The Japan Foundation, Sydney, is now accepting proposals for the Facetnate! 2009 program. Australia-based emerging visual artists and/ or curators are welcome to apply. Proposals will be for visual art works - fine art, craft, film, new media, or other visual art – and should clearly demonstrate a strong Japan influence.

You have until November 28 to get your submissions in.

Could someone guess your favourite piece of music just by looking at you? And what would this choice say about you? I will be in an exhibition called Local Portraits at the Casula Powerhouse in late September. My favourite song was You’d Better Be Home Soon, by Crowded House. There will be 65 photos in the exhibition, taken by photogrpaher Jim Rolon.

I’ve been shortlisted for Soya 2008 in the Visual Communications section!!! Amazing! note: the image they are using for the VC section was photographed by Haline.

After 7 years of working through many many variations, some false starts, the Casula Powerhouse website is live.
