the fourth instalment of this triennial exhibition marks 10 years of 'the other APT' and showcases alterNATIVE Australian-based Asia Pacific and Indigenous Arts Communities presented by artist curator Jenny Fraser. Screen makers, artists and performers from Queensland showed screen art alongside other interdisciplinary creatives from around the country and guests from across the Pacific Ocean, representing artforms such as animation, performance art, documentary, drama, dance and digital storytelling. Many of the artists in the other APT number 4 have been featured in the previous triennial and other exhibitions and we see the progression of their work and ideas over that 10 years.

theres a news story here

- SOLID SCREEN Festival, Innot Hot Springs 20 July, 2014. http://solidscreen.com.au

there is a news article about SOLID here

- SOLID RETREAT, Far North Queensland, early July 19-22, 2014. http://solidscreen.blogspot.com.au

'Solid Ideas' was an invitational yarning circle for Indigenous practitioners in a residential retreat environment and 'Solid Screen' is an International Indigenous Festival of the screen, open to the public. 'Solid Screen' will include a range of work from artists participating in the forum event that reflects upon the discussions and dialogue that 'Solid Ideas' will interrogate. The screening, like the forum, responds to important transformations that have reconfigured opportunities for experimental arts, remix and media practice, internationally, in recent times.

Within the programs streams of activity, we aim to deliver Indigenous specific screen components to allow opportunities for Indigenous screen artists and artsworkers to develop professionally, develop greater understanding of new media and inter-disciplinary practices, and gain critical feedback on personal projects.

The Far North of Australia has a great depth of Indigenous arts practice, with a prolific visual arts industry, and we wish to compliment this strength and provide opportunities and experiences for Indigenous practitioners to engage with other mediums for expression, and explore screen history in Television and Filmmaking. There are a also number of number of Indigenous artists already working in performance, installation, video and photography mediums.

Public discussion about Indigenous film-making and the arts (by Indigenous peoples) is rare in Queensland and in wider-Australia, dialogue and writing about/for Indigenous Experimental and Interdisciplinary Media Arts is urgently overdue, desperately needs to occur and be encouraged.

At issue is the translation to canvas, tape, celluloid and pixels to create a specifically Indigenous cultural and social philosophy in their respective art forms, the history and future of Indigenous art practice in Australia. A lot of people are doing really interesting projects around the country, and we thought it would be good to try and tie some of them back together with a series of workshops, discussions, panels, gigs and screenings.

Through this process a wide variety of issues at the forefront of both the political and conceptual agendas of these inter-disciplinary artists arose.
