Grace and Shan
We discuss exhibitions, performances and the artistic movements shaping our city. Through conversations, interviews and fresh perspectives, we connect art, culture and community in a way that’s vibrant, relevant and gives you a great insight to Melbourne’s Arts Scene.
Fortnightly, starting Thursday 3 September 9:30-10am
Coming up on What the Art?
For our first show we will be speaking with:
Lucy Buxton is a Naarm-based artist and curator. Working across expanded printmaking, her work explores rivers and creeks as living entities, repositories of memory and regenerative sites. Lucy's work engages with more-than-human knowledge, fostering intimate and embodied encounters with the environmental, social and political nature of water.
Lucy spent one month at Watershed Studios as part of the first year of her practice-based PhD, where she is researching relationships between play and the ways in which people relate to and care for waterways in urban environments.Through walking, drawing and slow-stitching water patterns into agar agar and gelatine-based bioplastics, she built a living archive of her encounters with the River Corrib. The outcome is a series of relationalities between more-than-human knowledge and the embellishment of human imagination.
Congratulations to Sally Goldner, presenter of Out of the Pan, on her award for Outstanding Contribution to Media at the Victorian Pride Awards on Saturday 15 August. 'This is a first', Sally said accepting the award, 'A queer media award to someone who plays music of all the non-binary kinds, country, western, and classic rock. Oh yeah!'
'I want to thank 3CR in its 50th year for being a leader in Melbourne and the broader not-for-profit and amazing community radio sectors for their 21-year support of Out of the Pan. They’ve been so well placed to be a proactive media leader standing with trans and gender diverse people, and for their support of me personally.'
'Stay difficult. And stay happy. Stay proudly queer. And that’s the bottom line, because Sal Goldner said so!'
Get along to The Boite’s annual fundraiser for 3CR THIS Sunday 2 August, featuring community choirs who generously donate their songs in a fabulous concert at Church of All Nations, Carlton.
