Hibberd, L. (2007) “Endless summer”, a monologue

This work explores the frontier of memory, subjectivity and
the spectacle of vision through one man’s recollection
of the past in his collection of sunglasses, documented as
photographs with a voice-over narration.
Hibberd, L. (2006) “The Perfect Future Game”,
a script for an installation at Gertrude Contemporary Art
Spaces (100%). This is a play in seven acts, written in the
form of a closet drama. The form of the text refers to Plato's
dialogs and Beckett’s Endgame (1957) in functioning
as a philosophical proposition.
Hibberd, L. (2001) “Atavis: Burning Collective Memory”,
screenplay to accompany exhibition, Burning Memory (100%).
Completed as a Master of Fine Art research project in 2001,
Burning Memory comprised an installation of paintings, documentary
video, and a paper in the form of a screenplay. The thesis
explored the transformations of human perception, vision and
memory at the advent of cinema in early 20th century, with
a focus on the Deleuzean notion of the ‘time-image’
(1989). Gerhard Richter’s Atlas and the “Baader-Meinhof”
series (October 18, 1977) were examined as repositories and
representations of collective and individual memory.

EDITORIAL EXPERIENCE
1. Founding and managing Editor, un Magazine issues #1–#7,
2004-2006.
An independent art journal, based in Melbourne and voluntarily
run by a group of artists, writers and curators. The project
was initiated as an effort to develop a critical dialogue
around local contemporary art practice in Melbourne, but reached
a wide national and international audience. As Editor, I oversaw
the management of the magazine’s content, design, distribution,
promotion, financial planning, and copy editing, as well as
contributing to many of the seven issues.
2. Co-editor (with Bullock N. curator AGNSW), “Shifting
Ground”, Photofile 76, 2005/6.
Photofile is an Australian contemporary photography magazine.
Guest editors are invited to develop a theme, design content,
select and commission authors and artists’ works, edit
and proofread content and contribute to the final design consultation
process. For this issue, Natasha Bullock and I published on
a theme of land and landscape, with a particular focus on
contemporary political photography.
3. Editor, Rapt! weblog to accompany exhibition program, Rapt!:
20 contemporary artists from Japan, 2006. An independent initiative,
aimed to share experiences of the collaborative exchange program
developed by the Japan Foundation for the year of Japan-Australia
exchange in 2006. I commissioned and edited all of the articles,
and made a number of contributions.
