PhotoStatic - xerography magazine
PhotoStatic was a magazine, a periodical series of printed works that focused on xerography as the source of a particular visual language that was widely used by graphic artists in the various art and music underground scenes of the 80s and 90s. During this time, the publication served as a forum to collect and redistribute artworks that originated in these scenes. Eventually, its scope extended to embrace not only graphic works, but also concrete poetry, correspondence art, ephemera from works in other media, essays, fiction, reviews, and reports on various cultural scenes, including Neoism, the home taping community, the zine community, and mail art.

Art Blog links
We have been receiving and collecting links for Art Blogs on
furtherfield for a little while now. And we thought that it might be a
good idea to see who else is out there currently creating 'Art Blogs'.
We are particularly interested in finding 'art blogs' that are created
as 'art objects/pieces/works of art', and blogs observing, writing about
net art & meda arts culture.

Tracey Emin - Venice Biennale
Artist Tracey Emin is to represent Britain at the world's longest-running international art exhibition.
The British Council has chosen the controversial artist to produce a show of new work for the British Pavilion at next year's 52nd Venice Biennale.
She will be the second woman to produce a solo show for the UK at the Venice Biennale, following Rachel Whiteread in 1997.

SEEKER
LEON CMIELEWSKI & JOSEPHINE STARRS
25 AUGUST-23 SEPTEMBER 2006 | OPENS 6PM THURSDAY 24 AUGUST
GALLERY TALK 4PM FRIDAY 25 AUGUST
Leon Cmielewski and Josephine Starrs' visual art practice focuses primarily on the relationship between society, the machine and the individual, often using play as a strategy for engaging with the social and political contradictions inherent in contemporary society. SEEKER uses a series of large projected screen-based artworks to explore migration, territorial boundaries, conflict commodities and human displacement.
"SEEKER not only traces the global movement of people and resources, but also illustrates the ongoing process of translation from the physical to the virtual in the way we perceive the world. Translation implies a desire to communicate; each person who engages with SEEKER will be prompted to consider what is lost and what is gained, what is repressed and what is discovered in the process" [Fiona Trigg, Contemporary Commonwealth 2006 catalogue eassay]
Cmielewski & Starrs are artists that have been collaborating off and on for the past decade or more, doing new media work, video and animation.
Formerly from South Australia and now residing in Sydney, their works have been shown extensively in Australia and internationally. Their collaborative projects include "Trace" mixed media installation commissioned by the Sydney Records Centre in 2002, "Dream Kitchen", an interactive stop-motion animatioin published on CD-ROM and their digital video "a.k.a.".
In 2003 their work "Bio-tek Kitchen", a computer game modification, was included in the "House of Tomorrow" exhibition mounted by Experimenta, Melbourne, and was also exhibited in Chicago and Germany.
Cmielewski & Starrs also exhibited at ISEA2004 with "Floating Territories", a site-specific mixed media installation.
Leon Cmielewski lectures at the School of Communication, Design & Media, University of Western Sydney, and is a current recipient of a New Media Art Fellowship from the Australia Council.
Josephine Starrs lectures at the Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, and was awarded an Asialink grant to undertake an artist residency at Sarai, the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in Delhi, India, in 2005.

photogravure - Baldessin Press
========================
A photogravure is a hand pulled photographic print made from a printing plate. The original photograph becomes a beautifully textured and individual Intaglio etching, that results from the combination of fine art papers, archival inks and the etching press. Silvi Glattauer's photogravure prints are the combination of the 19th century traditional photographic process, with 21 st century technological innovations. Silvi combines digital media and photo sensitive photopolymer printing plates with traditional etching techniques. Where the original process of photogravure required hazardous acids, asphalt and environmentally unfriendly copper, contemporary photogravure is a non toxic friendly technique that gives the photographer / printmaker safer work practices. Silvi offers photogravure workshops at the Baldessin Press in St Andrrews, Victoria. Refer to the workshops page for full details on upcoming programs.

transversal on critique
critique | kritik | crĂtica
To the extent that it does not withdraw to the balconies of academic theory or the bunkers of art criticism, critique is not simply a practice of judging. The meanings of critique, developed over the course of centuries, as a faculty of distinction, a critical attitude, or as a practical critical activity are assuming new forms today: as atopical critique, embodied critique, affirmative critique, criticality. The texts of the current transversal issue seek to update this kind of constant renewal of critique on the basis of shifted or newly invented concepts and exemplary experiences.

