fortyfivedownstairs presents Unrepresented, an exhibition of five outstanding independent visual artists including emerging artists Ted McKinlay, Chloe Vallance, Nicholas Jones & Ben V Walsh alongside established independent artist Christopher Koller August 3-14th. In addition, a forum titled The Artists Survival Kit will be held on the 14th of August comprising an afternoon of relevant and pragmatic discussion about the contemporary arts scene, artists’ survival and expectations.
Coinciding deliberately with the Melbourne Art Fair, which is an exhibition of leading contemporary art chosen and presented by over 80 national and international galleries, Unrepresented responds to the vagaries and minefields of the art world that contemporary artists encounter. While most artists see representation by a gallery as the best possible situation, others deliberately remain outside the accepted system.
Unrepresented is curated by Walk to Art director Bernadette Alibrando, who has delved beneath the surface of Melbourne’s commercial gallery scene, and has selected five diverse artists who are excellent at their craft, have refined concepts, conceptual and emotional content in their work, underlying drive and have chosen to remain independent.
“Being represented and going it alone both have positives and negatives. I have enjoyed the freedom to exhibit more frequently and in artist- run spaces for smaller bodies of work and for group shows, and have been able to deal directly with people who collect my work” - Christopher Koller
Christopher Koller has travelled the world for the past 13 years with a $7.00 plastic toy (Diana) camera and will present a series of large photographs of Portuguese gardens which have a hazy, dreamlike quality to them, with shapes rendered indistinct, organic and inviting to the imagination.
Ben Walsh's presented series of artworks are digital prints of rendered models using techniques that reference the computer gaming world and are an exploration of nature’s intrusion into the human sense of order.
Chloe Valance's series of colour pencil drawings on plywood tiled “All roads lead to where we stand” were developed in response to the experience of travel in relation to the nature of being; the work considers the nature of the individual in society.
Nicholas Jones presents a selection of altered books which have been folded, cut, torn and sewn into unique sculptural pieces, drawing inspiration from mid 20th century design.
Ted McKinlay presents a series of drawings utilising the inspiration of found media and personal circumstance.
Running an arts practice is time consuming, and the art world can be very difficult to navigate. In conjunction with Unrepresented, fortyfivedownstairs will present a forum “The Artists’ Survival Kit” focusing on the absolute necessity for artists to be businesslike as well as creative.
There will be words of wit and wisdom from Marcus Westbury, (writer, broadcaster, and festival director), Tom Lowenstein, Australia’s leading arts accountant, Christopher Koller, photographic artist and former academic and Bernadette Alibrando. The forum will be adjudicated by fortyfivedownstairs Artistic Director Mary Lou Jelbart and is presented with support from the Portland House Foundation.
Since 2002 fortyfivedownstairs has offered an evocative urban space and a friendly, hands-on, personalised service to an eclectic mix of artists for theatre, visual arts, forum, music and dance events. Described by The Age as “a cultural powerhouse”, this not-for-profit organisation prides itself on showcasing the emerging, the independent, the experimental and the thought-provoking and Unrepresented is no exception.

Saturday, August 7 @ 2pm
Victorian Trades Hall,
Cnr. Victoria and Lygon Street.
In 2004, Archbishop Desmond Tutu a South African leader who campaigned against apartheid wrote:
“The
end of apartheid stands as one of the crowning accomplishments of the
past century, but we would not have succeeded without the help of
international pressure – in particular the divestment movement of the
1980s. Over the past six months, a similar movement has taken shape,
this time aiming at an end to the Israeli occupation.”
One of
the critical sectors in South Africa's Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions (BDS) campaign was the international trade union movement.
Around the world from the UK to South Africa unions are again taking up
the BDS call - this time against Israel. Palestinian unions issued a
"Worker's Boycott Call" in February 2007, which called on the
international labour movement to “boycott and divest from Israel and
work towards sanctions upon Israel, until Israel stops its crimes
against our people and implements international law safeguarding human
rights for all”. In Australia 12 union bodies have already adopted
motions in support of BDS. This is a great start but how can we further
use our union organisations to put pressure on Israel to end their
racist policies?
There is a proud tradition in the Australian
trade union movement of standing in solidarity with oppressed peoples
against colonialism, occupation and exploitation. Examples of
Australian Trade Unions solidarity include not only their opposition to
South African Apartheid but also against PM Bob Menzie’s support of the
Japanese occupation in China; against Dutch colonialism in Indonesia
and Australia trade unions also stood with the people of East Timor
against the Indonesian military occupation.

