field of days: Expecting to fly

http://rogerptaylor.blogspot.com/2010/08/expecting-to-fly.html

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. The Hawks have imploded, and how. No way out of this now. They are in freefall and there is NO bottom. With two minutes to go in the game against the Saints two weeks ago they were in complete control. A fantastic passage of play had seen Cyril involved all the way down the ground. He’d received, passed and received again some 40 metres out, straight in front, for him a bread and butter shot. This IS the sealer, 13 points up, and the dream is really alive. The game is gone.

Field recordings and soundscapes. What is your experience of walking through modern-day art galleries? As you pass from room to room are you fully engaged with the works on the walls or, despite all good intentions, does a sense of fatigue begin to dampen your enthusiasm? One of the first prints I interpreted was Michael Schlitz’ Sound of Moon B . In this work Schlitz has created a series of parallel lines on a desolate white background. It is an imagined topography of the moon. Sound of Moon B. Https:/ ...

contemporary art shanghai: November 2009

http://contemporaryartshanghai.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Devoted to contemporary art in shanghai. Tuesday, 10 November 2009. Shanghai's First Ceramics Show. On Sunday went to the Ceramic Fair at Shanghai Mart. There was some international ceramicists as well as Shanghai based studios/galleries/artists and representation from other places in China. As I am only beginning to read Chinese for the non-Chinese visitor it was challenging to work out who the maker was of each piece. This curved tea set by a studio artist, Langlang 朗朗 for d9design. Australian artist R...

Monday, October 25, 2010. Every Picture Tells A Story. My friend Steve Baird recently posted this pic up on Facebook and it brought back all sorts of memories for me. I guess it could be titled “Rock Stars at Play”, although Chain were never really “rock stars” as such. The picture was taken sometime in early 1971, most probably in a park in South Caufield and features the Northcote Road Country Club “cricket” team. Jiva was my mentor and still is. I was working as his “assistant” (for the pr...The girls...

Thursday, September 24, 2009. Little wonder it’s been here at Handsome Steve’s House of Refreshment that legions of long-suffering Geelong supporters have gathered for weekly solace for the past 12 months, awaiting the rolling back of the stone in 2009. Last September Geelong lost and so did Gary Ablett Jnr. Combining the great loves of his life, the Geelong Football Club, pop culture and art into what he call his “retirement”, “Handsome” Steve Miller(a guitar player in his own ri...Tucked deep within th...

contemporary art shanghai: Transposing the Common II @ Eastlink Gallery

http://contemporaryartshanghai.blogspot.com/2009/11/transposing-common-ii-eastlink-gallery.html

Devoted to contemporary art in shanghai. Sunday, 8 November 2009. Transposing the Common II @ Eastlink Gallery. Transposing the Common II. Australian artist Rodney Pople. And Chinese artist Zhao Qin. 7 November to 20 November 2009. Pople puts both together in his mixed media paintings. Hot large breasted woman in overt ecstasy lay on alters where more pious virgins were originally. Not all paintings have such strong overt sexual references, interspersing two of the alter works was a painting of a shark s...

http://rogerptaylor.blogspot.com/2010/11/darling-it-hurts.html

Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Sunset Warmun East Kimberley. Easter 1978, I remember Good Friday was wet. Bruce, Bill and I were hanging out to see a hot new band called The High Rise Bombers we’d read about in The Age. We had our own band, The Male Models, myself on bass, Bruce Dickenson (not Iron Maiden Bruce) on rhythm guitar and Bill Hay on extraordinary stage presence and vocals. Bill was an artist, a young painter, and he loved his rock n’ roll. A bloke in a leather jacket seemed to be the front man...

Wednesday, July 15, 2009. A buzz in the machine. Getting to the heart of the matter, the last time I saw Stelarc was in the World Heritage Listed Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne last July. He had an ear growing on his arm.  That's not in my article, but for real, it was an ear, implanted and about to explode. I'll keep you up to date. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. This Shape of Jazz: "Town Hall, 1962" - Ornette Coleman. In 1962 Don van Vliet was still in Lancaster, CA.  Ornette was in NY.
