OUT OF THEIR TOMBS

IM-MACULATE

After two years of planning, Melbourne’s Riverlee and MONA’s DarkLab announce a new $5 million cultural and entertainment district for the centre of Hobart, to be known as ‘In the Hanging Garden’. Encompassing nearly an entire city block in the centre of Hobart, ‘In the Hanging Garden’ is a live music and cultural precinct opening to the public at 8pm on Wednesday 5 June, to coincide with the start of Dark Mofo 2019. After the festival concludes, the precinct will remain open and operated by DarkLab year-round, seven days a week. Awardwinning Fender Katsalidis Architects has designed this first stage development of the precinct with the Odeon Theatre at its heart, encompassing the renovated former Tattersall’s Hotel, and extensive outdoor dining, beer garden, and entertainment areas with food trucks, rotating pop-up kitchens with local businesses, and night markets.

T.S.O.YEAH The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra announces the second Louise Crossley Conducting Workshop, a conductor training opportunity for female conductors, will enable a maximum of 6 participants to benefit from an intensive workshop with Elena Schwarz, Associate Conductor of the TSO, and an opportunity to work through repertoire with two pianists.

RAGE AGAINST...SOMETHING. Em Rusciano is back with her biggest theatre tour to date! The “Rage and Rainbows” Tour will see Em leave a trail of glitter across the country. This past year Em had a baby, turned 40, left a high-profile job and had a combined 45 minutes sleep. There’s been next-level rage. There’s also been love. More than a show, this is a festival! For anyone who’s felt furious, exhausted... but maintained a strong passion for sequins.

Em is unleashing the rage, rolling it in glitter, giving it an 8-piece band, costume changed and original songs co-written with Kate Miller-Heidke and partner Keir Nuttall. Get them here, learn all the words! The Rage and Rainbows Tour hits the Federation Concert Hall in Hobart on

ART Nic Orme .................................

Australia’s most revered pop artist of the new millennium, Dami Im, is set to bring her show to Festival of Voices. Concertgoers can expect to see something special in Dami’s live show; an array of hit singles, fan favourites from X Factor and the international Eurovision smash, Sound of Silence.

Dami Im has amassed a multitude of hits and achievements during her relatively short career. The Korean born singer and musician first came to national prominence when she won The X Factor in 2013. Dami walked off The X Factor stage victorious and strode, without delay, into the #1 spot on the ARIA charts with her platinum self-titled album Dami Im. You can see Dami on Tuesday July 9 at the Theatre Royal, tickets are available now.

In their 10th year since conception, Disentomb now stands as one of the most unique and commanding bands in modern death metal. The pursuit of unrelentingly brutal death metal has lead them down a dark and twisted path and into a unique sound completely unlike their beginnings, combining lacerating energy with a bleak dissonance that embodies a focused sonic malice like no other. Following on from 2010’s Sunken Chambers of Nephilim and 2014’s breakout Misery, the band’s long-awaited third album The Decaying Light featured 13 tracks of doomed out brutality, undoubtedly their most accomplished and suffocating work to date. With any new album, comes a tour.

The Decaying Light tour hits Australia in July, with only one Tasmanian stop, at The Brisbane Hotel in Hobart on Saturday July 27.

QUARTER POUNDER Emerging from one of the eddies in the independent undercurrent of Brisbane’s 90s music scene, the past 2.5 decades have been of ceaseless re-inventive spirit, playing with form and flux, the affection of self-parody, ever ambling a rickety bridge of modus vivendi, all bagged up with an effervescent outsider enthusiasm that has never left their skin.

And now Regurgitator have reached the quarter century mark with a fully blown visually rehabilitated retrospective of a show straddling a holographic hyperbole of antiquated technology, trawling the analogue back through the digital.

DARK TIMES Dark Mofo is and has been one of the key elements in the changing face of Tasmanian arts and culture; unlike anything anywhere else in Australia, it embraces- rather than shying awayfrom the cold and heady dark of a Tassie winter.

Although the two and a half week festival has been widely welcomed as a unique and interesting addition to the growing Tasmanian arts calendar- folks flocking from the mainland in droves (between 430,000 and 450,000 attended the festival in 2017, a number that went up by about 150,000 heads from the previous year)some of the ‘pagan’ elements disturb religious figures in the community. The Australian Christian Lobby started a petition to ask MPs to stop funding the “dark tourism”, feeling that the festival celebrates a ‘worship of darkness’.

