From January until July, Tape Projects are occupying Frame, a window in the Platform art space suited perfectly to the kind of noisy, flickery work we do. Set back from the main corridor of windows, in the dark, quiet nook next to the Degrave Street stairs, Frame is a platform on which to experiment with new ideas and showcase the work of a myriad of temporal artists from Melbourne and beyond.

2. Call for expressions of interest in Next Wave Project 2010

From Clare Rae:
“Along with Victoria Bennett, I'm currently organising a project for the 2010
Next Wave Festival, to take place in Melbourne in May, 2010.

We are proposing to create a project that directly engages with ideas around
feminism, specifically challenging the idea that we are in a ‘post-feminist’
climate thus rendering such investigations redundant. At a time when ‘post’
pre-empts feminism, feminist artists need to create complex work that
balances political themes and contemporary aesthetics. This project sets
itself apart from previous exhibitions by introducing a new young feminist
perspective to the Melbourne community, one that incorporates varied and
conflicting visual and textual strategies.

The outcome of this project will involve eight artists and eight writers,
and will take the form of an exhibition, and a catalogue/book. Our
exhibition will highlight a broad cross-section of emerging artists working
in a feminist context.

As our project is primarily concerned with emerging artists and writers, to
adhere the Next Wave guidelines we are specifically looking at artists aged
30 and under.”

To express interest in this project please contact Clare or Victoria, by early next week:
