Art Resides in Kandos

Auteur(s): Cementa and David Ryan
  • Résumé

  • What happens when contemporary art leaves the gallery?


    The Cementa Festival of contemporary art shows us what this looks like. Each year, up to 30 festival artists are invited to take up residency in Kandos, central western NSW, Australia to engage with the locals, Dabee Country, and the regional situation.


    In each episode, host David Ryan, Cementa’s creative producer, and Bridget Baskerville, an emerging visual artist hailing from Kandos, create space for these invisible processes to coalesce and take form through mutual recollection, reflection and conversation with residency artists and local people.


    That which is hidden behind the art, the intangible work and play between artists and the people of Kandos, is documented through discussion. Captured are stories of collaboration, intervention and a celebration of different voices across both the contemporary art and Kandos communities.


    Art Resides in Kandos, and here, there, wherever that is, with those who come and listen.


    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Meet Hannah Jenkins and Rory Green: writers who merge poetry with technology.
    May 5 2022

    During their two-week residency in June 2021, Hannah Jenkins and Rory Green developed Kandos Trace Garden, an interactive and infinitely generating digital poem. Their work alchemizes the past and present of Kandos. It speaks to where the town may be heading in the future.


    Together with local historian Colleen O’Sullivan, we discuss social engagement and ask why contemporary art is a challenge to the population of this small post-industrial town.
