delayed update into 2018

 

2017 was probably biggest project to date.. 2018 working on new slow form works to start – landscapes and extended views out to particular vantages of locations visited. The wonder of the gaze, of looking out, beyond and anew.

Tension Sketch 3 at Images Contre Nature 2017

This festival in Marseille was one of the first to present my work in an international context back in 2004 and I’ve been consistently presenting with them since. I’m sure one day I will be able to attend and share a hello with Claude and his wonderful festival. Thanks again and congrats to another terrific edition Team P’Silo.

Negative Drone

Always a treat to work with Room 40 and in particular with this treatment for Lawrence English’s new release “Cruel Optimism” A record that hits many sentiments I share and views towards how the world turns current – I guess also in saying as such – Happy New Year, let’s keep our positive and our outwards love more stronger and brighter than ever.

Villa Waldberta and Frameless Festival, Munich

Unfortunately due to a family matter I’ve had to return home to Australia and not continue with the amazing space/perspectives made available through Daniel Bürkner and Karin Zwack of the Frameless Festival and the staff of the Villa Waldberta artist residency. This also means I cannot present my new live AV show for the Frameless October event. I’m terribly disappointed in not being able to continue what was started and had been built over a near two year development. Sometimes, you need to react to whats truly important and I’m in the right place current. But I cannot thank all involved enough in a truly humbling and inspired experience. Hold those close to you closer than you usually do.

2015

siteJan2015So the year is underway. New directions and new thinkings towards how these things get done. 2014 was one of so so so much love and joy amongst those close but what a dark year for the external world beyond. Challenges and tensions continue throughout ongoing as 2015 rolls.  I’ve got a bunch works very much in progress as the head and heart wrestle with it all. Be good to one another.

Doing a short live set for the Project Pixel event as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival on Saturday the 27th at Goodtime Studios. I’ve finished some new edits for my dear friend April Surgent for her new exhibition based on her recent expedition to the Antarctic. I’ll post some video once the show opens in a couple of weeks. Another install for the a colourful storm crew at the Mercat and a project in early December for the pop-up MPavilion at the NGV. Great, fun projects to round out a busy 2014.

Canada in the Summertime

So I’ve escaped the joys of a Melbourne winter and taken up at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. I’m taking daily treks about the place, and so far its pretty damn impressive. Everything here is just a little more hyper and intense than I’ve known. I’m exploring with my camera as I go with intentions for a new body of work to come. It’s amazing how the light is different this side of the world, the trip well supported by the wonderful people at Arts Victoria. Thanks.BanffSite

October Sydney shows (x2)

Really chuffed to be returning home somewhat to Sydney town. I’ll be presenting my Chronology Arts Commission with Monika Brooks on Thursday the 3rd at the Seymour Centre, really great team who have organised the program and I know most of the performers also, great company to be working with again. Then the following night on the 4th a solo AV performance for the guys running the Tin Shed Spots evenings within the Architecture Department at Sydney University.

Looking forward to the return of friendly faces and presenting new work, info for each below!

MonikaChronologyRecscurrently working on a commissioned project with the rather great Monika Brooks (hit the pic above) it’s a collab we’ve wanted to do for ages and has come about in large part to the excellent chronology arts. It’s a full finished AV work for a DVD compilation and performance outcome(s) for the 3rd of October. You can track and contribute to the project, a real treat to be working on for sure.

Queensland Poetry Festival was fun, Lawrence and I made a wonderful racket, I think it went down ok…

Channels Festival is showing small choir in a program, it’s a fantastic event organised via some really great people, if in Melbourne I recommend totally checking it out. They are also running parts of the program with a partner festival, Ikono.

updates…

first summer of living melbourne proper has been great and now 2013 is really kicking into gear. working on a new work for a group show at Beam in a couple of months and also some collaborative projects i’ll detail soon enough. I recently spent some chats and emails with the lovely and terrific Jessie Scott. Jessie runs the excellent Tape Projects and contacted me towards her ongoing series Mediums at her PictureSkew website, worth a bookmark for sure, it’s rather prolific and interesting reads always.