Google Maps informs me there’s about 233 churches in Tasmania, so I don’t imagine they’re quite being run out of town on a rail just yet.

Grounds. Missing or Dead is part of Tasmanian Aboriginal artist Gough’s Tense Past (at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery), an interrogation of the effects of past and present colonial action. Missing or Dead is a memorial to one-hundred and eighty children stolen or lost during the early colonial years of the island.

Paul Yore - It’s All Wrong but It’s Alright Wednesday June 19 – Sunday June 23, 3–8pm Black Temple Gallery

Free after 8pm nightly, the Feast hearkens back to the Viking age longhouses, medieval mead halls and the great rooms of manor houses; a good old-fashioned communal feasting experience without the cholera. Food and drinks are prepared by local chefs and artisans, with a focus on locally-made produce, such as McHenry Gin, whose distillery sits on Mount Arthur on the Tasman Peninsula. Every year, Winter Feast promises a night of gloriously gluttonous (though reasonably affordable, helpfully) decadence; good booze, food, sweets and live music to help warm the icy nights.

Japanese artist Saeborg creates a colourful, vaguely sinister yet comic latex world within the Avalon Theatre, where giant pigs give birth to human-sized piglets, livestock pal around an inflatable farmyard and animal husbandry is brought to bloody, disturbing life.

Compost Exhibition Wednesday June 19– Sunday June 23, 2–8pm Old Hobart Blood Bank & Merchant Store Featuring artists of various disciplines- Hayden Fowler, Georgia Lucy, Red Slyme Incubator (Hannah Hallam-Eames + Samuel Jackson), Loren Kronemyer and Caitlin FranzmannCompost explores just that: rot, mess, transformation. There will also be a series of lecture performances on Saturday June 15th, 2-4pm.

Why not, then, take advantage of the state’s reputation? Why not go out and be invigorated by the cold, rather than hide from it, experiencing the creative medley of the festival’s carefully curated art, music, live performance and everything in between? Still plenty of things to see and do during the second week of the festival.

Winter Feast Wednesday June 19 – Sunday June 23 Princes Wharf 1

Saeborg Wednesday June 19–Sunday June 23, 5–10pm Avalon Theatre

Naomi Blacklock - Limbic Resonance Wednesday June 19 – Sunday June 23, 5–10pm Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Dark Path

Yore will take residence of the Black Temple Gallery to create a “technicolour chapel in which to worship Dolly Parton and Justin Bieber, and other icons of love, sex and excess.” Yore’s vibrant, chaotically colourful and energetic may seem a stark contrast to many of the spookier or more darkly intense works on show during Dark Mofo, but holds a darkness all its own.

Kiku feat. Blixa Bargeld and Black Cracker Sunday June 23, 1pm Odeon Theatre

Naomi Blacklock will bring the spirit of the witch to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens; she’ll be using primal screams, meditative breathing and all sorts of rituals to explore the many and varied mythologies surrounding our ideas of witchcraft and ‘the witch’ in her intermittent performances as part of Dark Path.

Tony Albert - Confessions Until Sunday 14 July Contemporary Art Tasmania This will be visual artist Albert’s debut foray into performance art, where, in addition to his visual exhibition of the same name, he will quite literally play the pastor and take your confessions. Jot your worst sins and secrets onto paper be redeemed.

John Grant- Love is Magic Thursday June 20, 10pm Odeon Theatre

Dark Path: Julie Gough - Missing or Dead Until Sunday 23 June, open 24 hours a day Bushland, Queens Domain

Swiss dark electro-jazz trio Kiku will haunt the Odeon Theatre with German industrial noise artist Blixa Bargeld (who’s worked extensively with, among others, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and US multi-disciplinary artist Black Cracker, whose CV includes poetry (both slam and print), activism, video installation, direction and performance.

American singer-songwriter John Grant (formerly of rock act The Czars) brings his fifth and most recent solo record, Love is Magic, to the Odeon; the Iceland-based electro-pop balladeer’s latest album has been called “silly, smutty slice of arch brilliance that also makes room for quiet introspection.” (NME) LISA DIB

FIELD OF DREAMS

AUSSIE ELECTRO DUO ELECTRIC FIELDS HAVEN’T EVEN RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM YET, AND THEY’RE ALREADY ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER BANDS IN THE COUNTRY. ON THE STRENGTH OF THEIR 2016 EP INMA, THEY’VE BEEN ROCKETING AROUND THE NATION SHOWING OFF THEIR DISTINCTIVE SOUND AND UNIQUE COLLABORATIONS. VOCALIST ZAACHARIAHA FIELDING’S GORGEOUS, ANDROGYNOUS VOCALS COMBINE EFFORTLESSLY AND DELIGHTFULLY WITH KEYBOARDIST/PRODUCER MICHAEL ROSS’ EXPERT BEATS AND DROPS.

