SIX DEGREES<br />
(Melbourne)<br />
“Each sound in einfalt. stille. might be a collector’s item.” Los Angeles Times<br />
<strong>The</strong> meditative work by Austrian composer Klaus Lang is another BIFEM<br />
Australian premiere. With a post-Feldman sense <strong>of</strong> mood and time, Lang<br />
creates a unique sound world, at once familiar and new, trance-like, yet electric.<br />
Eloquently performed by Melbourne ensemble Six Degrees with guest flautist<br />
Melissa Doecke, einfalt.stille (simplicity.quiet.) is a spellbinding work from<br />
an important composer, whose work is mostly unheard outside Europe.<br />

NATASCHA STELLMACH<br />
(MELBOURNE/Berlin)<br />
In 2008 Natascha Stellmach installed a joint in a commercial Berlin gallery,<br />
containing the alleged ashes <strong>of</strong> Kurt Cobain. An international call was sent<br />
out – via press release – inviting six members <strong>of</strong> the public to join her in a<br />
private, undocumented ritual to explore commemoration and attachment.<br />
This ignited public and media furore and interest. Complete Burning Away<br />
investigates the emotional responses associated with idolatry and<br />
critiques the role <strong>of</strong> the artist, the media and contemporary art in<br />
society. This site-specific installation includes six <strong>of</strong> the ten works.<br />
Presented by La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre, BIFEM is proud<br />
to host the vernissage <strong>of</strong> this talented, dynamic Australian artist<br />
and her important work under our special events umbrella.<br />

TALK: HANDMADE MUSIC<br />
<strong>Bendigo</strong> Art Gallery<br />
Australian-born pianist, composer and musicologist<br />
Alistair Noble has taught at <strong>The</strong> Australian National<br />
University since 2006, where he has also served as<br />
Associate Dean <strong>of</strong> the College <strong>of</strong> Arts and Social<br />
Sciences. His primary research area is mid-20th century<br />
music, with a special focus on the work <strong>of</strong> Morton<br />
Feldman, Stefan Wolpe and Edgard Varèse. Drawing<br />
from his new book Composing Ambiguity: <strong>The</strong> Early<br />
<strong>Music</strong> <strong>of</strong> Morton Feldman, Dr Noble will discuss the<br />
remarkable consistency <strong>of</strong> Feldman’s compositional<br />
method, tracing links in compositional language from<br />
his early works in the 1950s to his late works <strong>of</strong> the<br />
1980s, including the Second String Quartet.<br />
Join artists Benjamin Kolaitis, Rod Cooper, Paul<br />
Fletcher & Dean Stanton for a fun, interactive and<br />
information-rich presentation exploring how musical<br />
instrumentation has been influenced by technological<br />
change, and what it means to re-design new forms<br />
<strong>of</strong> musical instruments in a world now bursting at the<br />
seams with technology, resource and waste. This event<br />
is presented by <strong>Bendigo</strong> Art Gallery in partnership<br />
with Experimenta Media Arts, to coincide with the<br />
exhibition Experimenta Speak to Me (7 September –<br />
13 October 2013) and appears under BIFEM’s special<br />
events umbrella. Bookings required. Call 5434 6088.<br />
