From January until July, Tape Projects are occupying Frame, a window in the Platform art space suited perfectly to the kind of noisy, flickery work we do. Set back from the main corridor of windows, in the dark, quiet nook next to the Degrave Street stairs, Frame is a platform on which to experiment with new ideas and showcase the work of a myriad of temporal artists from Melbourne and beyond.

2. Call for expressions of interest in Next Wave Project 2010

From Clare Rae:
“Along with Victoria Bennett, I'm currently organising a project for the 2010
Next Wave Festival, to take place in Melbourne in May, 2010.

We are proposing to create a project that directly engages with ideas around
feminism, specifically challenging the idea that we are in a ‘post-feminist’
climate thus rendering such investigations redundant. At a time when ‘post’
pre-empts feminism, feminist artists need to create complex work that
balances political themes and contemporary aesthetics. This project sets
itself apart from previous exhibitions by introducing a new young feminist
perspective to the Melbourne community, one that incorporates varied and
conflicting visual and textual strategies.

The outcome of this project will involve eight artists and eight writers,
and will take the form of an exhibition, and a catalogue/book. Our
exhibition will highlight a broad cross-section of emerging artists working
in a feminist context.

As our project is primarily concerned with emerging artists and writers, to
adhere the Next Wave guidelines we are specifically looking at artists aged
30 and under.”

To express interest in this project please contact Clare or Victoria, by early next week:
vicgbennett@gmail.com

RMIT Media Arts is pleased to present our annual 2008 gradate screening. Situated within the School of Art, Media Arts embodies many different ways of exploring moving image culture through the lens of contemporary art practice and represents works from a range of activities and outcomes including: traditional and non-traditional animation; video art; narrative and live performance. Typically cross disciplinary in nature, students come to Media Arts from a variety of art practices and bring with them a rich combination of ideas and techniques, blurring the distinctions of art, popular culture, and the moving image.

3. Australian Landscapes – Eugenia Lim, THIS FRIDAY 28-11-08, KINGS ARI, 6pm
http://tapeprojects.org/files/images/Australian_Landscapes.JPG

Australian Landscapes explores the shifting social and geographic terrain of Greater Melbourne. Referencing Peter Weir’s 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', Australian Landscapes documents the shift in our sense of place and belonging from the bush to the suburbs. Self-portraits and video capture Eugenia as a blonde-wigged multicultural Miranda, a ghost of Australia past and present, lost not in the wilderness of Hanging Rock, but in the highways, pokie venues, living spaces and new developments that increasingly shape our landscape.

28 November Until 20 December 2008
Opening: Friday, November 28, 2008 at 6:00pm
Location: KINGS Artist Run Initiative
Street: 1/171 King Street