A lot of keen-eyed (and keen-eared) music fans might have spotted both Fielding and Ross as contestants on The X Factor: Fielding, when he was only nineteen, auditioned in 2011, where he wowed the judges with his rendition of Tracy Chapman’s Talkin’ Bout A Revolution; Ross auditioned in 2013, where he performed a stunning rework of Phil Collins’ You Can’t Hurry Love. It would only be a couple of years later that the two would kick off their electric journey together.

timeless book or a band we listened to growing up in the 90s. Learn the lessons dealt, and know ourselves so that we can achieve authenticity.

For us, we just whittle away at the song until it feels realised.”

As to be expected, the band will be heading out on their debut national tour. Despite slotting into heaps of the country’s best festivals, they’ve still yet to mount their own headlining event. But you’ll get your chance very soon!

One thing that has made Electric Fields stand out is Fielding’s use of his native tongue; he sings in Indigenous languages Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, as well as English- something that’s deeply important to him.

“We’re really excited about our first-ever national headline tour!” Ross says. “It’s called ‘The 2000 and Whatever Tour’ and we’re taking it to six capital cities. We’re also working on our debut album which is giving us so much life.”

Not long after their debut, they were given the Emily Burrows award, an award given to recognise and further encourage the talents of notable South Australian artists. They also won Best New Talent of the Year at the 2017 National Indigenous Music Awards, and were nominated for Artist of the Year at the 2018 awards. The band were also a part of the Eurovision: Australia Decides talent pool, adding their track 2000 and Whatever to the running- they came second in both Jury and Audience vote, and second overall.

Their track Don’t You Worry was used in the wonderful Aussie comedy, this year’s Top End Wedding.

“My languages are a part of my identity, and I get to showcase those languages through music.”

Fielding explains. ‘It’s been interesting with the feedback about my languages - the Anangu languages, as some people are experiencing them as a form of art for the first time. Also for my community, the APY Lands [Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, in northern South Australia], they have something to be inspired by through their language.”

Keep those eyes and ears peeled.

Fielding and Ross will be bringing their talents to Tassie’s Festival of Voices this July.

“They say there’s nothing new under the sun and this is true, considering we all learn from those who’ve gone before.” says Fielding, on what influences their sound- a sound that varies between catchy electro-pop, to epic scale orchestrally-flavoured electronica. Fielding’s voice itself ranges from a husky Nina Simoneesque sound, to a big, cheerful pop voice that makes you go all tingly. “Be it a grandmother, a 10

“Spirituality is a type of personal discovery and connection with the mysterious energy we’re all a part of. We weave what we’ve learnt into our lyrics and harmonies.”

Importantly, Ross and Fielding are more than just a couple of friends making music together; they share the same creative ethos, and their collective musical nous “Either one of us will bring an idea to the other.

It may start as a melody or a mood, but usually a philosophical idea. Then we use both of our musical senses to create the melody and harmony that will paint that idea most beautifully on the air between the stereo and skull.”

Electric Fields play the Odeon Theatre on Thursday July 11 as part of Festival of Voices. Tickets and further information check the festival website – www. festivalofvoices.com.

SAU PAULO TO TASMANIA

Pepper Keen took time out to give us an insight into the project.

How did your partnership with Red Bull and Dark Mofo come about?

Word of mouth, I believe(?)!

In previous years Red Bull had heard (by way of a friend, of a friend), that I had been working towards a film. This would soon be known as my debut virtual reality film and live dance performance, entitled Via Alice (directed, produced). It featured NYC rapper / dancer / producer Khalif Diouf (Le1f), alongside Indigenous Australian dancer / choreographer Waangenga Blanco (Bangarra Dance Theatre) and premiered at Red Bull Music Academy Weekender, Sydney 2017.

So, the relationship was always there. A recent phone call from the Red Bull team stemmed from a friend alerting them to my new project.

We realised that we were destined to be in orbit of each other yet again. Quite honestly, for this project to be presented, in its initial form, at Dark Mofo and in collaboration with Red Bull, it’s a natural fit. There aren’t many groups at their level in the Australian music industry eagerly pursuing new ideas, and openly taking risks on new projects such as this.

