“Three strikes, you’re out!”
We say this back in America. But for MOFO our third strike is “IN” – in a big way.
First, I’d like to mention, we’re opening a museum. Did someone say museum? Museum of Old and New Art. This is what we’ve been waiting for. The first two MOFOs have served as divertissements for the task of building and installing a big-ass museum. Instead of a nice little party, MOFO 2011 serves as the drum roll to Australia’s art event of the year.
This third MOFO is packed with more music, more art, more food, more drink and presumably more fun than before. I don’t believe in old-fashioned concepts such as genre and “headliners” because it’s all perception, and malleable. But for those who do, we can say that we have more credible headline acts than ever before, in more genres: classical (Philip Glass), rock (Grinderman, many others), jazz (The Necks), DJ (DJKENTARO), folk (Judy Collins) and literature (Neil Gaiman). And, of course, MONA and its art are the biggest headliners of all. We have also expanded our food and drinks selections to offer you much greater variety. MONA chefs will share all kinds of culinary secrets in their kitchen.
Other 2011 milestones... We’ve brought Asia into MOFO. We’ve got artists from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Cambodia. New venues, to ensure that no two MOFOs are the same. Enormous expansion of our network of partnerships and collaborations – locally, nationally and internationally. First inclusion of sounds from Antarctica.
Nothing else from me personally, except heartfelt thanks to the MOFO mob, and to the musos, artists and fans for making my job challenging, fun and creative. The best part about putting this festival together is the end result. Enjoy!

MONA FOMA has been an outstanding success. It has captured our hearts, engaged our minds and stimulated our senses. Not only are Tasmanians embracing this remarkable cultural event, its dazzling program of arts, music and performance is promoting our State nationally and internationally as a progressive, vibrant and culturally sophisticated destination.
MONA FOMA symbolises all of those values that make Tasmania an exceptional place to live, visit and play. It is highly innovative and has strong authentic links to all those quality things that are giving our state a unique reputation around the globe. They are a passion for the arts, an enthusiasm for good music and a love of fine fare. It brings creative people together so that they can collaborate on ground-breaking original work and encourages all of us to participate wherever and whenever we can.
Events such as MONA FOMA and the opening of the Museum of Old and New Art in 2011 are markers of a profound cultural transformation in Tasmania over the last decade as we have seen the arts grow in quantity, quality, confidence and importance. It’s a cultural transformation that I want to see continue. MONA FOMA is not only a cultural, but an economic and tourism driver. It generates economic activity, supports jobs in our creative industries, and provides a wonderful new tourism drawcard for our State.
This year will see the third MONA FOMA and the Tasmanian Government will again partner with MONA to deliver a range of cutting edge, free-entry arts events. They will enliven our summer season and inspire us all.

This year’s MOFO is the drum roll to the opening of MONA – the Museum of Old and New Art – on Jan 21.
They’ve got lots in common (well, they would). MOFO and MONA:
• Are free, mostly (MOFO) and completely (MONA)• Are weird but (almost) never wanky• Solicit your discord • Exploit your sense of fun.
Use this program as a daily planner. We’re not overloading you with info because
a) You won’t read itb) It’s all a load of rubbish anywayc) We want you to turn up and try new stuff, for free.
Ok so not all of it is free. Go to www.mofo.net.au to get your tickets for Grinderman, Philip Glass etc.
Etc.

The fact that they’re not famous is evidence of Tasmanian cultural cringe. Except not really, because they’re kind of getting famous now. So that’s good. Anyway, they describe their music as a “synth bomb; tron-pop, beat-driven glam rock”.

If volcanos could sing, then they would sound like Bae Il Dong. The Korean’s voice has such breadth that it not only fills physical space like a lava flow but seems to stretch back across time.

Simon Barker is one of Australia’s most extraordinary jazz drummers, playing with an intensity that is virtually unrivalled.

It’s weird how Iceland’s got so many good musicians. Anyway, Ólöf can sing (and play). She sounds, says Björk, “somewhere between a child and an old woman”.

BALLETLAB
DJKENTARO
Turntablism is the art of manipulating sounds and creating music using phonograph turntables and an audio mixer. The term was coined in 1994 by DJ Supreme to describe the difference between a DJ who just plays records and one who actually performs, by touching and moving the records to manipulate sound.
Blog, “Underground Hip-Hop for Dummies”
DJKENTARO is an acclaimed turntablist. His name is capitalised and spaceless on purpose.

DAVIDWALSHThis is good, I think: but maybe not useful, too clever, clever.
You think you’re a great writer. But you’ve got writer’s block. You’ve had it for a while, your whole life in fact. You’ve never written anything. But you’re a great writer.
Finally, here, now you’re lifting the pen, putting it to paper. Will the words pour out in a delicate, delightful stream, conveying the depth and beauty of all the ideas you have ever had, lovely capsules of meaning in perfect prose?
Or will they resemble the chaos of your mind, words tripping each other in a tangle of obfuscation, only misconceptions conveyed?
The writing is on the wall. I call it Mona.
I await the museum opening with interest...

Kashishi collects seeds from around the world – Brazil, Ghana, Sufi, New Zealand – to make a delicious, multicultural gumbo. This is a metaphor.
