U ovoj epizodi gost je bosanskohercegovački i australski skulptor, Adis Elias Fejzić. Svoju umjetničku karijeru Adis je započeo u Srednjoj umjetničkoj školi u Sarajevu sredinom '80-tih, a nastavio je na Odsjeku vajarstva na sarajevskoj ALU gdje je magistrirao 2008. Prvi je bh. umjetnik koji je doktorirao na temi srednjovjekovnih bosanskih stećkaka, pod nazivom "Spomenik za 21. stoljeće: Vječnost bosanskog stećka i njegova relevantnost za suvremenu vizualnu umjetnost", na Queensland College of Art na Griffith University, Brisbaneu, Australija. Zbog opsesije bosanskim stećcima zovu ga i doktorom za stećke. Nakon dugogodišnjeg istraživanja specifične multiskulpturalne forme stećaka i tehnike izrade svojom osobenom metodom direktnog klesarstva uspio je da iskleše svoje "stećke modernog doba". Jedan od takvih stećaka krasi baštu ispred Parlamenta Australije u Canberri, koju je napravio u znak zahvalnosti prema australskom društvu koje ga je "udomilo" i pružilo mu drugi dom početkom 2000tih, a drugi se nalazi u Odenseu u Danskoj. Adis vam u podcastu otkriva i neke dosad neotkrivene detalje o svojoj umjetničkoj karijeri, crtice iz svoje bogate karijere i opsesivne fascinacije bosanskim stećcima, o svojoj osobenoj tehnici direktnog klesarstva, te o svojoj posebno kreiranoj tehnici srednjovjekovne kaligrafije utemeljenoj na bosančici.

Penrose Hart graduated from Queensland College of Art in 1983 with a Diploma of Fine Art, and then again from Griffith University in 1991, with a Bachelor of Visual Arts.Travelling, and en plein air practice is intrinsic to Amanda's work; she extrapolates the significance of a place through her work. Dr Andrew Frost suggests she evokes a familiarity with landscapes unseen, by connecting the audiences personal experience with her interpretations of (to date) Australian and European landscapes.Penrose Hart has featured in numerous selective group exhibitions, more often than not following artist trip's or artist-run projects such as Your Friend the Enemy, and Salient (both commemorative exhibitions of the Great War), and River on the Brink: Inside the Murray Darling Basin, which aimed to raise awareness for the impacts of drought and climate change in Australia.Amanda won the Gallipoli Art Prize in 2017 and the Clayton Utz Award in 2019.

How to Choose - SHOW NOTESwww.goodbetterright.com.auSeason 2, Episode 7 : The PrincipalTessa Mudge & Ken Smith INTROIn Season 2 of How to Choose, we interview guests who work in a range of different professions to see what they can teach us about decision making in their specific work contexts - and about how they first chose to enter their profession. In this episode we chat with Doug Braiden, the College Principal at Faith Lutheran College in Queensland's Lockyer Valley. Doug discusses his surprising change of career from police detective to high school teacher and reflects on the challenges and opportunities of decision making in both professions.KEY TAKEAWAYSJust because things have always been done a certain way, doesn't mean there isn't a better way! To innovate well, understand the system you work in, understand the goals you're trying to achieve and think creatively about how those goals might be better achieved in that context. Be driven by your purpose, not your process.If you're considering a change of profession, consider whether there might be a role that sits like a 'shoulder' between the two jobs that could allow you to apply the skills from your old job in a new setting. For Doug, the shoulder between police work and education, was his role at the Queensland College of Teachers investigating allegations of teacher misconduct. In that role, Doug was apply a fairly unique skillset in a niche role, identifying opportunities to improve their business practices, before moving back into the school environment. A lot of brilliant innovation is born in those areas of overlap where creative thinkers apply knowledge from one field into another.The Queensland Police apply the SELF test to support decision making. Will the decision pass the Scrutiny of the public? Is it Ethical? Is it Lawful? And is it Fair? What this demonstrates is that complex decisions require us to consider different factors - if we think too narrowly, we can make poor choices.Finally, Doug's passion to want a make a difference and his belief that every individual has value and worth are what drive him. Finding the things that drive you and make you want to get out of bed each day is a great starting point when you're trying to make career choices.LINKSHow awesome was it to hear about some of the innovative approaches being applied at Faith Lutheran College!

