18.01.2022 Virtual Exhibition: Death In A Box Launch Day 31 October 2020 at 4pm over Zoom (link available via booking an Eventbrite ticket on the collective website www.eacexhibitions.com) Explore artworks and listen to speakers sharing positive perspectives on the once uncomfortable topic of death.... The aim is to provide viewers with insight into how art can destigmatize and unite people under the idea of death. Although it may feel uncomfortable, or something we want to distance ourselves from it, we believe in art to bring positivity and light to this tough topic. The launch day will include the following speakers: Margherita Coppolino; an influential disability and inclusion consultant who will talk to us about the importance of inclusivity in the arts! Samantha Rennie; she has 25 years of experience as a nurse, facilitator, educator and therapist. She’ll empower us in a compassionate and fun way around the topics of trauma, death, loss, and grief. Dr Pia Interlandi; an academic at RMIT University in Melbourne. She will speak to us about her internationally recognized practice-led research that traverses between the fashion and funeral industry. Pia uses co-design research methodologies and the 'tools' of fashion to address rituals and realities of dying, death, disposal and dispersion. Check this website for a sneak peek and to have an idea how the 3D exhibition works! https://artspaces.kunstmatrix.com///2776518/death-in-a-box Curators (and artists in the exhibition) are (all RMIT students) Lucy Xintong Wang, Louise Samuelsson , Jade Armstrong , Roberta Govoni.

16.01.2022 #rmitart #artinisolation featuring work by BA (Fine Art) (Honours) student Anni Hagberg 'Flux', 2020, Ceramic and glass "This work is a part of my honours project, in which I consider how experimental encounters with clay, glaze, glass and steel, and the documentation of the dynamic interactions between these materials, can be represented through contemporary multimedia sculpture. The piece has been subjected to a short and volatile firing in a home-made kiln, during which ...the unstable and unforgiving firing conditions distort the forms into abstracted reinterpretations of my initial intentions."

15.01.2022 The Routledge Companion to Art in the Public Realm’ has just been published and includes a brilliant chapter by Adjunct Professor Maggie McCormick. ACT: Activating City Transience Abstract. In an era of rapid global urbanisation, the ‘city’ is constantly reshaping itself through demolition and re-building, through juxtaposition of new architecture against old, and the unexpected against the everyday. In addition, digitalisation has expanded understanding of urban space beyond... its purely built expression, reinforcing a sense of urban transience. This chapter explores activation, within an expanded notion of public as a space of transition, through art practices that challenge embedded spatial perceptions and patterns, and in the process builds a new sense of urban identity. It does this through making conceptual links between urban art disruptions within city transience separated by time, as seen in an approach to practice as well as perceptions of the nature of public space in the central city of Melbourne, Australia. Grounded in the urban thinking of Henri Lefebvre and Catherine Régulier that recognises the value of practice, related activations are discussed: Platform to Urban Laboratory; Sculpture Walk to Urban Animators; No Vacancy to SkypeLab. Each draws out how the urban disruption of the former laid the groundwork for the latter, revealing shifts in city transience and the relationship between public practice, public space and the public. The publication can be borrowed from RMIT Library. Image: Maggie McCormick in front of painting by Bruno Pasqualini.

"The image is part of one of my MFA projects this semester. This project is about the temporality and fragility of our bodies. This image is part of a series I am making on this subject. Joseph Beuys drawings and stains on paper were used as a reference, hence the title." Instagram: @markedwards9000
