The Australian Embassy in Paris is proud to present From here to Eternity , an exhibition of
tapestries which spans twenty years of creation from a world centre of one of western civilisation's
oldest and richest art forms. One of only a small number of similar workshops in the world, the
Workshop boasts an international reputation for the freshness, vitality and technical excellence of
its hand-woven tapestries. An intrinsic part of this success is their skilled weavers, who are also
trained artists with a unique sensitivity to the visual aspects of the medium. Coupled with their
technical expertise, this enables them to form a special collaboration with the artists whose designs
they translate, and with the architects responsible for the environments in which tapestries are
viewed. Almost 400 tapestries, designed by leading contemporary artists, hang in a range of
significant public buildings and private collections around the world. Every year over 10 million
people in Australia see a tapestry created by the Victorian Tapestry Workshop. Established in 1976,
the Victorian Tapestry Workshop is supported by the Government of Victoria through
L’Ambassade d’Australie à Paris a l’honneur de présenter From here to Eternity, une exposition de
tapisseries qui retrace vingt années de création d’un centre international perpétuant l’une des plus
anciennes et des plus riches formes d’expression artistique de la civilisation occidentale. Le monde
ne compte que quelques ateliers de ce genre, et le Victorian Tapestry Workshop est
internationalement reconnu pour la fraîcheur, la vitalité et l’excellence technique de ses œuvres
tissées à la main. Sa réussite est intrinsèquement liée au talent de ses tisserands, également
artistes de formation dont la sensibilité à l’aspect visuel du support est sans pareil. L’association de
cette sensibilité et de leur savoir-faire technique leur permet de nouer une relation de collaboration
particulière avec les artistes dont ils traduisent les œuvres, et avec les architectes responsables des
espaces dans lesquels les tapisseries sont exposées. Quelque 400 tapisseries, conçues par de
grands artistes contemporains, sont suspendues dans plusieurs édifices publics et présentées au
sein de nombreuses collections privées aux quatre coins du globe. Chaque année, en Australie, plus
de 10 millions de personnes voient une tapisserie créée par le Victorian Tapestry Workshop. Fondée
en 1976, cette institution est soutenue par le gouvernement du Victoria par l’intermédiaire de son
organisme de promotion des arts, Arts Victoria.

Australian Tour 2010 BRI SBANE - Judith Wright Center - Sept 3
Singer-songwriter Belle du Berry and multi-instrumentalist David Lewis have
been appreciated by an ever-growing audience over the past decade as
members of the group Paris Combo. While taking holiday from the combo,
they have now embarked on a new project, continuing their fertile performing
and songwriting collaboration. Their first album, "Quizz" was released in
September 2009 and followed by a 30-date tour of France.
On stage they are joined by Denis Hénault-Parizel (bass and guitar) and Rémy
Kaprielan (drums)

A MUSI CAL TRI ANGLE: AUSTRALI A, FRANCE & VI ETNAM
The public lecture-recital Vietnamese Music of the Highlands for Guitar Duotone and Overtone
Singing will be held at the Centre Mandapa 6 rue Wurtz in Paris on Sunday October 3rd. This event
is collaboration between an Australian musician Le-Tuyen Nguyen (the inventor of the staccatoharmonic duotone technique) and Tran Quang Hai (a French scholar and expert on overtone
singing) both of whom have their roots in Vietnamese culture. Program includes a lecture, the first
of its kind worldwide, giving a comparative study between the ancient overtone singing technique
and a recent Australian innovation, the staccato-harmonic duotone guitar technique. This will be
followed by a recital featuring Australian/ French solo and ensemble compositions written for guitar
and voice. This collaborative research includes methods of sound production, tone colours, notation,
sound palettes and software sound analysis. These new compositions weave harmonies between a
traditional Eastern musical language and contemporary Western musical styles and create a modern
poetic image of the mystical ambience of the Vietnamese highlands.For more information and

Reading by Richard Flanagan
Monday 13 September 7pm
Shakespeare and Company
37 rue de la Bucherie
75005 Paris
Australian author Richard Flanagan, one of the most original and impressive novelists working in the
English language today will be reading from Wanting, a novel of magnificent power and reach. ‘One
of the best novels of this year… Flanagan’s cast of virtuoso characters…are vivid, memorable
beings, burnt into the retina of the imagination long after the novel comes to an end… An
irresistibly good story.’ The Times
Richard Flanagan was born in Tasmania in 1961. Regarded internationally as one of Australia's preeminent novelists, his award winning novels Death of a River Guide, The Sound of One Hand
Clapping, Gould’s Book of Fish and The Unknown Terrorist have been published to popular success
and critical acclaim in twenty-seven countries. He directed a feature film of The Sound of One Hand
Clapping and co-wrote the screenplay of Baz Luhrmann’s film, Australia. Tonight he will be
introduced and in discussion with Steven Gale.
On Wanting:
1841. I n the remote penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land, a barefoot aboriginal girl wearing a red silk
dress sits for her portrait. She is Mathinna, the adopted daughter of the island’s governor, Sir John
Franklin, and his wife, Lady Jane, and the subject of a grand experiment in civilization – one that
will determine whether science, Christianity and reason can be imposed in place of savagery,
impulse and desire.
A quarter of a century passes. Somewhere in the Arctic, Sir John Franklin has disappeared, along
with his crew and two ships, on an expedition to find the fabled Northwest Passage. England is
horrified as reports of cannibalism filter back from search parties, no one more so than the most
celebrated novelist of the day, Charles Dickens, for whom Franklin’s story becomes a means to
plumb the frozen depths of his soul.
As several lives become conjoined by unexpected events and tragedies, Wanting transforms into a
remarkable meditation on the ways in which desire – and its denial – shape our lives.
“I n dense, poetic prose, Flanagan characterises something that exists across human experience,
above and beyond historical particulars and cultural differences: "The way we are denied love. And
the way we suddenly discover it being offered us, in all its pain and infinite heartbreak.” Giles
Foden, The Guardian

