Dear Friend,

Climate change is so much in the news these days that we’ve probably all been wondering what we can do.

Well, here is an opportunity to do something positive to help our environment and make our own lives better at the same time.

On the world’s first Climate Change Day on December 1^st 2006 you can help make a BIG improvement to two interlinked climates that matter to us all:

• our earth’s climate
• our human climate

For the Climate Change Day campaign, thousands of people around the world are making pledges to:

• reduce their personal greenhouse gas emissions
• spend quality time boosting their human climate – i.e., enhancing their own inner wellbeing, or adding to the lives of people in their family, neighbourhood or workplace.

It’s easy! Climate Change Day has collated a myriad of examples that show just how simple it can be to make a BIG difference.

Why is it all so important?

Climate change and global warming affect us all. Changes in weather patterns, polar ice caps melting, rising sea levels and climbing temperatures are likely to displace millions of people, create massive changes in agriculture and threaten our treasured natural environments.

On the human front, at no other time has our race had to face such epidemic proportions of people suffering from depression, stress, poverty, conflict, drug abuse, obesity, chronic loneliness and youth suicide.

The good news it that there are simple things that YOU can do right now to slow down global warming and to transform the global human crisis.

Please visit the climate change website and make a difference today!

The Australian International Exhibition of the Badge and the Logo and Coat of Arms

Adelaide 8 - 10 December 2006

Dear Exhibitors and community members

This year Rev Dr Jonathan Barker minister of the Pilgrim Uniting Church is honouring us by inviting us to move into their neighbourhood by participating in the annual "Who is your neighbour program" by showing Neshan in the Flinders Street church. in Adelaide . Take this unique opportunity to explore your own neighbourhood by sharing the badges and their story which you have collected. Meet the jews, muslims, christians, buddhists, journalists, politicians, writers, artists, socialists, women, peace activists, environmentalists, communists, unionists, young and older people so we can live together as neighbours in a better environment.

I want to invite you to join with me in:

“THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF THE BADGE AND THE LOGO AND COAT OF ARMS”

Please supply a Badge and/or Logo of your own creation, or an existing Badge and/or Logo – to exhibit your views on an issue close to your heart.

1. The Badge/Logo should illustrate or represent your view (or organizational view) dealing with issues of importance in such areas as the Environment, Human Rights, Illicit Drug Abuse, War and Peace, Violence in the home, Religious or Sexual or Ethnic Intolerance, or any other issue of importance to our communities, society and the world. But please don’t be constrained by this sample list.If there are other issues of a more personal nature please let your views be seen. For example, Amnesty International has a well-known logo of a candle circled by barbed wire that was inspired by the Chinese proverb: “Better to light a candle than curse the darkness”.

2. Also,any badges that you have to exhibit with a written story of each badge, the badges will be exhibited under your name. If you don’t know the story of the badge you are still welcome to participate or you can write up to one page(you choose the number of words and the format) for all the badges you would like to exhibit.

After the exhibition has finished touring, the badges will be returned to the exhibitors if required. If not, the badges will be donated to the National Museum of Australia as a commemoration of the injury to society sustained in these years.

The Exhibition has had a successful showing in Canberra and Binalong with many people showing interest. It is my intent to show this exhibition nationally in Melbourne , Hobart , Perth , Darwin , Brisbane and Sydney as well as regionally. It may tour internationally.

As a result of the exhibition the material will be compiled into a series of research books for students of Iconography, Politics and History.

If you wish to participate in this travelling exhibition please supply:

Three pics of the 'Thyrsis'

Eleven artless poo-men are trapped in a shopping-trolley of a jail, and like a single man, they're escaping from it any way they can. That is 'the Great Escape' and it could be it.

But above the shopping trolley hangs an abstract structure made of balsa wood and coiled galvanised wire, 'Coils and Tears'. Blue oil is dripping from it and falling randomly onto the escapees.

This is a 4D work because firstly, the oil pouring turns it into a clepsydron; and the raw clay the poo-men are made of, slowly shrinking, introduces an element of risk and unsteadiness in their position, thus remindind us that they're in an uncomfortable situation, to say the least.

