SUMMARY:Talks & Tea // ESSSENSSSE
DESCRIPTION:TALKS & TEA // ESSSENSSSE\nJoin Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) Volunteer Guides for a spotlight talk and walk through of exhibition ESSSENSSSE! \nThis is a social series for visitors to learn more about the current exhibitions\, Bathurst’s vibrant art scene\, and to meet like-minded locals!\nWednesday 9 July and 13 August\n10:30am – 12pm\nFREE\, refreshments provided by donation online or at gallery reception \nAbout the exhibition:\nBathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents ESSSENSSSE\, a joyful work about healing and new beginnings by acclaimed contemporary artist HOSSEI (NSW)\, guest curated by Tesha Malott.\nESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit\, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE follows HOSSEI’s exploration of creating costumes that ‘heal’. Featuring a cast of 16 other-worldly sea creatures\, ESSSENSSSE transitions from a series of dynamic and joyful performances into a sensory\, large-scale installation\, in which visitors are surrounded by a playful\, 100% tactile landscape.\nESSSENSSSE began when HOSSEI became fascinated by the sand dollar sea creatures— their shape\, features\, and how in mediaeval times it was truly believed that sand dollars were mermaid currency. When looking at the sand dollar\, HOSSEI realised that if you were to remove the physical characteristics of a human body\, you would be left with a mouth and an anus\, just like the sand dollar. It is this idea that compelled HOSSEI to make the sand dollar an emblem of the show. An entry point and an exit\, not just with food\, but in the sense of discerning which energies come through and nourish the insides\, and which are let out. ESSSENSSSE is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability. \nA Verge Gallery exhibition\, touring in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW\, supported by the University of Sydney and proudly funded by the NSW Government. Verge Gallery is supported by the University of Sydney Union. \nImage: HOSSEI\, ESSSENSSSE\, 2023. Performer Lauren Booker. Dimensions variable. Photography by Jacquie Manning.

SUMMARY:Matthew Spencer In Conversation

This time she’s being sent up to the Hunter Valley\, where a woman has been found dead in her home.Rose grew up further along the valley. She knows that for every vineyard and golf course resort visited by tourists to the ‘wine country’ there are as many dilapidated fibro houses and drug dens\, in the shadow of one of the state’s largest prisons.A media hound points the finger at the husband\, angering Rose but capturing the attention of journalist turned true crime author Adam Bowman. His book on the ‘Blue Moon Killer’ made him famous but the case nearly cost Rose her life\, and she’s not sure how she feels about seeing him again.Suspects abound\, from the grieving husband to sinister business interests and suspicious locals. But when new evidence connects the crime to an old case\, Rose realises they have no time to lose. The murderer is ready to strike again. \nAbout the authorMatthew Spencer was a journalist at The Australian for twenty years\, with long stints running the Foreign News desk and as Opinion Editor. He has written for newspapers and magazines in Uganda and Kenya and been published in The Australian Financial Review and The Sydney Morning Herald. His debut novel Black River was the winner of the 2023 Inaugural Danger Award for Debut Crime Fiction.
