Photo 2024 will take place in Melbourne and Victoria from 1 to 24 March. Several German artists are taking part this year, including Ulrich Wüst. Born in Magdeburg in 1949, Wüst has become known for his photos documenting the transformation of architecture in the GDR and beyond. A selection of these can be seen in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut at the RMIT Gallery in Melbourne from 29 February to 20 April. We spoke to the curator of the exhibition, Matthias Flügge. - In Melbourne und Victoria findet vom 1. bis 24. März die Photo 2024 statt.

Evelyn Tsitas is writer, artist, and curator. Her published and performed works range across fiction, nonfiction, stage, and journalism. Evelyn's short story “Undeceive” won the first prize trophy and Innovation Prize in the 2008 Scarlet Stiletto Awards and while it piqued the interest of publishers it was deemed too innovative – as it was in verse! By that stage, however, Evelyn was on a path to academic research, thanks to her short story “Xenos” which won the Scarlet Stiletto Innovation prize in 2007 and became the basis for Evelyn's PhD research into speculative fiction and hybridity.“Xenos” featured a female protagonist on the wrong side of the law who may or may not be quite human, and was written while Evelyn was at a Bioethics conference listening to a presentation about the transplantation of animal parts into humans. Evelyn went on to curate three large-scale thematic exhibitions anchored in her scholarship: Future U (2022), Pleasure (2019) and My Monster: The Human Animal Hybrid (2018) at RMIT Gallery. She currently works at Heide Museum of Modern Art, and is also writing a non-fiction book based on her research, as well as a speculative art-crime novel inspired by her short story Stealing Back the Relics, about regenerated body parts and ancient reliquaries, published in And Then... The Great Big Book of Awesome Adventure Tales! Vol 1 (Clan Destine Press). Evelyn says that there is no doubt that winning the coveted red shoe opened doors within the crime writing sisterhood, and gave her the confidence to stamp herself with the ‘crime writing' brand – even though her work will always be oddly hybrid and speculative, image-based and narrative.CreditsConcept designer, co-producer, and narrator: Susanna LobezCo-producer: Carmel ShuteAnnouncer: Leigh RedheadProductionManager: Tim CoyGraphic Designer: Caz BrownCopyright Sisters in Crime Australia

Although Stelarc is just shy of the 60 year mark—The Long Run podcast is centred on speaking with artists who have 60 year careers—his performances and installations, and the centrality of the body in his art, get to very meaningful ideas about life and technology. Whether placing an artwork in his stomach, actualising a body with a third hand, giving his agency over to performance viewers, and rather famously growing an extra ear on his arm, Stelarc has gone to true extremes. The way he challenges himself through his art sets down a challenge to his viewers. Through this practice, Stelarc has problematised the limits and capabilities of the human body. As he says, “Walking with six legs on a robot. Being algorithmically actuated by a full body exoskeleton. So, all of these experiences have been about exploring these alternate anatomies.” Born in Cyprus, Stelarc's family moved to Australia when he was four years old. He studied art in Melbourne, and soon after lived in Japan for almost two decades in the 70s and 80s. He first became well known for his early suspension performances where he'd hang naked, suspended by hooks into his skin, whether in the gallery or in a public setting. In investigating the human body, his later performances are often entwined with technology—and have seen him perform nationally and internationally amongst myriad galleries and institutions. Stelarc is incredibly interesting to speak with, and we talk about his suspension performances and some more recent technology-based performances. We also discuss what Stelarc means when he says the human body is obsolete, as well as questions of agency and death, and the ways in which Stelarc has used his body in his art for almost 60 years. His work is showing for RMIT Gallery's FutureU exhibition, which is currently closed due to lockdown restrictions.
