Cal Sinadinovic is a Wollongong based artist whose drawings have featured in several Australian magazine publications, including the Red Book 2013 as part of a curated selection of Australian artists. His illustrative works have been exhibited in Wollongong and Sydney. Cal has been chosen as a finalist for the 2014 Chippendale New World Art Prize.







Reece Cleveland


Reece Cleveland is a Brisbane based artist exploring new terrain in the field of glitch art. His explorations in photography and videography began after receiving a damaged Olympus U795SW point and shoot camera. Reece describes his defective apparatus as ‘a looking glass into a world of form-loss where everything is accounted for, but nothing is the same.’







Blake Paul Kendall


Blake is a Sydney- based painter currently exhibiting at the Social Laneway, Redfern. Together with Baru Art he has recently launched a crowd funding campaign for the Penan Children's Book. The campaign  plans to raise $19, 500 to produce and deliver by hand the first educational resource on Penan language. Upo Uleu (Our Sago) is a children's book whose narrative Blake developed while working with Penan elders in Borneo last year. The book will be illustrated with prints from a series that he painted while staying with them. 





BDVZ

Based in Singapore, BDVZ uses photography, video and graphic interchange formats (gifs) to bring a hybrid-world perspective to lesser traversed spaces. These first remixes of shape, landscape, form and spaces were displayed in a solo exhibition titled #intheдуьне which took the ‘hybrid-world’ perspective to community housing blocks across inner-Sydney. 

BDVZ’s work plays with themes of hybridity, globalization, new media, social dynamics, physical and geographic borders and diasporas through contemporary media; using phone cameras, gifs, image editing, sound, video and image sharing websites to foster a new platform for self-identification.

“How people, cultures and concepts borrow and re-contextualise different aspects of cultures in their construction of self identity and spirituality, is the most interesting part of existence for me. My art comments on this and is actually my own form of this process. Everything in art to me is about direction, symmetry, intensity, kaleidoscopes, beauty in the unfamiliar, and that which encompasses the material and cultural aspects of and around physical and geographical borders.”

BDVZ is currently working on a new project KLTID (Kampong Life ‘Til I Die) which recontextualises various
urban and natural environments in South East Asia as a way to spiritually connect the cultures of the world.
