Message from the

Minister for the Arts

It’s been another eventful and diverse month for me as Arts Minister, announcing rugby league player Scott Prince as a co-winner of the inaugural kuril dhagun Prize, welcoming new CEO Suzanne Miller to the Queensland Museum and revealing the first Super Star Fund recipient.

exclusive of Romeo and Juliet in 2014. This world-class production will star dancers Tamara Rojo and Carols Acosta and feature the choreography of the late Sir Kenneth MacMillan, one of the world’s leading choreographers.

My congratulations to Queensland Ballet for winning this funding.

This week I will attend another cultural highlight, the Bolshoi Ballet’s production of Le Corsaire, and launch the Queensland Music Festival 2013 program.

Queensland certainly is a great state of the arts.

Earlier this month I also attended a lunch organised by Creative Partnerships Australia and Queensland Theatre Company, sponsored by Brisbane Airport Corporation. It was a great opportunity to get business and arts folk in the same room to see how we can work together to build more arts and culture into our lives. I’m looking forward to being part of more great initiatives like this one.

Queensland’s Ballet’s

Romeo and Juliet

first to tap Super Star Fund One of the most exciting dance productions ever staged will leap into Queensland next year, supported by the Queensland Government’s Super Star Fund.

Li Cunxin said: “Kenneth MacMillan was one of the world’s most highly regarded choreographers, and classical companies from around the world vie for the opportunity to stage MacMillan’s works with his Romeo and Juliet widely considered the best in the world.”

An exclusive season of Romeo and Juliet delivered by the Queensland Ballet and featuring internationallyacclaimed dancers Tamara Rojo and Carlos Acosta is the first Super Star project to become a reality.

“This is a true honour for our state ballet company. Audiences can enjoy a world-class production while our state ballet company will benefit from a unique and exclusive partnership,” he said.

Arts Minister Ian Walker and Queensland Ballet’s Artistic Director Li Cunxin made the announcement last week.

Romeo and Juliet will be at Queensland Performing Arts Centre between 27 June and 5 July 2014, and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the work’s creation and the 450th anniversary of the Shakespearean play.

“This is a major coup for our state,” Mr Walker said. “The Super Star Fund is a $3 million dollar commitment over four years to bring international stars to our own backyard.

“This famous production of Romeo and Juliet, choreographed by the late Sir Kenneth MacMillan, has never before been seen in Australia.”

Tickets will go on sale later in the year or visit Queensland Ballet http://www.queenslandballet. com.au/ for more information.

Tamara Rojo is an acclaimed Spanish ballerina and Artistic Director of the English National Ballet, while Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta is a principal guest artist with The Royal Ballet.

State Library

makes some noise State Library of Queensland got loud, funky and made a whole lotta noise when it launched this massive, multi-media event, Live!, on the 11 May with music, film screenings, sound installations, photograph displays and collections of musical curios.

Laurel Dingle, one of three of the curators, sounded stumped at first when asked about Live!

Queensland Band Culture because this multi-dimensional celebration is close to her heart and there’s so much to say.

are gaps. So, as well as being a showcase of the importance of music, Live! is also a collection drive. Memorabilia relating to culturally diverse music from the Asia Pacific, Greece and Africa are especially needed since the music of our migrants is integral to today’s culture.

“This exhibition is about Queensland bands and not just the famous ones. It digs deeper, looks at why ordinary people play in bands or support them,” Laurel says.

“In June we are organizing a Collection Box. People can come and show us their sheet music, old records, CDs, posters, photos, brochures, tickets, programs and even hard drives and digital stuff.

We will be on the spot to assess whether it is collectable.”

“Prior to the mid-20th century, people joined a band for the sake of their community. It was a bonding thing, a show of support.

In the ‘50s, jazz and rock’n’roll bands came to be about rebellion.

Paul Curtis, who manages iconic Queensland act Regurgitator, is chuffed about his involvement.

“We’ve pulled together items from the library’s collections but there 6

“I’ve managed Regurgitator for 20 years,” he says.

(formed 1919), the City of Brisbane Pipe Band (formed 1950) and the Queensland Irish Association Pipe Band (formed 1898).

“I got excited when I heard about the State Library’s archival happening about Queensland bands. I handed over all kinds of stuff and a series of posters I designed for Regurgitator. The nature of any history, particularly band history can be arbitrary and subjective. The music scene is so distorted by late nights, drugs, alcohol, individual preferences and ego. Everyone has their own perspective.

From May to August, SLQ will be hosting live performances from local bands, including Steve Towson, Last Chaos, The Mouldy Lovers, The Ragtag Band, and La Trav. Screenings of documentaries, dance classes, interactive exhibitions, talks, fashion, technology workshops, audiovisual displays and opportunities for popup performances where anyone can jam are also on the menu.

