  Reads, in part "In Dianne Reid's recent work Dance Interrogations (a Diptych), performed as part of the 2015 Melbourne Fringe Festival by Reid and collaborating artist Melinda Smith, spectators had no seats but rather roamed, observing two mature dancers. In this article, I explore Reid and Smith's live performance, a combination of structured movement improvisation and screendance, as a provocation of the relationship between movement and agency. I address the theatrical event through the multifaceted lens of the performers' experiences, spectators' responses and my own observations."

• "Anthony White (2021). Anthony Mannix's mixed realities. Art Monthly Australasia, (327), pp. 80-87."
  The Australian artist Anthony Mannix has produced a large body of work, mostly in the form of artist books. His art has featured in dozens of exhibitions; has been the subject of catalogues, journal articles and a PhD thesis; and has entered national and international collections. One of his most recent works, the dazzling, vibrantly decorated 2020 cover of I Am Cut Viciously, features a harrowing self-portrait of the artist. The work depicts Mannix with injuries he sustained while in 'a psychotic state' during a period in 1986 when he was homeless and living in the Royal National Park, New South Wales. As an artist with experience of complex mental health issues, or what he prefers to describe as 'mixed realities', Mannix has often been categorised as an 'outsider' artist.
