Fiona Bryant and Kate Stanley, creators of the award winning MAX perform their new dance piece at Guildford Lane Gallery during Next Wave 2010.

JOY is inspired by the inexorable ageing process, a collision of fact and fiction, a journey through the playful, curious, poignant and absurd. JOY promises a unique ascent to a world where real and imagined notions of the elderly, ageing, dementia and companionship are made palpable.

Sound Fragments 'C and F Positive'
Shannon Novak
Phase 3: International, April 6 – May 2

Sound Fragment 22 Shannon Novak

This latest installation by New Zealand artist Shannon Novak seeks to explore the link between colour, sound, shape, time, emotion, and social context; it is a study that examines the interrelationship between spatial form and social activity that will both construct and make manifest a sound wave that spreads sound fragments throughout gallery spaces around the world.

This is a very interesting artistic concept. View 'C an F Positive' along with all Shannon's other works from Phase 3: International across the globe here

Metamorphosis Wina Jie, 2009

“Free yourself from the trap you find yourself in, like a phoenix bird, scattered remains will rise again burning more brightly" - Wina Jie.

The series describes the story of an elusive shape-shifter escaping the cultural trappings of labels and categorisation.
