'All that is banned is desired' 

Tibetan artist Tenzing Rigdol, perhaps best-known for his site-specific installation in Dharamsala, Our Land, Our People, where he arranged the transportation of 20,000 kg of soil from Tibet to India which caused controversy and praise in equal measure, was one of the speakers in a world conference that addressed artist freedom of expression. Over two days, artists, journalists, activists, scholars, curators and others responded to censorship of the arts around the world, investigating why, where and how artistic expressions is condemned, banned and persecuted. Rigdol's forthcoming exhibition of new works, Darkness into Beauty, will open at Rossi & Rossi on 6 February 2013.

Speakers: 
Tenzing Rigdol, Visual Artist and Poet (Tibet) 
Tenzin Gönpo, Musician (Tibet/France) 

Moderator:  
Frances Harrison, Writer, Journalist and Broadcaster (UK)

In the last half-decade, New Zealand artist Shane Cotton has created a series of adventurous and exhilarating 'skyscapes' – full of soaring birds, ragged skywriting and plunging cliffs. Opening to the public tomorrow The Hanging Sky is a major exhibition of some of Cotton's most haunting and ambitious paintings along with a spectacular new body of work, showcasing Cotton's faith in painting as a space of possibility and provocation – a place of leaps, freefalls and charged collisions between images.

Venue: Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia

Coinciding with this summer’s London Olympics, Victory! examines the various concepts which frame and determine the idea of winning. Bringing together an impressive selection of artworks from both the classical and contemporary worlds the show will demonstrate, how the concept of victory is both greater and more subtle than the idea of simply coming first. Included in the selection are especially commissioned works by five Tibetan artists as well as artists throughout the wider Asian world. This will be an ambitious show, exploring certain common truths that break down boundaries, cultures and histories.
