Veils of TAR | World Refugee Day

The Metropolitan Museum Shrouded a Mark Chagall Painting to Draw Attention to World Refugee Day

The museum shrouded the painting to ask the question: “What would the Met’s walls look like if there were no refugees?” Works by other famous artists including Max Ernst, Piet Mondrian, and Mark Rothko are labeled as works “made by a refugee.”

The Anatomy Lesson of a Free Press

Students of Theatre of the Actors of Regard (STAR) would have immediately recognised this scene and its ongoing lesson.

Scott Morrison says the recent AFP raids on journalists were "at complete arm's length" from his Government, but leading journalists say police were operating within laws created by the state — laws that will have a chilling effect on whistleblowers.

Rembrandt van Rijn  

In Rembrandt's 'The Anatomy Lesson of Doctor Nicolaes Tulp' (1632), above, we observe the investigative doctor interrogating the matter and meanings of 'an arm's length'.

Mr Lyons has revealed details of the warrant’s broad scope, which seeks: “Handwritten/digital notes, diary/ies, correspondence — internal, external, emails & other electronic forms of messaging, minutes, reports, briefing documents, assessments, graphics, sketches, photographs or imagery/vision — drafts & final, story pitch planning logs, broadcast and online schedules, raw or unedited footage in its entirety, journalist’s piece to camera, scripts drafts and finals including voiceovers, story boards/plans, status updates, website content, documents classified as ‘secret’ together with any manual, instruction, password or other thing that assists to gain access to or interpret or decode any of the above things.”

Mr Lyons said the warrant also allows the AFP to “add, copy, delete or alter” material on ABC computers.

GERTRUDE CONTEMPORARY
Octopus 19 : Ventriloquy
Curated by Joel Stern

Initiated in 2001, the Octopus series of exhibitions supports ambitious curatorial practice, through engaging an invited curator annually to develop a project that draws upon their research interests and provides a platform for new forms of exhibition making. In 2019 Gertrude is delighted to be working with Joel Stern.

Anarchronism Effects : Opening weekend performance program

Performance Dates : Saturday 1 June, 2-4pm

Gertrude Contemporary || 21-31 High Street, Preston South

This performance program, Anarchronism Effects, explores the way ventriloquy performs a dislocation of body from voice in time and in space. The program borrows its title from scholar Sarah Kessler's research into 'ventriloquial materiality' and ventriloquism's "enduring anachronism—its at once anticipatory and antiquated appearance." Anarchronism Effects features new performances created for Octopus 19: Ventriloquy by Ash Kilmartin | Mel Deerson and Briony Galligan | Melody Paloma | MP Hopkins.

Ash Kilmartin will perform You, as a paragraph, a monologue for mediated voice, engaging the ventriloquial tropes of possession, dislocation, and the excessive physicality of (the at times seemingly autonomous and absurd) speaking voice.

Melody Paloma will de- and re-code a suite of Code Poems by Hannah Weiner, master ventriloquist and psychic host to corporeal and non-corporeal bodies alike, in collaboration with retired seafarers Neil Butt and Leigh Webster.

Mel Deerson and Briony Galligan will traverse the theater curtain separating heaven from hell.

MP Hopkins will read through himself some texts about speaking/voice/language and hear himself doing this reading to himself.

Borrowed from French camouflage, from camoufler (“to veil, disguise”), alteration (due to camouflet "smoke blown in one's face") of Italian camuffare (“to muffle the head”), from ca- (from Italian capo (“head”)) + muffare (“to muffle”), from Medieval Latin muffula, muffla (“muff”), from Frankish *molfell (“soft garment made of hide”) from *mol (“softened, forworn”) (akin to Old High German molawēn (“to soften”), Middle High German molwic (“soft”)) + *fell (“hide, skin”), from Proto-Germanic *fellą (“skin, film, fleece”), from Proto-Indo-European *pel(e)(w)-, *plē(w)- (“skin, hide”). Akin to Old High Germanfel (“fell, skin, hide”), Old English fell (“fell, skin, hide”). Alternate etymology traces the Italian and Medieval Latin words to Middle High German mouwe, mōwe (“sleeve”) (German Muff (“muff”), Dutch mouw (“sleeve”)) from Proto-Germanic *mawwō (“sleeve”) + fell (“skin”). More at mulch, fell.

LOGOS/HA HA : Common Sense v The Rules

Australian rules football, officially known as Australian football,^[2] or simply called Aussie rules, football or footy, is a contact sport played between two teams of eighteen players on an oval-shaped field, often a modified cricket ground. Points are scored by kicking the oval-shaped ball between goal posts (worth six points) or between behind posts (worth one point). (Wikipedia)

*PRESS RELEASE* (Sunday 12 May 2019)
Following Friday night's 'Swan Up A Goal Post' incident 
at the SCG, and the endorsement by the AFL CEO of the umpires' decision to preference "common sense" over the Rules of the Code, Australian RULES Football is 
to be rebranded Australian Common Sense Football.


Sidney Nolan, Footballer (1946)                            collection NGV

In the mid-1940s, when Nolan was painting boyhood recollections of St Kilda and "heroic" figures such as bushranger Ned Kelly, he decided to paint Footballer, an "emblematic portrait of the sports-warrior".^[5] The work was painted in the dining room at Heide, the Templestowe home of art patrons John and Sunday Reed, on 24 August 1946. In his journal, Nolan writes: "Finished my painting of a footballer this morning and called Jim [the gardener at Heide] to have a look at it. He said it looked quite real, almost as if you were there, so it at least passed the critical eye of a specialist."^[5] Its completion date falls in the middle of Nolan's iconic first series of 27 Ned Kelly works, all but one painted in the Heide dining room. Together with the Kelly series, Footballer has been interpreted as a "veiled self-portrait"—both men, like the artist, stand outside society in a "space no longer governed by everyday rules."^[6][7]  (Wikipedia)


After the siren, Dane Rampe (Sydney Swans) climbs a goal post
as David Myers (Bombers) prepares to kick for the win.     

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan has praised the "practical" umpiring decision to warn but not penalise Sydney’s Dane Rampe for his bizarre move to scurry up the goal post as an Essendon player lined up for an after-the-siren shot at goal.

The Sydney co-captain risked giving away a free kick – almost certainly resulting in a winning goal for Essendon – by deciding to climb the goal post as Bomber David Myers prepared to kick for goal from about 60 metres out.

‘‘People want, I think, common sense in the umpiring and some practicality. I hear that all the time. I think that’s what was exhibited last night. That’s what happens in our game – people cut it both ways.’’- Gil McLachlan
