Haroon Mirza
Haroon Mirza has won international acclaim for installations that test the interplay and friction between sound and light waves and electric current. He devises kinetic sculptures, performances and immersive installations, such as The National Apavillion of Then and Now (2011) – an anechoic chamber with a circle of light that grows brighter in response to increasing drone, and completely dark when there is silence. An advocate of interference (in the sense of electro-acoustic or radio disruption), he creates situations that purposefully cross wires. He describes his role as a composer, manipulating electricity, a live, invisible and volatile phenomenon, to make it dance to a different tune and calling on instruments as varied as household electronics, vinyl and turntables, LEDs, furniture, video footage and existing artworks to behave differently. Processes are left exposed and sounds occupy space in an unruly way, testing codes of conduct and charging the atmosphere. Mirza asks us to reconsider the perceptual distinctions between noise, sound and music, and draws into question the categorisation of cultural forms. "All music is organised sound or organised noise," he says. "So as long as you’re organising acoustic material, it’s just the perception and the context that defines it as music or noise or sound or just a nuisance" (2013).This artist is interesting in her use of sensory installation techniques - this enhances the viewer experience or certainly makes it more interesting than a static painting (no matter how beautiful, or aesthetically pleasing - we only spend about 20 seconds looking)

Tony Albert is a contemporary Australian artist working in a wide range of mediums including painting, photography and mixed media. His work engages with political, historical and cultural Aboriginal and Australian history, and his fascination with kitsch “Aboriginalia" born 1981 - installation, mixed media, photography, painting. https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/whats-on/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/tony-albert-visible
The title of the exhibition ‘Visible’, speaks to one of Albert’s often used quotes ‘Invisible is my favourite colour’, a response which frames the exhibition. The exhibition interrogates representations of Aboriginal people through a mix of humour and poignancy, while tackling issues of race and representation head-on, and includes the artist’s epic appropriations and re-appropriations of kitsch ‘Aboriginalia’.

The Memorial Project: Black Wall (section 2), 2015Kathy Temin Born 1968 - Australian artist-- wall is regularly blow dried to fluff up the fabric
The sensuousness of the lustrous black fur reaches into that primal part of the brain that revels in the animal comfort and warmth of fur – experienced when we cuddle a beloved pet or soft toy, for example, or wear a luxurious fur coat. The materiality elicits references to fairy tales and characters in children’s books. The upright columns of The Memorial Project: Black Wallevoke an equally powerful impulse to delve into the wall of fur and discover what lies within. The topiary and plant-like shapes of this velvety hedge of blackness recall other kinds of unnerving landscapes.

Alexander Calder - exhibition
Alexander Calder has been of interest since discovering him in my first year at SIT, his kinetic moving mobiles and stabiles and the commercial success of his work have made his a good artist to follow in sculpture. It will be good to see some of his work when I visit Melbourne this year.
Born: 22 July 1898, Lawnton, Pennsylvania, United States
Died: 11 November 1976, New York, New York, United States
To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.
My fan mail is enormous. Everyone is under six.
The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.
  Elephant (1928) by Alexander Calder | Wire and Wood Elephant was created shortly after Calder moved to Paris. http://makingartfun.com/htm/f-maf-art-library/alexander-calder-biography.htm
Alexander Calder has always been an interesting artist with a very wide age range of viewers and buyers of his work. Mass produced and production items can be found in the trendiest of galleries and a babys room as a mobile, a universal artist who has been copied and his images and work duplicated by other artists.
