art forum -

Jeremy James is a Canadian-born, Australian-raised artist based in Europe, who has worked across a diversity of media to explore his interests and concerns with the relationship between representation and meaning. His early visual art practice was driven by a critical and deconstructive eye, particularly with reference to personal and cultural identity. Jeremy will discuss the ways in which his initial investigations at art school set the foundations for a career that has evolved predominately into theatre and performance.

Having initially studied at the Canberra School of Art in the early 1990s, Jeremy has worked as an actor, director, artist and teacher across the performing and visual arts. His interest in interdisciplinary practices lead him to Europe to further train with leading artists and teachers. He has developed a unique approach to contemporary performance which is informed and inspired by his early experience and training as a visual artist. Most recently, he was a member of Ariane Mnouchkine's renowned theatre ensemble, Le Théâtre du Soleil in Paris. He collaborated on all aspects of the company's epic-projects, Le Dernier Caravansérail and Les Éphémères, from design and development to production and performance. He has toured extensively to major theatres and festivals internationally and received critical acclaim for his work. He has been invited to give workshops in France, Spain, UK, Canada, Argentina and Brazil, while teaching and leading masterclasses for actors and directors at drama schools and universities in Europe.

2ndyrsculpture week 13

Lucy and I have assessed your presentations and will give you written comments and a grade this week.

a reminder we will be running statement workshop session this thursday - please come prepared with your drafts

SCREENMACHINES 2ND YR SPACES REQUIRED

the numbers involved in screenmachines - 60 means that all 2nd yrs will need to clear their spaces in such a way as to allow

the groups to work. This does not mean you have to remove everything. please simply clear your bench tops and store all objects say under/behind your bench, or in lockers etc.

make the floor space as open as possible. The workshop runs from june 18-23 inclusive so please make an effort to sort this out and help me/us out.

If this is not done I will have to do it and I'd prefer not to as it means risking damaging our work etc.

obviously you will not be able to use your studio space from june 18-23. if this is a problem let me know and i'll see what i can do.

Cheers

John

PPS bad joke for the week (your weekly reward for getting to the end of this email)

a can of coke was sitting on a table in Italian restaurant crying.

another can of coke came over and asked - 'what's up mate are you OK?'

the sobbing can replied - 'I'll be alright, it's just that I'm a bit 'Canolonely"

(this is the best joke we've had all semester for sure)
