Gary Baseman: Smudging the Boundaries
Friday, September 24th, 9:00 am - 10:30 am (Arts Court Theatre)
"When Bosch does that, it's art. When you do that, it's a flower sticking out of a man's ass ..."
Smudging the boundaries between art and commerce award-winning artist Gary Baseman 
will lecture on how artists can manoeuvre into any medium, as long as they maintain the integrity 
of the aesthetic and meaning of their art, whether film, television, print, gallery shows, advertising 
and consumer products. Using examples from his solo painting exhibitions and his Television show,
Teacher's Pet, Baseman will also discuss the differences between working alone and collaborating 
with a group, and the challenges of how to keep oneself inspired versus inspiring one's crew. 
Inner Worlds - Outer Worlds: Ellen Besen on Miyazaki's Spirited Away
Sunday, September 26, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm (Arts Court Theatre)
No one builds alternative universes quite as wonderfully as Miyazaki and no Miyazaki universe 
is quite as elegant as the one he creates for Spirited Away. Join Ellen Besen in an exploration 
of this master filmmaker's finest work.
