09 OK Cr Prof Base Graeme.Pub
Graeme Base I was born in England in 1958, but have lived in Australia since I was a kid. I always wanted to be an artist and studied graphic design at Swinburne College of Technology then worked for two unhappy years in a string of design studios before concluding that the world of advertising was not for me. So I decided to be a rockstar instead and formed a band called Rikitikitavi. During this time I also wrote and illustrated my first picture book, My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch (pub. 1983). Three years later Animalia came out – the book which turned a hobby into a career and is still the most popular title I have published. I've tried to stay involved in music over the years, composing an orchestral version of another book, The Sign of the Seahorse, which was performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2001 – an amazing experience! I've written musical stage adaptations of My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch and Jungle Drums and also co-wrote the theme for the animated TV series Animalia with Yuri Worontschak. My most recent picture book is Enigma, published by Penguin in October 2008. There was also a large format book entitled The Art of Graeme Base by Julie Watts, also published in 2008. I live and work in Melbourne with Robyn (she's an artist too) and our three teenage kids. Website: www. graemebase.com Author / Illustrator Questionaire My earliest memory is …..falling on a lump of coal as I tottered down the side of the house and cutting my knee (I still have the scar).

The Journal of Public Space ISSN 2206-9658 2019 | Vol. 4 n. 3 https://www.journalpublicspace.org The Long Game Dan Goronszy [email protected] Abstract The Long Game explores one artwork, The Care Taker, iterated across multiple sites, as a slow and gentle resistance to current divisive political discourses in Australia. By placing a familiar domestic set in public spaces and asking participants to reveal something personal about themselves, the installation places a sense of intimacy and care in public places. Based in Social Acupuncture theory (O’Donnell, 2006) a site responsive practice produces iterations adapted to place, to engage diverse social and cultural audiences in suburban Australia. Using care, kindness and generosity as the foundations of each iteration, the artist considers how gentle transgression or activation of public space can open and connect strangers to each other, and hopefully inspire empathy and kindness which over time may contribute to social change.
