Director’s Foreword 2012 2012 was the year of the Dragon and lived up to the Chinese ascribed characteristics – wild, energetic and unpredictable throughout. 2012 was a transformative year for MAAP as an organisation - a year of action, hard work, and new vision. It was also a noteworthy milestone as MAAP clocked into the 15th year of operation.

From January 2012 MAAP was actively looking for new premises suitable to hold our office, Media Bank store and with additional funds from VACS, a gallery space. After a concerted effort, 111 Constance Street Fortitude Valley was secured and we took possession of the premises on 15 April. Moving into our new accommodation, gallery renovations, refining storage for Media Bank equipment, and cleaning out the adjoining space took a solid three months.

Since the first exhibition opening in August 2012, MAAP SPACE has dramatically transformed the organisation in the areas of: audience development; recognition of programming, profile, reputation and branding; capacity to respond to short-term opportunities; development of long-term program initiatives; reciprocal program exchange; and elevating the visibility, profile and efficiency of Media Bank. The additional funding has also strengthened and stabilised our administrative and operational infrastructure.

Opening with such a highly respected and internationally well-known artist as Zhang Peili set the bench mark high for the ambitions of the gallery exhibition program. I was also very honoured to have Zhang Peili in Brisbane to install his work and participate in our public programs. The following exhibitions sustained the high quality in MAAP SPACE with work by Patty Chang & David Kelley; The Bangkok Experimental Film Festival; Superflex; and finally Light from Light – REPRISE and launch of the Light from Light publication. It was a strong set of exhibition outcomes for the MAAP SPACE inaugural year.

As Director, I experienced a year that generated a cascade of unique situations where, even by arts industry standards, very little could be described as routine. New projects needed new approaches and with this in mind, complementary curatorial research was undertaken in Korea and China and combined with new and existing partnerships. Additionally, the development of MAAP SPACE was an invigorating challenge both physically – with building renovations; and mentally – with exhibition and public programs. In all aspects, this was achieved with strong support and professional efforts of MAAP’s key staff, Madeleine King and Paul Bai who both made significant contributions.

My sincere thanks also goes to the MAAP Board who offered a strong combination of experience and knowledge that helped skilfully navigate through this year of change.

And finally, thanks and recognition goes out to the many individuals and institutions that have made great contributions toward MAAP as an organisation in 2012 - I urge you to turn through the pages of this Annual Report where you will find mention of the creative efforts of artists, writers, contractors, volunteers, supporters, partners, and sponsors – all extremely well appreciated and recognised in this report.

2012 is a year to remember!

Executive Summary 2012 was a transformative year for MAAP. The organisation undertook a relocation, the launch of a new gallery space and program stream, a new website, a substantial publication, and the development of a major international touring exhibition. Light from Light, MAAP’s 2010-2012 touring exhibition completed its two-year showing at the State Library of Queensland (having also completed an 18-month tour of China). The MAAP Media Bank went into its sixth year of service and tipped over the $1,000,000 mark in its contributions to the Queensland creative community through the provision of audio-visual equipment to artists free-of-charge.

The delivery of these impressive activities betrays the fact that MAAP had a slow and difficult start to the year. Shortly before Christmas 2011, the sale of ‘Collins Place’ saw MAAP’s tenancy at South Bank draw to an end – the timing of this necessitating the relocation of the MAAP office and Media Bank storeroom into a short-term storage space. By April 2012, MAAP successfully located an appropriate space to accommodate the MAAP office, the MAAP Media Bank, and a new gallery venture. In mid-April, MAAP was handed the keys to a heritage warehouse space at 111 Constance Street, Fortitude Valley in Brisbane. Media Bank was promptly reopened in its suitable new storeroom, and MAAP commenced renovations to create a new gallery space for media art.

In August 2012, MAAP SPACE was officially launched with a program of exhibitions, publications and public programs. This new program has already had a transformative effect on the organisation, leading to a greatly enhanced public profile, and opening up a number of opportunities for collaboration and exchange with new and extant partners in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. MAAP is continuing to pursue curatorial projects outside of this gallery program, and in 2012 commenced the development of touring exhibition ‘Land-Sky-Sea – Video Space’ in partnership with artists, curators and institutions in China and South Korea.

The Light from Light publication, developed since 2010, was officially launched in December at MAAP SPACE in concert with the exhibition Light from Light – REPRISE. Both the exhibition and publication documented the ‘Light from Light’ exhibition tour across 5 major venues in Australia and China. It was an appropriate way to reflect on and share the achievements of MAAP’s 2012 program, and mark the end of the two-year Light from Light project.

In 2012, the organisation changed its branding to become MAAP - Media Art Asia Pacific, to better reflect our activities. The legal entity remains as MAAP - Multimedia Art Asia Pacific.