SIEV X Screening

Congratulations to the people who've worked tirelessly
on this valuable project (see link and article below).
The minister and the government she's a part of
clearly don't think that informing students about what
has happened in our recent history with asylum seekers,
or instiling them a sense of compassion or open
mindedness, forms a part of "Australian values".

A reminder that in Sydney this Monday 23 October, 6pm,
RACNSW will screen a short documentary about the
SIEV-X tragedy, and and discuss potential campaigning
around the issue.

Room 2, First floor, Teachers Federation, 23 Mary St
Surry Hills (between Albion & Reservoir Sts).

Last Update: Thursday, October 19, 2006. 1:28pm (AEST)

Ms Bishop says the SIEV X disaster should not be used
to push an agenda. (file photo) (ABC TV)

Minister concerned at schools' SIEV X case study

The federal Education Minister, Julie Bishop, has
accused the authors of a case study on the SIEV X
maritime disaster of using the incident
inappropriately to promote a political agenda.

More than 350 asylum seekers died when the boat known
as the SIEV X sank on its way to Australia in 2001.

A group claiming no affiliation with any political
organisation, has launched a case study of the
disaster to be used in New South Wales secondary
schools.

Ms Bishop says she has nothing against children being
taught facts in history classes but she does have
concerns about the plan to use the study in schools.

"A tragic accident should not be used to push a
political agenda and students need to be given the
facts, and not unsubstantiated rumour, in order to
form their own judgements and form their own opinions
about this matter."

However, the Opposition's Immigration spokesman, Tony
Burke, has endorsed the plan to teach children about
the SIEV X disaster.

"SIEV X is part of Australian history," Mr Burke said.

"It's part of our experience for the simple reason
that the people on that vessel were on their way to
Australia hoping to become Australians and I don't
think we should pick and choose which parts of our
history are appropriate for children to know about."

Here's some links to stories about the opening of the
SIEV-X memorial, which a couple of us from Sydney and
Melbourne RACs attended in Canberra on Sunday.

Wreck, Heat and the Fluffy Note

As a National Art School student, I was wondering like the rest of us why the hell Maquarie Uni, after accepting to take over our Darlo Landerneau, had finally decided to let the hen down. Well the answer might be given by UWS actually (here, big big thank you to Mayhem). Isn't it because, like the later, they'd like to get rid of the arts altogether? :( and soon repeat Goebbels words, "Each time I hear the word culture, I grab my gun"? Doesn't it make you shudder?

Merdre. (Read again your Jarry's King Ubu if you reckon I should have written merde.)

So, if you find this as absurd as we all do, just read this:

"Dear All,

I know there's a lot to be said against internet
petitions, but this UWS thing is terrible!

First NAS is being given the merger shove and NOW -
the entire visual and performing arts faculty of a
university - is being shut down.

THIS IS NOT A GET-UP Petition!

PLEASE:go to:

http://www.petitiononline.com/uws6Arts/petition.html

and sign the petition, or start writing to your state
and fedral pollies and newspapers - all the ones that
keep murmering about Arts in Western Sydney being
really important.

PLEASE forward this onto your networks/friends/ anyone
you might know who gives a damn about art, education,
new media and culture.

Cut and paste the letter below:


SAVE UWS ARTS

This petition is an initiative of University of
Western Sydney arts students, to protest the decision
on the part of the University's College of Arts/School
of Communication Arts to suspend its Fine Arts and
Electronic Arts programs and abandon its Performance
program. The Fine Arts and Electronic Arts programs as
they currently exist are being taught out, and the
plan is for a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts to replace
them. Intake for this program has been indefinitely
suspended. Show your support for the implementation of
this program by signing this petition. We believe it
is important that this proposed program, when
implemented, services the professional needs of arts
students, lecturers and the arts communities in
western Sydney.

