2000 FEET AWAY
FrogBattleship in Association with B Sharp presents
For the month of November the Downstairs Theatre at Belvoir St. will become
the state of Iowa, USA, as director Lee Lewis and her 11-person cast present
Weigh’s chilling portrait of a society grappling with the problem
of protecting children from sexual predators. This new play by Anthony
Weigh follows the local deputy sheriff (played by Colin Moody), as he
struggles to enforce a law which has damaging consequences in the community
he works so hard to protect.
2,000 Feet Away asks the question of how society should deal with its
most unwanted citizens. When Neighborhood Watch is just not enough and
prison is not an answer, what options does a community have? The play
probes the outcomes of the Iowa law, examining the rising tide of fear
in our societies and the impulse towards a vigilante style of justice
as our legal systems fail to offer solutions to our biggest social problems.
To win a double pass for a night of your choice: from 3 Nov – 9
Nov simply email Katrina at k.beck@metroscreen.org.au
with 2000 Feet Away in the subject and be
sure to include your address so we can post you the pass and your membership

FLICKER
Exhibition at Artspace
Sydney artist Brent Grayburn’s new exhibition ‘Flicker’
is an experience that takes as a point of reference Joseph Conrad’s
book ‘Heart of Darkness’, and its principle of the Panopticon,
a prison building designed to allow prisoners to be observed without the
viewer being seen.
Surrounded by four screens of imagery on opposing walls, those viewing
‘Flicker’ will become isolated within the centre of the space.
Swamps, rivers and a bleaker world carry two minds toward each other within
a declining environment where even representation has its doubts; a deluded
place with a tinnie and an outboard.
The 4 surrounding screens will run out 23 minutes of highly produced imagery,
that follow Conrad's epic journey upriver into the unknown.
‘Flicker’ is a journey away from the commonly understood rules
of video space into a more haphazard location, where chunks of footage
are removed until there is just black, no sky and often no landscape,
just representations. Two characters, M + K, drift in a cut up narrative
that is confused and out of balance, with images colliding, occasionally
synching, observing. Everything is watching. Nothing is real. Flicker
is a softer journey into a darker place.

Road, Woolloomooloo NSW 2011
