"Thinking with Hands - Linda Tegg: A Work in Progress" (Melbourne School of Geography)

Quite enjoyable series of short talks by artist Linda Tegg (who has just completed a year as the 'artist in residence' at the School of Geography at Melbourne Uni, in association with the Potter) and various others from the School and the Potter responding to her work. I didn't engage that much with the art (evening seminar format) but liked "Punchbowl", a 2 minute looping video of some men fishing while a nearly invisible 'absent' figure displaces space around them, including because of Tegg's comment that after a while the rocks began to look like a stage, the ocean like a film set.
