He uses that artistic language – that combination of figuration, narrative and landscape – to describe Australia’s shorter and sadder history of invasion and ecological destruction. From the bleak, denuded hillscapes of the 1990s, with their isolated markers of civilisation – houses, gates, dining tables, curtains – to the more recent, richly–patterned treescapes of the Narawntapu National Park, Keeling’s work uncovers and expresses the beautiful, tragic, surreal poetry of the Tasmanian environment. Image credits/ above: David Keeling by Lynda Warner above right: Paula Wriedt David is the subject of the latest Tasmanian Monograph David Keeling: Looking Forward, Looking Back. The fourth in the Tasmanian Monograph series of contemporary Tasmanian visual artists, David Keeling: Looking Forward, Looking Back is presented through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for Tourism, Arts and the Environment and is published by Quintus Publishing, an imprint of the University of Tasmania. David’s work is held in many corporate, private and public collections in Australia and overseas including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Tasmania Museum and Art Gallery and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. He exhibits with Niagara Galleries, Melbourne, Liverpool Street Gallery, Sydney and Bett Gallery, Hobart. Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week celebrates the visual arts in our community through a state-wide program of events. From Friday, 24 August, until Sunday, 2 September, Tasmania will be buzzing with plenty of opportunities to meet with both established and emerging artists. Some favourite events are returning again this year, including workshops, artist talks and gallery crawls as well as the opportunity to savour some of Tasmania’s regional produce by attending one of the many food and wine events. New to Living Artists’ Week this year is the Local Connections exhibitions program. Tasmanian Regional Arts has coordinated 22 exhibitions around the State featuring the work of local artists. Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week is a biennial festival which is co-ordinated by arts@work, the business unit of Arts Tasmania. It would not be possible to have an event of this scale without the support of program partners including Pure Tasmania, Hydro Tasmania, Tasmanian Regional Arts and the Tasmanian School of Art. In 2005, over 700 artists participated in more than 375 events in 45 locations, attracting thousands of people to a huge variety of venues across the state. This year over 400 event registrations have been received and the number of participating artists has grown to over 1000. I encourage you to delve into this program of events, make use of the easy reference calendar at the back and then book your tickets. Bookings can be made on-line at www.artsatwork.com.au. I look forward to seeing many of you at this year’s events as we enjoy another vibrant and dynamic Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week. Hon.

Photo: Lucia Rossi Living artists, living landscapes Tasmania’s magnificent natural landscapes have always inspired the creativity of artists. The island’s mountains, forests, rivers and coastlines are celebrated in oils, watercolours and photography; in ceramics, fabric art and jewellery; and in bold sculptural forms. Artists are drawn to the alpine wonderland of Cradle Mountain; to the azure water and pink granite of Freycinet; and to the ancient forests and wild rivers of the West Coast. These places inspire us, too – at Cradle Mountain Chateau, Freycinet Lodge and Strahan Village, you’ll find a warm Pure Tasmania welcome. Come and see the places that inspires our living artists – and experience for yourself the living landscapes of our island.

The residencies are about exchanges of ideas and experiences in which artists, businesses and their employees benefit. Our participating artists are incredibly multi-skilled; used to exploring disciplines that are not conventional subjects for art, and that fall outside their own area of expertise. Our participating businesses thrive on challenge and are committed to achieving success through creativity and innovation, and all recognise the importance of retaining and valuing staff. The 2007 artists@work include; Greg Leong at Zinifex Rosebery Mine and Lucy Wilson at Moorilla Estate, Berriedale artists@work greg leong at zinifex rosebery mine Together with mine workers, their families and other residents, Greg will present a public event with digitally imaged portraits, a soundtrack built from interviews as well as the sounds of the workplace, and live performances by participants. A DVD will be created as a lasting record of the project. Textile and photomedia artist Greg Leong will work at the Zinifex Rosebery Mine. This residency will celebrate community, and the company that makes the survival of the community possible. It will pay homage to the people of Rosebery and their spirit in a rugged environment. Greg Leong will collaborate with people who work at the mine, their families, and people from the community, creating a multi-layered account of the company and community vision of what mining activity means to the West Coast. Greg will interview and photograph mine workers and will research the company archives. Zinifex owns and operates two mines both in Australia: Century Mine, a large open cut zinc and lead mine in northwest Queensland, and Rosebery, an underground zinc, lead, silver, gold and copper mine on the west coast of Tasmania. The Rosebery ore body was discovered in 1893 by a prospector, Tom McDonald. The area was mined by several different operators until 1921 when Rosebery and the nearby Hercules Mines were purchased by EZ Industries Limited. The current operation was commissioned in 1936.The mine produces around 700,000 tonnes of ore each year. Zinifex believes in working cooperatively with local communities.

