Victor Lancaster

31 March, 2010

In the first of Stutter's ''Four Sets With...'' 2010 series, iconic Melbourne street drummer, Victor Lancaster, appears in collaboration with some of Melbourne's finest avant-improvisers. Will be unreal.

Armed with fiery vocal abstraction and a feline companion, Earle Stuart (from the legendary outsider Hip Hop collective, Curse Ov Dialect), joins Vic for a special collaboration of beats and blurts. Followed by a percussion duo of absurd gravitas, featuring Victor with internationally renowned avant schlagwerker, Sean Baxter.

Victor will then be joined by MaxMSP/real-time processing genius, Marco Cher-Gibard for a performance where the street-drummer sounds are twisted and transformed before your very ears. Capping it all off, a keenly anticipated collaboration between Victor and radical sonic tricksters, Bum Creek, for a wildly transcendental, dada-inspired sound performance in the musique brut tradition.

Marcos Davidson - Artist Talk No.2

31 October, 2009

The street-based origin of the hallmarks of Marcos Davidson and their application in his works.
In the recent publication Kings Way - The Beginning of Australian Graffiti: Melbourne 1983-1992, Marcos Davidson is celebrated as one of Melbourne’s first street artists. Throughout the 80s and early 90s Marcos’ characters were ubiquitous on the streets of Melbourne and uniquely recognizable due to their distinctiveness from traditional tags. Join Marcos for a 30-minute talk as he discusses the street based origins of his hallmarks and their evolution and use in his practice as a jeweller and artist.

In connection to his exhibition The House of Hallmarcos, Until Never invites you to a 30-minute artist talk with Marcos Davidson to learn about this historical and now antique material, known as the first 3D synthetic material, and its role in his work over the span of his 30 year career.

Nat Thomas and Concettina Inserra win the William and Winifred Bowness Prize 2008

9 May, 2008

Until Never is proud to congratulate Nat Thomas and Concettina Inserra on taking out The William and Winifred Bowness Prize 2008. 

PRESS RELEASE
The winners of the William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize for 2008 are Melbourne-based artists, Concettina INSERRA & Nat THOMAS.

Their collaborative submission to the competition, a chromogenic print titled Portrait of mother and daughter, after Mirka 2008, is a homage to the Melbourne artist Mirka Mora and in a broader sense, the place of 'family' within artistic practise.

The work was inspired by a story in Mirka Mora's biography, My Life; Wicked but Virtuous that describes how Mirka spontaneously decorated her face with zinc cream and mascara one dull Sunday afternoon at her holiday house in Aspendale. A photograph was taken which later appeared on the cover of the influential 60s underground publication, Oz Magazine. As Mirka herself recalled 'You can't do better than that on a Sunday afternoon, and it makes me think of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus:' 'Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and its current is strong; no sooner does anything appear than it is swept away, and another comes in its place, and will be swept away too.'

The Prize, which was presented at the MGA on Wednesday 03 September at 6:30pm, was established to promote excellence in photography and will provide an opportunity to view and engage with some of the most interesting contemporary work produced over the past year. Entries opened in March 2008 and closed on 30 May, 2008. All still photo-based media including analogue and digital photography were considered. After attracting a record 363 entries from around the country, the judges selected 34 works by artists which showcase the strength and diversity of contemporary Australian photography.

Inserra and Thomas live in Melbourne and are graduates of RMIT and Victoria College of the Arts respectively.

The judges for this year's prize (Australian artist Rosemary Laing, Tony Ellwood, Director, Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, and Jason Smith, Director & CEO, Heidi Museum of Modern Art) were impressed by the way in which the winning work suggested a complex and challenging artistic practice utilising photography and performance to reference Mirka Mora. Special mention was made of works from Siri Hayes, Christian Capurro and Lynne Roberts-Goodwin.