1. MAAP CORE BUSINESS 2012 was a year of change for MAAP. A great shift in operations occurred as MAAP relocated to commence its new ongoing exhibition space and programs. 2012 marked a 15-year milestone for both MAAP as an organisation, and its Director Kim Machan, who was a founding member of MAAP in 1997. Research and Program Development Manager Madeleine King continued her role for a fourth year part-time. Contractors Patrick King and Paul Bai joined the team during the year to contribute web development and graphic design respectively. Paul Bai also assisted with Chinese translation during the visit of Chinese artist Zhang Peili.

Day-to-day MAAP operations were significantly interrupted in the period between January and April 2012, whilst MAAP awaited its move into a new premises. During this time, Media Bank was closed while equipment was placed in storage and staff worked via the internet from various locations. The move to new premises at 111 Constance Street, Fortitude Valley in April saw normal activities such as Media Bank swiftly resume, and the launch of a major new programming venture from its new gallery venue, MAAP SPACE. Renovations to transform the former warehouse-cum-office space into a new gallery space commenced in mid May. Major work was centred around alterations to the layout of the gallery walls; walls were demolished, re-finished and built anew to meet the gallery specifications. The gallery space was completed in late July, and launched at the beginning of August (see section 2B. MAAP SPACE).

Financial and Accounting System

MAAP’s part-time bookkeeper, Yvonne Rojas handed over to Jeanette Saez, also from All Figured Out Bookkeeping Ltd, and continued to keep the MYOB accounting system up to date. Accounts are managed with Brian Tucker Accounting. Budgets and financial forecasting are overseen and reported to the board by MAAP Director Kim Machan and MAAP treasurer, David Allen. MAAP operates quarterly GST reporting.

Governance

Over 2012, the MAAP board were kept in close contact with programme developments, staffing arrangements, budgets and other pressing issues via regular meetings and email ‘flying minutes’.

In the year there were 4 meetings that met or exceeded quorum (4 members). Board member Jeff Sams, based in Mackay, has attended each meeting via SKYPE technology. Sams also visited MAAP over November and December 2012 to undertake preliminary research on the MAAP organisation as part of a developing research project. There were 2 ‘Flying Minutes’ seeking the Board’s approval on specific issues. The Board’s ongoing evaluation of MAAP operations through ‘monitor-reviewreport’ strategy and ‘appreciative inquiry’ applied at Board meetings, ensures improved business operations.

In 2012, the organisation changed its branding to become MAAP - Media Art Asia Pacific, to better reflect our activities. The legal entity remains as MAAP - Multimedia Art Asia Pacific.

2. MAAP CURATORIAL PROGRAMS, EVENTS & PROJECTS 2a. Exhibition Project: Land-Sky-Sea – Video Space MAAP’s major touring exhibition Land-Sky-Sea – Video Space is planned for 2013-2014. Initiated as a collaboration with the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) in 2011, the project was developed as a MAAP curatorial residency in Seoul in 2012, where the project received input from curators at SeMA. The exhibition involves new and extant video art from predominately Australian and Asian artists, that reflect on the idea and motif of the horizon. Presently, there are two exhibition venues being developed for a 2013/2014 tour: one is in the National University of Seoul Art Museum (designed by Rem Koolhaas), the other is the OCAT Art Museum, Shanghai. MAAP is also pursuing at least one venue in Australia.

The project has received funding from the Australia-Korea Foundation to develop and present the exhibition, and Presentation & Promotion funding has been acheived from the Australia Council.

Additional funding and support will be forthcoming from the host venues, and further sponsorship for the project will be sought for the presentation phase.

This project is designed to build dialogue with our Asian neighbours, and promote creative exchanges with artists and curators across the region. It aims to: - -

- -

- -

- -

create a new context for Australian artists in China and Korea make opportunities for Australian artists to travel and gain new networks in China and Korea raise the profile of contemporary Australian video and new media art refresh and revisit MAAP’s engagement and exchange with its Korean and Chinese artistic networks (initiated since 1998) strengthen MAAP’s profile in Korea and China develop new partnerships with artists, curators and cultural institutions in Korea and China create opportunities for future Korean and Chinese projects in Australia, and vice versa share contacts and exhibition opportunities with other Australian cultural organisations

2b. Exhibition Project: Light from Light

MAAP’s major touring exhibition over 2010-2012 came to its scheduled closed at the State Library of Queensland in February 2012. The exhibition, which explored ideas of light, had been displayed at the State Library of Queensland since October 2010, whilst a duplicate exhibition toured to libraries and museums in China (Shanghai Library, National Library of China, National Art Museum of China and Hangzhou Public Library). It estimated to have been seen by over 3,785,000 people in China and Australia over its 15-month tour. Such figures represent a disproportionate attendance rate to MAAP’s other programs, and as is the case with public artworks, it is very difficult to determine how many visitors came specifically to view the show, or how many actively engaged with it (and indeed, it was intended that the exhibition behave discreetly in the library environs, so that visitors may encounter it by chance). Nonetheless, high attendances were one of the strategic advantages of working with large institutions as venue partners, and MAAP was pleased not only with the large exposure this entailed, but also by the many anecdotes of casual visitors interacting with the artworks in unexpected ways.

