This Is Not Art
festival this long weekend.
Running Thu 2 Oct - Mon 6 Oct up in Newcastle NSW, This Is Not Art is an extremely diverse and interesting independent, emerging and experimental art festival that covers music, writing, poetry, gigs, strange digital art and other nerdy goodness! Panels and workshops in the day, entertainment in the evenings!
It comprises the following sub-festivals/conferences:
Electrofringe
Electrofringe is a festival of experimental electronic arts and culture dedicated to skills development and artistic exchange. It focuses on uncovering emergent forms and places a particular emphasis on encouraging exchange between emerging and established artists.
National Young Writers' Festival
The National Young Writers' Festival is Australia's premier event for emerging writers, publishers, performers and trouble-makers.Far from the seas of white hair, book signings and celebrity author worship you might expect, the NYWF is a DIY, hands-on conversation between equals.
Sound Summit
Sound Summit exists to support brilliant independent musicians, labels and people that work and play in the world of electronic and hip-hop music from both Australia and abroad. Imagine sitting in a workshop with Cotti showing YOU how he makes his tunes...
Critical Animals
Critical Animals musters together honours and postgraduate students (as well as those recently graduated and still at a loose end), early career academics, quasi-intellectuals and anyone else interested in devouring critical contexts for the kinds of experimental and emerging arts and media practices in the This Is Not Art program.
If you have ANY interest in any of these areas or where they overlap then make sure you head up to Newcastle and get involved. Not only that the gigs during the evenings are worth the travelling alone with the following acts playing over various nights:
Antony Milton, Ben Byrne, Cotti, Curse ov Dialect, Hosebeast, KK NULL, Lucky Dragons, Maruosa, Rose Turtle Ertler, Western Synthetics, Birchville Cat Motel, ApSci, Joel Rapaport, A-Love, Wayne Lotek, Dalton, DJ Baku, Pikelet, Fabulous Diamonds, Jim Denley, Kim Myhr, Matt Hoare, Naked On The Vague, Mt Eerie / Microphones, Subsketch, Boxed Voices, Holly Childs, John Harte, Kati Cubby, Sarah Bock, Sarah Davies, Sumugan Sivanesan, Yuka Harte....
Just make sure you secure some accommodation before you head up or you will have to spend the whole weekend awake.
