Newell Harry sparks connections + Jim Moginie's Colour Wheel + the Whitely Art Scandal


Listen Later

Newell Harry is one of those people that finds the connections, the invisible networks and chance encounters - that link us all. In his exhibition Esperanto Newell makes use of found objects and sourced materials alongside his own original artworks. The story it weaves is full of cross-cultural connections --from South Africa, where his family fled Apartheid, to Oceania. But also driven by moments of serendipity and linguistic twists and turns.

My Thing is... the colour wheel. Jim Moginie is best known for being the guitarist and songwriter of Midnight Oil, but his electric guitar opus The Colour Wheel is an epic composition inspired by colour itself, and is experienced alongside an immersive, colourful light projection.  

The new ABC iview doco The Whiteley Art Scandal tells the riveting story of one of the biggest art fraud cases in Australian history.  In 2009, car salesman turned art dealer, Steve Nasteski, buys what he believes to be a genuine painting by Australian artist Brett Whiteley. But when suspicions are raised about its authenticity, a chain of events leads to a sensational trial. Producer Ivan O'Mahoney speaks with Daniel.