Rather than bottling wine and beer, Lucy will work with Moorilla staff to bottle their imagination. Using movement and writing exercises, as well as working with materials and processes found on site, they will capture their stories, fears and fantasies in bottles. This process will give everyday materials and activities new and different meaning, with a focus on encouraging creativity, improvisation, trust and collaboration in the workforce. There will be a corking event and the bottles will be sealed, labelled and constructed into a “bottled time piece” which will be ceremoniously set in place on the premises, to be opened at some point in the future. To explore how your business could benefit from engaging with the arts, please contact arts@work on (03) 6233 5940 or the Australia Business Arts Foundation on (03) 6233 5934.

In mining towns, rural hamlets, shack communities; perched on hillsides and shorelines miles away from anyone, hundreds of creative hands and minds have come together in Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week 2007 to celebrate regional creativity through Local Connections. Identity and place loom large on the Local Connections canvas which stretches across the boundaries of geography, art form and experience. And never in Tasmania’s history have more than 400 artists representing such diversity so embraced an idea – to take part in a single exhibition in 22 spaces that communities claim as their own. Local Connections Tasmanian Regional Arts and arts@work have, with the support of Local Connections’ sponsor Hydro Tasmania, shared the vision for engaging regional artists in this new Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week initiative. Featuring 22 prominent local artists whose work is understood locally and recognised throughout the state, Local Connections has provided a virtual showcase of Tasmanian talent. Our feature artists are also sharing their insights and expertise in exhibition floor talks throughout Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week. So wander through this marvellous program then dedicate an hour, a day or every day of Tasmanian Living Artists’ Week to a Local Connections exhibition near you. At the very least, enjoy the work of artists who are your neighbours, colleagues or peers and drop along to your community’s local exhibition. Keep an eye on your local newspaper for a sneak preview. Image credit/ Brady (detail), by Anthony White 33 King Island Feature Artist – Robyn Eades Image: Cat Skins Getting things on and off an island is difficult, so Robyn Eades uses materials on hand. Tanning wallaby and possum skins came from seeing carcasses wasting along the roadsides and cat skins followed a feral cat trapping project by the NRM. Fur has such voluptuous and tactile qualities that it needs very little ornamentation and chance combinations can have surprisingly delightful results. Robyn’s home is full of stuff gathered from tips, roadsides and clearing sales. Some things inspire her own creations and she finds good homes for the rest.

Feature Artist – Kerry Martin Image: Sky Wings, Lake Lea (detail) The skies are integral to the compelling melancholy and isolation of Lake Lea – swiftly moving clouds that break away to brilliant light. Over a year working there, the lake constantly changed; the water level rose and fell; the sedges and shrubs changed their colour from burgundy to rusty–lime.

Suffering from Spina Bifida may have limited his mobility but not his desire to develop his own style of Wilderness Photography. Working in his custom designed darkroom Rod’s work still relies on traditional photographic processes. Inspired by the Tasmanian Wilderness, Rod focuses on the smaller things found within nature with their intricate symmetric patterns, rich colours and textures emphasizing the curves, lines, opacity, transparency, refracting as the light passes directly through the subject material stimulating the viewer’s imagination to interpret the images in their own way.