The temporary outdoor public artwork Light from Light (a photovoltaic geodesic dome) was moved from storage at the State Library of Queensland to MAAP SPACE in December 2012. MAAP is actively looking to sell the artwork in 2013. Follow on activities from this exhibition, ‘Light from Light – REPRISE’ and the Light from Light publication, are detailed in sections 2B and 3B.

2C. MAAP SPACE

MAAP SPACE, MAAP’s gallery venue and exhibition program based in Fortitude Valley was launched in August 2012. It takes over from MAAP’s former Brisbane-based exhibitions program ‘MAAP Republic’ with a more ambitious program enabled by an autonomous exhibitions space and additional funding from the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy. MAAP SPACE is the Brisbane hub for exhibitions, artist and curatorial residencies, as well as the MAAP operations and resources centre.

The MAAP SPACE program acts as a ‘portal’ through which audiences can access the international artists and curators that we engage with through our research, networks, and international exhibition development. The program aims to cultivate local audiences and stimulate networks of artists, curators and cultural organisations in Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

From the first exhibition opening in August 2012, MAAP SPACE has dramatically transformed the organisation in the areas of: audience development; recognition of programming, profile, reputation and branding; capacity to respond to short-term opportunities; development of long-term program initiatives; reciprocal program exchange; and elevating the visibility, profile and efficiency of Media Bank. The additional funding has also strengthened and stabilised our administrative and operational infrastructure.

The 2012 MAAP SPACE program emphasised our 2011-2015 focus regions of China & Korea, consistent with the regional focus of our major touring exhibitions. Exhibition programming was developed in response to both strategic and curatorial objectives, as well as immediate opportunities presented by our exchanges with curators and artists within the region. MAAP SPACE programs are designed to feed into MAAP’s major international programs and research, thus extending both our domestic and international market reach.

The inaugural MAAP SPACE program involved 3 substantial exhibitions and 6 public programs within a four-month period. On the whole, the program was extremely well received, with audiences signalling strong support for the program and its relevance to local, national and Asia Pacific contexts of contemporary art and culture.

MAAP SPACE PROGRAM 1:

Zhang Peili at MAAP SPACE 4/8/2012-15/9/2012

The exhibition to launch the MAAP SPACE program was a carefully curated selection of video artworks by internationally respected artist and ‘father of video art’ in China, Zhang Peili. Works spanned three decades of his formidable career, and provided a glimpse into the issues, aesthetics and context of contemporary Chinese art.

A long-time collaborator with MAAP, Zhang Peili visited MAAP SPACE to oversee the install and contribute to the final selection and placement of works. His visit enabled him to provide an artist talk at the opening of the exhibiton, and launch of MAAP SPACE. Additionally, Zhang’s visit was an opportunity for professional networking, and during his stay he met with a number of Brisbanebased curators and artists, including curators from the Queensland Art Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).

The exhibition was well attended, particularly during the opening and closing events and public programs, and audience feedback suggested it was a strong program with which to launch MAAP SPACE. Email, phone and face-to-face correspondence with MAAP’s audiences and professional networks broadly indicated that the program presented was an exciting and relevant new contribution to the Australian and Asia-Pacific contemporary art context and that MAAP SPACE was a great new addition to critical art spaces in Brisbane. One visitor to the exhibition and talk was inspired to take up a volunteer position with the organisation to expand her knowledge and experience with contemporary Asian art. A number of academics and curators, both locally and nationally, recognised the importance of showing Zhang Peili’s work, viewing him as a significant figure of contemporary Chinese art. A curator of Asian art from QAGOMA noted that it was a was a ‘coup’ for Brisbane that MAAP was able to show Zhang’s early work 30 x 30 (1988), purported to be China’s first video artwork.

The exhibition was supported in-kind by MAAP’s landlord through the provision of the 220m2 adjoining warehouse space free-of-charge (he also supports the main MAAP SPACE via reduced rental charges), allowing MAAP to include a greater selection of Zhang Peili’s work.

Complementary public programs PUBLIC PROGRAM 1: Zhang Peili talk at opening event, 4/8/2012 At the opening event, Zhang Peili presented a talk in-conversation with Kim Machan, translated

by Paul Bai. He responded to each of the works and presented his insights to his artistic rationale, process and method. The talk engaged a question and answer session with particularly insightful questions and commentary from the floor, including Contemporary Asian Art curators from Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art. PUBLIC PROGRAM 2:

Zhang Peili ’30 x 30’ (1988) Screening and Talk, 4/8/2012-15/9/2012 As a special closing event, MAAP presented Zhang Peili’s ‘30 x 30’ (1988), considered to be the first video artwork produced in China. Dr. Courtney Pedersen, Lecturer in Art History/Theory Queensland University of Technology, joined Kim Machan, MAAP Director, in a talk that considered the legacy of the first Chinese video work. The talk and screening event attracted a highly engaged audience that included academics, artists, curators and China specialists.

