Response

From University Gallery
22 Jun – 4 Aug
Please join us for the exhibition opening at
Hunter Region Botanic Gardens
Sat 22 June at 1:30pm
Response is an opportunity for an invited group of art practitioners to make and respond to the natural environment of the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens. Sculpture has long held a dialogue with spaces – architectural and natural. The artists here use found and observed processes, colours and materials to produce works that are reflections on the passing of time in nature.
The opportunity to embed an artwork in this significant garden environment, offers an evocative space for creative freedom in concert with respectful engagement with the sub-tropical rainforest area in the gardens.
Response is a partnership between the University Gallery at the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens.

Soul Movers
June 28, 2019
9:00pm - 12:30am Soul Movers
You want a word to describe the Soul Movers? How about electric.
The Soul Movers have returned from playing shows from LA to NYC at the same time recording a sizzling new album at many of the legendary studios of the South: Sun & Royal Studios in Memphis and FAME and Muscle Shoals Studios in Alamaba. With their sonic pilgrimage now recorded - visually and sonically.
The Soul Movers return home with bad road food stories, hotel hi-jinks and long roads full of new material which they can't wait to share in live shows with their fans back home.
The Soul Movers delved deep into their musical DNA to create an album that spans not only the spectrum of their musical influences but attempts to do justice to their deep passion for soul, the many that came before them, and how those voices and sounds have influenced them in such personal and lasting ways. The US live shows and recording trip really was a musical identity search and pilgrimage of epic proportions! With a musical spectrum reaching over Soul and Pop, Blues and Rock - the band travelled from LA to NY finding legends to collaborate and record with, developing their talents & abilities, and making their wildest music-making dreams come true.
Originally formed by Lizzie, (with Deniz Tek) ARIA Hall of Famer and legendary guitarist Murray Cook joining Lizzie at the helm in 2015. The group has evolved over the years, with the line-up now including original bass player Andy Newman with well-known drummers Stu Wilson, Calvin Welsch and Glenn Abbott joining the magical keys-man Marko Simec for a national album release in 2019.
Fans reach out for The Soul Movers' music with both arms finding music that resonates deep in their hearts with powerful messages that make life, and all its experiences powerfully real, utterly communal and something when survived we all grow from. Apart from that,just pure fun and wild musical excitement and of course ultimate dancing music!

A HUGE EXHIBITION OF CHINA'S TERRACOTTA WARRIORS IS COMING TO THE NGV

It's one of two immersive exhibitions focusing on ancient and modern Chinese art heading to the Victorian gallery next winter.
Back in 1982, Melbourne played host to one of China's most important ancient artworks: a collection of statues known as The Terracotta Army. Crafted between 221–206 BCE and first discovered in the Shaanxi province in 1974, it made its international debut at the National Gallery of Victoria — and now, 37 years later, it's returning for the NGV's 2019 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series.
Dubbed Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality, the five-month exhibition will feature eight warrior figures and two life-size horses from The Terracotta Army, alongside two half-size replica bronze chariots that are each drawn by four horses. They were created during the reign of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang and were buried near his tomb more than 2200 years ago. The pieces coming to Melbourne only represent a fraction of the entire work, which numbers more than 8000 figures in total.
If you're wondering how big of a deal the statues are, the answer is very. The Terracotta Army is considered one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century and has also been described as the 'Eighth' Wonder of the World. Displaying at the NGV from May 24 to October 13, 2019, the selected pieces will be accompanied by more than 150 other ancient Chinese treasures sourced from museums and Shaanxi archaeological sites. Expect to rove your eyes over priceless gold, jade and bronze artefacts that date back more than 3000 years, charting China's artistry across the country's formative period.
Looking to the present as well as the past, the NGV's winter season will also celebrate acclaimed Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. His work is no stranger to Australia — in 2014, Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art hosted its own showcase — however, his Melbourne exhibition will feature all new pieces. With Cai known for his large-scale installations, The Transient Landscapewill include 10,000 porcelain birds suspended in a spiral formation, in an artwork that links to The Terracotta Army. Specifically, it'll create a 3D version of a calligraphic drawing that depicts Mount Li, which is where Qin Shi Huang and his terracotta warriors were buried.
Another of Cai's new works will feature a porcelain sculpture of peonies placed in the middle of a 360-degree gunpowder, with his entire show taking inspiration from Chinese culture and philosophy. The world-renowned talent will also help design Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality, making the two concurrent exhibitions as immersive as possible.
'Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality' and 'Cai Guo-Qiang: The Transient Landscape' will exhibit as part of the NGV International's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces presentation, running from May 24 to October 13, 2019. For further details or to buy tickets, visit the NGV website.

Wolfmother confirmed to headline a HUGE 2019 Scene & Heard Festival

After a massive 2018, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Scene & Heard couldn’t get any bigger, right?
Well, you’d be wrong because the lineup for the 2019 festival, which kicks off at Wickham Park on Sunday 10 November, has dropped overnight and it’s a doozy!
Leading the charge this year are Aussie heavy rockers Wolfmother who are fresh from a massive Splendour In The Grass gig and an international tour.
Amazing hitmaker Alex Lloyd will also be marking a milestone at this year’s festival – the 20th anniversary of his platinum-selling debut album Black The Sun – a record Alex will perform in full on the Scene & Heard stage.
The treats just keep coming, too with the 2019 bill rounded out by rockers Eskimo Joe and Even, crowd favourites Sneaky Sound System and the glorious indie power pop of Jebediah and Magic Dirt.
Wow!
To put the icing on the cake, Newcastle will also host the “Don’t Come Monday Stage” – a party zone designed to evoke only the best memories of the boiler room.
Championed this year by The Potbelleez DJ’s, the stage will feature Andy Murphy and John Course.
Scene & Heard is more than a festival. It’s about creating a connection to a time. A time before people cared about ‘likes’, and festival moments weren’t Instagram opportunities but collective memories.
Those wanting to create new memories and relive the old ones can head here to register for the pre-sale.
Members pre-sale begins Tuesday 11 June from 9am.
General public tickets are on sale Wednesday 12 June from 9am