Join us for a conversation between international artist, Joachim Froese, and Emily Wakeling, Curator at Rockhampton Museum of Art, during Froese's recent exhibition of photographic work at RMOA, "Echoes of Process". Queensland photographer Joachim Froese's technical expertise of the varied mechanics of photography inform a conceptual approach to the medium, often dealing with the role of photography in shaping the known world. The exhibition features several key series that raise environmental concerns, amongst them ‘Entangled', his recent series of salt prints that depict close-ups of seedlings he grows in his garden, and a new photographic installation that re-interprets panorama visions taken by NASA's Mars rovers. Raised in Germany and based in Brisbane and Berlin, Joachim Froese has been a practicing artist and educator for over three decades. He holds a PhD from RMIT University, Melbourne, and has lectured in photography at the Queensland College of Art and other tertiary institutions in Australia and Germany. His works are held by the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, and several regional Queensland galleries.

Tanya Perilli is today's delicious guest and she has a fantastic story to share.Tanya grew up with a seamstress grandmother and mother in a small country town in far North Queensland, where there were more fabric stores than dress shops. Fashion was in the blood from an early age. Tanya excelled through her schooling years and was named captain of her High School in Year 12. Despite just missing out on an Architecture degree, she was offered a scholarship at the Queensland College of Art for a Fine Arts degree. Unsure of how she could sustain a life with a Fine Arts degree, with the help and advice of her parents Tanya decided on a different career path and proceeded to complete an Engineering & Construction Management degree at James Cook University. Her journey through the mainly male dominated construction world is a fascinating one and saw Tanya work around the world on some incredible projects, one very close to my heart, Marks & Spencers and their Food Halls! Family circumstances brought her back to Australia and eventually she circled back to her love of fashion and fabrics. She would find herself endlessly searching for something new to wear to the next event or dinner. Following a conversation with a friend in early 2019 she decided to do further research on the fashion rental platforms around the world like Rent the Runway and Armarium in the US, where she learnt about and fully understood the negative impact the fashion industry, and specifically the fast fashion sector, had on the environment. The more she investigated the fashion rental business model the more interested she became as there were so many aspects to consider. Tanya saw this as an opportunity to bring together her entrepreneurial spirit and instincts together with her engineering and project management training, experience, and know-how. Tanya found that although fashion rental in Australia was growing fast and furiously, there was no one offering high fashion on luxury loan. The Fashion Alta Moda business was borne.I was like a kid in a candy store looking through some of Tanya's incredible pieces you can follow her on instagram or take a look at the wonderful collection she has curated below. An amazing story and truly lovely lady. Enjoy!!https://www.fashionaltamoda.com.au/Instagram fashionaltamodax See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week If Only You Knew Podcast chats with Phoebe Haywood, Principal Policy Officer at Queensland College of Teachers. As a young girl, Phoebe has vague memories of playing teacher with her younger sister but went through school wanting to be a surgeon. It wasn’t until her senior years that Phoebe found herself looking at teaching as a career option. After completing a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education (Secondary) History & Geography with QUT, Phoebe returned to her former high school as a Geography & Modern History Teacher. Phoebe and I chat about impostor syndrome that she, and many young professionals feel when they commence work as a graduate. Phoebe’s first role was more challenging than most as she found herself teaching kids not that much younger than herself! Phoebe’s impulsive nature led her to a teaching job in Qatar, a world away from Brisbane Australia and Phoebe tells us about the differences in culture, teaching children with English as their second language and the loneliness and isolation that comes with living away from family and friends. Since returning from Qatar Phoebe has gone on the complete a Master of Business Administration, moved away from teaching and into education policy and has now started a law degree. We talk about these big changes and how Phoebe’s career aspirations have changed. With new roles created every year, let’s see where Phoebe’s career takes her.

