There is a well established connection between contemporary art, art schools and music; think the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and even Sydney’s own Mental as Anything. In this panel discussion, Big Day Out organiser Ken West and musician/artists Reg Mombassa, Steve Clark and George Washingmachine chat about the inspirational links between Art and Music. Steve Clark is a musician, artist and designer. During the 80’s and 90’s Clark recorded and toured extensively with the band Died Pretty. In 2006, he graduated with a PhD in Architecture, Planning and Design. His current artistic/academic research investigates the design of sound installations as places in both physical and virtual spaces. Clark is the COFA Academic Fellow. Ex-pat Kiwi Reg Mombassa (a.k.a. Chris O’Doherty) has lived in Australia since 1969.

free-lance artist for Mambo graphics and he currently plays in the band Dog Trumpet, which he founded with his brother Peter in 1990. George Washingmachine is a musician and an artist and his artworks combine both his passions. In 2007, he recieved a commision from Swiss photographer Bernd L. Göllnitz-Bischofberger to make linocuts based on photographs of Australian musicians at The Ascona Jazz Festival. In 2008, Washingmachine completed a series on famous American jazz men for photographer Riccardo Schwamenthal. Ken West is a graduate of COFA (then Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education) and he says, “Art for me is purely about what makes me happy.” But despite his training in the visual arts, West is best known as the co-founder of The Big Day Out music festival, a 12 hour multi-stage, multi-media extravaganza.