MAAP SPACE PROGRAM 2: Patty Chang & David Kelley: Route 3 & the 6th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival 2012 12/10/2012 - 16/11/2012

For the second MAAP SPACE exhibition, MAAP showed selections of the week-long 6th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival (BEFF6), first presented in Thailand in January 2012. In a separate presentation, MAAP also exhibited Patty Chang & David Kelley’s ‘Route 3’ (2011), a 3-channel video installation, in the main gallery space. This work had been featured in the BEFF6 program in Thailand, but was not exhibited properly as a video installation in this context. MAAP had the space, equipment and expertise to present the work professionally, and it seemed fitting to present the impressive work in a manner that met the artist’s original specifications.

MAAP has a longstanding relationship with the BEFF festival, having previously collaborated with its founding member (and senior Thai curator) Gridthiya Gaweewong, and more recently, having presented the 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival in Brisbane in 2008, following a MAAPsupported mentorship program that enabled that year’s festival director David Teh to curate the program.

MAAP’s presentation of BEFF6 was quite selective, drawing from the large international program only two curated programs that reflected predominately Thai culture, artists and issues. David Teh’s program ‘Poetics of Longing’, featuring a selection of narrative-based video artworks and short films, was presented as a one hour loop on a free-standing screen in the adjoining gallery space. Mary Pansanga’s program ‘Thai Experimenta’ was presented adjacently, and provided a highly visual overview of experimental film from Thailand over the past 20 years.

The Patty Chang & David Kelley exhibition, along with the BEFF6 presentation, attracted a highly literate audience, well versed in moving image culture, including curators of Film and International Contemporary Art from QAGOMA and Acting Director, Griffith University Art Gallery, members of the film community such as the Reel Connections Film lab, and a visiting Thai filmmaker.

Despite the length of the programs (the Chang/Kelley work was 27mins and BEFF programs over an hour each), MAAP found that audiences were highly engaged, often staying for long periods of time to view works in their entirety and making return visits.

Complementary public programs PUBLIC PROGRAM 1: QCA student visit to MAAP SPACE, 22/10/2012 Over a 3 hours period, 12 Visual Arts students from the Queensland College of Art, accompanied by lecturer Dr Chris Bennie, visited the Patty Chang & David Kelley exhibition and the Bangkok Experimental Film Festival at MAAP SPACE. They were given a talk by MAAP staff about the exhibition and engaged in an in-depth analysis of the show, including discussions of theory and practice in relation to Asian and Western video and cinema culture, led by Chris Bennie. MAAP provided information about MAAP SPACE, the 2012 Annual Report MAAP - Multimedia Art Asia Pacific Inc.

MAAP organisation, MAAP Media Bank and the context of the work we do. MAAP also provided a professional development talk on the transition from university environment into the private and public art world.

The students watched 27min Patty Chang/David Kelley work in full and spent close to an hour looking at the works from BEFF 6, demonstrating a high-level of engagement in each. Students were vocal about their satisfaction with both the exhibition and MAAP’s contribution to their learning.

Chris Bennie plans to continue to conduct further tours to MAAP SPACE, aiming at creating ties between the GUAG and MAAP SPACE public programming and cross-pollinating audiences.

PUBLIC PROGRAM 2:

Artist-as-filmmaker talk & screening: Superflex / The Propeller Group, 16/11/2012 A special talk and screening event marking the closing of two exhibitions at MAAP SPACE (Patty Chang & David Kelley exhibition and BEFF6). Joel Stern from OtherFilm, a local film and moving image organisation, led an open discussion of the ‘artist-as-filmmaker’ in moving image culture in Australia and Asia. Following the talk, a screening of FADE IN: EXT. STORAGE – CU CHI – DAY (2010), a video installation by Superflex with The Propeller Group (as part of BEFF 6) was presented.

The talk engaged issues relevant to the often separately regarded spheres of contemporary film and video art, and successfully cross-pollinated audiences from both discipline areas.

MAAP found that the special one-night-only events, such as this one, are a successful strategy to reinvigorate audience attendance in long-running exhibition programs and build depth in community engagement. A significant portion of the audience for this event had already visited the Patty Chang & David Kelley and BEFF shows. Introducing a new work for one-night-only created an incentive to revisit and further engage with the exhibition. Tying together the exhibition, screening event, talk and Media Bank induction session created a highly positive energy around MAAP’s activities, and a number of audience members reported genuine excitement about the space and program.