I also was written into an article entitled micro-niche for Art Monthly via Jane O’Neill, which was rather cool also. here’s to being busy.

more to come…

Delayed Updates

Been a little busy of late. Moved myself down south to Melbourne. Studio set and have had a bunch of projects and life re-arrangements keeping me going no problem. It’s really great to be down here, loads of terrific people I’ve sorely missed constant company with. It’s a little bit great. New work upcoming at Beam, working hard towards. But I guess some kind’ve update would be good.

JAPAN. What can I say. Amazing and wonderful. Beautiful country with fantastic people everywhere. Too short a trip and will hopefully be back again soon. Inspired and amazed, Keiichi, Sanae, Tetsuro, Daiki, Junji and Float. You guys rule and really made my trip.

Since returning, I worked with Lawrence and Werner as part of the Liquid Architecture Festival. Lot’s of fun and the work presented itself well. Was great to have Werner out and more to come in the near future regarding the evolving nature of this work.

I got to meet and collaborate with Marco for Serial Space’s wonderful and inspired Time Machine Festival also.  Lot’s of fun and a great person to work with.

I’ll aim to have some visual documentation up in the near future. It’s been a little busy.

New solo work calls.

Movements, Reviews, One Re-focused

So time for change upcoming, packing my bags current for a move south. Be enjoying you soon Melbourne town. Some additional ballad(s) reviews have come in, my thanks to Peter Lach-Newinsky for the translation on one. I’m in Brisbane this weekend (13th-15th) for another Cage dedication with Lawrence English. It’s a pretty great program in dedication of a wonderful human being. Also, look out Japan, I’ll be visiting your shores come early May. I’m playing a live version of ballad(s) come the 6th, details to come… lots!

 

‘Let’s imagine Wolfgang Voigt had made video the basis of his gas/lead project – and worked in a more focussed and dense way: then somthing like these six excellent pieces of this debut DVD might have resulted.
Scott Morrison from Sydney – who has already been travelling the international circuit for the last few years – creates moving three-dimensional textures and patterns that take their time in a very pleasant way using simple nature recordings (wind-ploughed meadows, rain in the dark…), montages and mirrorings, flickering cuts (including a Brakhage dedication) and narrow-band focus (including Bokeh effects). Serial, geometric, graphic meditations (no ballads!) in almost unnoticeable, softly breaking arcs which rest in the clarity of their play with natural abstraction: a strongly realised concept. The music? Simply diegetic sound expanded with drone which could, if necessary, have done without the images but only develops true power together with them. Transporting.

a new year, mona foma and some ballad(s) reviews

2012 is off and away, the year is still young and already i’m full on with projects.

MONA FOMA was an absolute treat to be part of, i can’t speak highly enough of this event and thanks to everyone involved. it’s an absolute must not only towards the festival and gallery itself, but also getting down and exploring Tasmania, i am a convert MOFO. Thankyou.

In 2011 I joined the Room40 family, and early this year I’ve joined another, I can’t speak highly enough of Kyle and Simone at Beam Contemporary. My work transmission showed with them last year for their Screenspace gallery, and I’m working on another solo show for them later in 2012. Wonderful people, wonderful gallery. I’m part of a group show mid Feb as they launch their year ahead. Be sure to pop in when in Melbourne town.

I’ve had a couple of reviews come my way recently towards the Room40 edition. See below, thank you for the kind words and time taken to appreciate what i do.

Meraviglioso indeed.

transmission in melbourne

showing till 21st of May. 

screenspace 30 guildford lane melbourne

transmission is a work that expands on my interest in the abstraction and play of the rural landscape. It’s a constantly looping piece that has no defined start or end, rather a cyclical field of wave and motion where the sonic elements being abstractions of the found sound align and depart from the 3-channel deep immersion of natural rhythm encountered.

for the interim…
