Te Ve Tabu is the second national annual exhibition of artists' work in 'post object' art mediums to be organised by CREATIVE SPACE as part of the Studio Access Project. Represented is a current, and partially retrospective, collection of work in the mediums of Super 8 film, video, audio, audio-visual, and video-performance.
Although most of these media are familiar to everyone in their commercial, industrial, and domestic applications, familiarity has in most cases bred complacency, rather than contempt, for the power these methods of communication have over our lives.
Video and Super 8 film alike are still relatively new mediums in their 'artistic' adaptations - neither is yet twenty years old in this sense - however like woodblock, copperplate engraving, lithographic and screen printing before them, these image-making technologies originally conceived for "mass" consumption are finding interesting 'tangential' applications in the hands of creative individuals or small like-minded groups.
Television has always been, despite its bland portrayal by the networks, a basically private medium anyway. All of us tend to 'watch' it amongst the informal domestic arrangements, both of paraphernalia and personalities, which we gather around ourselves: to many who have not before seen TV presented 'publicly' in a formal manner this exhibition will offer some surprises - not so much because a lot of the material is 'personal', both in its subject matter and means of production, as because it will be presented in a way with which we are familiar only in the cinema.
It has always surprised me that individual attempts to come to terms with mediums like video, outside the incongruous guidelines offered by commercial television, have been subjected to so much cynicism and contempt. It is interesting that we feel far more cheated of our time and apparent freedom when our fear of, or irritation with 'boredom' is fostered by an individual rather than by a large corporation: in our homes we will watch a 'boring' program simply for the sake of watching anything. The arena of video art doesn't seem to proffer so much complacency and in many ways it is fortunate that its audience doesn't have so much bogus patience.
Well, we are still learning, even if it is at the expense of our own very relative freedom. This technology, like any other, should never be treated as an end in itself.
It is appropriate that METRO TELEVISION should host this second new media exhibition. Video art in particular suffers from a lack of public exposure in Australia and METRO's commitment to the future establishment of Public Television in Sydney makes it the logical venue to familiarise both the public and the future programmers of PTV with this little known but pertinent area of video.
Not all the work presented in Te Ve Tabu is oriented to television. This exhibition is also attempting to fill a gap in the inconsistent presentation of mediums other than video art, hopefully on an annual basis. Nor is television the only area of presentation that artists working even in video and film are seeking out. However it is timely for some of these artists and students to be looking in the direction of broadcast. Public Television, it is to be hoped, will offer us some more interesting models than those which are so relentlessly recreated by our established television networks.
Te Ve Tabu will in fact be the first in a series of monthly events planned by METRO TELEVISION to explore in detail many of the recent developments in video. These will include an examination of video documentary, new technological aspects of image making systems, the future of public television, video as an alternative medium to film, electronic music on tape, rock video, as well as other aspects of video art not explored in the present project. A major video exposition in all these areas is planned toward the end of this series.
These events will draw emphasis to the applications of electromedia in art and society, both from the viewpoint of technician and producer, as well as in the interests of the community use and enjoyment of these technologies. METRO will be inviting many people working in video throughout Australia, as well as some prominent artists and technological experts from overseas, to participate in this program.
METRO's activities in these areas signify an increasing level of interest in the creative potential of a medium which to date we have used only as a household object in front of which we sit and do nothing.
Although this is likely to be the last Studio Access Project to be organised by Creative Space, Te Ve Tabu has hopefully established a precedent for an annual exhibition in these new media. It may be timely in this respect, that the new Sydney visual arts centre is about to be established.

"There seems to be two popularly accepted ways of approaching our work as visual artists. Firstly, working in isolation from society in general, concentrating our energies on juggling devices we find or create, ultimately providing decoration, entertainment, boredom, pseudo profundity or interest for those who see it. Secondly, to fully embrace our environment and thus to take responsibility for the things that occur within it, at the risk of becoming mired in energy consuming struggles which may or may not ultimately have any effect on that environment. Can these working methods be combined, or are they mutually exclusive?"

