In April 2006, to celebrate naturalist David Attenborough's 80th birthday, the public were asked to vote on their favourite of his television moments. This clip of the lyrebird was voted number one.
A Lyrebird is either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds, most notable for their extraordinary ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment.

Over a period of 100 days artist James Rosenquist, with master printer Ken Tyler, produced 720 sheets of handmade, hand-coloured paper forming the basis of the series which combines commonplace objects like pots and flowers to objects with extra-terrestrial imagery. Using brilliant luminous colours on a massive scale these works show earth as a rich but vulnerable planet under threat from a growing consumer culture.

youth of today - press release
THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE PRESENTS A SURVEY OF HOW ARTISTS SEE PRESENT-DAY YOUTH SCENARIOS
THE YOUTH OF TODAY
7 April – 25 June 2006
Press preview: Thursday, 6 April 2006, 11.00 a.m.
A growing emphasis on the media, individuality, and commercialism is producing a constantly increasing diversity of youth scenes. Girlies, greasers, hooligans, rappers, ravers, streetballers, train surfers, traceurs, and yamakasis are just some of these disparate “artificial tribes” to which today’s young people feel they belong. Whereas during the cold war of youth cultures one still had to decide between clear alternatives like punk or pop, young people today, as a rule, pass through a whole series of scenes. This exhibition shows how contemporary art confronts the various life worlds of teens, twens, and postadolescent thirty-somethings whose experience of youth culture often extends into their family lives and careers. This presentation of the 160 works of 50 international artists such as the Young British Artist Tracey Emin, the American photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia, and a large number of newcomers will outline the influences of youth culture on society’s aesthetic and political realms.
The exhibition “The Youth of Today” is sponsored by Sireo Real Estate. Additional support comes from the Mondriaan Foundation, The British Council, as well as from the Embassy of the United States of America and the Embassy of Canada in Berlin.
Matthias Ulrich, curator of the exhibition: “Instead of offering still another category after the ‘Golf Generation’ and the ‘Reform Generation,’ the exhibition is mainly concerned with tracing the connections and inconsistencies within the worlds of young people and their different life forms and to open heterogeneous ways into adulthood from there. Both the subjects and the aesthetics of the works presented reflect the wide range of options informing the way today’s young people feel in a positive and in a negative sense.”
The enormous variety of youth scenarios, styles, and genres mirror a chaotic and ambivalent field of young people’s cultural production. The adolescent generation’s universe is accompanied by a multi-media flood of information which clings to it like its second nature and resolves contradictions, or so it seems. There is no generation conflict, and the thirty-somethings apparently are into the same codes as the teens and twens – in terms of language, music, and clothes. The unisex label not only deterritorializes different bodies and sexes. It also brings forth different strategies of identity formation allowing new social contexts: communities and urban spaces. So what about today’s re-constitution of the (sexual, socio-cultural, urban) subject? What follows from the autonomy of the sexes and the destruction of
traditional role models?
The rebellion – against parents, adults, prevailing values, and the state – so frequently associated with youth also manifests itself in the multi-optional character of an open society. Skaters vs. hippies, punks vs. eager beavers, ravers against the night, and all together against war. The once desirable and timeless ideals have been reduced to human scale and human time. The loss reveals a re-formation of the individual as a post-modern, fragmentized subject. And it is the collage and the assemblage again that – as artistic means refined by computer-based sampling, animation, and digital imaging – permit the creation of a heterogeneous “new” world. Proliferating environments and installations, such as the artist Laura Kikauka’s studio “Funny Farm,” reflect these complex contexts and are the basis for unique possible worlds generating themselves in which comics and psychedelic holography, punk and sexual desire coexist.
The exhibition also explores the relationship between individual and group and the place young people assign themselves in society – issues prevailing in different youth cultures and their lifeworlds. In this regard, the club forms a multi-layered field of forces where young people search for a language of their own – for speechlessness as a different, a physical language – and hope to find an autonomous, exempt space which unites the political, sexual, and aesthetic utopias. The importance of hedonism as a model of the nineties club culture lies in its rejection of intellectual dominance and the subversive role of the body. The body suggests itself as a writable and rewritable surface on which signs freely form units and personal identities constitute themselves. Many of the shown works explore this changed body and present it in surroundings that strike us as claustrophobic. This contrast between bodily and spatial topology is not only a main concern of Pierre Huyghe’s and Collier Schorr’s work but also at the core of Mike Paré’s “Teenage Geography” and Bjarne Melgaard’s reactionary anthropoid apes.
Pose and transformation count among the traditional exercises when it comes to internalizing adult models or rebelling against them. They may also support the personality’s reconstitution and the young people’s individualization when employed as strategies of differentiation between themselves and adult persons. Thus, the significance of pose and transformation is equally undermined though – turning into a “shifter,” as Rosalind Krauss has called it, i.e. a semantic shell that can be moved in all directions without ever taking root. Today’s youth lives in more than just one youth culture, they go through several scenes, one after another or sometimes different ones at the same time. Growing up – whether in a positive or in a negative sense – cannot be seen as an absolute value providing a point of orientation from which today’s youth might derive current forms of meaning. They develop autonomous systems that are complex enough to find no sympathy and flexible enough to combine with other systems. Complexity
primarily describes the end of universal aims and the possibility of singularization. Matt Greene’s Gothic post-hippie dreamscapes reminiscent of de Sade, and Rita Ackermann’s girl paradises full of tough Lolita vamps all strike us as equally closed and untouchable microcosms.