MAAP SPACE PROGRAM 3:

Light from Light – REPRISE & Light from Light publication launch 6/12/2012 – 22/2/2012

To mark the launch of the publication Light from Light, MAAP revisited the exhibition of its focus with ‘Light from Light – REPRISE’. This new exhibition, together with the publication, documented the tour of MAAP’s major exhibition across five library and museum venues in China and Australia.

It also presented five of the artworks from the original exhibition in the new context of a gallery space.

At the opening of the exhibition, Lea Giles-Peters (State Library of Queensland, State Librarian, 2000-2011) officially launched the publication and said a few words about the development of the exhibition and MAAP’s relationship with State Library of Queensland.

International curators tour to Light from Light - REPRISE at MAAP SPACE

The exhibition was well attended with many interstate and international visitors, due to the timing of the exhibition opening with the Asia Pacific Triennial (APT) opening weekend. To accommodate this international audience, MAAP extended its opening hours to Sunday and Monday. This was a successful strategy for audience development as many of our extended professional networks visiting the APT were given the opportunity to see the exhibition and space. The opening weekend saw higher than usual visitation numbers for MAAP SPACE, including the attendance of a number of international curators, artists and critics. The representation of influential Australian and Chinese artists in the exhibition made it a highly relevant program for MAAP’s international visitors.

Complimentary public programs PUBLIC PROGRAM 1: Light from Light - REPRISE QAGOMA tour, 6/12/2012 All of MAAP exhibitions and events have been well attended by staff and curators from QAGOMA, and to further this relationship, MAAP was approached to be a tour destination as part of the international visitors program during the opening weekend of the Asia Pacific Triennial (funded

by OZCO and managed by QAGOMA). On the opening day of Light from Light – REPRISE, MAAP hosted a party of 20 that included international curators from the Asia Pacific region. This was an opportunity to extend our international network and to deepen existing relationships. Kim Machan provided an overview of the organisation and its program and each attendee received a copy of the Light from Light publication. There was an enthusiastic response from all visitors to each the exhibition, publication and MAAP SPACE. Gaining this profile at the time of the APT was positive reinforcement of MAAP’s position as a leading organisation in the region. Discussions were commenced with a view to future collaborative projects with some the attendees.

PUBLIC PROGRAM 2:

Light from Light - REPRISE OZCO tour, 7/12/2012 Coinciding with their visit to the APT, a group of Australia Council staff made a special appointment to visit MAAP SPACE. During their visit they viewed the Light from Light – REPRISE exhibition, toured the premises and spoke with Kim Machan and Madeleine King about the organisation’s recent activities, opportunities and challenges.

The group gave very positive feedback about the organisation and its achievements with MAAP SPACE and Media Bank. Feedback suggested the group were impressed at the volume and quality of MAAP’s output in relation to the small staff and limited funding. It was also an opportunity to address issues particular to MAAP’s reporting requirements for S2M funding and VACS – MAAP raised with the Australia Council the onerous reporting schedule because VACS and S2M are acquitted separately and report on both calendar and financial years.

3. MAAP RESEARCH

3a. MAAP Website www.maap.org.au The MAAP website was redeveloped between January and August 2012, prompted by a server hacking incident in late 2011 that wiped much of MAAP’s online database. MAAP used the opportunity to analyse its past web presence, and construct a new online identity that was consistent with the branding for the new MAAP SPACE program. MAAP engaged web developer Patrick King to undertake the redesign. In consultatation with MAAP, he developed an online strategy aimed at: using web infrastructure more effectively as a promotional tool; increasing online traffic and enhancing engagement with MAAP content; promoting program activity across social media; making the website easily indexed, searched, and cross-referenced; providing a better narrative of MAAP’s history and networks using features such as a visual timeline.

The new MAAP website, launched in August 2012, features improved project documentation, organisation profiling, artist and partner representation and social media integration. In the interests of online security, MAAP is now operating the website on its own server. Migrating content to the new website proved to be a substantial project, involving many hours of data entry to properly index information on MAAP’s 15-year history of projects (including information on contributing artists, curators, partners and venues, as well as galleries of images to accompany each project). This will be an ongoing process, as there are over 100 projects with over 500 artists, 150 institutions & sponsors, and 100 curators to index.

3b. Publications

Light from Light Publication The Light from Light publication, documenting MAAP’s 2010-2012 major touring exhibition held at the State Library of Queensland and libraries across China, was launched in December 2012.

The 128-page full-colour publication traces the exhibition through documentation of all artworks in-situ across the 5 venues of the tour. Capturing the exhibition themes, context and rationale, it features essays by Pauline Yao (curator M+ Museum of Visual Culture, HK) and Kim Machan (Light from Light curator), with foreword by Caroline Turner (Senior Research Fellow, ANU and co-founder of APT). The catalogue was officially launched at MAAP SPACE by Lea Giles-Peters (State Library of Queensland, State Librarian, 2000-2011) on 6th December 2012.

