SmartArts - 14 November 2019 - a podcast by RRR - Triple R

Richard starts the show with the Drawn Out comics segment with Bernard Caleo. The discussion has a focus on new works by Australian artists. They discuss Deep Breaths by Chris Gooch, Bad Gateway by Simon Hanselmann, The Chant of the Big Black Birds by Simon McKeown, and The Adventures of Anders by Gregory Mackay.

Next up Richard talks to Anni Davey, who's the Artistic Director of The Flying Fruit Fly Circus, about the upcoming Borderville Circus Festival. The Flying Fruit Fly Circus has been an integral part of the Albury Wodonga community teaching generations of kids circus. This event will celebrate that history and bring successive generations of graduates and volunteers together.

Finally Richard talks to Carolyn Fraser who is the Lead Curator of the State Library of Victoria's new gallery space and the exhibition Velvet, Iron and Ashes. The exhibition is about local history and the title refers to three artefacts - Ned Kelly's armour, the famous cricket ashes, and a dress created for the pagent of nations event held at Melbourne's centenary. Carolyn draws fascinating links between these objects and others in the exhibition.
