An installation-performance work comprising sculptures, video, floor-
and wall-pieces made with volcanic soils from each of the individual
mountains, projections of topographical drawings, environmental sound
recordings, spatially manipulated electronics and live cello performances.
Canvas by Judy WATSON The Glass House Mountains are a series of ancient
eroded volcanoes located in the Sunshine coast hinterland of Southeast
Queensland, Australia. The ten mountains, named in Aboriginal lore, are
powerful presences. Seen from across the water of the Pumicestone
Passage, their mystical forms seem to float above the ground. They
suggest iconic images of levitating rock, reverberating with the deep
sonorities of gigantic bells.
The Glass House Mountains are a dramatic terrain for investigating the
acculturation? of natural environments through processes of mapping. The
project draws on the multiple histories surrounding these mountains. It
reflects views from both an Indigenous knowledge base in which country
is synonymous with spiritual and cultural values and European attitudes
to land in which maps record histories of exploration, ownership and the
exploitation of resources.
The installation project looks at different ways of mapping the Glass
House Mountains as well as some of the cultural implications and
frictions that might arise as Indigenous and non-Indigenous maps collide
on the same sites. The project uses the Glass House Mountains as a prism
to reflect on the archaeological dimensions of sites in country
On the one hand, there are the stories of the Gubbi-Gubbi nation, the
oral or sonic maps that articulate relationships between sites in
country and recognise the mountains as ancestor figures, there are
language forms that were used to announce entry into clan territories
and myths that connect astronomical observations to ritual places. On
the other, there are the charts of explorers (Captain Cook, who named
the mountains in 1770, Matthew Flinders, 1799 and 1802), topographical
maps made by surveyors and army personnel (Dixon, 1842, Vance, 1920s),
cadastral maps (showing ownership of land), geological and mining maps
as well as very recent satellite images.
The artistic collaboration will draw upon the following resources:
Indigenous oral histories, particularly stories surrounding Tibrogargan,
historical records and images, early surveyor's charts, topographical,
cadastral and satellite image maps and geological information.
Additional technical assistance in producing elements of the
installation will be provided by Urban Art Projects (Brisbane) and RMIT
University's Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory (Melbourne).

DARK MATTER <../../projects/dm/index.html> is an an
installation-performance and international collaboration featuring music
by the British composer Richard BARRETT <../../composers/barrett.html>
and installations by the Norwegian artist Per Inge BJÿRLO
<../../collaborators/bjorlo.html>. The music is performed by ELISION
Ensemble <../../about/index.html> and Norway's Cikada Ensemble
<http://www.cikada.no> with all eighteen musicians under the leadership
of Cikada's conductor Christian EGGEN <../../players/eggen.html>.
From the very start Bj¯rlo and Barrett have collaborated on this
project, which attempts to integrate music, live electronics,
performance and visual art. Bj¯rlo `furnishes' an empty room of approx.
15x30 metres with installation, instruments, objects and powerful
lights. He has constructed the musican's chairs, individual
installations, and the audience seats. This creates a visual and spatial
consistency and a smooth transition between performer and spectator.
DARK MATTER <../../projects/dm/index.html> premiered in Brisbane in
2001, and opened the Berliner Festspiele?s contemporary music festival
Maerzmusik in 2003.
For more information, images and reactions see the the DARK MATTER
