Incubate Issue 4, 2009/ 2010
The 3D issue!
2009 was a big year for COFA,
full of triumph and loss. In June, after almost a decade of strategic
thinking and campaigning, the University was awarded a $48 million to
redevelop the COFA campus. Receiving the funding was the highlight of the year. The low of the year was the tragic loss of Nick Waterlow, one of the key campaigners for the campus
redevelopment. Nick was the director of the Ivan Dougherty Gallery from
1991 - 2009, and together with the Dean of the College, Ian Howard, he
was a central figure in re-envisioning what the College could be in
both educational and cultural capacities. His untimely death in
November was deeply felt by all COFA staff and the Sydney arts
community.
This issue of Incubate is a special 3D
issue; the cover and a selection of images are to be viewed with a pair
of 3D glasses, available with a hard copy of the magazine.
The use of 3D in the magazine is a way to
force viewers to refocus their attention and alter their perception, to
reference the infinite possibilities that await students and the public
in the new COFA teaching and exhibiting spaces.
The main article in this issue is looking back at the Ivan
Dougherty Gallery, and Nick Waterlow’s top 10 exhibitions from the IDG
back catalogue. Other articles include a quick view at
NSW artist run initiatives; the bababa artist collective (what you say?
read the article to find out); and the development of an archive of
experimental video art.
INCUBATE can be picked up at various points at the Paddington
campus, Object Gallery, Art Gallery of New South Wales or simply