fortyfivedownstairs presents Unrepresented, an exhibition of five outstanding independent visual artists including emerging artists Ted McKinlay, Chloe Vallance, Nicholas Jones & Ben V Walsh alongside established independent artist Christopher Koller August 3-14th. In addition, a forum titled The Artists Survival Kit will be held on the 14th of August comprising an afternoon of relevant and pragmatic discussion about the contemporary arts scene, artists’ survival and expectations.
Coinciding deliberately with the Melbourne Art Fair, which is an exhibition of leading contemporary art chosen and presented by over 80 national and international galleries, Unrepresented responds to the vagaries and minefields of the art world that contemporary artists encounter. While most artists see representation by a gallery as the best possible situation, others deliberately remain outside the accepted system.
Unrepresented is curated by Walk to Art director Bernadette Alibrando, who has delved beneath the surface of Melbourne’s commercial gallery scene, and has selected five diverse artists who are excellent at their craft, have refined concepts, conceptual and emotional content in their work, underlying drive and have chosen to remain independent.
“Being represented and going it alone both have positives and negatives. I have enjoyed the freedom to exhibit more frequently and in artist- run spaces for smaller bodies of work and for group shows, and have been able to deal directly with people who collect my work” - Christopher Koller
Christopher Koller has travelled the world for the past 13 years with a $7.00 plastic toy (Diana) camera and will present a series of large photographs of Portuguese gardens which have a hazy, dreamlike quality to them, with shapes rendered indistinct, organic and inviting to the imagination.
Ben Walsh's presented series of artworks are digital prints of rendered models using techniques that reference the computer gaming world and are an exploration of nature’s intrusion into the human sense of order.
Chloe Valance's series of colour pencil drawings on plywood tiled “All roads lead to where we stand” were developed in response to the experience of travel in relation to the nature of being; the work considers the nature of the individual in society.
Nicholas Jones presents a selection of altered books which have been folded, cut, torn and sewn into unique sculptural pieces, drawing inspiration from mid 20th century design.
Ted McKinlay presents a series of drawings utilising the inspiration of found media and personal circumstance.
Running an arts practice is time consuming, and the art world can be very difficult to navigate. In conjunction with Unrepresented, fortyfivedownstairs will present a forum “The Artists’ Survival Kit” focusing on the absolute necessity for artists to be businesslike as well as creative.
There will be words of wit and wisdom from Marcus Westbury, (writer, broadcaster, and festival director), Tom Lowenstein, Australia’s leading arts accountant, Christopher Koller, photographic artist and former academic and Bernadette Alibrando. The forum will be adjudicated by fortyfivedownstairs Artistic Director Mary Lou Jelbart and is presented with support from the Portland House Foundation.
Since 2002 fortyfivedownstairs has offered an evocative urban space and a friendly, hands-on, personalised service to an eclectic mix of artists for theatre, visual arts, forum, music and dance events. Described by The Age as “a cultural powerhouse”, this not-for-profit organisation prides itself on showcasing the emerging, the independent, the experimental and the thought-provoking and Unrepresented is no exception.