The publication was distributed to key members of MAAP’s network, as well as visitors to the Light from Light – REPRISE exhibition. MAAP also used online publishing, through issuu.com to enable a national and international reach. The ongoing distribution strategy includes targeted physical distribution to libraries and key cultural networks in Australia and Asia, and worldwide distribution of a digital e-book edition, available for e-readers (iPad, Kindle etc.) and online viewing through major publishing sites, as well as print-on-demand.

6 December 2012 – 22 February 2013

Zhang Peili is a senior artist who emerged in the �irst wave of Chinese contemporary art in the 1980s. His seminal video work 30 X 30 (1988) anchors his reputation as one of the most signi�icant �igures in Chinese contemporary art and is broadly accepted as being the �irst video art work produced in China.

After studying painting at Zhejiang Art Academy (now the China Art Academy), Zhang’s experimental practice quickly transgressed painting. His conceptual approach to art making led him to a variety of media and techniques including instructional text, photography, mail art, performance and sculptural installation. While his expanded practice is once again being studiously considered following his �irst major retrospective at the Minsheng Art Museum in 2011, it is his video and media work that is best known. His experiments with media-art-forms critique the hardware employed as both a physical medium and as a social construct. Zhang’s early video practice, developed independently of his contemporaries in the West, is personal in subject matter and deeply rooted in the social conditions of China.

The exhibition presents two recent works in conversation with two other signi�icant works from the early part of Zhang’s career; Uncertain Pleasure (1996) and Document on Hygiene No. 3 (1991). An ongoing project in Zhang’s practice is the deconstruction of authoritative claims, and recurrently his work has addressed the speci�ic claims of media, technology, language, politics, and medicine. His treatment of technology (speci�ically, screen media) as an illusory form is analogous to his treatment of these other authoritative forms. In Zhang’s work, however, authority is not always actively rejected – sometimes it is treated as benign, other times it is unwillingly tolerated.

This is evident in the recent works presented in this exhibition, Q & A & Q (2012) and Standard Translation (2008-2010) – the latter work originally commissioned by MAAP and presented here for the �irst time in a gallery setting.

Media Art in Asia Publication In 2012, MAAP marked 15 years since incorporation in 1997. To commemorate this milestone, MAAP has been developing a research and publication project, entitled 15 Years of Media Art in Asia, that maps the organisation’s history, context and influence on media art in the Asia Pacific region. Initially conceived as print publication, this concept shifted following research into contemporary approaches to history-making and archiving in the digital era. MAAP has since reconsidered the format as an open-ended edition, published in a series of interactive segments online that can be further added to with the input of our artists, partners, audiences and other stakeholders.

MAAP has been considering and researching approaches to archiving and collecting our history beyond the timeframe of this publication, particularly in light of recent advancements in digital-, self- and online-publishing. It is a focus area in 2013 to take the collecting and sharing of our organisation’s history to another level. MAAP is also working with lateral approaches to publishing, such as using our website to organise data and publish outcomes serially. Following considerable research into print and online publishing strategies, in 2013, MAAP is working towards making digital versions of our existing publications available for e-readers, online viewing and print-ondemand. This process will include digitising past MAAP publications that are in danger of being lost and properly archiving all past program material, including catalogues, flyers and invites, to be filed chronologically in our physical and publically-accessible online database. MAAP anticipates volunteers will assist in various stages of the project, including collating and digitising material.

MAAP SPACE Publications Initiative

MAAP SPACE has spurred its own Publications Initiative that expands our international marketing strategy for MAAP projects through print material such as brochures, catalogues and other print publications. Print documentation, in addition to our online material, is important for the shortand long-term legacy of the MAAP SPACE program, and is useful for distributing to our overseas networks to promote the work of Queensland artists. For each exhibition project at MAAP SPACE over 2012, MAAP produced a small catalogue publication on a collectable A2 poster format.

Materials are produced in a low cost print format, and are distributed electronically as downloads from the MAAP web site.

MAAP Media Bank supported 43 artist’s projects in 2012. Some of the creative projects supported included Keith Armstrong’s ‘Finitude’ at Artisan, the ‘Narrative Arc’ exhibition at Griffith University Art Gallery, David Creed and Angela Rossitto’s ‘Caravan’ project for the Brisbane Festival, Clark Beaumont’s ‘She’ll be Right exhibition at Boxcopy ARI, Megan Cope’s ‘Untitled (Toponymic Interventions)’ at Kings ARI Melbourne and public spaces in Brisbane (all pictured)

4. SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 4a. MAAP Media Bank A milestone as of 31st December 2012, MAAP Media Bank has generated over one million dollars of value in audio-visual equipment loans to artists free-of-charge. To be exact, MAAP has contributed $1,061,985 in equipment loans since the service began in 2006.

