Plenty of Art Coming Up in Canberra & Sydney in June
Here is a Sample :

In Sydney -

At the Powerhouse Museum

Synapse is an initiative of the Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) and the Australia Council for the Arts that supports collaborations between artists and scientists.

"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research would it?"                 Albert Einstein

Artists and scientists approach creativity, exploration and research in different ways and from different perspectives; when working together they open up new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting the world around us. For the past decade the Synapse initiative has provided over 30 Australian artists with the opportunity to pursue speculative creative research projects with scientists and medical researchers in Australia and beyond. This exhibition provides a snapshot of the diverse and fascinating research that participating artists and scientists have pursued over the past five years.

Exhibition includes:

KEITH ARMSTRONG + LAWRENCE ENGLISH – Night Rage
KIRSTY BOYLE – Ningyo
PETA CLANCY + HELEN PYNOR – Study towards ‘Aftermath’
NOLA FARMAN – Animating Solar Technology (work in progress)

Campbelltown Arts Centre has brought together 5 creative innovators from the analogue and early digital eras to mentor, collaborate and exchange ideas with 5 ‘new generation’ artists from various disciplines – art, sound and performance – who have chosen these technologies as the most appropriate channel of enquiry for their current work, or have a practice reliant on engagement. The focus is on conversation, participation and interaction as a means of informing us, the audience, how we communicate, or respond to art.

Collaborators:

Linda Dement & Kelly Doley
Tom Ellard & Paul Greedy
Troy Innocent & Benjamin Kolaitis
Stephen Jones & Pia van Gelder
Wade Marynowsky & Michael Candy