You chose to focus on Sao Paulo for your second Via project. What drew you to Brazil and the city specifically?

I’ve had a long standing relationship with Latin America since receiving a facebook message from a Mexico City based Festival Director (Nrmal) way back in 2012. I was invited to take part as a Guest Curator in 2013 and 2014 and along the way I took part in industry meets, and workshops, which opened up a world of new, international relationships.

Sounds Australia later invited me to join them on an industry tour of Latin American. It was incredibly well timed, as I was feeling really uninspired by the Australian music industry. We met a great deal of people, spoke on great deal of panels; lots of boring industry stuff, which doesn’t really sparkle for me. Though, I was well aware that with opening myself to these moments, eventually interesting new paths would present themselves.

I was so excited to be in Sao Paulo. Like, a dog excitedly pawing at a window to the forever sprawling unknown. Awaiting to be released!

I became frustrated by being in forced situations.

The heart of Night Mass will be transformed into the hotbed of Brazil’s radical underground courtesy of Red Bull and curator Pepper Keen.

VIA SAU PAULO will feature performers and DJS direct from south america that DEFY BRASIL’S CURRENT POLITIcal REGIME.

Meeting industry folk that were too busy talking at each other, pitching ideas at each other, and not truly consuming any knowledge, sharing, or listening with care. So, I decided to sneak away from the tour. Momentarily. Track down some night clubs. Preferably, the dirtiest possible.

I stepped into a club that was alive with hips, and butts, and shoulders, and so much Brazilian flow! THIS WAS IT! This was the Brazil I had been searching for! I danced by myself, in awe at the sea of incredible shapes and movements.

At the centre of the room I saw a tall, beautiful, black man, dancing Butoh (an ancient form of Japanese dance). Incredibly beautiful. Incredibly out of place. Baffled by this, we eventual spoke (and drank, and danced, till the early morning).

He and his boyfriend ended up inviting me to join them on a number of further occasions, introducing me to people and places that gave them life. I never told them what I did for work.

That wasn’t the intention. This was natural. We were far too busy having simple dumb fun.

I later returned to Brazil for a month, to spend time with my new friends, and to further discover the city that had a strong grasp on my attention, with great child-like excitement.

My new friend, just so happened to be in one of the most exciting, rising bands from Sao Paulo. Loic Koutana of Teto Preto (featured as part of Via Sao Paulo at Dark Mofo). These new relationships opened up a whole new world of sound, movement, art, expression.. and a passion that I hadn’t witnessed before! A wildly liberated community. Thriving, in the wake of a terrifying new political regime. A war was alive here and I knew which side I wanted to support.

The event is obviously for entertainment, but there are underlying themes and issues you wish to highlight though it?

The acts carry a message which can be felt from the energy of their performance, the tones of the music, the cadence of voice. Sure, we may not all be able to decipher lyrics sung in Brazilian Portugeuse. Though, when delivered with such a manner of power, and urgency. Language can stand strong in its many forms .. far beyond the need for any understanding of words.

Who are the Brazilian artists that have you curated to be part of the event?

Teto Preto are one of Brazil’s fastest rising acts with an incredible live show. Which, quite honestly, has been far and beyond that of

most live performance I’ve seen in the past 3 years. A five-piece band fusing electronic and organic. Featuring live percussion and trombone, alongside drum machines, synths, and vocal processors. Teto Preto fiercely merge political activism and performance art. Breaking boundaries in their own communities back home and, I believe, bound to cause a stir throughout Hobart.

BADSISTA palpably harnesses the energy from her emo days, and funnels it into high-energy sets full of rave cuts, funk carioca, and bassy tunes. Her own productions carry a vulnerability and rawness, as heard on self-released, unmixed, and unmastered tunes uploaded to SoundCloud. She’s also responsible for a handful of stand-out remixes, for artists such as influential Brazilian vocalist, and legendary Queen of Samba Elza Soares; Berlin-based producer Daniel Haaksman; and recently appearing on Kelela’s ‘Take Me Apart’ remix album.

DJ Carolina Schutzer aka CASHU, is one of the key figures of São Paulo’s queer underground electronic music scene, where her work constantly communicates urgent political issues.

