• LIVING WITH THE FUTURE: EP 6 OF 6

Richard Paxton died at only 49, and his legacy is the house he designed for himself and his family. His widow, Heidi, lives there now with their two teenage children. When Simon Davis arrives, he finds it hard to see an entrance. Behind a sort of high-tech garage door which miraculously lifts (including the boxes of planted pansies) to let him in, he finds a house noone would suspect, as it contrasts strongly with the surrounding mews.

Bikini Revolution tells a fun and light-hearted story of the bikini: a story that began in July 1946 in Paris. The French are pretty good at revolutions, but this time, they stormed the swimming pool instead of the Bastille. However, across the Atlantic, where the prim American version of the two-piece was still covering New World navels, people were having difficulties coming to terms with the revolution instigated by fashion designer Louis Reard who called his daring new two-piece swimsuit "the bikini" because it sounded exotic.

When Monty Ravenscroft and Clare Loewe began looking for a house to buy in London they soon realised that the only affordable option was to build one themselves.

Undeterred, engineering-whiz Monty began building an experimental bungalow that filled the site from boundary to boundary.

Craft ACT Exhibition

Opening 6.pm Thursday 24 June followed at 7.pm with an artist talk by Ian Factor

You and your guests are invited to join Craft ACT at the official opening of the exhibitions by guest speaker

Grace Cochrane independent writer and curator

Abstract
Ian Factor
Craft ACT Gallerie
Discover contemporary furniture which explores a new consciousness in furniture design. Factor’s distinctive works establish a creative fusion between abstract design and functional furniture using sustainable timbers. The exhibition will examine the effect of placing contemporary furniture in a gallery context showcasing the union of functionality with abstract and sculptural forms.

Substrate, Structure, Surface
Leonie Andrews
Craft ACT Gallerie
The compulsion to order, to create physical and visual harmony is at the core of Andrews’ work. Recycled textiles are joined through layering and stitching, united by dyes, printed and stitched marks. The holes, wear and tear and stains become key elements adding vitality to these textile works.

Mind Refined
Jane Crick
Craft ACT Crucible Showcase
Craft ACT partners with the Canberra Potters’ Society, to award an exhibition selected from the Society’s annual members exhibition. Jane Crick is the recipient of the 2009 award. Crick plays with form and texture, creating ceramic objects she describes as ‘messed up geometry’. The works are inspired by agricultural and industrial buildings, and represent a progression of Crick's practice to new angular, rustic forms.

The exhibitions continue until Saturday 31 July
Level 1, North Building, 180 London Circuit, Civic ACT

Drop and Plop: public debate

Craft ACT Galleries
Tuesday 8 June 6.pm–7.pm

Craft ACT and Canberra Contemporary Art Space presents the Fora Series. This series of informal discussions and debates examine topical issues surrounding the impact and influence of contemporary craft and design on the cityscape and city dwellers, and form part of the ongoing dialogue associated with the Designing a Capital: Crafting a City program.

Drop and plop: the art of public sculpture explores the validity of public art and its civic function for the people of Canberra. Come and hear the experts and the most opinionated as they debate the question, 'Is public art the least democratic of art forms?'.

Join host David Broker, Director Canberra Contemporary Art Space and prepare yourself for a night of light hearted humour, opinion and good old fashion hot-headed competitiveness.

Speaking for the assenting team arguing 'Public art is the most democratic of art forms' we have Senator Kate Lundy, Kate Murphy and Michael Desmond, and on the dissenting team arguing 'Public art is the least democratic of art forms' we will hear from Domenic Mico, Karina Harris and Natalie Thomas.

MyPlace_MyFace Photograph Competition

Exh.Dates: August - September 2010

Total Prize est @$3,473

http://www.wesleymission.org.au/Get_Involved/Events/Photo_Comp/default.asp

A place that is special is the theme of a new photography competition that aims to reach out to
people who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness, alongside people who have a
secure place to live.

MyPlace_MyFace encourages people to take a photo of themselves, their friends, family or pet, in a setting that has added meaning for them, be it a local park, favourite tree, café, swimming spot, the back yard shed, mum's old lounge, or a cubby house.

The initiative, a collaboration between the City of Sydney's Pine Street Creative Arts Centre and
Homelessness Unit, Australian Centre for Photography and Wesley Mission, invites entries from amateur photographers, regardless of age or skill level. A panel of judges, including Verity Chambers, Photo Editor of Sydney Morning Herald, will decide a winner and runner-up in each category to receive prizes.

Playing on the pervasiveness of today's online social networking applications, such as My Space and Facebook, the competition encourages members of the community to celebrate “real” as opposed to “virtual” places and people.