For four months of the year (between January and April 2012), the MAAP Media Bank equipment was in storage whilst MAAP sought a new home for both the service and the MAAP office. It proved to be a great challenge to find an appropriate space that could accommodate the Media Bank equipment at an affordable price. In April, MAAP moved into 111 Constance St, Fortitude Valley, and the Media Bank was unpacked into a highly appropriate space with adequate shelving and room for equipment testing and loans processing.

Over 2012 MAAP Media Bank supported 43 artists’ projects to the value of $163,222 in equivalent commercial hire rates. This figure is quite a remarkable one, given that the service saw a 10% increase in loan volume from the previous year, despite a 30% decrease in the availability of the service (due to the four months of service closure), reduced staffing and no additional funding.

In 2012, demand for the service met new heights. MAAP experienced a great influx in new Media Bank members, possibly due to MAAP’s increased public profile with the launch of MAAP SPACE. Unfortunately MAAP had neither the volume of working equipment, nor the staff hours to be able to fulfil all Media Bank requests. Despite our best efforts, MAAP was unsuccessful in achieving new funding support for the service, which would have been directed to replacing broken equipment and replenishing supplies of high-demand equipment (particular display monitors and projectors), and employing a permanent Media Bank staff member.

Accommodating new members to the service places extra demands on staff and resources, especially given that the service has no dedicated staff. In light of these challenges, MAAP worked to further formalise and streamline the membership and loans process in an attempt to efficiently induct new members. To achieve this, MAAP commenced group induction sessions to educate new members on their roles and responsibilities, and provide members with vital information on the service (see Public Program 2).

The positive effects of Media Bank’s raised profile is that, as our research indicates, the Media Bank is the most effective means to engage with a passionate creative community and audience for MAAP’s programs. The resources of Media Bank are attracting a new group of active participants to the organisation. Media Bank users are energetic advocates of the service and the MAAP organisation, and through social media, our message is being transmitted nationally and internationally through peer networks.

MAAP held a community consultation to solicit feedback on the efficacy of the service, identify the key equipment demands for artists, and to measure community need for the service (see Public Program 1). The service trialled a new on-site testing policy to enable members to check their work on Media Bank equipment at MAAP SPACE prior to borrowing. MAAP will continue to seek much needed additional funding for the service in 2013. MAAP will also prioritise fundraising and community support for the service in 2013.

Meeting with representatives from the Brisbane Artist-Run-Initiative sector

4b. MAAP Consultancy: Queensland emerging artists & Artist-RunIntiatives Community Consultation, 18/9/2012 MAAP invited key community representatives, comprised of members of a number of Brisbane Artist-Run-Initiatives (ARIs), to provide feedback and consultation on the MAAP Media Bank. 10 representatives from five different ARIs were in attendance. While the focus was the MAAP Media Bank, which plays a role in the support of this emerging art landscape, it was also an opportunity to catch up and discuss issues and opportunities for ARIs. Many at the meeting voiced the critical importance of services like the MAAP Media Bank, which provides to artists and ARIs equipment for the production and display of media-reliant artworks, free-of-charge. We heard that a number of ARIs put on yearly programs without the support of goverment funding – for them, affordable access to the equipment and space they need to share their work with audiences, peers and professional networks is vital.

Feedback from ARIs:

- it was agreed amongst participants that the most valuable thing MAAP can offer for ARIs/ emerging artists is equipment and space. There was a very positive reception to the idea of using MAAP SPACE on a temporary project basis to test equipment (especially for large-scale works that are difficult to mount in home studio environments) and document work. ARIs reported that they generally didn’t have access to space to show, document and test large scale work.

- one ARI member described the potential impact of reduced Media Bank funding as a ‘double-hit’ as, without their own funding, they entirely rely on support from Media Bank and partner venues to stage their activities publically

- ARIs suggested that a video/image editing suite (computer and appropriate software) would be a beneficial addition to the Media Bank as software was prohibitively expensive for many artists.

- ARIs reported that they were highly satisfied with the technical support offered by MAAP Media Bank, and many offered examples of positive experiences they had with MAAP staff assisting with loan queries, including install advice.

- ARIs passionately defended MAAP’s no-charge model and felt this was vitally important to the quality and vitality of the ARI/ emerging arts scene in Brisbane/Queensland.

- A representative of the Brisbane Artist Run Initiative (BARI) festival wrote: “ARI’s are life blood for the growth of the visual arts across the world. At Brisbane’s own BARI Festival [www.bari. com.au] October 5 – 12 a large percentage of ARI’s in Brisbane will demonstrate their versatility and unique contribution to Brisbane’s arts and cultural growth. New media is a significant part of ARI’s and the Festival’s visual art expression. The generosity of MAAP is a life line for both the ARIs and the Festival. They find their creative growth and cultural impact only because of MAAP’s generosity and genius. There is no way that BARI or ARIs could fund the sale or lease of this equipment if competitive market rent costs were applied to their use.”

