font: 9.9px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The significance we attach to everyday objects is often less about their common function and more about our relationship to them, their potential to trigger memories, stimulate thoughts and imaginings.

Renate Nisi’s works rather than being grounded in the everyday object, fuses the man made with the mystical as mountains become skyscrapers whilst Lauren Anderson’s work has consistently explored the sticky territory of the visual pun, defying you to laugh.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 9.9px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For further information or images please contact Prue Gramp, Gallery Manager, on (08) 8364 2809 or</span></p> <p color="#183df9" style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 9.9px Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">prue.gramp@acsa.edu.au</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 9.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Images attached: (D) Kate Benda, a pile of books on the floor, 2010, mixed media, 200 x 200mm.

It believes the car park to be full when there are hundreds of free spaces. As a result, cars have to spend a very very long time on the ramp until said brain decides that there are some free spaces.<br />To anyone with some common sense solving this problem would mean emptying the car park for five minutes (at night, for example) and re-setting the brain that runs the car park.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424584021650134892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136789208431501428.post-5237359101643198682010-02-11T16:29:00.000-08:002010-02-11T16:37:12.421-08:00Not so bad, after all<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik42xoDdEVRDYK8alfa_F36BsBn8bH6z_y-B6i12hmUN1A1UTmkYTMqU015E4vUUy44w7iSySIFo_qRHZ2tROgc5ma55EALprgE_X2AFvTT35HDp0G28JVknEkNLPmGnVvL3SEmEa1WqND/s1600-h/DSCN5816.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik42xoDdEVRDYK8alfa_F36BsBn8bH6z_y-B6i12hmUN1A1UTmkYTMqU015E4vUUy44w7iSySIFo_qRHZ2tROgc5ma55EALprgE_X2AFvTT35HDp0G28JVknEkNLPmGnVvL3SEmEa1WqND/s320/DSCN5816.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437149519839480066" /></a><br />Cities in Canada and Australia are most liveable in the world<br />Canadian and Australian cities account for eight of the top ten spots in the Economist Intelligence Unit's latest liveability ranking. Vancouver (Canada) continues to top the Economist Intelligence Unit's global liveability survey with a score of 98%, which bodes well for visitors during the Winter Olympics this year.<br />All of the top ten cities achieve scores of over 95% and almost half of the cities surveyed (64 of 140) score more than 80% which puts them in the very top tier of liveability. For most cities liveability has been unaffected by the global downturn, which may have hit wages and prices but has had less of an impact on factors that the survey measures like infrastructure or crime levels.<br /><br />A recent survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit sows Adelaide at number 8, together with Perth.<br />Not bad, after all.<br /><br />http://www.eiu.com/site_info.asp?info_name=The_Global_Liveability_Report&page=noadsAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424584021650134892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136789208431501428.post-89113812899096912172010-02-01T20:39:00.001-08:002010-02-01T20:43:58.740-08:00Not happy, Rann!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBPOB2ZhXUJDFyov8bgYCboliNzLK8Fqu36iv40S5e8_Ser3ybglif0uVwelM7dgLKNhGltyD0d_1tc0Ex6gnPEGm_oHUmZi5yQ6B75IHEG9dvU1i9SqktXtdbJWCE93XDZcYutEUH4wkR/s1600-h/19570_1170104340117_1453238739_30382270_4999411_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBPOB2ZhXUJDFyov8bgYCboliNzLK8Fqu36iv40S5e8_Ser3ybglif0uVwelM7dgLKNhGltyD0d_1tc0Ex6gnPEGm_oHUmZi5yQ6B75IHEG9dvU1i9SqktXtdbJWCE93XDZcYutEUH4wkR/s320/19570_1170104340117_1453238739_30382270_4999411_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433501929583749378" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}" style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "><span class="UIStory_Message">SOUTH Australia has become one of the few states in the world to censor the internet.<br /><a href="http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,1,26665381-5006301,00.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), "df874079359a2769c1f16b0937ca7b11", event)" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; "><span>http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story</span><wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: block; float: left; margin-left: -10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "></span>/0,1,26665381-5006301,00.html</a></span></h3><div><br /></div><div>Stefan Maguran - 5038 - for compliance</div></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424584021650134892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136789208431501428.post-41309661609293916912010-01-29T00:55:00.000-08:002010-01-29T01:03:58.960-08:00Neil Sheppard at Artistic License Gallery<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXxIaA9avMEzeUCWX7271f7Ae5f1sTCe8RilnX7mFwiT_lB-5EvQGZmeAzlevHvM-BxZiNuP7udWIx1dnEHKWjTG5ebHehd5BfCUAWQ6m-RQgj87SeTM9_anshap5e993x3Iv_Sfs4Ikho/s1600-h/DSCN5939.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXxIaA9avMEzeUCWX7271f7Ae5f1sTCe8RilnX7mFwiT_lB-5EvQGZmeAzlevHvM-BxZiNuP7udWIx1dnEHKWjTG5ebHehd5BfCUAWQ6m-RQgj87SeTM9_anshap5e993x3Iv_Sfs4Ikho/s320/DSCN5939.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432083096521414802" /></a>One of the most prolific artists I've ever met, Neil Sheppard continues his journey into discovering new themes and styles.

With so many theatres having been closed and the imminent demolition of Union Hall, possibly limited or no access to the Scott Theatre and restricted access to the Odeon Theatre - the availability of performance space in Adelaide is at crisis level. What to do when there are no longer any theatres for community groups to buy and return to their former glory. Surely the arts are as valuable to this State as our great sporting heroes and scientists. If so, where is the infrastructure for the masses? In order to address this issue we must join ranks and raise our glorious voices in unison. We, the Arts Community, want more theatres in Adelaide so that everyone who loves to perform has the opportunity to do so. We would be pleased to work with the State and Federal Governments to ensure the best outcomes for the whole community. Let's start talking.Save Our “Festival” State is a joint campaign initiated by Kate Warren (Rosebud Consulting and Secretary of The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of SA) and Benjamin Finn (Urban Myth Theatre of Youth and local performer) DrinksFrom the huge on-line demand this week since the launch of the Save Our "Festival" State fan page (950 fans in five days), we thought it would be a great opportunity to meet sooner rather than later. Special guests and key industry speakers will be attending. Come and have your say and meet like-minded people who are passionate about this current issue and cause. Sunday 8 November at 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm at Mantra on King William, 36 King William Road, Goodwood. Entry is free. TShirts will be available at the end of the week for $20 and will also be available to purchase on Sunday.FORWARD TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE YOU KNOW!For more information contact: Kate Warren (<a href="mailto:kate@rosebudconsulting.com.au">kate@rosebudconsulting.com.au</a>) or Ben Finn (<a href="mailto:admin@urbanmyth.asn.au">admin@urbanmyth.asn.au</a>).</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424584021650134892noreply@blogger.com
