Babylon Lexicon
Babylon Lexicon is an annual exhibition of artists' books and book inspired art curated by Hot Iron Press. I posted over some of my artists books (from most recent show, a perfect stillness) far over the seas for inclusion in the exhibition (see if you can spot them in the pictures!)
It ran from 10 November - 8 December 2007 at the Goldring Riverview Gallery of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA/RIVERFRONT). My first international exhibition was much easier than I thought it would be, and just cost me the price of a very big stamp. It was really exciting to be apart of this and I recommend checking out the Hot Iron Press website.
It has taken me a little while to get around to posting up all of this older content that has come lately, but we are almost up to the present, and we are always in the present even if reminiscing.

The circle
Unrolled, rolling and re rolled up. My work went up on the walls of bus gallery with the help of my most wonderful friend lucas and all the patience that goes along with mounting enormous pieces of paper to a wall. People came to the opening, my little brothers were wearing matching clothing (blue satin vests, white shirts and board shorts - they dressed themselves!), my mum made fruit platters with almonds and cloves and my beloveds brought me flowers plucked and added to the show of drawings, books and dried magnolias.
It was a really beautiful show and thankyou to everyone who came and checked it out, also to all of those who helped put the production together and BUS for having me.
Im going to put up photographs of the show in installments. There were three pieces in the show, A PERFECT STILLNESS WHERE EVERYTHING MOVES which I named LEFT
There were two book works as part of the project, A catalogue named after the show and a book of botanical illustrations of the Gymea Lily titled Illustrious Botanae.
All the work is for sale and books can be ordered. Thankyou.

Counting fingers now
Its only Eight sleeps until my show now, hands covered in white paint, to do lists listing on the walls of my studio. There are flyers circulating the streets and pockets of people, they are limited edition colour prints on ivory laid paper, you can find them around (I left a huge stack at Alice Euphemia near Flinders Lane). I hope to see you at the opening. There are three other shows opening at Bus that night that also sound quite beautiful.

Coaltion of the Willing > by Knife Party
'Coalition of the Willing' is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a 'post Copenhagen' world.
‘Coalition of the Willing’ has been Directed and produced by Knife Party, written by Tim Rayner and crafted by a network of 24 artists from around the world using varied and eclectic film making techniques. Collaborators include some of the world’s top moving image talent, such as Decoy, World Leaders and Parasol Island.
The film offers a response to the major problem of our time: how to galvanize and enlist the global publics in the fight against global warming. This optimistic and principled film explores how we could use new Internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change. Through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, 'Coalition of the Willing' makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to hand the fight against global warming to the people.
