Fugue Book Launch Televised now on Youtube

The first book talk and launch of Australian Fugue: The Antipode Room at the exhibition I co-curated Intertwined at the ANU was televised, and the television shows are now up on YouTube, with an extract of my talk and launch, links are here. 
This is the start of a series of novels which will become progressively more 'realistic' yet fictionalised as the main character discovers the hidden history that she then reinvents in a historical story. I talked a bit about this and how the writing is linked to my art work, in the launch talk (click the images to play) : Australian Fugue: The Antipode Room book talk and launch short