Tumultuous Assembly: Visual Poems of the Italian Futurists
August 1, 2006–January 7, 2007
The Getty Center
Words become machines, dancers, and explosions in the visual poetry of the Italian Futurists. Dedicated to freeing language from the bonds of the old order—syntax, punctuation, the horizontal—these polemicists of the new unleashed their "words-in-freedom," broadsheets and prints meant to scandalize, incite, and amuse.
See their tumultuous typography in this exhibition in the Getty Research Institute Exhibition Gallery.

Helen Clarke
My artworks are inspired by the diverse Australian landscape as I find the process of seasonal change fascinating. My hope is for more understanding of the necessity to conserve our unique environment for all.
Helen Clarke is a fine art printmaker who spent her childhood on a farm in the wheatbelt of Western Australia and was surrounded by bush rich in unique flora and fauna which she explored on a daily basis. It is not surprising that, as an adult and an artist, she is intrigued with the diversity and minutiae of the landscape.

An Open Portfolio Exhibition and Sale to Benefit the American Print Alliance
The American Print Alliance is organizing an open portfolio of prints, paperworks and artists’ books by artists who are 2006 subscribers to Contemporary Impressions or members of our allied councils.
Theme The environmental theme will be interpreted broadly to include landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, fauna and flora, conservation and preservation, consumption, pollution, global warming, genetic diversity and endangered species, etc.
Non-toxic and less-toxic methods and materials are highly encouraged. Work must fit the theme but will not be rejected even if it does not reflect the views and opinions of the Alliance's director and board of representatives.
However, the Alliance will not accept any work that incites people to break the law. Political discourse, speech protected by the U.S. Constitution and First Amendment, is very welcome, but as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the Alliance may not campaign for or against candidates for elected office

stencil tutorials
http://www.stencilrevolution.com/tutorials/
==============================
http://www.stencilarchive.org/
Stenciling is the poor persons��� printmaking. It is the easiest and cheapest way to print the same image over and over on different surfaces and in different places. To start off, the three most important things for making a stencil are an idea, something to cut with, and something to cut the stencil out of. I cant��� help with the idea part, but you should���t feel like you have to be an artist to do this. One of the great things about stencils is that since each print looks the same and consists of only a positive and negative, it makes almost all designs look really sharp and good.
++++++++++++++
This is a quick way to use photoshop to create that semi-trendy, two-tone silhouette effect.
Cheap screen printing tutorial
Materials needed: a t-shirt, yucky/cheap paint brushes, an embroidery hoop, screen printing ink (I use Speedball brand), a glue that isn't water-soluble (I use Mod Podge), curtain sheer material/tulle/old nylons, and a computer with a printer (or a good hand for drawing things).

Jim Brodie - brisbane
++++++++++++++++++
In the print media department of the Tasmanian School of Art, Launceston, Jim Brodie has confronted `techno‑fear' with studio course work that allows students to engage with computer digitised formulas and creatively manipulate laser copier hardware.
Brodie himself commenced experimentation of this type in his own printmaking in the late 1980s. He scanned photographs of the Gold Coast into an Amiga, manipulating them through a `paint program', then translated the results through the Mackintosh system to give higher resolution, printed them out as laser prints before taking the images a stage further by processing them on photo‑sensitised screens or plates. Jim Brodie's CAD or `computer‑aided design' screenprints and etchings are but a further demonstration of the interface between art practice of the past and new technology. They prove that there does not need to be a disjunction between past and present but that a more fruitful way of assessing the type of prints I've described is that techno‑creativity often relies upon both. The products of Baraki, Hoffie, Mantzaris, Vidins and Brodie extend our understanding of the aesthetic impulse and necessarily have forced the narrow guild‑based definitions of printmaking to expand. Work produced with the domestic computer and the photocopier celebrates the accessibility and democratisation of the technological process. Technology is a tool for artists to articulate with greater precision, a language commensurate with the present.

