ON TODAY’S PROGRAM:

I speak to Josephine Skinner and Megan Monte, Co-Directors of a new contemporary art space in Paddington called Cement Fondu.

Cement Fondu will present a multi art form program of curated exhibitions, featuring visual arts, performance, dance and music by Australian and International artists.

The inaugural exhibition takes a fresh look at SUBURBIA through the eyes of a culturally and geographically diverse selection of artists. It will include collaborations with other organisations including Studio A  who tackle the barriers that artists living with intellectual disability face in accessing conventional education, professional development pathways and opportunities needed to be successful and renowned visual artists and Sweatshop – Western Sydney Literacy Movement who are devoted to empowering groups and individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds through training and employment in creative and critical writing initiatives.

My music selection for the show has a suburban feel.
