Sharne Wolff, arts journalist, writer and co-curator of the exhibition, ‘From Here to There: Australian Art and Walking,‘ held at the Lismore Regional Gallery in 2018, has generously agreed to share some of her experiences curating the exhibition at our meeting.
Our next online Zoom meeting is on Thursday, 14 December, at 7:00 pm, AEDT. As a possible topic we thought we could each reflect on our artistic highlights of 2023 and what we’d like to do and/or have planned for 2024. And raise a glass to the festive season of course.

• GPS, geo-poetic system
Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
