Imagine a world… In our sixth episode of Imagineers in Isolation, we are excited to introduce you to the wonderful Nicole Voevodin-Cash. Nicole is a contemporary Queensland artist based in the regions, who holds a Dip.Fine Arts, Grad Dip.Art Teaching, a Masters of Visual Arts. She has taught and lectured in various institutions in Queensland CQU, USC, QUT and was an Education Officer at the QAG. She is currently on the Sunshine Coast Arts Advisory, Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance Boards, Teaching Artist and Arts Curator at Montessori International College, and Director of RUN Ari. With a prolific career spanning across the globe, Nicole’s art practice encompasses land art, public art, installation, performance, film, digital technologies and sculpture. She’s undertaken residencies in Milan, Liverpool UK, Hobart Tasmania, Bundanon NSW, Albury, Thurning Villa Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park, Lorne, and Melbourne and is the recipient of various Australia Council, Arts Queensland And Regional Arts Grants over the course of her career. Core to her work is the analytical research she constantly undertakes of how we move through our landscape, shaping her work through such behaviour researching for the development of new ways to engage her audiences. She was selected for the Lorne Sculpture Biennale to exhibit her inflatable ‘Tree Museum’, whereby the tree was consumed by a white inflatable room to objectify and take it from the forest for people to get up close and personal and to really see it for the first time. In addition, Nicole also created a landscape activation public program titled ‘The Billycan’ project M.A.D.E Walking. This walking project, saw the audience carry a billycan while experiencing and looking at the Biennale over a 5km walk.  By using this kinetic energy of the audience's movement a drawing was produced via a weighted pen over paper inside the Billycan. These projects poetically spoke of the poignant landscape we live in. She is currently working on a digital billycan project version as an app on your phone to create generative art from walking. Recently started a not for profit artist run initiative called RUN. Please excuse the glitches, echos, and audio levels from recording on Zoom.

Imagine a world… In our fifth episode of Imagineers in Isolation, we are so excited to chat with the queen of music, Louise King. Hailed by The Australian as a ‘spellbinding musician who exudes a vigorous artistry’, English cellist, Louise, who belongs to the latest generation of contemporary classical musicians, who embody passion, drive and vision. Louise is a musician who is equally at home on stage, in the teaching studio, collaborating on multi–art projects, working within regional communities and advocating for music in schools and the wider community. Since moving to Australia in 2003, Louise performs with Australia’s finest musicians, ensembles and orchestras and performs regularly at Australia’s major art and music festivals and established classical concert series.  She is the Artistic Director of Cello Dreaming and on faculty for Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University.  Louise is a multi-award and competition-winning graduate of the Royal Colleges of Music in London and Manchester, and has worked extensively throughout the UK, Europe and Asia with the BBC Philharmonic, the Hallé Orchestra, and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and as a tutor for the Royal Northern College of Music. While the Imagineers Festival may have been postponed to next year by COVID-19, we at Imagineers always believe in the light at the end of the tunnel. And the silver lining has taken the form of Imagineers in Isolation. Imagineers in Isolation provide the joy, imagination, and entertainment of the festival to the people in isolation,  allowing us to indulge in our creative spirits. After all, this is the true essence of Imagineers. Please excuse the glitches, echos, and audio levels from recording on Zoom.
