One of Australia’s leading Indigenous photographers has been nominated as a Master of Photography by National Geographic. The 2009 NAIDOC Artist of the Year Wayne Quilliam said “To be considered for such an award is an honour and I hope this inspires other Indigenous photographers to follow my path. The past 18 months have been very exciting, winning the NAIDOC award, developing exhibitions in Germany, Japan, Russia, China, Indonesia, Guam and several in Australia including the ‘Sorry’ and ‘Lowanna’ series and having my work featured in more than 100 publications has been times has been extraordinary. In the next few months I will open shows in Cairo, Riyadh, Beirut, Sydney, Melbourne and early next year Italy, France, Austria and Perth including the launch a new series of books”.

THIS IS PART 3/3 FROM THE FIRST WORMHOLES PERFORMANCE (BEIRUT 2009).
(here’s the links for the first and the second excerpts)

SECOND PERFORMANCE WILL TAKE PLACE AT LES HALLES, BRUSSELS (halles.be) NEXT WEEK (29/04/10).

——————————-
——————————-

Wormholes is an ongoing audio-visual project by Mazen Kerbaj and Sharif Sehnaoui. It is performed live and in total improvisation mode.
The excerpt shown here is taken from the first performance, Wormholes #1, played at Beirut Art Center on November 18th, 2009.

——————————-

WORMHOLES by Sharif Sehnaoui:

The question of a music/drawing duo has been persistent since the early stages of my artistic relation with Mazen Kerbaj, but how to frame it?

In 2008, Mazen came to me with a new system he had developed, that could allow him to perform in a live setting. It consists of drawing on a glass table, using a wide array of ink, water, solvents, brushes and various unidentified objects. With this setting, both sound and visual elements are improvised and exist only during the timeframe of the performance. Nothing is permanent or even fixed, the lines have their own life, they are constantly modifying. As I can stop the sound of my guitar by muting the strings with my hand, Mazen can erase his entire drawing with one move. The possibilities for interaction have increased considerably.

Wormholes is an attempt to alter a specific segment within time and space, hoping to open a corridor between two artistic disciplines, allowing them to give each other meaning. It is in many ways the outcome of over 12 years of artistic collaboration and understanding. (Sharif Sehnaoui)
