically modified lifeforms and their interplay within the complex nexus of our ecosystem and our cultural/social beliefs and practices. Gene Spill explores the transgression of previous boundaries for a new taxonomy with different relational strategies in a language of morphology, mutation and fusion. *apologies for cross posting* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =============================================== From: "fineArt forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: fAf January: Pink Bits and Disappearing Prints in a fAf-LMJ special Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 19:48:10 +1000 Sincere apologies for cross posting ----------------------------------------------- Happy New Year, folks! Happy 10th Birthday, LMJ! fineArt forum kicks the New Year off in style, celebrating a decade of Leonardo Music Journal issues with a bumper fAf-LMJ special. Be sure to have a read of our feature article, 'Ten Years of Leonardo Music Journal' by Nicolas Collins (LMJ's Editor in Chief) - a thoughtful insight into the publication's inception, growth and development. Other highlights in January include the launch of Australian artist Di Ball's fAf solo exhibition: 'Pink Bits Digifrot', a new work that has Di exploring and mapping her own flesh by drawing, sketching, and using digital devices to record her "bits" in search of her identity. Adopting the same philosophy as the Quechua Indians of South America, who "believe that we move through life backwards, our faces to the past we know, the future glimpsed over our shoulders," Ball describes her work as self referential rather than self portraiture: "It maps and moves on," she explains. "I scan, photograph, touch, document and project. I am a large person. This is a large project. It may never end," Ball says. Also featured in fAf's January e-zine South African artist Marcus Neustetter's article which focuses on New Media art and its place in its local art scene. Detailed listings of the latest events and opportunities, reviews, online exhibitions and global links are sure to please. Ronald Warunek gets inspired by complexity in 'Fugitive and Archival: The Disappearing Print and the Drawing Left Behind', while Darren Guglielmetti discovers the ultimate coffee table companion for tech-heads in his review of 'Robo sapiens: Evolution of a new species' by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio. fAf, which provides up-to-date, informative and timely information to the global art and technology community, also assists artists in achieving local and global exposure via our galleries and global connections. Special thanks go to Patricia Bentson, Managing Editor of Leonardo, for coordinating the January edition with us. -------------------------------- The latest art and technology news on the net can be viewed at fineArt forum's Australian based URL: http://www.cdes.qut.edu.au/Fineart_Online/ Or elsewhere at: http://www.fineartforum.org To subscribe to the fAf digest, go to: http://www.fineartforum.org/aboutus/subscrip.html "This project has been assisted by the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body." http://www.ozco.gov.au