une de ces œuvres que l'on referme avec un pincement au cœur.”– Le Monde

WARRI ORS FOR PEACE
The Political Condition of the Aboriginal People as View ed
from Palm I sland
BY BARBARA GLOWCZEWSKI AND LEX WOTTON
© I ndigène éditions, January 2008
French anthropologist, Barbara Glowczewski, who has been working
with Aboriginal people since 1979 was Adjunct Professor at James
Cook University during the Palm I sland riot which was sparked by the findings of the autopsy of
Cameron Doomadgee, who died in custody in November 2004. She followed at the Townsville
tribunal the inquest into the death and the committal hearing of the defendants charged for the
riot. A book was published in French (Guerriers pour la Paix, I ndigène Editions, 2008) with a
contribution by Lex Wotton who was sentenced as the ring leader of the riot in November 2009
and is to be released from jail on the 18th of July 2010.

Après le Koala Tueur, voici La vengeance du wombat de Kenneth Cook
Une rencontre dans un bar, quelques bières fraîches, un rien de
faiblesse, et voilà Kenneth Cook, écrivain d'âge mûr "en léger
surpoids", embarqué dans d'incroyables aventures où la faune
humaine et animale du bush joue le premier rôle. Kangourou
suicidaire, koalas explosifs, wombats vindicatifs, reptiles dérangés,
chercheurs d'opales amateurs de paris stupides, Aborigènes
roublards : ils finissent toujours par contrarier son penchant naturel
pour le confort. Heureusement, car Cook en tire une brassée
d'histoires plus vraies que nature, racontées avec un art consommé
du gag, dans toute leur improbable hilarité.

The Australian Embassy in Paris is proud to present From here to Eternity , an exhibition of
tapestries which spans twenty years of creation from a world centre of one of western civilisation's
oldest and richest art forms. One of only a small number of similar workshops in the world, the
Workshop boasts an international reputation for the freshness, vitality and technical excellence of
its hand-woven tapestries. An intrinsic part of this success is their skilled weavers, who are also
trained artists with a unique sensitivity to the visual aspects of the medium. Coupled with their
technical expertise, this enables them to form a special collaboration with the artists whose designs
they translate, and with the architects responsible for the environments in which tapestries are
viewed. Almost 400 tapestries, designed by leading contemporary artists, hang in a range of
significant public buildings and private collections around the world. Every year over 10 million
people in Australia see a tapestry created by the Victorian Tapestry Workshop. Established in 1976,
the Victorian Tapestry Workshop is supported by the Government of Victoria through
L’Ambassade d’Australie à Paris a l’honneur de présenter From here to Eternity, une exposition de
tapisseries qui retrace vingt années de création d’un centre international perpétuant l’une des plus
anciennes et des plus riches formes d’expression artistique de la civilisation occidentale. Le monde
ne compte que quelques ateliers de ce genre, et le Victorian Tapestry Workshop est
internationalement reconnu pour la fraîcheur, la vitalité et l’excellence technique de ses œuvres
tissées à la main. Sa réussite est intrinsèquement liée au talent de ses tisserands, également
artistes de formation dont la sensibilité à l’aspect visuel du support est sans pareil. L’association de
cette sensibilité et de leur savoir-faire technique leur permet de nouer une relation de collaboration
particulière avec les artistes dont ils traduisent les œuvres, et avec les architectes responsables des
espaces dans lesquels les tapisseries sont exposées. Quelque 400 tapisseries, conçues par de
grands artistes contemporains, sont suspendues dans plusieurs édifices publics et présentées au
sein de nombreuses collections privées aux quatre coins du globe. Chaque année, en Australie, plus
de 10 millions de personnes voient une tapisserie créée par le Victorian Tapestry Workshop. Fondée
en 1976, cette institution est soutenue par le gouvernement du Victoria par l’intermédiaire de son
organisme de promotion des arts, Arts Victoria.