Are you fed up with stage-managed electoral politics? Want to know what happened at this convention that brought together people wanting a system that cherishes life, knowledge, solidarity, shared abundance and the natural world — and who are determined to work collectively to achieve this?
Last month, members and guests of the Freedom Socialist Party convened at Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington to reflect on international struggles and assess the effectiveness to today’s movements in resisting the intense suffering caused by the latest crisis of capitalism.
This meeting will feature multi-media reports from Australian delegates, Alison Thorne, Debbie Brennan and Peter Murray. They’ll discuss the socialist feminist alternative to capitalism, the new queer radicalism, inspirational multi-generational and multi-racial organising and explore how public sector and immigrant workers are firing up the U.S. union movement.The meeting will also feature a lively discussion that came out of an eye witness panel’s examination of Cuba’s imperilled revolution.
There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion about the dynamic ideas of the FSP.
Tuesday 17 August, 7 pm
Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm for an $8 donation.
Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick.
Take the Upfield train to Anstey Station or the North Coburg tram to Stewart Street. Plenty of free parking is available at the rear — enter from Staley Street.

More than 20 complaints of racist violence byVictorian police involving young Africans were made to the Office of PoliceIntegrity between 2006 and 2009. Only one has been investigated by the OPI, andit is still unresolved.
Police violence not only targets migrants andAboriginals, but is used on protests, pickets, youths, the poor, andincreasingly, anyone questioning police authority. With wealth inequality andpoverty increasing in Australiapolice violence and state repression will become a more and more pressingissue.
The Retro Three were bashed by police one afterthe other in front of 25 witnesses outside the Retro Café on Brunswick StreetFitzroy in 2009. All three were falsely charged with assaulting police. One of the Retro Three, an 18 year old woman, was hospitalised with facialinjuries after police assaulted her. Police provoked the incident when theybegan striking Sam King across the head with his own bicycle helmet andrepeatedly striking him in the face with a closed fist. King's crime? Refusingto lie face down on the bitumen to be handcuffed having questioned why policerequired his name. The case is currently being pushed through the OPI andethical Standards Division.
Tamar Hopkins is theprincipal solicitor at the Flemington and Kensington Community Legal Centre andauthor of An Effective System for Investigating Complaints Against Police, the2009 report for the Victoria Law Foundation.
Meghan Fitzgerald is asolicitor specialising in cases of police violence. She who works at theFitzroy Community Legal Service.
Activist Sam King is one of the Retro Three.

A few weeks ago Melbourne Anti-Intervention Collective held a forum asking the question: “Who will stop the NT Intervention?”
At the event we invited representatives from various political groups and the unions to offer their analysis of how to get rid of these racist policies.
Following the close of polls on Saturday, we will see either a Labor Government committed to the NT Intervention, or a Liberal Government committed to th...e NT Intervention. It is clear that we can not leave it to parliament to overturn these barbaric laws.
During this special post-election meeting, Melbourne Anti-Intervention Collective will be presenting an overview of the NT Intervention and a rundown of what the new political situation means for the campaign. Importantly, we will be discussing the sort of action we can take to fight this latest attack on Aboriginal rights.
All welcome for a night of discussion and action!

At Underground Cinema we’re always looking for ways to entertain and surprise our guests, and our next film screening is no exception. For the first time, UGC will hold TWO screenings on the same weekend, Saturday night and a matinee screening on Sunday, so guests can choose the session that best suits them.
This screening is for all the film lovers out there, as we head back to an unforgettable era with a nod towards film noir. Guests are invited to dress in line with the period theme and channel Europe at the end of WW2, with a touch of old Hollywood glamour.
You will be required to bring your forged papers to ensure you make it past the Russian checkpoint, and enter UGC Military HQ. Don’t forget to report to the Military top brass in the Strategy room, busy plotting their next surprise attack, but please avoid disturbing the scientists working hard on the latest top secret government project in the laboratory. Whilst the burlesque entertainment will be difficult to resist, whatever you do, don’t get caught visiting the Underground Berlin Bar… we have a lot to do, and precious little time to do it in. We have to be quick; the troops are coming.
All of UGC’s 2010 screenings have sold out well in advance, and this event promises to do the same so make sure you purchase your tickets early.
