PERISCOPE: CASTLEMAINE STATE FESTIVAL VISUAL ARTS BIENNIAL
Fourteen local and national artists! Twelve premiere Festival works! Exhibited across a range of extraordinary sites, including an abandoned car salesroom, a former police lock-up and an original miner’s cottage, Curated by Deborah Ratliff, the exhibition offers immersive engagement with some of the most creative individuals from the central goldfields region. Sugar from one, salt from another, mounds of spice, the artist’s mother, distilled concoctions, water, platinum, sound recordings, double adaptors, Chinese Hong Bao, plants, stoneware, discarded homewares, a reconfigured 1972 Holden Kingswood…
Compelling, complex and sometimes strange, the third Castlemaine Festival Visual Arts Biennial presents artists’ individual and collective responses to the Festival theme, Elemental.
Also: ASV Members Neil & Catherine Tait will have their workshop open Sunday 17 March, 11.30 am to 2.00 pm with opening by London-born Daylesford resident, Danny Spooner, regarded as the foremost traditional singer in Australia.

A great work of art.
In honor of South African politician Nelson Mandela and to mark the 50th anniversary of his arrest by the apartheid police, artist Marco Cianfanelli was commissioned to produce a sculpture to stand in Howick, South Africa, on the exact unassuming spot that he was captured. The installation consists of 50 steel columns which symbolise the prison bars that held him for 27 years. When viewed from the right angle, the quietly powerful sculpture forms a profile portrait of Mandela.

We know that Louis Pratt won the inaugural Mount Buller Sculpture Award with his work "Voyeur" - unfortunately the editor has been unable to find any non copywright material tpo publish here. The Sydney Morning Herald would have cost us in excess of $200. If anyone has any of their own photographs of any of the work in the show - and some words of discussion it will be published in the next newsletter.

Two of Melbourne’s leading disability arts companies; Rawcus and Art Day South have combined to present this hybrid spectacular of performance and visual art in four shows only, in the unique space of Nebula on the promenade at Southbank.
Singular is a rolling montage of personal aspirations presented as a series of short vignettes.
Large kinetic sculptures designed and built by the artists of Art Day South are brought to life by the performers of Rawcus. Neither performance nor sculpture Singular is a combination of these traditional forms through the lens of outsider art.