“I was contacted about two posters for records I’ve released. I told them about the tees and 150 posters I’ve designed. I handed in a box of CDs and 10 posters for the launch’s timeline wall. I’ve been given the opportunity to make an installation later in the year”.

On the ground floor are three venues, a jazz bar from the ‘30s and ‘40s and a rock music club with hundreds of posters up on the wall like Zoo. There’s also a screening, by interdisciplinary artist Sarah-Mace Dennis, who documents how Queensland music changed and was influenced by American servicemen.

Of all the fascinating curios exhibited, The Community Band’s Digital Story is one of Laurel’s favourites since she and a colleague produced this. There are interviews with instrumentalists from Excelsior Brass (formed in 1912) the St John Ambulance Concert Band – formerly the Brisbane Citizens Concert Band

Voices of the

homeless raised in song in inspiring album Music means different things to different people and increasingly many are calling on its therapeutic power.

Jonathan Welch’s Choir of Hard Knocks was one transformative program involving people living on the streets.

“Clearly, it has made a big impact helping the homeless to shake their demons,” she says.

“Now they all have plans. It’s been heartening to witness their commitment week after week. One didn’t even speak at first he was so switched off from the world. But each week he brought in reams of poem and these were turned into song.”

Recently, Mission Australia and QMusic, have trail blazed another.

This project paired homeless residents from Roma House, Mission Australia’s transitional residence for the homeless, with four of Queensland’s popular songwriters as mentors.

Two recipients of the Grant McLennan Memorial Fellowship Chris Dale (2008) and Danny Widdicombe (2010) as well as singer songwriter Talea Goold and Deb Suckling have all been mentors.

The idea behind the scheme was to give homeless people who suffer trauma and deprivation routinely on the streets the chance to tell their story, gain self-respect and be empowered by channeling their experiences into song.

“If you have music and expression in your life you can’t go wrong,” says Talea.

Martine Cotton, a project manager QMusic says Songs of Roma House “has been a fantastic program and has encouraged the participants to express themselves and communicate through music.

It’s been an incredible, moving experience for us”.

Talea who started writing songs herself as a means of selfexpression at the age of 15 says she loved sharing her passion for songwriting.

“It was wonderful to sit down and have input and give a listening ear to their ideas,” she says. “We had to get to know them and their backgrounds. Jamie really shone as a performer and surprised everyone in what he could do.

Deb Suckling showed them a few chords on guitar. The songs were so honest and heartfelt it was a pleasure to help.

“We recently launched the CD in the Visy Theatre of The Powerhouse. Jamie and Alex performed. It was beautiful hearing them on stage,” she says.

“We are seeking grants to do similar projects again but next time we want to grow the idea to be more inclusive and involve more people.”

“I would love to do it again.

Songwriting gave them all a focus, taking them out of the acute stresses in their lives. Alex Dirgham, Jamie Taylor and Wayne Duncan were the stayers.”

Martine says there have been many positive outcomes, not the least of which has been the participants’ growing confidence.

A swell of support Swell is a Queensland success story. In this thriving festival, 50 sculptures are installed along the beautiful foreshore of Currumbin Beach.

Now in its 11th year, Swell champions three-dimensional art. And, there is much on offer besides; artist talks, children’s workshops, twilight walks, master classes, great refreshments and all the buzz and thrum of alfresco bands.

“The Neumman Family, our founding patron, and Currumbin RSL sponsored us enough to pay the artists for the very first two-day exhibition. We set up the company as a not for profit organisation and scored pro-bono legal advice to set up artist agreements. We’ve had huge community support ever since.”

So what makes this event so popular with artists, visitors and sponsors and how do they manage their business so effectively?

Swell boasts numerous awards, attracts effusive publicity, has healthy sponsorship agreements, attendance figures of around 180,000 and enjoys strong support within the arts industry. They may have some lessons for others.

Attracting arts sponsorship in these fiscally awkward times is a tough call. Yet Edwards has brokered three-year and long-term sponsorships and manages to hold onto them. What are her tips for fundraising?

Natasha Edwards, who founded the event says: “We had no budget at first, only the grand idea of putting sculptures on the beach.”

Know in your head what you want to achieve then work backwards to achieve it, is her first piece of advice. “It also helps Swell is the air I breathe,” she says

“I sold a share portfolio and an old tinny so I could inject my own money.

“Have structures and systems in place to fall back on. Gather a broad base of financial sources 10

including philanthropic trusts, donations, funds from arts organizations and businesses.

“In-kind support is helpful too.

Lovely Platypus Graphics Printing has sponsored Swell by a part cash and part contra deal since year dot.

And some generous metalworking companies install sculptures for nothing. “l’ve learned to step back or step up when necessary. Making sponsorships work is about getting out of the office. Talking to people.

Going into schools.

“Rather than always up-sell in meetings, I ask questions to find out what’s important to them.

