TARfest19 : Behavioural Awareness Officers Quell Screaming Teens

 [Intro: Suffa]
 For my people in the front
 In the nosebleed section

 [Hilltop Hoods : The Nosebleed Section]

 [Verse 1: Suffa]
 This is for the heads that's loving the mix
 My people in the front, all covered in spit
 Batter's in the box, Suffa to pitch
 Hilltop Hoods all up in this bitch...

 [Verse 2: Suffa] ...

 This is a comeback, tongue that’s sharp like a thumbtack
 It's so tight James is saying, "Give my funk back"
 One track, eight track, ADAT, residual noise
 Man, fuck that, we clean with the digital toys
 I'm the Apache, you're failing to match me
 Throw your hands in the air like you're hailing a taxi
 And move to the funk flow, you stepping? Are you drunk, bro?
 This is for my peeps and the freaks in the front row

    Theatre of the Authorities of Regard  

 [Verse 3: Suffa]

 People don’t complain if Suffa’s in here
 And you’re in the front row all covered in beer
 And club owners don't say, 

    "The place is wrecked, it's your fault"
 If the roof is on fire, it's an electrical fault
 Man, I bet you all bolt when I bring it live

 Like Friday night footy, in my hoody I can hide...

Open letter to the Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition, Members of Parliament :

The Australian Federal Police raids on the home of News Corporation Australia journalist Annika Smethurst and on the offices of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation represent a grave threat to press freedom in Australia.

We welcome the Prime Minister’s stated commitment to freedom of the press and openness to discuss the concerns that have been raised.

A healthy democracy cannot function without its media being free to bring to light uncomfortable truths, to scrutinise the powerful and inform our communities. Investigative journalism cannot survive without the courage of whistleblowers, motivated by concern for their fellow citizens, who seek to bring to light instances of wrongdoing, illegal activities, fraud, corruption and threats to public health and safety.

These are issues of public interest, of the public’s right to know. Whistleblowers and the journalists who work with them are entitled to protection, not prosecution. Truth-telling is being punished.

The raids, a raft of recent national security laws, and the prosecutions of whistleblowers Richard Boyle, David McBride and Witness K all demonstrate the public’s right to know is being harmed. Truth-telling is being punished.

It is also clear from the global response to the recent raids that Australia’s proud reputation around the world as a free and open society is under threat.

We urge Parliament to legislate changes to the law to recognise and enshrine a positive public interest protection for whistleblowers and for journalists. Without these protections Australians will be denied important information it is their right as citizens to have.

We urge you to take prompt action to protect our democracy for all Australians.

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.

PM denies Government ordered AFP raids on journalist, ABC - AM ...

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.

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.

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.

The Art of Camouflage | Move on, please. Nothing to be seen here.

 etymoLOGOS/HA HA 

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.
