REVELATION by Hayley Gillespie

Arts & Culture

Hayley Gillespie’s Revelation is a figurative interpretation of the literal transposition of biblical and European myth and tradition on to the Australian landscape. The story looks at the similarities of belief systems, stories and fables from one side of the world to the other, as well as the indoctrination of some and suppression of others. The work is fashioned in a European illustrative style, with dark elements throughout, as in the Grimm and Anderson vein, as well as the dark side of the Bible.

“My studies for this have been a long interest in Religion and mythology, dating back from my childhood. My first schooling in England was very pagan, then during high school (Church of England), I became involved with the church and took up Religious studies for my final years.”

Now living in Australia for the past fourteen years, Hayley has developed an interest in Aboriginal culture and European / Australian tales from the early settlers and the similarities and effect they have on each other.

OPENING NIGHT FRI 9 July 2010 5.30pm - 8.30pm
Please join us at Cell Art Space, 109 Lake St (Ergon Energy building window front) at 5.30pm sharp to officially launch Revelation. From 6pm - 8.30pm meet the artist and enjoy food and drinks at Twelve Bar Café, Cnr Lake & Shields St.

National Tree Day

Community

This year, National Tree Day, proudly sponsored by Toyota, will be held on Sunday 1 August nation-wide. Co-founded by Olivia Newton-John and Planet Ark in 1996, it has become Australia’s largest community tree-planting event. Last year's event saw more than a million native trees and shrubs planted at over 3,000 sites around the country.

From caring for our coasts and beaches to building a home for native animals, to growing a garden in the grounds of a school, there are endless opportunities and experiences that volunteers can enjoy this National Tree Day.

For more information on how you can get involved, call the National Tree Day Hotline on 1300 88 5000 or visit treeday.planetark.org.

John Rowles

Music

Licenced all ages* Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult

How many entertainers from Australasia can claim to have partied with Elvis, talked footy with Tom Jones, dated I dream of Jeannie's Barbara Eden, headlined a Vegas show room, and had chart success in the US, the UK and Australia and New Zealand for the past 40 years? You're about to find out when John Rowles heads to regional Queensland this August.

Born and bred in New Zealand, John Rowles' big break came at age 20 when he was discovered by CLIFF RICHARD'S manager PETER GORMLEY. Under the guidance of Gormley, Rowles' fan base exploded following the release of his debut single IF ONLY I HAD TIME. The single reached number two in the UK, New Zealand and Australia and saw Rowles perform on some of the world's biggest television programs and most famous stages.

As well as appearances on TOP OF THE POPS and THE BOB HOPE SHOW, Rowles was invited to perform to a crowd of 68,000 at a NASA benefit concert.
John's relationship with Australia has spanned 46 years when he and fellow New Zealander Eddie Low moved to Australia in 1963 after signing a nine-month contract to sing at the Riverside Inn in Melbourne. After that contract expired, John moved to Sydney and joined a group called ‘The Dingdongers'. John stayed with them for about a year and during his time with them, the group changed their name to ‘The Sundowners'.

Blackbird

Theatre

'Blackbird' is a compelling Australian story, told through a 90 minute theatricalised song cycle. It is also a challenging artistic journey for an emerging indigenous woman artist, and represents the outcome of a six-year creative mentorship guided by senior artists.

‘Blackbird’ explores Megan’s own journey, as she learns the store of her family’s history from her tough and emotionally remote great grandmother, Flora. Megan’s compassion deepens as she comes to terms with the forces that shaped Flora and the generations of women who followed her, as well as those who went before. ‘Blackbird’ creates six strong, characteristic voices as Megan presents the distilled experiences of six generations coming down in the end to her own experience, constantly transforming – even through the moment of performance.

'Blackbird' celebrates resilience, courage, humour and family. The hardest song for Megan to sing, and the one moment of utter despair in 'Blackbird' relates the story of Emily, Kitty's mother, one of the only Ngadjon-ji elders to remain living around Malanda (the Rainforest tribes were taken away to settlements off country) who was taken in 1955 at the age of 85 to
Palm Island, where she died.

By reaching back through an act of empathy and imagination to her foremothers' experiences, Megan brings them back home, for herself. 'Blackbird' links the 19th Century to the present moment through an unbroken chain of experience: from white contact experienced in the rainforest by Flora's Grandmother Emily, to the present. By revisiting these gripping
stories Megan (and the audience) discover the strength of her connection to this compelling history with enormous implications for her quest for identity.

Show times are 6.30PM Tuesdays and Wednesday, 8.00PM Thursday to Saturday. There are no performances Mondays and Sundays. Opening Night packages may be available closer to the date.

International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems

Business

Welcome to the XXIVth International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems, to be held at the Convention Centre in Cairns, a major regional city which is also a gateway to the magnificent Great Barrier Reef and the tropical north of Australia. The ICMRBS is held biennially and brings together a broad cross-section of experts from around the world with interests in the applications of all aspects of magnetic resonance in biology. ICMRBS XXIV will maintain that tradition, featuring plenary and keynote lectures and concurrent sessions that cover new methods development and biological applications of high-resolution and solid-state NMR, EPR, in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy, metabolomics, and magnetic resonance imaging. This conference is the major scientific event in the field of magnetic resonance applications in the biological sciences. Recent conferences have attracted delegates from all over the world, with a growing number of participants from Asia. It is fitting that the XXIVth conference will be held in this region.

On behalf of the Organising and Program Committees, I extend a warm welcome to delegates from around the globe. We look forward to seeing you in Australia in August 2010.
