21.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: experience Natalia Newling’s ‘For me, for you’, a love letter in the form of a dual mixed sound piece that explores the difficulty of balancing love for oneself and love for others, in all its forms. * * * *... * #runwayjournal #love #love letter #soundart #p5 See more

20.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Watch, Natasha Matila-Smith’s 'Self-isolating in your heart', a three-part series of living portraits which ponder loneliness, longing, and desire. The ambiguity of the figure and its desires make clear that objects of longing are constructs much like any other under capitalism. The anxiety of being lonely in public and private spaces is read anew in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, as intimacies are reconfigured physically and digitally.

19.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Watch Quishile Charan's 'Quishile/Shila/Sheela: To uphold my Aaji’s craft as a namesake', a visual documentation of Charan’s textile process dedicated to her Aaji and Fua.

17.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Read, Katie Paine’s 'An abhorent pair', a ficto-critical text that contemplates love as a radical force, a phenomenon often mistrusted by academic and bureaucratic institutions because of its destabilising potential. The text uses ideas of censorship and administrative violence to discuss the temporality of love, the way the feeling of love can sit within the body and the way love can be held by language.

14.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Read, Kiki Amberber's, 'Saccharin', a work of citational poetry and audio that responds to three films and attempts to unearth something new in the process.

13.01.2022 Archives are important. They reveal how individuals and institutions shape our understanding of culture. Recently it was brought to our attention that previously published content preserved in our archive is racist. All racist material is harmful, even if the content timestamps a moment when awareness of critical issues, such as intersectionality, racism or inclusivity, were not shaping cultural dialogues to the degree in which they are today. In response, we have begun to r...eview our archive from the past two decades. Once our archival content has been reviewed, Runway Journal will host an open call for Issue 42: Archive. We intend to commission new visual and written content that critically responds to our history and invite past board members and contributors to reflect on works previously published. The current board of Runway Journal will collectively write an Editors’ Letter to accompany Issue 42: Archive, reflecting upon where Runway Journal has been and how we intend to move forward.

09.01.2022 In July we began the process of reviewing our entire archive after it was brought to our attention that there are instances of racist, culturally offensive and non-inclusive material preserved within it. We believe it is important to avoid simple erasures of our past. Instead, we should evaluate, critique, discuss and reimagine our histories. Runway Journal is seeking proposals for Issue 42: Archive. We will commission new visual and written content that responds to the theme... of ‘archive’ in various ways. We are open to proposals that critically respond to specific articles, artworks or themes in the Runway Journal archive, or explore the nature and process of digital and/or physical archival management. We also extend this invitation out to past board members and contributors who wish to reflect upon previously published content in Runway Journal. Our history is not behind us but rather something we carry into the present. Archives remind us that our history is always a work in progress. APPLY NOW: http://runway.org.au/callout-archive

06.01.2022 Need inspiration for your Issue 42: Archive proposal? Let us know what sort of themes you wish to respond to and we can direct you toward correlating content in our archive. Today, we continue to share some of our favourite Runway Journal pieces from the past, that remain relevant today. Published as part of Issue 15: Lies, Leon Goh interviewed Stephen Gilchrist regarding his curated exhibition 'OCTOPUS 9: I FORGET TO FORGET' at Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne in 2009. The ...exhibition featured artists Tony Albert, Daniel Boyd, Andrea Fisher, Helen Johnson, Jonathan Jones and Reko Rennie, and examined responses to and reflections on Aboriginality, both historical and of the time. In the interview, Gilchrist expands on some of the themes of the exhibition to discuss Australia's collective and national memory, the idea of recovery in the wake of then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's 'National Apology to Australia's Indigenous Peoples', as well as the use of Aboriginal imagery by non-Indigenous Australian artists. Throughout the interview we are presented with a curatorial practice characterised by a nuanced criticality of history, and equally imbued with consideration and care for an individual's story. Callout for Issue 42: Archive proposals closes 14 October at midnight.

06.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Read, June Miskell’s 'A Letter for My Love(s)', a text that functions simultaneously as a love letter and an open-access digital resource. Constructed using citational fragments sourced from various writers, theorists and friends, and embedded with hyperlinks to a variety of text-based and visual references, readers become implicitly engaged in intimate processes of sharing experiences and interpretations of love.

03.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Watch, Sab D'Souza's 'what if we held hands in the margins of a google doc?'.

02.01.2022 Read: Digital Relationalities as Queer Praxis: A Response to UNSW Galleries' Friendship as a way of Life, by Isabella Cornell. In this response, Cornell identifies multiple themes, content and platforms of this group show as informing a dynamic and resourceful attitude to exhibition-making within the context of COVID-19. There are still two days to view the exhibition at UNSW Galleries, Sydney.

01.01.2022 Issue 41 Love: Watch, Jonathan Homsey’s 360 film 'Onward pretty solider', exploring love from the lens of the inner child. Based on Homsey's marriage and he and his ex-husband's love for Sailor Moon, this work examines the internal landscape of this relationship and how external forces dissolved the veil of love. Onward pretty soldier exposes the use of cartoons and roleplay to distract from the inevitable mortality of romantic relationships. @johnnybgood.e Link in bio. * * ...* * * #runwayjournal #love #360video #sailormoon #prettysoldiersailormoon #choreography See more