NAIDOC week
Our past and our future are interconnected. In the circle of life as we move from the past to the future we must always remember and respect everything in the past. Our history, our culture, our traditions, our ancestors and our own experiences. This way we can walk into the future with respect and confidence.
Poster Competition: The winner for this year is Charmaine Green from Geraldton in Western Australia.=============================================
National NAIDOC - What is Naidoc?
NAIDOC celebrations are held around Australia in the first full week in July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week (see History of NAIDOC), and its acronym has become the name of the week itself.
The week is celebrated not just in the Indigenous community, but also in increasing numbers of government agencies, schools, local councils and workplaces.
View ideas on how to celebrate NAIDOC Week.
In addition to the many local activities, NAIDOC celebrations traditionally have a ‘national focus’:
- a national focus city or town is chosen - this year it is Cairns,QLD
- celebrations are based on a national theme - the theme for 2006 is Respect the Past - Believe in the Future
- a national NAIDOC poster based on the theme is distributed, chosen from entries to the NAIDOC Poster Competition
- celebrations culminate in an awards ceremony and ball held in the focus city -in 2006 the National NAIDOC Ball will be held at the Cairns Convention Centre on Saturday 8 July
- at the ball, national awards are given to Indigenous achievers in a number of categories.
For many years, the Australian Government has been the major funding contributor to national focus activities.
Wherever you live, taking part in NAIDOC Week is a great way to celebrate Indigenous culture and build bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Een knallend feestje…
… wordt het. Daar zullen de Happy Famous Artists wel voor zorgen, zoals mag blijken uit de foto hiernaast. Happy Famous Artists is een kunstenaarsduo dat wij met plezier langs de grote deur binnen laten. Nu zijn wij zelf sowieso zeer te spreken over de klasse die langs alle kanten van de line-up voor onze ‘Kom je op mijn feestje’ expo afspat, maar dan nog is het nu al zonder meer duidelijk dat de Happy Famous Artists bij de absolute blikvangers gaan horen. Inventief en radicaal, speels en geëngageerd. Op hun vieruurtje zal er wel wat straffers bij de taart worden geserveerd dan een zwart bakje of twee. Shock art and booze for thought.

Aboriginal Art Museum - Paris
Paris to showcase Indigenous art
By Sabra Lane for The World Today
Paris is set to introduce millions of people to the wonders of Australian Indigenous art.
On June 23, President Jacques Chirac will open the city's newest museum, the Musee du Quai Branly.
Tucked away near the Eiffel Tower, it is a multi-million dollar monument to non-Western art and it will permanently pay homage to Australia's Indigenous culture.
The museum commissioned eight artists to fill more than 2,500 square metres of the buildings ceilings, walls and facades.
Hetti Perkins, co-curator of the Australian Indigenous art component, says it is President Chirac's pet project.
"So you don't get any better credentials than that really," she said.
"What's wonderful for us as Australians is that the architect Jean Nouvel included in his winning proposal for the new museum the idea that Australian Indigenous artists only would make works that would become part of the permanent fabric of one of the buildings on the site," she said.
While there will be specific small pieces of art within the gallery, the walls and ceiling of the building have become a huge canvas, wrapped in images from the Dreamtime and more contemporary visions of Australia.
Ms Perkins says choosing the eight artists to work on the project was the hardest part.
"As we all know in Australia we're privileged to share in one of the world's most dynamic contemporary art movements as well as being inheritors of the oldest continuous cultural tradition in the world," she said.
Twenty-four hours a day, people will be able to marvel at work and be inspired.
Ms Perkins explains what some of it will look like.
"Tommy Watson's work is a series of enamelled stainless steel panels which have been fixed to the top floor ceiling, and his work's very expressive and bright, the colouring's very vivid, pinks and greens and yellows and whites, so in my imagination it's almost as if people are looking up to this building during the day or night, it's almost like a display of fireworks exploding in the sky of Paris," she said.
Gulumbu Yunupingu, 59, from Arnhem Land is a relative newcomer to art. She picked up her first brush just six years ago.
Her work has been replicated on a huge ceiling in the museum.
She says it is called Garak, which means "the universe", and was inspired by stories handed down through the generations.
"It's not for myself and my family but for everyone, we have this universe all around, this universe and it's amazing to see stars," she said.

