Te Papa / Toi Poneke installation

Working with Artist & Curator Suzanne Tamaki & exclusive access to the Te Papa Artefacts & Collections.

This unique installation of integrated Augmented Reality & immersive media utilises genuine artefacts & archives with state of the art new technology involving Augmented & Merged Reality that will surprise, excite & enlighten... where art & education are cohesively confused in an immersive statement.

Producer Joff Rae says "Tamaki presents these works as a functional element of her curatorial process establishing a purposeful & relative response to the works of the selected artists showing in the group exhibition... the interactive AR & MR are unique artistic presentations & works - it's clever & insightful that she uses genuine artefacts from the Te Papa Collections"

Suzanne Tamaki presents selected Augmented & Merged Reality works.

This Is Art - a venture by Ero /  by JoFF Rae

Ero...

"After months of negotiations I have finally manage to score a pop up studio/shop in the third largest shopping complex in Australia, the numbers are huge, 16.7 million people through per annum with approx 250,000 through each week. Highpoint shopping centre in Maribyrnong have handed me the keys to this shop space. In this space it will be a studio, shop, gallery and workshop all rolled into one. For the gallery we will have a show once a month for a week starting in February so if anyone would like to have a show or group show pm me and I will email you details. The rent will be $450 for the week with $100 being for food, advertising etc. Commission will be a pay what you think is appropriate deal. Workshops will be starting in the school holidays and if anyone has a particular workshop they would like to put on pm also. I want to run eight hour workshops broken into two four hour blocks spread out over three days with three workshops running concurrently over the three days and depending on interest ten to fifteen participants per workshop. Each participant with be charged $65 per workshop with $35 per participant going to the artist taking the workshop. If their are artisans who have products they have made I would also be interested in hearing from you. Anyone who does performance of any genre pm me. This project I am calling 'This is Art' and will be based around El lissiky's beat the whites with the red wedge. Substituting the whites with mass consumerism and the red wedge with the subculture of art. This is an idea I have been working on for a couple of years. It is about intervention in a community to see if I can affect change with art being it's principal tool."

Melbourne FRINGE '13 /  by JoFF Rae

2013 MELBOURNE FRINGE FESTIVAL   18 SEPT - 6 OCT 

Melbourne Fringe is a not-for-profit organisation that presents the annual Melbourne Fringe Festival. They provide artists with the tools to develop, present and promote their work, creating a community of audiences and artists that together represent a National arts network.

The Melbourne Fringe Festival is an open-access event. Each year artists from a wide scope of art-form and experience join the Independent Arts Program to develop and present their work as part of the Festival. Through the Independent Arts Program they run the Festival Hub, a curated space that offers a cross-section of arts experiences throughout the Festival period including the Fringe Club.

Central to each year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival is our Creative Program, Melbourne Fringe produced projects which bring emerging and established artists together to explore new ways to engage audiences with free works in public spaces. In 2012, our Creative Program delivered Double Take and Fringe Furniture.

The Melbourne Fringe Artist Development Program supports Festival participants and the broader independent arts community. Year-round they deliver a range of programs across all aspects of building a successful and sustainable career in the arts.  The Artist Development Programs include mentorships, forums, training and awards.

To present the Festival and support year-round activities, Melbourne Fringe works with a range of committed and valued partners.

TREE T - Weston Frizzell 2009 /  by JoFF Rae

800mm x 1200mm

mixed media on hardboard

It is a letter from the Weston Frizzell "WORD" series of prints that appropriate iconic images of letters from prominent New Zealand artworks & artists & other images, further referencing the hip hop phrase "word" as an exclamation or positive expression.

TREE T has featured in the prints AOTEAROA & TAUPO.

Other letters have included the AA A & O GORDON with appropriated image from the Automobile Association & Gordon Walters; &P was taken lifted from the classic L&P logo & other letters are from shoe polish, other McCahon paintings & familiar imagery.

TREE T References the McCahon's Urewera mural, 1975.

By no chance the original mural was the controversial McCahon stolen from the Waikaremoana Visitor Centre at Aniwaniwa in 1997 but subsequently recovered.  The Tutu or 22 is a direct reference to Tame Iti as his DJ name of Dr Tutu.

The Word series of Weston Frizzell letter paintings and prints can be exhibited in flexible configurations, in sequential locations.

As they sell, we add  other new letters to the lineup and individual letters can be replaced with new versions or ideas, to allow the same show to be exhibited in many evolving configurations. Its an idea format designed to be shown repeatedly.

Individual letters realised as paintings are 1200 x 800,  acrylic lacquer, enamel, 2 pack clear, very sophisticated paint technology on wooden box frames. In NZ $4500 (negotiable less 10% for combinations). Before being sold the works are photographed to a very high spec, recombined to produce a range of Word ideas produced as limited edition prints.  

Prints are up to 1000mm x 500mm archival pigment inkjets on Hahnemule 310 gsm rag (there is no better paper); stamped, signed and numbered by both artists; editions between 50 and 180 with price point between $450 and $900 NZ.

To date we have sampled the key NZ historic superbrands, and appropriated many from Colin McCahon & Gordon Walters paralleling his graphic vocabulary with product brands, to evolve a remixed montage of art/pop culture identities, configured into an alphabet, encapsulating the Kiwi psyche.