DAVID HORSWELL, "Space people on the Voyage to the Loon. Bicycles and Black Umbrellas", col.u-matic video, 8mins, 1980.
"A fantastic masque of reality reminding us of the constantly shifting borderline between the hilarious and the serious. Our frame of reference is changed with one flicker after another: a child's bicycle becomes a bunch of swaying black flowers.”
JOHN GILLIES, "Haymarket", col.u-matic video, 14mins, 1981.
Abstracted anthromorphic shapes derived from real human figures recreate the scene from which this tape is drawn: the fruit and vegetable markets in Sydney's Haymarket.
DIANNE E. LLOYD, "Jewellry", col.u-matic video, 7mins, 1980.
"When a barrier is placed between two communicating people psychological or social transference cannot be made. Jewellry helps us assume things about the wearer, but when the 'jewellry' becomes a mask through which only the wearer can see we are lost to find the cues for communication".
MARGARET WARWICK, (England), "Still Lives (a drama in three acts)", col.u-matic video, 17mins, 1981.
"This work ... brings into question a series of problems concerning the notions of dominant theatrical and television drama ... The 'stage' is a small scale facsimile using dolls' house furniture ... Although the props change position or are removed for each act the stage remains devoid of any human form. The main 'character' is never seen but referred to as "she" be a female narrator ... The work is also concerned with female sexuality in that the two characters in the piece are women, the 'stage setting' is a domestic interior, and in the metaphorical sense that women are supposedly shrouded in mystery, trapped by history, over dramatic, romantic, 'seen but not heard', etc.
PETER SAVAGE, (England), “It's Like Reading A Word", b/w, umatic video, 9mins, 1979.
"A series of images referring to the way we receive 'information' and oblique references to the means we employ to organise such information, appear on the screen. A monologue which constantly reassesses what it is sayiang, goes off at tangents, returns to a beginning, attempts to come to terms with, to understand, something. The sound and image gradually become structurally related and coherent.
EVA SCHRAMM / GARY WILLIS "Holy Word" (with Robert Randall & Frank Bendinelli), col.u-matic video, 5mins 1981.
"The Celluloid Self", live performance/film, 20mins, 1981.

(M) 7.00pm – 7.40pm
HUGH DRAKE, "Rameshvaram", col.u-matic video, 20mins, 1981.
"This tape utilises the video technique of 'feedback' to create a continual flow of images to infinity, as if vanishing and appearing from a vast corridor of light. It's mood is slow and meditative, exploring the mesmeric or hypnotic effect of the video image. Its inspiration comes from the vast temple of Rameshvaram in South India, with its corridors of immense dimension and perspectives of diminishing light".
"Artificial Organs", b/w, u-matic video, 6mins, 1980. Produced by students & staff, Melbourne State College.
Synthesiser band documentation.
STEPHEN JONES, "TV Buddha (For Nam June Paik)", col.u-matic video, 12mins, 1978.
(B) 7.00pm - 7.20pm
LIONEL DOOLAN, "Refraction", 4-8 monitor video installation, 20mins, 1982.
“I see art activity as a synthesis of emotional expression and abstraction/formalism/symbolism: a way of distancing (but also of giving definition to) emotion. This symbolic emotion can be a response to everyday events, but in my work it is usually more related to past unconscious trauma which, if expressed directly, could be too painful to endure. Trauma such as lack of primary love, unnormal birth experience, social repression, etc. can be relieved and eventually resolved. Once this is done one is more able to relate emotionally to the present. Thus, my art activity is more a type of therapeutic activity, differing from actual therapy (in which I am also involved) only in that my pieces are in some way formalised events, and as such may offer something (insight, or whatever) to other people."
(M) 7.40pm - 8.20pm
PETER SAVAGE, (England) "The Line of Least Resistance", col.u-matic video, 20mins, 1982.
“So that we can allow it to refer to many things, let us say we are trying to get from A to B. We want to retain a sense of A when we get to B. We want to be aware of the context in which we notice A and B. We are so close that the edges are difficult to fix, but we try. The effort is unbearable. And, all the time we are moved along-knocking against the sides."
DAVID CHESWORTH "Abstraction on the Move" col.u-matic video, 20mins, 1980
(B) 7.30pm - 7.50pm
PETER CALLAS / DIANNE E. LLOYD, "A Story Story", 3 monitor video installation, 20mins, 1981. “Television has largely been responsible for the demise of story telling in our culture, and in Australia especially oral ancestral histories are put aside in favour of the 'new' life this country offers to foreigners who come from cultures which are milleniums old. This tape attempts to invert these processes: Video as a system of memory retrieval – perhaps soon there will be nothing to remember."
(M) 8.30pm - 10.00pm
WARREN BURT / CHRIS MANN, "Syntactics", compositional linguistics. Language & music using: voice & vocal synthesis; analog & digital synthesisers: tape and cassette recorders; vocoders; & transducers. 90mins, 1982.

