IMPACT 7: Intersections & Counterpoints will focus on the multiple identity of the print, exploring the cross-disciplinary nature of printmedia internationally and in the context of the Asia-Pacific region. Printmedia will be explored as a heterogeneous, diverse and all pervading aspect of contemporary culture. Often located at the intersections of disciplines and media, it is also a powerful political vehicle, generating discourse and debate by virtue of its wide dissemination and ability to offer counterpoints to the norm.
Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), hosting the conference, invites artists, curators, print studios, writers, academics, collectors, students and industry to participate. The present call concerns:
* Papers and Themed Panels
* Individual and Group Exhibitions
* Academic Poster Presentations
* Open Portfolios
* Demonstrations and Workshops
* Master Classes (to be conducted in collaboration with the Print Council of Australia throughout regional Victoria)
The conference addresses practitioners, writers, critics, artists, theorists, and others working in the broad fields of print-related research. It aims to provide a platform in which practitioners and researchers can engage in a mutually productive exchange. Media identified by the conference will include but not be limited to:
• Printmaking
• Photography
• Graphic Design
• Drawing
• The Artist’s Book
• Text
• Animation
• Film and Digital Media
• Jewellery and Metalsmith
• Glass, Ceramic and Textile

Admire the giant pile of bison skulls (circa 1870) above, then read a neat essay by Brian Yablonski called « Bisonomics » on what drove the near-extinction of the buffalo, and how Ted Turner and his bison-burger restaurants are saving them.
Congratulations to Yann Gross and our friend and contributor Matthieu Lavanchy, who won the photography prize this year.
A lot of Swiss people were at the Hyères festival this year:

Opening on Wednesday, May 19th, 7pm im Kunsthaus Langenthal, Switzerland.
Let us know how old you are, where you come from, and why you studied fashion?
I am 26 years old; I am from Leicestershire which is in the midlands in the UK. As for why I studied fashion. I guess it happened quite naturally, I have always loved Art and drawing and whilst studying on my foundation course it was suggested to me that I might try fashion design, and so I did.
As a graduate from Central St-Martins College, what plans do you have for the future?
Since my graduation my plan has always been to work at a design house and learn as much as possible. Due to the current climate this has proven difficult, however this is still my plan A! The big plan though is that I will always be able to work within the fashion industry, whether for myself or for someone else.
You play with hand prints, cartoon eyelashes and faces for your designs, where does that idea come from, what was your inspiration?
The faces come from the inspiration that I drew from the work of Jean and Francois Robert and the hands from the fantastic illustrations by Saul Steinberg. I am however always inspired by trompe l’oeil and love the 70’s editions of ZOOM magazine.
Are your creations inspired by your own style? If so, how?
I always think that my designs are more inspired by a more extreme version of myself.
After you graduation, you told Dazed & Confused you were planning to sleep… That’s not really what happened, what have you really been up to since?
Oh I did plenty of sleeping; I just managed to fit other things in in-between!
Mastering bright and bold colours in your collection, with a graphic vibe going on too, are these aspects going to feature in your next collections too, as your signature?
I think that these aspects will always be part of my work in one way or another but I would also like to make sure that my next collection offers something different alongside that.
Are you planning on creating a new collection soon?
I may be working on something or I may not!
Could you tell us which designers you admire?
Schiaparelli is my all time favourite! I also love Moschino and Maison Martin Margiela is the designer that first ignited my interest in fashion. Alongside these greats I also love Yves Saint Laurent when Yves Saint Laurent himself was at the helm as well as Coco Chanel and I always have a soft spot for Hermes.
Knowing how much the fashion world is hard and merciless, what has been the most difficult part for you?
Staying confident and believing in myself.
Never thought about studying something else than fashion?
Many things when I was younger. I wanted to be a vet and also a physiotherapist at one point, that was closely followed by Public Relations but Fashion Design has been the one for some time now!
Explain to us which kind of woman would wear your clothes?
I like to think that it appeals to all sorts of people.
Something negative to say about your collaboration with Weekday?
That you can’t buy it in the UK or Switzerland as far as I know and that you cant buy it online either!
Something positive to say about your collaboration with Weekday?
Where to begin? I think that it’s brilliant that my designs can reach a wider audience at a really good price point and also getting to work with the wonderful people at Weekday that have worked so hard to make it all happen.

Zone before the mogamma, Cairo, 2008
Les écoutis Le Caire is a dual work that comprises a sound composition by Gilles Aubry and a poetic text in French by Stéphane Montavon. Materials for both elements were collected during a six-week residency in Cairo in February/March 2007 & 2008.
The sound piece is based on the principle of ‘indirect listening’ to a busy city soundscape. It features recordings of several enclosed spaces chosen for their resonant properties and predominantly silent contexts : a bathroom, a market hall, a basilica, a courtyard, a refrigerator and a parking house. Throughout the piece the identification of the sound sources remains uncertain, as the distant hubbub of life in the streets diffuses inside the recorded spaces. Such ambiguity – further extended through the editing process – requires that the listener pay closer attention, and at the same time allows for a more intense musical experience.
The textual counterpart to the audio work is presented as a large wordmap that drifts through the various recording locations, as well as other places in Cairo. Rendering the rhythmical confrontations of diverse urban situations, the text focuses on their audiovisual discrepancies. In its fragmentary way, the poem sketches some of the city’s acoustical configurations, also taking aural snapshots of characters and scenes. These singular encounters are woven into a partial word-tapestry of gestures, images and sounds, providing a complementary glimpse into another indirect, though equally voyeuristic, form of listening to the city