Please support art education in western Sydney by
signing this petition and forwarding this link to your
network. For information and updates go to the Save
UWS Arts Blog: http://www.saveuwsarts.blogspot.com

Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,

Or make up your own.

Oh, and there's global warming too... 37°c in Sydney on SAturday, made everyone's head hot, starting by my fluffy one!

so if you feel concerned, just read this:

THE 2006 WALK AGAINST WARMING
++++++++++++ +++++++++ ++++++++

On the

++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++
International Day of Action on Climate Change
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++

Saturday November 4, 2006

This year's second "Walk Against Warming" is likely to become, and SHOULD
become, the single largest citizens' action in our country since a long
time - and hopefully the largest citizen's action in Australian history - if
for no other reason, then for the fact that this year's drought goes on the
record as the biggest drought ever.

There's a Walk Against Warming also NEAR YOU ... check the website through
the link below - all known locations so far are listed.

One species threatened by the aforementioned warming is the mole. Icannot but be concerned by it, since it's described as having "a pink fluffy exterior"!
ARTISTS: Make a difference, Make a mole

Call out to Artists
As part of the fight to save Yellabinna Environment association on
Kokatha Mula land, we are calling out to artists to recreate the
Kokatha mole as a plush stuffed creature to be exhibited and auctioned
as a fundraiser for the ‘mole hunt’ and fight to save the land.

Kokatha country covers large stretches of harsh arid land in the far
west of South Australia, stretching from Ceduna to the edge of the
Nullabor, It is home to Kokatha Mula people. Yellabinna is culturally
significant to the Kokatha Mula Seven Sisters dreaming is connected
throughout the Yellabinna sand dune system by rockholes. Yellabinna is
home to 4 million hectares of pristine mallee woodlands, and to
critically endangered blind marsupial mole amongst other threatened
species.

This precious country is now under threat from extensive mineral
exploration and undergoing feasibility studies to begin large open cut
sand mining project.

As a tool to protect this special county, there is currently a search
on for the endangered blind marsupial mole known as the ‘Notoryctes
Caurinus’. There have been few sightings of the mole in recent years,
however the documentation of this endangered species could be a crucial
element in saving the largest mallee woodland in the world.
So we are calling upon artists to recreate this beautiful little
creature. We are planning to tour the exhibition to Mori Gallery,
Sydney CBD, TINA in Newcastle, Alice Springs, and hopefully many other
destinations in Australia. EXHIBITIONS WILL BEGIN IN LATE SEPTEMBER, SO
WE NEED ARTISTS TO CONTACT US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If you are interested in participating, we will send you out an
artist
kit with more detailed information, images, and an official patch for
your mole. Also if you know of a gallery which may be interested in
housing this unique exhibition, please let us know.

Please contact Renata on 0422854184 or renatafield@yahoo.com.au
For more information on Googatha land see http://googatha.tripod.com/

Mole specs
: 15-20cm long
: 7-12cm high
: Pink fluffy exterior
: 2 fleshy coloured flippers 5-10cm long
: Stunted fleshy coloured tail 2-3cm long
: Hidden facial features
A google image search of "Notoryctes Caurinus" will give image results





Now, I can hear you mumble: who's responsible for the global warming? global d$^£*k heads?
well, hum,

The 2006 G20 meeting of finance ministers, reserve bank governors and
heads of the World Bank and IMF will take place in Melbourne on
November 18-19. This will be the most significant gathering in
Melbourne of people responsible for pushing corporate-led
globalisation, neoliberalism and capitalism since the World Economic
Forum in 2000.
Global corporate capitalism is a ruthless system — a system with scant
regard for the interests of humans. It has co-opted and corrupted our
political leadership, and the leadership of many other nations. Our
action should be seen as a vote of no confidence in this leadership, an
act of defiance and resistance, and a demand that our democracy return
to valuing the interests of humans and the environment above all else.
You can help.