Sometimes, businesses want to cancel an arrangement. When this happens be gracious. Give them recognition anyway. Times change and they may resume support. I make it fun.

has to be paid and actioned before moving on.”

Jonathon Fisher, CEO of Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, explains that he supports Swell because the coastal setting creates such a dramatic backdrop for the sculptures and the Festival contributes a sense of place. Plus Natasha is a no nonsense type who sticks to her ideals.

“Social media is great to keep people in touch. After a meeting, I can post relevant photos or tweet. It’s instant communication.

Being transparent is important.

The advantages to sponsors are identified on our website.

“We also encourage artists to find sponsors. Whenever an artist finds one we reward that company through posting their logo on our website. “And I’m committed to writing funding submissions and, when I put something in writing, I deliver.”

“We like Natasha and Ruth’s clarity of purpose,” he says.

Favourite works from previous festivals include Glen Sanders, White Death.

and especially western opera, is not that popular in Guangzhou.

Involving kids in educational outreach is important. Children are our future audience.”

“QPAC has 25 years of experience and we learned such a lot from talking to staff,” she says.

QPAC’s children’s festival, Out of the Box, greatly impressed the company, as did QAGOMA’s 7th Asia Pacific Triennial exhibition and Children’s Art Centre.

“We were especially impressed by how the programming department divides into two. One section manages festivals and the other commercial programs, with the commercial arm supporting the festivals. We thought this a special idea.”

Rebecca Lamoin, QPAC’s Associate Director, Strategy, is thrilled about QPAC’s involvement with the Guangzhou Opera Company.

She thinks the recent visit by the company executive staff was invaluable for staff from both QPAC and Guangzhou as it generated an understanding and first-hand information about each other’s arts sector.

Chang says the company also went to visit Opera Queensland.

“It was great. The company does much community outreach and we want to do that here in our neighbourhood,” she says.

Rebecca explains that earlier in the year, John Kotzas, QPAC’s CEO went to Korea, Japan and China to broker relationships with flagship

Guangzhou Opera Company and QPAC have ambitious goals including the eventual commission of a joint Queensland and Guangzhou Opera. The next step though will be the co-signing of an official Letter of Intent. Rebecca is keeping her fingers crossed this will happen later in the year.

In 2004, Queensland and Guangdong signed a sister-state friendship agreement. QPAC’s developing relationship with Guangzhou Opera House builds strategically on this arrangement.

London, Moscow, Canada: Queensland Indigenous artists taking world by storm The work of seven esteemed Queensland artists - Fiona Foley, Brian Robinson, Christian Thompson, Danie Mellor, Vernon Ah Kee, Judy Watson and Richard Bell - is going global later in the year with support from Backing Indigenous Arts.

Fiona is not only giving the opening address at Origins but one of her works Vexed will be included in the associated exhibition. Vexed, a digital work is based on Germaine Greer’s publication On Rage and looks at Aboriginal traditional marriages and the disruption of Aboriginal society because of white men taking Aboriginal women.

“I’m really proud I’ve been invited to give the keynote address at Origins: Festival of Nations, a leading festival of Indigenous art, in London in October,” says artist Fiona Foley.

“Black cockatoos mate for life and there are big flocks out at Alice Springs. “Vexed” juxtaposes footage of their sheer beauty with a male aboriginal voice quoting from Greer’s text. A sound recordist is composing music to go with the imagery. When I give the keynote I’m going to wear black and red like a black cockatoo”.

“It’s a huge honour to be acknowledged like this internationally. I’ll be nervous for the first five minutes but will speak strongly.”

Fiona hasn’t decided on the content of her talk yet but says, ‘people do stereoptype Indigenous art and think it is all angry and political’.

Brian Robinson is ‘over the moon’ that around 12 of his prints from a recent exhibition Men and Gods at KickArts Contemporary Arts in Cairns are going on display at the Berlin Art Fair.

“I try and get round this and say it’s educational,” she says.

“After 15 years of showing work at a regional gallery I grabbed this opportunity with both hands,” he says.

“I love reading about early frontier history. Some of my work is related to hidden histories that the Australian public is not aware of.

I examine why white Australians hold particular views towards Aboriginal people and what these opinions are founded on.”

Sydney Gallery Director Michael Reid selected Brian’s work for the group landscape show because “his work is consistently museum quality”.

“I like the vision of gods and the mash up of the neo-classical with the popular art of Torres Strait Island in his piece,” Michael says.

“Curatorially, Christian Thompson, Danie Mellor and Robinson sit well together.”

Richard Bell’s artwork is set to feature at the fifth Moscow Biennale of contemporary art, while he joins Vernon Ah Kee in an exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada.

Their work will be exhibited alongside Albert Namatjira, Sydney Nolan, Margaret Preston, Russell Drysdale, Rover Thomas, John Olsen, Tracey Moffatt, Judy Watson, Gordon Bennett and many others.