Media Bank induction event, 16/11/2012 Due to the success of Media Bank and the influx of new members interested in joining the service, MAAP commenced the first in a series of formal induction sessions aimed at acquainting members with MAAP’s history, and engaging with the Media Bank as a community of members. The session also doubled as an opportunity to enhance audience development for MAAP SPACE programs – for this reason, MAAP decided to hold the induction immediately prior to an exhibition event in order to cross-pollinate audiences. Attendees included both invited Media Bank members (either those who were existing members or those who were seeking new membership), as well as a general audience interested in the service.

MAAP provided an overview of the Media Bank service, including its history, its relevance to MAAP as an organisation, the service’s ethos, day-to-day operations, member responsibilities and future plans. MAAP also discussed the Media Bank’s structure as a community service, and encouraged members to become more widely involved in MAAP exhibitions and activities.

Attendees asked very pertinent questions about the service and its context within new media culture, and other examples of community-led technology-sharing services. The induction service was well attended and was successful in terms of its impact on new members and their awareness of MAAP, the Media Bank, and their responsibilities. It was also beneficial for audience development for MAAP exhibitions, as all inductees stay for the talk and screening event that followed, and displayed a high level of engagement with the program.

MAAP Consultancy

MAAP regularly has face-to-face contact with emerging artists and Artist Run Initiatives (ARIs).

Much of this contact is initiated by Media Bank loans, however there are sometimes specific requests to work in a formal structured program in collaboration with these groups. In 2012 MAAP was approached by Artist Run Initiative Vegas Spray to be a 2013 mentor in a JUMP Mentorship (pending funding from the Australia Council). Their project, the Sister City Artist Residency program planned for 2013, involves cultural exchange between artists and artsworkers from Brisbane and Chongqing. MAAP has been invited to bring its experience with China to their project.

5. REPORT CONCLUSION MAAP marked its 15th year of operations with a major new program development. The launch of MAAP’s new gallery program MAAP SPACE, accompanied by a new publications initiatives and public program, for the first time anchors MAAP programs and activities to a single prominent location. MAAP has built its reputation on its vital collaborations with institutions, curators and artists, and in the past, has always created programs in partner venues. For fifteen years, this partnered approach to programming has been highly successful, linking MAAP and its collaborators with a number of prestigious and high-profile venues in Australia and the Asia Pacific, with ready-access to new audiences and markets for artists. MAAP’s own venue MAAP SPACE offers flexibility and autonomy for MAAP programs, as well as opportunities to develop and extend partner networks for offsite projects, such as developing touring exhibition ‘LandSea-Sky – Video Space’. The space also provides a fixed identity for MAAP programs, and forges stronger connections with local audiences.

The MAAP SPACE exhibitions Zhang Peili at MAAP SPACE, Patty Chang & David Kelley: Route 3, the 6th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, Light from Light – REPRISE, and the Light from Light publication launch were well received by local and visiting international audiences. The exhibition format, which includes serial online and print publication material and public programs, has proven to be successful, and will continue in a similar vein in 2013. Visitors and participants have reported that MAAP SPACE looks to be an exciting new contribution to Queensland’s art sector, and that they value having local access to the critical artworks and ideas drawn from MAAP’s robust and relevant Australian and Asia Pacific network.

MAAP SPACE has led to a raised public profile for the organisation, and has built awareness of MAAP’s 15-year history of activities, as well as its current programming. MAAP’s 2012 research output was important in demonstrating the substance of MAAP’s activities over the years. The new MAAP website has not only improved the branding of MAAP’s programs, it has also excavated MAAP’s history of artistic programming in the Asia Pacific region, via a new interactive visual timeline, and expanded collaborator profiles. The Light from Light publication raised awareness of MAAP’s substantial two-year touring exhibition in China and Australia, and reflected on the subtleties, complexities and critical context of the project. The developing Media Art in Asia Publication will give greater insight to the context and significance of MAAP’s past activities in the Asia Pacific region, and the new MAAP SPACE Publications Initiative will help build this legacy for current programming.

The MAAP Media Bank service, and MAAP consultancy to emerging artists and Artist-RunInitiatives has created tangible outcomes for the Queensland arts sector in 2012, and demonstrates MAAP’s commitment in this area. The MAAP Media Bank has contributed $1,061,985 in equipment loans since the service began in 2006, and in 2012 alone supported 43 artists’ projects to the value of $163,222. This marks an increase in loans volume from the previous year, and is an impressive contribution considering that the service was closed between January and April in 2012. MAAP’s support through Media Bank, in concert with consultancy to the emerging arts sector in Queensland, has built a strong sense of community, and one that is enhanced and extended through MAAP SPACE program.