But Fluff is Fluff, so since the Fluff must go on, take a walk on the fluffy side;
at Gaffa Galllery, there is:

Buzzz and weeds

If you missed the church of Kathellisism last night at the Buzzz (not Buzz, BuZZZ) bar (349 King Street, Newtown), well, too bad, you missed the bohême, the glamour, the clamours and the rest ( the bourgeois were exceptionally discreet). It's a bit as if, going to a damn fine restaurant, you had chosen the surimi instead of the mud crab, or instead of the kangaroo fillet, the tofu tartare. Welll... nexxxt chance wednesday fortnight, same place same time, lucky you!)


And that "White Trash" by Adam Hill in the Frolic shop window, 501 King Street! Bliss on branch, as Frogs exclaim.

At the Addison Road Gallery (142 Addison RD Marrickville) this Saturday 14th, between5 and 8 pm, Loris Quantock opens a show of paintings and constructions, and the comedian Rod Quantock will perform with the caustic humour he featured on teevee - before getting the sack for being TOO caustic. This is a free country, right? But can one be THAT free? (Check out Momô's fate in the Greek Theogony by Hesiod...) The show is running till the 29th October.

Also on this Monday 16th October, from 6.30pm at King Street Gallery on Burton, 102 Burton Street, Darlinghurst, "Art with a Heart for the Wayside Chapel" will take place, featuring works by

Another exciting event at a longer term is "Sculpture in the Vineyards", opening on the 7th of December (that's Thursday) in three valleys around Sydney. Visit www.sculptureinthevineyards.blogspot.com for more details, and while you're at it, go to www.weedyconnection.com: this website is a fantastic encyclopedia on Australian native plants, their names, characteristics,uses, and their link to the country and to the people who live on it, autochtonous and immigrants.

Drawing in Summer

This summer, for the first time since its creation in 2002, Alpha House Sketch-Club is running till Christmas. The last session of the year will be on Sunday 18th December 2006, and we'll be back at the easels two weeks afterwards, Sunday 10th January 2007.

Same story for Brandling Street Art Society: last session of the year on Saturday 17th December; first of next year, Monday 4th January. Oh, and they're having a show opening on Friday 24th November 2006, running till Sunday 26th.

So, no Alpha Sketch-Club on the 26th!

And now, what's up in Fluffytown? A lot, because it's sprign and sap is overflowing.

On now at the Mori Gallery (168 Day Street, Sydney) till the 4th November,

- a photo-video 'Traditional Knowledge Recording Project' by Sharon Ngallametta and Daniel Bracegirdle, or how to survive in the Bush when you forgot your can-opener.

-'61 Pimlico-181 Hay' by Karron Bridges is a photo-doco, beautiful but not glamourous only, on one of the major industries of Koolmalie (?), a small rural mining town in Oz: Sex. The show was censorad there as not suitable for families!

- 'Peel' by Willurei Kirkbright-Burney deals with the human body, serialisation and the photo reproduction, in a sombre style.

Check it all out on morigallery.com.au.


DO NOT MISS, among the works displayed in Walking the street in south King Street, Newtown, Adam Hill's piece 'White Trash', featuring a bunch of governants faces on the eponym garbage bin. Jubilatory gem!

On the Live side, if you haven't heard the Church of Kathellicism at Succulent, come and enjoy their first gig at the Buzz Bar, 349 King Street, on Wednesdady 11th October (Hey, it's tonight, 7.30 pm!), and each second Wednesday, same place, same time. The gypsie, cabaret-like music performed by a masterful, ever-crowded-with-amazing-guests acoustic band, and the vibrant, over the top presence and voice of Kath Ellis will transport you to Epiphany Land. That's what all the initiates say after their first go.

Opening on Thursday 12th October at Gaffa Gallery (330 Crown Street, Surry Hills), Profile Week III is an overview on what contemporary art the gallery exhibits; and I have a piece in there!


On quite another note, out of the entertainment section,but because under the fluff, one sometimes find body bags, this Saturday at Sydney Town Hall at 10.30 am, there will be a Memorial Ceremony For The Lebanese War Victims. Lest we forget that many Australian family have been devastated by the loss of a lost one in the bombing of a city overseas.


Elfluff.
