As part of the 2008 Darebin Music Feast, OUTPOST perform over three evenings at La Trobe University Art Museum from the 17th - 19th September.
This performance/workshop is free and will run for 7 til 8:30 pm.
In this workshop OUTPOST will take the exhibition Neomorphics (Neugemüse), by local visual artist Vera Möller, and use her work as a stimulus to create new audio and visual work projected on to the walls of the gallery.
Vera Möller’s art explores the region where the real meets the imagined and the constructed encounters the natural. Delving into her knowledge gained through her studies as a biologist, her work contemplates life forms yet to be identified or discovered. Möller considers specimens that might evolve naturally in the future, and reflects on organisms that could possibly be created with the aid of biotechnology. Neomorphics (Neugemüse) includes a selection of collages, watercolours and sculptures, many shown for the first time, inviting us into a special world of wonder, amazement and study.
Participants are invited to bring their own video footage, mp3 players, synthesisers, samplers and any other noise/video making device. Those without their own gear are welcome to come along and join in the experience. Come down for a tasty live audio visual jam looks, sounds, and share a drink and a chat about the hardware and software used in the performance.
