Extract from the Artemis Projects podcast with Croatian artist Petra Mrsa recorded in April 2020. Here, Mrsa talks about her project 'The Message' which is now available here: https://soundcloud.com/user-219510566/sets/message TRANSRIPT: ”I was thinking how we usually don't hear the voices of people who record the sounds; they are the technicians behind the machine who make other people, or objects, or animals, or environments audible. I wanted us to hear the voices of these people so I invited them to record their voices in a way that is not articulated, trained, or aestheticized. It can be strange and unplanned, unexpected. I wanted to unite all of these voices through their vulnerability and through their, let's say, trust that the other person who gets their sound will make something new out of it. So, one records it and then sends it to the next person who reacts from the same uncultivated and un-aesheticised perspective. I think it's not very easy to participate because you have to record yourself in a way that cannot be evaluated as good or bad; beautiful or not. And also, you don't know what the end result will be because the next person may cut some part, add something else, and so one. But this is precisely what I was drawn to. I was drawn to this exploration that is not controlled and is based on trust and letting go, being ok with the fact that in this 'voice rally' or audio letter the next person will add something new and do something different, change it. I also wanted to do this project with people that usually record sound because they can record the sound really well so it becomes a kind of body presence. I wanted for the sound to be technically really good so you can really connect with the person through the sound. It's not just some noise where you can't depict if it is a breath or some strange voice or... I did not want for the technicality to stand in between you and the other person. I wanted it to come into your ear without the interference so you can really connect with these other bodies. And in what I got back from people, I can really feel their body presence. But of course, as with any audio work, it asks for a different kind of attention and perception. So you have to say yes to this particular kind of impulse that comes from the headphones. In order to connect to it and feel these voices, it's important that you don't look around, don't eat a sandwich or think about the things you will do in the next half an hour, but that your perception is a bit more calm and slowed down.” (Petra Mrsa, April 2020) Full interview with Petra Mrsa is available here: https://soundcloud.com/artemis-projects/podcast-petra-mrsa Info about 'The Message': https://www.artemisprojects.com.au/the-message

POETRY: Broken Golden

A conversation with Sydney-based artist Victoria Hempstead whose work is a dialogue between the intention of the artist and the agency of the material; a reminder of the limit of our human control and certainty. We speak about: - her fascination with metal and ephemerality - intuition and importance of slowing down - connection between confidence and the value-systems - role of beauty in dealing with trauma - fine line between resting and falling into lethargy - value of collaboration and creative conversations - embracing mistakes and the importance of playfulness - notepads, voice memos, and dream diaries For the full transcript of the podcast see: www.artemisprojects.com.au/conversations/podcast-victoria-hempstead This podcast was produced on the Gadigal land of Eora nation, traditional custodians of the land. We pay our respect to their elders past, present, and future. It is our hope to learn from their wisdom on cultivating and caring for the land.

ON SLEEP: Victoria Hempstead (visual artist)

A section from the PODCAST conversation with Australian artist Victoria Hempstead describing the series of works called 'HUDDLE'. The works are made of the remnants of the 2019/2020 Australian bushfires and address the fine line between fragility and resilience; trauma and hope. "In displaying something that focuses on death or decay or transition point; I think emotionally it then brings out the opposite in humans." Victoria's instagram account can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/victoriahempstead/

(PODCAST excerpt) : Victoria Hempstead on 'HUDDLE'

This Artemis Projects podcast is with Australian artist Elia Bosshard, whose conceptual art practice is informed by her interest in the relationship between the body and space and the impact of spatial configurations and constructed environments on our perception and our intercorporeal behaviour. Big words! But basically, we will be speaking about the impact that spaces have on our emotional, physical, and mental states. What is the difference between spaces of safety and spaces of control is, for example, one of Elia’s field of enquiry which is particularly relevant to our current Covid19 context. In this podcast, we will also consider the importance of open spaces, such as vast horizons, on our creativity and our ability to imagine, to think beyond existing frameworks.

EXTRACT from the PODCAST with Elia Bosshard

In 2019, I was commissioned to write a text on ‘Why Dance Matters Now?’ for Delving into Dance and Critical Path’s Interchange Festival. As I was writing, the fires were blazing across Australia and I thought a lot about the interrelation between our human bodies and nature that surrounds us (and that we are). As part of the process, I recorded a number of podcast-conversations with dancers, musicians, installation artists, somatic practitioners, wanting to know (amongst other things) what the concept ‘spatial awareness’ signifies to them. Are dancers more spatially aware than other people? Is this why dance matters?
