Computer woes

In two weeks I have a few digital projections to provide
for a special dinner at the H20 Bar & Restaurant. Creative Regions is having the dinner to celebrate the launch of a new website for the Foundry project.

' It is a website that we have just had go live yesterday that encourages people to upload local stories – images, documents or films.  We named the site The Foundry as it is a place where information is collated and "forged" into new arts projects.  http://thefoundry.net.au '. Quote from Shelley Pisani, Creative Producer from Creative Regions.

So, of course,  my PC decided to break down, and all I had was a black screen.  Not a very nice scene at this point.  But luck was on my side this time and a faulty RAM stick was replaced and I am back in action!

The picture above is of a type of 'Goddess of the field', and will be part of a projection pertaining to the smallcrops industry in and around Bundaberg. The overlay on Brigid's face is an aerial photograph of parts of Bundaberg.    cx

Clinton's show

My friend Clinton Cross had another exhibition of small contemporary works on paper at my Dirty Linen Artspace.  He was quite successful once more but a bit short of  a sellout like his previous show.  There were some delightful small works and somehow a huge 6m x about 2m painting on paper by Jennifer McDuff slipped past the measuring stick. This of course pleased everybody, as Jennifer is one of our district's favourite artists.

All week I have been busy on the computer creating video files for projection for a special dinner coming up next month.  The venue has changed from the local Catholic  college to the H20 bar and restaurant on the Burnett River.  The videos relate to the small crops industry and so I started the week with  a trip to the markets to photograph the fruit and vegetables.

 

 I am combining these photos with some of the aerial shots I took a while back, and of course Brigid will star again. 

There is a big weekend coming up with Bundaground, curated by Brad Marsellos.  I might catch you up with that story tomorrow.  Till soon.  cx
