  • WE LIKE...

  • There’s nothing quite like freedom. It’s good to be allowed to do whatever you want to do. Do you want to be a crazy person? Then you CAN! Do you want to have twelve cats? YOU CAN! Do you want to enter our country from overseas? You – well, OK, maybe we’ll have to talk about that. But The Point is, freedom is something we all support, generally, especially in the arts, where although we are all free and understand the philosophical implications of freedom, we are confined by pesky matters like cash. And laziness. And paralyzing addictions to television series and large books by David Foster Wallace.

    ANYWAY. Open Fields is a freedom-supportin’ no-boundaries all-encompassing academic-artistic-creative free-for-all love-in that is going to GO OFF around April this year, and are looking for anyone doing anything (art, writing, music, technology, dance, installations, performance, entrepreneurs, fringe-artists, magicians, academics, researchers, students, practitioners: basically everyone aside from animals and people who work in offices) to present ideas in any form (exhibition, installation, paper, presentation, performance, recital, round-table discussion, seminar, interpretative dance, semaphore, etc) in order for said ideas to organically develop, inspire and interconnect.

    Basically, they’re looking for people to be involved, and you can apply online here by the 31st of Jan. It’s all going to be held at UTS and Serial Space. Don’t you even start to tell me it wouldn’t apply to you.
