Sydney Festival 2021 + Australian Design Centre No images? Click here Australian Made: Sydney Festival 2021 + Australian Design Centre Sydney Festival 2021 has launched its Australian Made program. In his fifth and final year as Festival Director, Wesley Enoch’s program focuses on recovering, reconnecting and reinvigorating Australia’s artists and communities after this challenging year for the creative sector. This year the festival will celebrate the best that Australia has to offer with our internationally acclaimed artists and creative companies presenting new theatre, dance, live music and much more. The people of Sydney are invited to enjoy and explore over 140 events, performances, exhibitions, talks and experiences, many of them free, during 6 – 26 January. We are delighted to announce that Australian Design Centre is part of this exciting program. We are presenting two exhibitions, multiple workshops, maker talks and a special Sydney Festival edition of our renowned Makers Market. On show from 26 November 2020 is the exhibition Isolate | Make: Creative Resilience in a Pandemic. In response to Covid-19, we invited nine makers to participate in this project. Working across a diversity of practice, these local makers share their creative process and final works made during Covid-19. During the Festival in January there will be a range of artist talks and workshops. Join paper engineer Benja Harney for a creative papermaking workshop on Wednesday 20 January 2021 and take a relaxed clay workshop with artist and ceramicist Glenn Barkley on Thursday 21 January 2021. Also launching 26 November 2020, Design Isolate explores how creative practice may have changed for makers during this year either as a result of social isolation, the associated restrictions and production challenges, or simply in response to the tragic global events. 60+ designers/creative thinkers document their thoughts on Covid-19, isolation, what ‘a new normal’ Australia might look like in a handmade journal with sketches, diagrams, collage and text. Join designer and educator Melinda Young for two creative journaling workshops on 14 January 2021and also a panel of designers will be discussing their creative experiences during Covid19 that evening. Mark in your diary the Sydney Festival edition of ADC’s boutique Makers Market.

  • Fulltimeoperationsince1996
    | 23 is 10! | Welcome to a celebration of our 10th birthday. First a word from Tony MacGregor, Chair of the Open City Board of Management. This company was established by Keith Gallasch and Virginia Baxter in 1987 for the collaborative works they performed in theatres, galleries and on radio. In 1994 Open City began to publish RealTime+OnScreen which has been a fulltime operation since 1996. FROM THE CHAIR I’ve been free-associating around those words—real, time—looking for a RT61 JUNE / JULY 04 way into writing about this thing I’ve been hovering around for these past 10 years. Longer really, because RealTime was an idea long before it was a reality, one of those determinations that Keith Gallasch and Virginia Baxter make and then work into existence: “mainstream theatre criticism is hopeless, we need a journal that deals properly with the per- formance community in all its hybrid, messy complexity.” (Or words to that effect.) And, lo, it was so. How many ideas have taken shape, been given form in the endless conversa- tion around that generous wooden table in the kitchen at Womerah Avenue, Darlinghurst where Gallasch and Baxter have lived since their arrival from Adelaide in 1986? Like so many projects which have been founded on their energy and ideas—Troupe in Adelaide, Open City, all those performances—once deemed A Good Idea, RealTime seemed inevitable, an idea made real through that seemingly irresistible combination of clear argument, creative invention, per- sonal passion, A-grade grant writing The RealTime team: Keith Gallasch, Dan Edwards, Gail Priest, Virginia Baxter Heidrun Löhr skills and the sheer bloody mindedness that they bring to all their projects.

    NAVA: in conversation, Episode 22 [Introduction Music] Voiceover: The National Association for the Visual Arts is the peak body protecting and promoting the professional interests of the Australian visual arts. NAVA: in conversation is a series exploring the issues and challenges of working in the sector. We speak with artists, curators and administrators to gain insight into the experiences of contemporary practice and seek to propose ideas for change, progress and resilience in both local and global contexts. [Music] Esther Anatolitis: Hi I’m Esther Anatolitis I’m the Executive Director at NAVA and I’m here with Mami Kataoka she is the Artistic Director of Sydney Biennale and we’re sitting in Gallery 4A and you’re going to hear some sounds maybe of installing, maybe of painting. Mami, tell us what’s happening here? Mami Kataoka: Yes, 4A is one of the seven venues for 21st Biennale of Sydney and 4A became a partner venue for the first time in its history. Esther Anatolitis: Oh, that’s great. Mami Kataoka: And so, we are showing two artists, Akira Takayama and Jun Yang and both are investigating the idea of migration, refugee and how culture has sort of come together with the people and so it’s about something in common, but two different projects. Esther Anatolitis: And that really central to what you’re doing with Superposition, that there might be something in common but there’s a contrast and a tension. Let’s talk about that because I have long been fascinated with the concept of thermodynamic equilibrium, I’m fascinated by this idea that when see some kind of system, a chemical system, a weather system, a complex system, when we assume it’s at equilibrium that is perhaps how it seems from a distance, but if we come up close then we’re seeing the greatest movement and the greatest exchange, the greatest generative tension.

  • Opera House Goes Green for Carbon-Neutral Vivid Live
    OPERA HOUSE GOES GREEN FOR CARBON - NEUTR A L VIVID LIVE Use of 100% Green Power, fuel-efficient artist transport and food-surplus donations help reduce carbon footprint during Vivid LIVE Sydney, Australia – Thursday, 21 May 2015: The Sydney Opera House announced today that it will be carbon neutral for the 10 nights of Vivid LIVE, as part of Vivid Sydney, the largest festival of its kind in the world – an achievement made possible through a number of green initiatives that will reduce the environmental impact of the annual contemporary music takeover. NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant said: “As the centrepiece of Vivid Sydney festival, Vivid LIVE is demonstrating that we can enliven our city and create great social places while addressing our collective environmental impact. Today’s announcement is testament to the environmental awareness and action of everyone involved in creating this incredible event at the Opera House.” Sydney Opera House CEO Louise Herron AM said: “Our mission is to inspire people through everything we do. Vivid LIVE, presented in partnership with Destination NSW, is all about showcasing the most ambitious and innovative artists in contemporary music, but it goes far beyond that. We’ve taken a similarly ambitious approach with our sustainability initiatives and I am thrilled that this year Vivid LIVE will also be carbon neutral.” The Opera House is taking a number of steps to reduce the carbon footprint of Vivid LIVE: All electricity used for Vivid LIVE 2015 events – including the iconic Lighting of the Sails – will be powered by 100% Green Power from accredited renewable sources Fuel-efficient transport will be used for artist transfers as available (approximately 35 transfers) Surplus food from events and artist catering will be donated to the food-rescue charity OzHarvest 200 artists and crew will receive reusable water bottles rather than bottled water – saving an estimated 6,000 plastic water bottles across the event Switching to electronic marketing where possible to reduce printed materials.
