Rana and Nusra Qureshi on now at 4a Gallery
Rana and Nusra Qureshi
"The way you look at me"
When: Friday, 8 July - Saturday, 20 August
Where: 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, 181-187 Hay St Sydney
How much: FREE
Naeem Rana and Nusra Qureshi are both artists of Pakistani birth who have adapted traditional forms of representation to depict their contemporary experience of the world. Having migrated to Australia in 2001, Rana and Qureshi have continued to practice Urdu calligraphy and Mughal miniature painting, and for this exhibition combine them with sculpture and digital photography in a reflection on (in)visibility and adopted spaces. Qureshi's calligraphy is recontextualised within advertising and pop culture and digital media, and Rana has transformed the scope and the scale of the works she creates using techniques for miniatures.
This exhibition offers insights on several levels: into Pakistani art, history and development, and on how the ancient and contemporary can be synthesised. There's also a point being made about how Australian culture has responded to and influenced Rana and Qureshi as people and as artists, perhaps suggesting that they've garnered more recognition as the latter than the former.

"If you wanna fly, you gotta give up the shit that weighs you down." - Toni Morrison
Do you dream of flying? When presented with the dilemma, "fight or flight", is your first instinct to opt for the better part of valour? Have you, through necessity or expedience, had to flee a situation or locale? Do you indulge in flights of fancy? When about to embark on a flight, do feel excitement, anticipation or dread?
An obsession for artists, dreamers, visionaries and inventors throughout time, analogous for ambitions and fantasies, and now such a common practice it's positively mundane. But next time your heading on a flight, just remember you're sitting in a 400 tonne machine, flying through the air, 11 kilometres up in the sky, at around 900 kmh - the correct reaction is FUUCK!

This Is Something You Should Know... Call Out
As part of the “reverse=bread.from(crumbs)” group show that opens at the Vanishing Point Gallery on July 21, I’m going to install a version of my augmented reality artwork, The Information Virus. At previous shows, this work has presented punters with random images and audio recordings pulled from the internets, but this time it’s going to do something different – it’s going to provide content created by you.
What I’m after are short audio recordings (no more than a minute or so) and associated images on the following very broad theme:
“This is something you should know…”
You can interpret this in any way you choose. It could be a declaration of love; some piece of wisdom that life has taught you; a statement about a political issue that isn't getting the airing it deserves; an observation about how amazing it is to do something as simple as lay in the grass or look up at the stars; a restaurant recommendation; an evaluation of a favourite piece of
music/literature/art; a set of tips about fashion/cooking/gardening/sewing/robot-building; a short philosophical/critical rumination; a prediction about the future; whatever.
Just record yourself passing this information/knowledge on to the world (if you don’t have access to an audio recorder, a video that I can pull the audio from will do) and take a picture that relates to it. (If you want to go beyond a simple monologue and create a poem, musical piece, or sound art composition, that would also be welcomed… Actually, that would be freaking awesome.)
Your contribution will become part of the artwork, and you will be credited as one of its creators. (I’m not getting any funding for this, so unfortunately I’m not going to be able to remunerate you for your efforts. I would if I could though…)
The deadline for submissions is July 10. Send any contributions you have to filmcement@gmail.com, and include a short description in the body of the email.
And yes, you'll need one of those elitist smartphones to see the work, but I'll try to get an iPod that anyone at the gallery can use to check it out. And I'll also have some kind of audio player with headphones in the gallery that'll loop through the contributions.
I'm reserving the right to exclude anything that's obnoxiously racist, sexist, homophobic, defamatory or so poorly recorded that it can't be made out, but those are the only limits I have.
Final note about the images: I'll be cutting small triangular thumbnails out of them to texture the virus, so an image with a strong single focus, or detail that looks good when zoomed in on, works best.

LIQUID ARCHITECTURE 12 FESTIVAL OF SOUND ARTS
Liquid Architecture 12: Festival of Sound Arts presents a festival program dedicated to investigations into the traditional lineage and contemporary form of sound art.
Celebrating its twelfth consecutive year, Liquid Architecture presents an exciting touring program of national and international contemporary sound arts. This diverse program, bringing musicians, composers, designers and media artists together in an eclectic mix of local and global talent, features live performance events and installations showcasing the highest quality sound work in an intense focused listening environment, privileging our most unsung sense: listening.
In Sydney, Ultimo becomes the festival hub. ABC Classic FM presents our Performance Concerts series, at The Eugene Goossens Hall, ABC Ultimo. These two Performance Concerts are Free of Charge, by special arrangement.
On Saturday 2nd July at 4pm, Jon Rose’s Project Palimpolin, which will see Rose perform with the interactive electronic k-bow, alongside Lukas Simonis (Netherlands) and Dave Brown (aka candlesnuffer) (Melbourne).
On Saturday 2nd July at 7:30pm, International guests include Marc Behrens (Germany), whose works mainly consist of concrète electronic music and Pascal Battus (France), who has a multi-disciplinary practice involving sound with movement, drawing machines and acoustic and amplified percussion, alongside Sydney’s own Pia van Gelder, an artist whose practice is centered around audio and video performing machines.
As a special highlight Pascal Battus presents his self devised Sound Massage / Massages Sonores, creating acoustic frequencies in a performance context for one person audiences in fifteen minute appointments. This festival highlight is predicted to book quickly, with limited appointments in each east coast festival location, and regional Victoria. These Sound