GRAEME HARE, "Personal Performances", col.u-matic, 13mins, 1981.
"The work examines eccentric areas of personality, for example, ear wiggling, double jointedness, body manipulations, etc. of 22 people. The work refers more to documenting personality than to cultural precedents."

Self portrait based on a childhood memory.
JIM HUGHES, "Jacob's Bladder”, col.u-matic video, 7mins, 1980.

The two songs owe all to Magdalena Centura from Accumoli (but more so to her son)."

Portrait of an unambitious executive.

(M) 9.05pm - 9.38pm
BRUCE TOLLEY, A selection of "Intimacies", col.u-matic video, 15mins, 1979-1982.
“Initially this tape was a collection of performances broadly linked by the theme of close personal relationships. Additions to the series are being made as an ongoing project. My 'moving tableaux' are concerned with explorations of human interactions and of variations in the individuals’ perceptions of reality, expressed in terms of symbolic actions."
PETER SAVAGE, “It Will Not Tell It", videotape, col.u-matic, 10mins, 1979.
We examine an object. We keep an account of the events and other objects we connect with it. We piece together a situation. We look. We subject what we see to a few tests. We are about to draw
some conclusions...

"TE VE VU DU", col.u-matic video, 45seconds, 1981.
"VIDEO MASSAGE: (of course the massage dictates the medium ... HOWEVER) Today's artist must understand two crucial points about video as an art medium, 1. The total acceptance of Video/Television by the general public. 2. That contemporary massages demand contemporary mediums."

JOHN LYALL, "Rainbow Lorikeets" audio work, 5mins, 1981.
"This work is a field recording of the parrots slowed down. Some motifs were 'cut out' and assembled into the final relationships to produce four themes. These themes were multi-tracked to produce an ‘environmental’ build up to a four piece 'cannon' in which the voices are: 1. The unprocessed parrot recording; 2. 'Ring' modulated parrots; 3. Very processed and filtered parrots; and 4. Unprocessed parrots plus reverb. The piece is related to my 'feral' art works, though only in the choice of subject matter and working methods."
ROBERT IRVING, "Outside In", soundscape environmental work, 7mins, 1982.
ARIS KARTSONAS, "Cat", super 8, 3mins, 1981. This short film has a fast musical pace (music by SHAKTI) that dictates the anticipated movement of the cat. Tension and release are created through the interspersion of subliminal images which 'catapult' the cat's movements and, more importantly, add to the mystical quality of the film".
DUNCAN ANDERSON, "Vital Organs", super 8, 7mins, 1981.
STEPHEN HARROP, ARIS KARTSONAS, LUCY TORRES, STEPHEN FEARNLY, "Bird in a Cage", super 8, 5mins, 1981.

CHRIS CUMMINGS / TOM ECCLES, "Hydromancy", sound work, 7½ mins, 1981.
"We were interested in making a piece by pouring water from one container to another. When this sound was recorded at various speeds our immediate reaction was that of listening to a primeval world. We decided these sounds needed civilising and undertook a selective process based on the book of Genesis. The sounds were retaped and filtered, resulting in the finished piece we call "Hydromancy", meaning 'a prophecy through water'."
