“Three strikes, you’re out!”  MONA FOMA has been an outstanding success. It has captured
 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.  giving our state a unique reputation around the globe. They are
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.  cutting edge, free-entry arts events. They will enliven our summer
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!

It’s a cultural transformation that I want to see continue. MONA
FOMA is not only a cultural, but an economic and tourism driver. Etc!
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
season and inspire us all.

The term was coined in 1994 by DJ Supreme to describe the

actually performs, by touching and moving the records to
manipulate sound.

 DICE
DAVID
ROLL,
WALSH PLEASE.
This 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...
