Maddalena travels to the 12th Ulsan International Woodcut & Linocut Print Art Festival 2024 in South Korea
I am delighted and grateful to Bridget Hillebrand for selecting me to be one of the Australian representatives at the Ulsan International Woodcut & Linocut Print Art Festival in Korea, in the stellar company of Clare Humphries, Michael Schlitz and Melissa Smith. Eleven countries are participating in the invitation-only event, with five participants from each country. This year's theme - Harmony-Communication, Empathy and Diversity. Maddalena was a True Marvel in her Day, my portrait of a 16th-century hirsute woman who was celebrated as a manifestation of divine creativity, seemed to fit the bill. Thank you Bridget!

Radio interview with Kortyna Lingienė about Padarė Žvirblis Alutį as part of the "Ryto allegro" segment on LRT Klasika, 03.06.2024 at 7:05am. Tune in between the 13:35 - 25:40 marks for the interview. (In Lithuanian)
A huge AČIŪ to the lovely Kotryna Lingienė from LRT Radijo for her interest in Padarė Žvirblis Alutį and for being such a friendly and relaxed interviewer. A huge AČIŪ also to the poor editor who had to contend with my Lithuanian language skills (or shortage thereof!) and managed to cobble together something semi-coherent. Tune in between the 13:35 - 25:40 marks here to listen to the interview.

Solo Exhibition: Padarė Žvirblis Alutį, Kauno Paveikslų Galerija,
30 May - 27 August 2024
For the past two months, I have been living and working in Kaunas, Lithuania, courtesy of an artist residency at the Kaunas Picture Gallery, at the invitation of the National MK Čiurlionis Art Museum. The residency culminates with Padarė Žvirblis Alutį, a solo exhibition of eight new lagerphones plus a wall work, alongside eleven existing lagerphones. Also on show will be Mark Bakaitis' gorgeous videos of The Lost Clog with the lagerphones in action. Opening on Thursday 30 May at 5:30pm.
A huge AČIŪ to the National MK Čiurlionis Art Museum for the invitation and generous financial support, to the Australian Lithuanian Foundation for supplementary financial support, to Irmantas for letting me take over his workshop, to Sigita for helping out with the opening performance and to my husband Jonas for valiantly assisting with the daunting task of transporting lagerphones around the world!
