Arts Alive News*					Ends approx. 6.00

Item 1: bells.(0.10)
Starts with: ：*
Ends with: music fade.

That was proof of my lack of musical talent, as I performed on a set of Federation Bells designed and cast by Neil McLachlan and Anton Hassel (Hazel).  Their Federation Bells are one example of sound installations now documented in a new web site* More on that later on the program*

Item 2a:  Australian Impressionists (0.15)
Starts with: ：It is an extraordinary exhibition*
Ends with: *in one place at one time

Gerard Vaughn, director of the National Gallery of Victoria, introducing to the media a major exhibition of the works of the key artists of the Australian Impressionist period, some time referred to as the Heidleberg School.  The exhibition of some 250 works spanning the period 1883 to 1897 has just opened at the NGV・s Federation Square galley...  

Item 2b:  Australian Impressionists (4.27)
Starts with: ：*Now the works you are going to see*
Ends with: *have done a wonderful job.

Gerard Vaughn, director of the National Gallery of Victoria.  And it is truly a luminous exhibition, the climax of which is the sight of the newly cleaned painting by Tom Roberts, the Shearing of the Rams, or as cartoonist Leunig once satirised it the Ramming of the Shears.  Many of the works on exhibition are part of the Australian cultural mythology, so it is disappointing the show will not tour:  You・ll have to come to Melbourne before 8 July to see it at the NGV at Federation Square.    We don・t often think of sound, other than music and speech as a medium of artistic expression, but sound performance and sound design is more prevalent than you might think.  Sound artist Ros Bandt has just launched a website that is both a virtual museum of sound art, and a directory of where you will find sound art today, especially in Melbourne*

Item 3: Interactive map of sound spaces (4.07)
Starts with: The interactive.   
Ends with:  bound in pages of a sequential number.

Ros Bandt, director of the Australian Sound Design project, and you can explore the sound heritage of Melbourne on the web.  You・ll find a link at www.australian.unimelb.edu.au/  and we・ll put a link at www.artsaliveradio.com
