Helen Simondson from Boola Bardip WA Museum gets us going this week with a round up of what she’s seen in Perth…

 

Then we meet James Lynch, Curator at Deakin University Art Gallery who’ll tell us about 'I brave a whirlwind of dust, while those about me close their eyes…' a new exhibition of works by Fayen d'Evie who uses sound, touch, movement, performance and other nonvisual communications to expand the limits of the visual arts. The exhibition includes works by print specialist Trent Walter, performance maker Alex Craig, deaf dancer Anna Seymour, choreographer Benjamin Hancock, sculptor Aaron McPeake and paintings by the San Francisco-based artist and advocate Jennifer Justice.

 

After that, we’re off to theatre where Bloomshed is presenting a contemporary adaptation of George Orwell’s metaphorical novel Animal Farm… and we’ll talk to director James Jackson.

 

Designer Anna Tregloan has created a theatrical dreamscape for Chagall at the Jewish Museum of Australia through which we can explore the life and work of Marc Chagall and she’s here to walk and talk us through it.

 

Meanwhile, it’s time for the Scandinavian Film Festival and so we’ll chat with Elysia Zeccola who knows all there is to know about this collection of Nordic cinema…

 

Sticking with the Nordic theme (well, near enough), Terra Therma is an exhibition focusing on sounds and images created in response to the impacts of global warming witnessed during his exploration of ice caverns and glaciers in Iceland and artist Benjamin Knock walks and talks us through his work along with composer Coskun Dincel.

 

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
