Brooke Ferguson is a Brisbane based artist. Ferguson completed her Bachelor of Fine Art (in Visual Art) with Honours at the Queensland University of Technology in 2011. Working across different media, recent projects take the form of drawings, installation, sound and collaboration. Her process-based practice reflects a continued interest in simple materials, activities and gestures to generate potential artworks. Marcel Duchamp’s concept of Infra-mince, with its concern for incidental phenomenon and unquantifiable boundaries, provides a model for Ferguson’s approach to media.


Brooke has been active in Brisbane’s Artist-Run Initiative scene, having exhibited with No Frills*, inbetweenspaces and Boxcopy. She is Metro Arts 2011 Artist in Residence.

Eve Roleston is a Gold Coast based artist whose work explores and links her multifaceted identity with the physical and perceptual world. And relates intimate images to broader social and cultural issues including gender, identity and relationships with dolphins in today’s society. Her artistic language operates at a certain level of symbolic abstraction in order to evoke universal human experiences from specific marine encounters. Eeeeewwwwwssssppphhhhhh!

..
Room40's Open Frame festival continues its annual survey of esoteric music and media arts.

In 2011, Open Frame welcomes one of the true icons of 21st Century sound art - New York's Marina Rosenfeld. Known for epic performance works and highly personalised sound situations, she has presented works at the Tate Modern, NYMOMA and countless festivals. We've managed to score her ONLY east coast performance and she will be delivering a trademark solo turntable work, composed for her own specially cut dubplates.

We also play host to a special entourage from Tokyo including the legendary melodic minimalists Minamo, 12K post-pop artist Moskitoo and the highly regarded Fourcolor whose new album 'As Pleat' has been heralded as "mesmerising and unique", by Fluid Radio in the UK.

Following epic successes in Europe and an ever growing array of acclaimed releases Our Love Will Destroy The World arrives in Brisbane for the very first time promising to deliver a massive wash of tectonic tones and savage harmony. Australian audio-visualist Scott Morrison also hits Open Frame to launch his new dvd edition 'Ballads For Quiet Horizons', featuring a collection of his individual landscape deconstructions.

Under the Radar presents Macrophonics: music machines, virtual instruments and audio-visual performance.

From the September 20-24 Brisbane Festival presents a striking program of music and audio-visual works for new technologies at Metro Arts. Presented as part of the festival’s experimental program Under the Radar, Macrophonics assembles an array of adventurous performance work that explores the interface between humans and machines in performance.

From sensor based microphone and guitar systems to autonomous robots, post-rock dronescapes and experimental electronica, the program includes music, audio visual and installation works by leading Australian sound and media artists Donna Hewitt, Julian Knowles, Wade Marynowsky and Tim Bruniges, with choreography by Avril Huddy

The program features a number of works for the eMic, a new sensor based microphone stand designed by Donna Hewitt. The eMic allows the performer to manipulate their voice in real time by capturing their movements via sensing devices including pressure sensors, distance sensors, tilt sensors, ribbon sensors and a joystick microphone mount.

The progam also features a new work for guitar, sensors and electronics by Julian Knowles, robotics based work from Wade Marynowsky (finalist in the Qld Premier’s National New Media Art Award) and live a/v works from Tim Bruniges best known for his work with Decoder Ring and The Dead Sea

Co-curator and performer Julian Knowles said this is a chance for audiences to experience a national survey of  music and a/v work for new performance interfaces developed by the artists with support from a range of international institutions, including the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Queensland, STEIM (Holland) and the Nes Artist Residency (Iceland).

Under the Radar invites Brisbane audiences to discover the work of an impressive line-up of progressive artists throughout Brisbane Festival from 3 - 24 September 2011.

Brisbane Festival Artistic Director Noel Staunton said Under the Radar provides a platform for artists to take a risk and experiment with art form, while supported within Brisbane Festival.

“I urge the people of Brisbane to get out there and try something new, buy a ticket and see where it takes you,” Mr Staunton said.