In an attempt to occupy and decentralise the São Paulo scene, CASHU and Laura Diaz aka Carneosso (of TETO PRETO) created the collective MAMBA NEGRA, an independent brand which provides a platform for diversified artists. Their street events, that usually take place in abandoned and uninhabited locations, push forward the fight for female representation and sexual and gender freedom. The collective was formed in 2013 as a platform for live and organic music, and has since solidified itself as the leading light of São Paulo’s dance music scene.

DJANGO & GRAPPELLI ALTHOUGH HE DIED IN 1953, AT THE STAGGERINGLY YOUNG AGE OF 43, DJANGO REINHARDT’S LEGACY HAS ECHOED DOWN TO GENERATION AFTER GENERATION OF GUITARISTS AND MUSIC LOVERS; THE BELGIAN-BORN REINHARDT IS ARGUABLY ONE OF EUROPE’S PROUDEST MUSICAL EXPORTS THANKS TO HIS FIERCELY UNIQUE STYLE.

Tassie guitarist Harry Edwards certainly thinks so- it’s why he and violinist Charlie McCarthy are bringing an allnew Django & Grappelli show to the state this July. The show is a celebration of the music Reinhardt made with long-time collaborator, Stéphane Grappelli; a night of jazz, swing and storytelling.

“Django was obviously a jazz musician, but he wouldn’t have considered himself as such.” Edwards explains.

“If you position him alongside jazz guitarists over the decades, he’s arguably one of, if not the most, playful musicians. His playing is virtuosic, a total mastery of the instrument, but also this strong sense of playfulness and willingness to try strange things. When he was eighteen, he was in a caravan fire and suffered really bad burns to his left hand, so he could only play with two fingers.

That forced him to try a lot of new things and invent new melodic and harmonic devices on the instrument. It sets him apart.”

“Charlie and I are very close friends” Edwards says, on the Grappelli to his Reinhardt. “He moved to Tasmania three or four years ago; we would’ve done two-hundred gigs together since then. We work very well together, partly because he’s a wonderful musician- he grew up playing in orchestras in Ireland- [but also] when we work together, we’re playing music as friends and also trying to capture the sound of what Django and Grappelli were playing.”

“I didn’t get into music seriously myself until my early twenties.” Edwards explains, of his own history. “I did a bit of the classic rebound: studied law for a few years, got bored with that, dropped out, moved back to north-west Tassie, Alveston, not much to do up there so I devoted a lot of time to guitar and got obsessed with the whole Django thing. That’s what got me into guitar seriously.

That’s a thing I’ve studied most intensely, academically and overseas.”

Thankfully for Edwards, Tasmania is growing in leaps and bounds in terms of local culture, nightlife, festival and more and more gig opportunities.

“The last few years, things here have grown considerably with MONA and associated festivals, they offer quite a bit of work for local musicians, also cultivates more experimentation with venues. People would move to Melbourne to make it music-wise, but I see that there’s a lot of opportunities down here to put on your own concerts and also be employed as a serious musician.

Dark Mofo, for instance, gets the largest numbers of any festival in Australia, that’s come out of nowhere. I think we owe a lot to those kind of festivals.”

LISA DIB Django & Grappelli: The Originals is on at the Salamanca Arts Centre on Saturday July 27. Further information and ticketing details - www.salarts.org.au/event/django-grappelli-theoriginals/.

BREAKING BREAD ALYCE PLATT HAS BEEN A PART OF SOME OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST ICONIC TV PROGRAMS: NEIGHBOURS, A COUNTRY PRACTICE, SALE OF THE CENTURY, ALL THE WHILE KEEPING HER MUSICAL TALENT AT BAY. AS SHE TELLS IT, MUSIC ACTUALLY CAME FIRST, AND TV JUST KIND OF HAPPENED. NOW, PLATT IS BRINGING HER SHOW BAKERS DAUGHTER TO TASSIE’S FESTIVAL OF VOICES, AND SHOWING OFF JUST THAT. BUT FIRST, PERHAPS, SOME SLEEP. “I’ve been to Tunisia and to Paris! I went to Tunisia for a Women in the Arts and Business delegation. I performed over there, it was amazing, the most incredible experience. It was headed up by a lady who had lived in Syria for twenty-five years and she’s sort of an ambassador to Arab countries over there. I went over with the embassy as a performer, to be part of the women’s delegation. I did an informal gathering with local musicians, an evening of song. And then I came home via Paris, where I caught up with friends- so I am a bit jet-lagged as you can imagine!”

Platt’s Festival of Voices show will be a collection of some of her most beautiful originals, since her debut full-length album in 2004, Beautiful Death and, later, 2015’s Funny Little World.

