Episode #3: Collection

This June, James Newitt's exhibition Delay will open at Contemporary Art Tasmania for Dark Mofo 2018.  Delay, a complex installation, will revolve around a film titled I Go Further Under, which is in part inspired by the true story of Jane Cooper.

In 1971, at 17 years of age Jane Cooper arrived in Hobart from Melbourne and asked local fishermen to take her to a remote island off the southern coast of Tasmanian where she intended to live in total solitude. 

The Big Witch explores the underlying narrative of truth and fiction through the lens of Jane Cooper's story and the making of I Go Further Under.

In this episode we talk to I Go Further Under actor Emily Milledge and De Witt 7001 documentary maker, Ella Kennedy. You'll also hear snippets of Jane Cooper from De Witt 7001, and archival audio, and sound by Brendan Walls.

I Go Further Under was developed with generous support from
Contemporary Art Tasmania, GASP (Glenorchy Art And Sculpture Park) And
The University Of Tasmania. This project was assisted by The Australian Government through the Australia Council For The Arts, its arts funding and advisory body and was assisted through Arts Tasmania by The Minister For The Arts.

Delving into specific themes derived from the Contemporary Art Tasmania program, as well as current events and ideas, the podcast provides a exploration of contemporary art. From exhibitions to abstract concepts, each episode offers a thoughtful examination of artistic expression.

Produced by Pip Stafford for Contemporary Art Tasmania.
