We have embarked on a project together with QLD Ballet dancer and choreographer Jack Lister to fuse dance with visual art. Frustrated with the lack of dialogue between different artistic disciplines, we decided to take matters into our own hands and create a work of art that embraces each others processes. Essentially we are creating a work of art with 3 principal layers, dance, film and digital art. Stage 1 involved Jack choreographing a series of movements and performing them with his colleague and friend, QLD Ballet dancer Sarah Thompson. Together they created a truly moving piece that will literally make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end - they are NOT human!! Stage 2 began on Monday night. Cinematographer Greg Henderson joined forces with Jack and I to capture the dance on film. The result left us all speechless and the final footage will serve as the base for Stage 3 where local digital artist Gert Geyer will work back into the frames to create an animated digital artwork. We will debut the work in laser projection at Marie Claire - Up Late on James Street - March 12! In the meantime, here is a behind the scenes look at Stage 1 & Stage 2 in production. Stay tuned!!

Together with this months feature exhibition [The Animitas by Veronica Ibanez Romagnoli] we are releasing a new series of photography by the artist in limited edition print. [caption id="attachment_10132" align="alignleft" width="290"] Animata's # 27, 2009. Photo Print by Veronica Ibanez Romagnoli[/caption] These gorgeous photographs remind us of the enormity of the landscape and our place within it. Focusing on the Animita, Ibanez captures the resting places of the dead. Not dissimilar to the sarcophagi of the Egyptians, the Animitas are homes for the souls of the departed. The Animitas are constructed from basic materials and are often adorned with offerings like flowers and gifts for the spirit. Each dwelling is prepared and maintained by the family and friends of the deceased. Set against the remarkable backdrop of the Chilean landscape, they are aesthetic marvels that defy scale. The humble, miniature dwellings are scattered throughout the landscape, sometimes in the most unusual places - as if all alone in the world. Visit Veronica Ibanez Romagnoli's page in our SHOP to view her complete print portfolio. [caption id="attachment_10138" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Animata's # 30, 2009.