A MUSI CAL TRI ANGLE: AUSTRALI A, FRANCE & VI ETNAM
The public lecture-recital Vietnamese Music of the Highlands for Guitar Duotone and Overtone
Singing will be held at the Centre Mandapa 6 rue Wurtz in Paris on Sunday October 3rd. This event
is collaboration between an Australian musician Le-Tuyen Nguyen (the inventor of the staccatoharmonic duotone technique) and Tran Quang Hai (a French scholar and expert on overtone
singing) both of whom have their roots in Vietnamese culture. Program includes a lecture, the first
of its kind worldwide, giving a comparative study between the ancient overtone singing technique
and a recent Australian innovation, the staccato-harmonic duotone guitar technique. This will be
followed by a recital featuring Australian/ French solo and ensemble compositions written for guitar
and voice. This collaborative research includes methods of sound production, tone colours, notation,
sound palettes and software sound analysis. These new compositions weave harmonies between a
traditional Eastern musical language and contemporary Western musical styles and create a modern
poetic image of the mystical ambience of the Vietnamese highlands.For more information and
reservations: http:/ / www.mca.org.au/ bulletins/ events_item.php?824 Or contact Tran Quang Hai in

Reading by Richard Flanagan
Monday 13 September 7pm
Shakespeare and Company
37 rue de la Bucherie
75005 Paris
Australian author Richard Flanagan, one of the most original and impressive novelists working in the
English language today will be reading from Wanting, a novel of magnificent power and reach. ‘One
of the best novels of this year… Flanagan’s cast of virtuoso characters…are vivid, memorable
beings, burnt into the retina of the imagination long after the novel comes to an end… An
irresistibly good story.’ The Times
Richard Flanagan was born in Tasmania in 1961. Regarded internationally as one of Australia's preeminent novelists, his award winning novels Death of a River Guide, The Sound of One Hand
Clapping, Gould’s Book of Fish and The Unknown Terrorist have been published to popular success
and critical acclaim in twenty-seven countries. He directed a feature film of The Sound of One Hand
Clapping and co-wrote the screenplay of Baz Luhrmann’s film, Australia. Tonight he will be
introduced and in discussion with Steven Gale.
On Wanting:
1841. I n the remote penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land, a barefoot aboriginal girl wearing a red silk
dress sits for her portrait. She is Mathinna, the adopted daughter of the island’s governor, Sir John
Franklin, and his wife, Lady Jane, and the subject of a grand experiment in civilization – one that
will determine whether science, Christianity and reason can be imposed in place of savagery,
impulse and desire.
A quarter of a century passes. Somewhere in the Arctic, Sir John Franklin has disappeared, along
with his crew and two ships, on an expedition to find the fabled Northwest Passage. England is
horrified as reports of cannibalism filter back from search parties, no one more so than the most
celebrated novelist of the day, Charles Dickens, for whom Franklin’s story becomes a means to
plumb the frozen depths of his soul.
As several lives become conjoined by unexpected events and tragedies, Wanting transforms into a
remarkable meditation on the ways in which desire – and its denial – shape our lives.
“I n dense, poetic prose, Flanagan characterises something that exists across human experience,
above and beyond historical particulars and cultural differences: "The way we are denied love. And
the way we suddenly discover it being offered us, in all its pain and infinite heartbreak.” Giles
Foden, The Guardian

une de ces œuvres que l'on referme avec un pincement au cœur.”– Le Monde

WARRI ORS FOR PEACE
The Political Condition of the Aboriginal People as View ed
from Palm I sland
BY BARBARA GLOWCZEWSKI AND LEX WOTTON
© I ndigène éditions, January 2008
French anthropologist, Barbara Glowczewski, who has been working
with Aboriginal people since 1979 was Adjunct Professor at James
Cook University during the Palm I sland riot which was sparked by the findings of the autopsy of
Cameron Doomadgee, who died in custody in November 2004. She followed at the Townsville
tribunal the inquest into the death and the committal hearing of the defendants charged for the
riot. A book was published in French (Guerriers pour la Paix, I ndigène Editions, 2008) with a
contribution by Lex Wotton who was sentenced as the ring leader of the riot in November 2009
and is to be released from jail on the 18th of July 2010.

Après le Koala Tueur, voici La vengeance du wombat de Kenneth Cook
Une rencontre dans un bar, quelques bières fraîches, un rien de
faiblesse, et voilà Kenneth Cook, écrivain d'âge mûr "en léger
surpoids", embarqué dans d'incroyables aventures où la faune
humaine et animale du bush joue le premier rôle. Kangourou
suicidaire, koalas explosifs, wombats vindicatifs, reptiles dérangés,
chercheurs d'opales amateurs de paris stupides, Aborigènes
roublards : ils finissent toujours par contrarier son penchant naturel
pour le confort. Heureusement, car Cook en tire une brassée
d'histoires plus vraies que nature, racontées avec un art consommé
du gag, dans toute leur improbable hilarité.