Ellis GalleryGallery Talk: Thursday, February 1, 6pmReception: Thursday, February 1, 5-7pmLight Work is pleased to present Land of Epic Battles a solo exhibition of prints by Philadelphia-based artist Justyna Badach. Land of Epic Battles features Badach’s new series of large, hand-made dichromate prints, made using film stills from ISIS training videos. For a year she experimented with darkroom techniques before discovering a 19th-century process that would allow her to use gunpowder as a pigment. The resulting incendiary prints initially look like antiquated documentation of Middle Eastern sites and landscapes. The texture of the heavy-weight watercolor paper needed for this process adds a layer of abstraction more akin to the language of drawing and painting than photography. Rather than using images of carnage and gore, for which ISIS videos are infamous, Badach’s edit reveals a vast, enduring, and majestic landscape that dwarfs the players in the conflict and exposes the futility of war.Land of Epic Battles continues Badach’s ongoing interest in male culture and the machismo of Hollywood films and media. As a child, Badach emigrated from Poland and learned to speak English by watching American TV. Fascinated by the deeply coded American cinema, she later created Epic Film Stills, a project that explored how classic Westerns such as Wyatt Earp and Young Guns glorify the violence of American colonialism. In this series, Epic Film Stills, she focuses on the landscape, which echoes the romanticized version of Manifest Destiny and its violent ideology that she first recognized in American Westerns and which may, in turn, be the lens through which most Americans make sense of Middle Eastern terrorism. In describing this body of work Badach states:“My work examines the transmutation of history and repackaging of violence through appropriation and re-contextualization of images derived from films created for a male audience. Land of Epic Battles focuses on the hyper-masculine world of ISIS recruitment videos that have grown out of the social and cultural voids that mark this moment in time.”Besides armored vehicles, the black ISIS flag, artillery, and explosives, each ISIS cell includes a media-savvy creative, equipped with video camera, microphones, laptop, and Final Cut Pro, who carefully documents the destruction wrought by this cell and disseminates this material on encrypted websites and YouTube. Reality TV, DIY citizen-journalism, and video games (specifically Grand Theft Auto) have clearly inspired these works. ISIS videographers carefully edit the action with rousing music and linger in slow motion over point-blank gunshots, beheadings, and crucifixions. Voice-overs promise a life of respect, power, comradery, and victory for young men who have been brutally marginalized and stripped of culture.lg.ht/LandofEpicBattles—Justyna Badach’s family arrived as refugees in the United States in 1980.

Mandy Quadrio is a contemporary artist and doctoral candidate at Queensland College of the Arts with the Griffith University. Her multidisciplinary practice is intertwined with her proud Palawa identity in her ancestral country of Tebrakunna, Coastal Plains Nation on the lands colonially referred to as North-East of Tasmania.

From dropping out of high school and working as a labourer, to now communicating complex scientific concepts through his art and co-directing his own international arts company, Benjamin Werner has found his circuitous path to success. All City Walls and All City Art Services are the two branches of his vision to create contemporary creative murals on a vast scale, and also support the preservation of art that is already in existence. And when he realised that making beautiful artworks was his calling, it was completing a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours at Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art, that focussed his journey to success. This episode of Remarkable Tales comes from the launch of Benjamin's latest large scale mural at Dutton Park State School, which continues the strong theme through much of his work, synthesising science and art.

Anthony Lister was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1979. He graduated from the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane in 2001 and traveled to New York soon after where he mentored under the auspices Max Gimblett, one of New Zealand's most influential living artists. Lister began painting on the streets at the age of 17; a location which has become a key part of his practice as a space where he can take pleasure in his 'hobby' of producing art rather than the 'craft' of studio work. He has since exhibited his work extensively within Australia and internationally both in the gallery and on the streets. He is considered to be one of Australia’s most renowned contemporary artists. Topics Discussed: The process of creating his artwork Exploring the idea of "adventure painting" A curious exploration of the dualities of life Skateboarding abstracting itself into artwork Creative and mental breakthroughs Tactility of art changing or being lost with the advent of technologies His virtual reality app Decorating the apocalypse Seeing artwork in the flesh His love for the work of Egon Schiele www.artistdecoded.com www.instagram.com/artistdecoded www.twitter.com/yoshinostudios

Azaria Chamberlain was an Australian baby girl who was killed by a dingo on a family camping trip to Uluru in the Northern Territory. Her body was never found. Her parents, Lindy and Michael Chamberlain, reported that she had been taken from their tent by a dingo, but Lindy was tried for murder and spent more than three years in prison. She was released when a piece of Azaria's clothing was found in a dingo lair. New inquests were opened. In 2012, 32 years after Azaria's death, the Chamberlains' version of events was confirmed by a coroner. Glen Cranny examines Lindy Chamberlain case, involving as it does interesting issues of law, scientific evidence and public perceptions of the justice system. Glen Cranny has specialised in criminal defence work since 1995 and is today recognised as one of the most prominent criminal lawyers in Queensland. Over the last decade he has been actively involved in presenting and organising papers and seminars on criminal law, for bodies such as the Queensland Law Society, LawAsia, and the Queensland College of Law. In 2010 Mr. Cranny was appointed as a Senior Counsellor of the Queensland Law Society
