ARTS WEDNESDAY 18 JANUARY 2012

This week at about 10:40 am, we hear the last of our series of Sydney By Design with Ed Lippmann, talking about Sydney as it could be and our guest to wrap up the series is landscape architect Jane Irwin.

My special guest this week is Khaled Sabsabi, whose is one of the artists exhibiting in Edge of Elsewhere, a collaborative project between Gallery 4A and the Campbelltown Art Centre. Khaled’s installation, called corner,  is a continuation of his documentation of the Naqshbandi Sufi, a process that has seen him win the Blake Prize in 2011 and earned him the Helen Lempriere Travelling Scholarship, which enabled him to travel to Lebanon, Cyprus and Syria last year. I recorded our conversation with my new toy at Gallery 4A and I’ll play it at 11:00am.

I’ll continue music from the new CDs I bought in India and Singapore – some more Indian but also some others, including Gershwin and Frank Sinatra.

As always I look forward to your company!
