Regan Tamanui - aka HA Ha - installs an artwork with the assistance of students, staff, and parents at the Australian International School, Singapore. This project coincided with the Annual Art Exhibition, "stART here". The image of Ned Kelly remains as a famous icon of Australian history
The history and legend of infamous Australian outlaw Ned Kelly is being recognised with a stunning exhibition of art on display at the Australian High Commission in Singapore until the end of October.
The ‘LOADED’ exhibition, curated by Gabrielle Cummins from Australasian Arts Projects, includes a collection of pieces by six Australian artists, Sidney Nolan, Adam Cullen, Regan Tamanui, Camie Lyons, Melanie McCollin-Walker and Joanna Logue.
The High Commissioner Philip Green hosted an intimate gathering acknowledging the outstanding work of the artists, with work from the exhibition moved to the residence for the event.
In what is sure to be a very unique situation, Mr Green invited Tamanui (aka 'Ha Ha') to graffiti one of the walls in the dining room at the residence. The result is magnificent piece of artwork that had guests at the event captivated.

DrTuTu/ Guilty of ART!// is a concept that incorporates & elaborates on a body of work from Weston Frizzell & led by Mike Weston with ARTIVIST : creative selected artists & creatives as a media installation & series of actions that together make a symposium surrounding an exhibition event.
The glyphic logo formed by the inverted numerals 22, have been recurring motifs in Weston Frizzell’s work since 2004, first appearing in the DrTuTu featuring Tame Iti exhibition. Dr Tutu is the name Iti adopted when DJing on his various alternative radio slots. In Maori, (and most if not all Polynesian languages also) TuTu has a multiplicity of meanings such as ‘revolution’, ‘to meddle’, ‘arson’, sedition.
The print is an archival fine art pigment inkjet produced on Hahnemule bright white 100% rag stock. Signed, numbered and stamped with the genuine Weston Frizzell rubber stamp.