Marrianne Collinson Campbell
Wildflowers on the Web
Containing 87 watercolours, Marrianne Collinson Campbell’s album Wild flowers, fruit and butterflies of Australia has now been digitised. The album was acquired by the Library in 2005 and is a beautiful example of the way in which nineteenth century Australian women painted as a pastime. It provides an insight into the life of a member of the Campbell family who were early settlers in the Canberra region.
Many of the botanical species depicted have been identified by National Library volunteer Barrie Hadlow.
To view images from the album, visit www.nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an3409703

2006 Biennale of Sydney
ZONES OF CONTACT: 2006 BIENNALE OF SYDNEY
The MCA is pleased to announce the arrival of the much anticipated 2006 Biennale of Sydney. Opening on 8 June the 2006 Biennale features 85 artists from around the world and involves a number of venues across Sydney.
The conceptual framework Zones of Contact is described by Artistic Director & Curator Dr Charles Merewether as “the experience of having one’s homeland occupied or of living in another person’s culture and the sense of physical, psychological and cultural displacement that arises”.
Highlights of the 2006 Biennale at the MCA include New York artists Julie Mehretu and Stephen Vitiello. Ethiopian-born Mehretu will create a new large-scale wall painting in-situ at the MCA, as a response to music by her collaborator Vitiello. Hassan Khan, born in London and now working in Egypt, presents a video work of interviews he conducted with people on the streets of Cairo.
For information on participating venues and a full Biennale program visit www.bos2006.com.

Youth of the Day
A growing emphasis on the media, individuality, and commercialism is producing a constantly increasing diversity of youth scenes. Girlies, greasers, hooligans, rappers, ravers, streetballers, train surfers, and wakeboarders are just some of these disparate “artificial tribes” to which young people today feel they belong. Whereas during the cold war of youth cultures one still had to decide between clear alternatives like punk or pop, young people today, as a rule, pass through a whole series of scenes. This exhibition shows how contemporary art confronts the various life worlds of teens, twens, and postadolescent thirtysomethings whose experience of youth culture often continues into their family lives and careers. This presentation of the works of sixty international artists such as the Young British Artist Tracey Emin, the newcomer Sue de Beer, or the American photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia will outline the influences of youth culture on the society’s aesthetic and political realms.

Mailing List Management
As a topic, Professional practice is something that is largely overlooked in the art blogging world. Bellebyrd aims to remedy this with a new regular feature.
Today's article looks at mailing lists. It is now a matter of clicking a button to start a mailing list, anyone can set one up. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of list owners have the necessary management experience to maintain an active list, or to manage the competition.
The following illustrative example outlines one common scenario involving List A, an existing list, and List B, a new but similar list. This example is simplified for clarity. The actual process may take longer, over a period of several projects. The end result is the same. List B closes from inactivity and List A recruits a new membership.
List A has been around for a while, its management is by a 'committee' headed by Owner A and financed by the list's activities and 'special projects'. Owner B decides to establish a similar list but with his own unique angle and drawing from the same group demographics. How will list A maintain its market share?

Owner B decides to establish a similar list but with his own unique angle and drawing from the same group demographics. How will list A maintain its market share?
- Owner B starts setting up the infrastructure for List B and sends out invitations to join, drawing on his unique resources.
- List A endorses List B and several A List committee members (ACM) join List B.
- ACM take an active part in List B. They are friendly and helpful.
- List B runs [special project #1] as a promotional tool. List A continues its normal activities also running special projects.
- ACM take an active part in the List B [special project #1] , offering advice and assistance. Volunteering gives them access to confidential information, and direct access to the project members.
- Members of List B start to join List A at the invitation of the friendly ACM. List B members purchase goods through List A. ACM prepare a series of special projects to meet future demand.
- The List B [special project #1] draws to a conclusion. Owner B starts discussing plans for his next project. ACM offer advice and assistance, guiding owner B. Owner B is grateful for the assistance.
- Members of List B join a List A special project. List A runs an additional project to meet the rise in demand.
- Owner B is having difficulties running [special project #1]. The advice from the ACM doesnt seem to be working and the demand for his product has fallen.
- By the time the B list [special project #1] is completed, most of the members of list B are members of List A and participating in List A projects.
- ACM reduce their activities on list B, taking recruitment action when a new member joins. List B takes a fall in activity.
- Owner B discusses his plans to run a new [special project #2].
- ACM start running the preprepared special projects and sign up more List B members.
- Owner B starts [special project #2]. Only the ACM sign up, everyone else from List B is too busy on List A doing List A projects. List A enjoys the increased revenue from List B members.
- [special project #2] folds.
- At this point the B list is inactive.
- B List folds.

Theo van Rysselberghe
10 June 2006 - 24 September 2006
gemeente museum
Flemish artist Théo van Rysselberghe (1862-1926) is one of the most important figures in the field of Neo-impressionism. He introduced the Pointillist technique of Seurat and Signac in Belgium and played a major role in the group of avant-garde Brussels artists known as "Les XX" (Les Vingt). This exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum will include not only a large number of well-known masterpieces, but also works from private collections which have never previously been seen by the public. It will be the first ever major retrospective of this influential painter to be held in the Netherlands.