“Bakers Daughter is a concert of songs, mostly original; songs I’ve done, mostly from two previous albums, also some newer songs that I’m going to include that’ll be on the new album, and I may include some of the stuff I did overseas too. A lot of the songs have been put together as a soundtrack for a feature documentary called Journey Beyond Fear, that’s a side of me that a lot of people don’t know about as a songwriter.”

“Journey Beyond Fear documents a family from Afghanistan seeing asylum, as refugees in Kuala Lumpur” she explains. “The filmmakers documented their journey all the way [to Australia] where they were granted asylum. It’s a story of refugees but also highlights the love and even the joy these people find in these adverse situations. It’s a human story rather than the political focus on refugees, but there is a bit of that.”

“I’ve been aligned with issues like this and feel very moved and have an incredible awareness of it- I try to do what I can...I’m very much sensitive to world issues like that. Especially here at home, one of the most recent ones that’s very disturbing is homelessness.

There are amazing organisations helping at grassroots level helping to solve these problems. I’m not numb to things. It is better to do something, I’ve only recently realised...to be awake and aware, we see things and then we go back to our safe privileged lives. It’s so easy for us to live like that.”

“I gave my music for free; it’s a film that we’d like people who don’t know about refugees, or have a fear or stigma about the culture, to destigmatize that and show the different, human side. If we can do that through film and music and try to connect with people, that’s a powerful position to be in.”

“From the age of twelve I started writing songs, playing guitar and singing.” Platt explains, on her history. “Then I decided to do performing in a broader sense and started acting as well, and then the acting took off at a very young age, and that kind of catapulted me into a very big arena of television. It overwhelmed everything else that I was doing. I would dip in and out of my music and singing career, and in my twenties I went back into music and writing. There’s times when there isn’t room to do it, you have to have the space to fully engage in that. I have to do that, for expression, that’s my outlet.

That’s why Festival of Voices is so intriguing to me, [the voice is] the emphasis. I love that connection through vibration of sound and the resonance of how we can affect each other through that.”

“I’ve had a really interesting experience with a song that I’ve been asked to sing over and over again at funerals for close friends and family; whenever I sing this song, I always get this incredible feedback, a genuine connection with people, and how moved they were. It’s always intrigued me as to why. That’s what I like, that connectedness of the sound and emotion and moving somebody, that’s really powerful. I think it’s because that’s a place that we’re allowed to have all your guards down [at a funeral], it’s profound, a celebration of a person’s life. Nothing more poignant than death.

Festival of Voices is a place of people, really...that’s the most important part of it.”

Arts

A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century. In recent years it has been revived as a fine art form.

Allan Marsell

Liz Dombrovskis

Jim Marwood

Phillip England Gazed Upon Lake Pedder Photographer Phillip England has carved out a niche producing tintype portraits of people in Tasmania. His latest exhibition, Gazed Upon Lake Pedder is a series of tintype portraits of people who saw the original Lake Pedder before the completion of the Lake Pedder dam.

“Lake Pedder was internationally recognised as an environmental treasure and it is considered to be the birthplace of the Australian conservation movement.

My portraits will prompt people to contemplate what was lost and to focus on an important and uniquely Tasmanian story which continues to resonate today. I never saw the original lake and its inundation has always haunted me because of the enormity of the loss and the human folly and carelessness it exemplifies. For those of us who did not see this magical place my portraits will connect us to the past via the eyes of those that did. This connection is even more direct than with conventional photographs because collodion tintypes are comprised of silver grains made by the very light rays that bounced off the subject in front of the camera. They are not prints from an intermediate negative or digital file. And these eyes experienced the light of Lake Pedder. The collodion tintype portraits in this exhibition will thereby embody only two degrees of separation between us and the lost Lake Pedder.” States the artist.

Gazed Upon Lake Pedder runs until the end of June, opening daily in the Studio Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre, Level 2 / 77 Salamanca Place. Entry is free

Janet’s drawings are made up of delicate, silver ink lines on black paper. “Through drawing I attempt to uncover that which I have forgotten or suppressed,” say the artist, “With an intuitive approach and using the basic materials of pen and paper, I allow the lines to speak for themselves.”

Exploring the concerts of order and chaos – in nature, systems, the mind and through all layers of society. Viewers are invited to come and draw with Janet at MAC on Wednesday June 26 between 10.00am and 2.00pm. It is free to participate.

Janet Bush, intersections (segment) (detail), 2018, silver ink on paper.
