This collaborative work made with Peter Ellis was selected by Guest Curator Brendan Lee for Turn Up Your Radio Exhibition at Trocadero Art Space. Turn Up Your Radio is an exciting new exhibition curated by guest curator Brendan Lee presenting artworks by some of Australia's most influential musicians who are also professional visual artists. The exhibition includes members of Macromantics, Ratcat, Beaches, Dick Diver, Cosmic Psychos, and the The Dirty Three, along with solo artists such as Darren Sylvester. The exhibition includes a cross section of emerging to established visual artists who have developed a creatively important musical career. Turn Up Your Radio questions the reading of artworks by influential artists with musical outputs by exploring the dynamics and the challenges of both mediums and how this versatility opens up challenging observations of contemporary Australian culture. The music track selected was composed by myself, Peter Ellis and Louise Weaver. A playlist of songs selected by each artist will accompany the show along with a text written by Vincent Alessi, Curator at the Ian Potter Museum. Artists include: Juan Ford PET EARWIG Steph Hughes DICK DIVER Darren Sylvester Mick Turner DIRTY THREE Phil Edwards Peter Ellis AND Jon Campbell OLYMPIC DOUGHNUTS Dean Muller COSMIC PSYCHOS Jarrad Kennedy THE BRUTALS Jade Walsh THE FLUFFS ELECTRIC Nic Dalton RATCAT/LEMONHEADS Andrew McLaughlin RADIANT CITY Ali McCann BEACHES Romy Hoffman ROMY/AGENDER/MACROMANTICS Ben Snaath ORLANDO FURIOUS Tilly Perry There was a following radio interview with the curator on Triple J which reached a wide audience.
