Yes, juggling! Ever since the little Count has arrived on the scene, the theme to my life is juggling. Sometimes I hum the classic circus tune in my head as I juggle priorities and actions in my head! At first it was...
"Right - he's asleep for I don't know how long, so should I eat, sleep or nap?"
Now it's settled down a bit more it's more a case of...
"He'll be asleep for 45 minutes tops, so can I eat breakfast, have a shower and make an artwork in 45 minutes?"
The artwork in question is a collaborative piece I've been working on with the super-dynamo Miz S. The co-curator and founder of Expanded Architecture - the exhibition I've been banging on about for a while now...
We've been generating bit of press in the lead up to Expanded Architecture 2011. We've been featured in Vogue Living, Belle and this great article below in Artshub (which I've copied in full).

Marcia Jane's Energy Field
The Sydney Architecture festival will transform CarriageWorks into
a giant canvas of moving imagery for one night only, with the help of
artists, filmmakers and architects.
The Expanded Architecture exhibition aims to explore the
intersection between avant-garde film, art and architecture, including
12 collaborative teams and solo artists from these fields. Participants
have created an original moving image work to be projected onto the
floors, walls and ceilings
Co-curator of Expanded Architecture Sarah Breen Lovett said,
“Expanded Architecture explores the intersection of art and
architecture, which is one of the key themes of the 2011 Sydney
Architecture Festival.”
“We invited collaborative proposals from local artists, architects
and filmmakers for moving image projections and film installations that
responded to the foyer space of CarriageWorks or its immediate urban
environment,” she explained.
Seven collaborative teams will have their works projected onto the
walls, including documentary film footage of a rave party; bending
railway tracks from the floor up the walls; and projected animation
focusing on the experience of children.
It also involves the works of five individual artists including
Energy Field by artist Marcia Jane, a bright circle of light pulsating
out of a black space to fill the surrounding area with a shimmering
pattern of light; interactive artist Bert Bongers with Facets of
CarriageWorks, an interactive video installation on the floor of
CarriageWorks featuring pre-recorded footage of the precinct’s
architectural structure.
Expanded Architecture is part of the official program of the 2011
Sydney Architecture Festival and will be presented at CarriageWorks from
7pm until 10pmon Wednesday 26th October 2011.
The Sydney Architecture festival is a 10 day celebration of
architecture beginning October 20. As Australia’s only Architecture
Festival, it aims to stimulate debate and offer fresh perspectives about
what constitutes good architecture and design and how to create a
sustainable, healthy and culturally rich built environment.