Alicia King - Melbourne
Alicia King will be showing current works at the Linden Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne from the 17th of August until mid-September 2006.
Alicia King's installation I'm Growing To Love You in gallery 4, suggests forms both internal and external to the body, in which life may exist, disguised, or in un-recognizable form. Nature is made strange by combining elements of the body, composed of cultured human tissue with fragments from a nature unknown, in an innate metamorphosis between body and environment. This work opens up extended locations and perspectives for subjectivity; a morphosis between fixed form and formlessness; object, body, and space.

========================
... Alicia King just wants people to debate the technology of biology.articleArtist-in-residence at the University of Tasmania School of Medicine, King, 25, has grown a cell "membrane" over her sculptural forms, using a stock line of human tissue cells.
The uni's ethics committee has given her permission to use her own and consenting patients' discarded tissue.
+++++++++++++++
'i'm growing to love you' - March 4 - 24, 2006
An installation by Alicia King
Alicia King is currently studying her PhD (Fine Art) at the University of Tasmania, and is also Artist in Residence at the UTAS School of Medicine, where she is learning tissue culture techniques for growing semi-living sculptural forms from human tissue. Her interests lie in the potential of biological technologies to influence the human perception of 'self' within the natural world. Her practice sits within a broader field of endeavour currently undertaken by artists internationally, which confronts new concepts of life and self in response to developments in the biomedical field. Contemporary art has an influential role to play addressing these issues within the public realm, and generating critical cultural discussion.

For most non-indigenous Australians, the sense of a connection to this land rests somewhere within an uncomfortable relationship between experiences of here and memories of elsewhere. Both exploration of this difficult relationship and my interest in the role of women in the Australian landscape have formed the basis for this body of work.

Aotearoa Digital Arts - NZ
ADA was born of the observation that although new media artists were often highly networked in terms of both their own practice and their professional relationships, there was no national organization drawing together those with a common interest in digital art. This recognition suggested the irreversible importance of place against the frictionless communication enabled, in theory, by network technologies.
ADA is a network by the simplest of means: it is open, un-moderated and self-defining. Members of ADA are artists, curators, writers, and teachers with some kind of affiliation to New Zealand.
In material terms ADA is an email-discussion list, a website, and three face-to-face symposia: the first, in 2003, at Waikato University, Hamilton, the second at Auckland University of Technology, the third at Otago University in Dunedin, and the fourth, in 2006, hosted by the Western Institute of Technology, in New Plymouth.
In the absence of a dedicated physical space for development of new media projects, ADA enables the sharing of practices, and contributes towards a very real sense of a digital media community in New Zealand.

Prints Now: Directions & Definitions
24 May to 26 November 2006
Room 88a and the Julie and Robert Breckman Prints & Drawings Gallery, Room 90
All these innovations prompt the question: what is a print? The term now encompasses everything from the stencilled guerrilla graphics of graffiti artists such as Banksy, to museum-sponsored billboards, appropriated or found material which is then modified, a cake iced with a laser-jet printed image, printed MDF floors, wallpapers and soft furnishings designed for installations. In recent years printmaking has co-opted painting and sculpture, dress and domestic furnishings, commerce and cyberspace. Dynamic and democratic, the world of printmaking now includes the billboard and the badge, the masterpiece and the multiple, the priceless and the give-away.
