Host note:
In this episode, we had Amie Anderson and Eric Jong. Amie told us about an exciting new art space in Melbourne. It's called Pavement Projects and located at 122 Hoddle street, Abbotsford. A Melbourne based curator and artist: Kate Davis is managing this space. For this episode of Three Bellybuttons, Amie shared her experience of seeing the current exhibition at Pavement Projects. It was Lara Chamas's exhibition titled Skippy gets burnt and converts to islam. Amie's detailed description and research about Lara's works brought an interesting discussion on the visual presentation of the Australian identity, the Skippy as the icon of the white Australian culture, and Australian muslim community. We all enjoyed learning a new English slang 'Turnt' from the title of this exhibition. Following Amie, Eric Jong, in his second time visiting Three bellybuttons, extended the discussion that he had at the class of Master of Fine Art in the Victorian College of the Arts, and asked us to share opinions on the idea about "the validity of documentary" in art space and how the art creates availability of a critical space to open conversations in public. During the discussion, he talked about magical realism and the film the act of killing. He mis-said the directors name as Robert Oppenheimer - but it is actually Joshua Oppenheimer. When we talked about the authenticity and morality in the process of art-making, we exchanged our thoughts on recent popular topic about de-colonisation in the art world. There were so many good points and valuable questions in this episode conversation. I hope you will enjoy listening and be inspired.
Pavement Projects will hold its first public event: Finissage: Skippy gets turnt and converts to Islam, Lara Chamas on 30 June. More information about this event can be read on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/239308426832736/?notif_t=plan_user_invited¬if_id=1528878601687172
