WHO
Presented by ACMI and Women in Games in association with the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and Multimedia Victoria.
New York-based artist Lynda Abraham combines video, installation, and performance to create scenarios for the contemplation of complicated relationships. Many of these works engage the viewer’s body to intensely dramatize these connections.
Much like a late night ad pitching an exercise tool or positive thinking program, Abraham’s sculptures are “correctional devices” accompanied by videos that appeal to our self-help culture. Abraham’s contraptions invert the status quo and embolden the indefensible. In Compassion (2006), two people with a contentious relationship are strapped into a device that will alternately shove each partner’s face into a trough of water until they learn to work together, in balance.

Next Wave is delighted to announce that applications are now open for TEXT CAMP, a mentorship program for emerging arts writers as part of the 2008 Next Wave Festival.
TEXT CAMP, presented by Next Wave in association with Express Media and unProjects, provides an opportunity for emerging writers to work with and learn from established writers, to build networks and contribute to critical and creative discourse around the 2008 Next Wave Festival, and contemporary art practice more broadly. Comprising two parallel teaching streams which explore either creative writing or critical writing methods, TEXT CAMP will explore the many ways that artworks and performance projects can be responded to through writing.
TEXT CAMP is a three-stage program involving a workshop, a mentorship and a publication outcome. The program will be led by two prominent young Australian writers, Rosemary Forde and Nic Low.
Applications are due 5.00pm on Friday 14 March 2008 (post-mark date).
