“Accidents Are Beautiful”: A New Documentary Traces the Life, Work and Legacy of the Father of Video Art

Sep 10, 2023 | broadsheet.com.au | Ricky French

Video art has changed a lot since Korean-born US artist Nam June Paik first picked up a bulky Sony Portapak in the 1960s and pioneered the genre; today our phones can take broadcast-quality images and transfer files in the blink of an eye. But there’s more to video art than the capabilities of technology. Korean American director Amanda Kim has spent the last few years putting together a documentary on Paik’s life and work.

Sep 10, 2023 | theaustralian.com.au | Ricky French

The ritzy Colorado ski town has long nurtured, and invested in, creative pursuits. 1 Aspen Art Museum Walk along East Hyman Ave, past the Victorian-era shopfronts and restaurants until you hit a 3000sq m, box-shaped edifice that resembles a giant wicker basket. This dazzling building is less than 10 years old, but the non-collecting museum it houses was founded in 1979.

The first thing you notice when arriving at Mt Hotham is that the ski resort appears to be upside down. The village sits at the top of the mountain, rather than the bottom. Even stranger, the highest ski runs are gentle green groomers. This geographic oddity means spring is a bonanza for beginners at Mt Hotham, where the snow stays sparkling deep into September.
Standout Pubs, Award-Winning Ski Lodges and Hotdogs: Adam Liaw’s Guide to Eating Your Way Around Falls Creek

Aug 7, 2023 | broadsheet.com.au | Ricky French

Ask chef Adam Liaw what he remembers about his childhood skiing at Falls Creek, and frozen cheese is one of the first things that comes to mind. “We used to get hungry after skiing, so we’d order a hotdog from this little caravan at the bottom of Scott chairlift,” he says. “It was so cold the cheese would freeze. But I loved those hotdogs; it was all part of the Falls Creek experience.” Today, the cuisine at Falls Creek is more elevated (as you’d expect at Victoria’s largest ski resort).
Skiing in Japan: where to go and stay

Aug 6, 2023 | theaustralian.com.au | Ricky French

August 7, 2023 In Australia, we’re used to waiting for the snow to arrive before we can ski. In Japan, it’s sometimes a case of waiting for it to go. Take Tateyama, between Nagano and Toyama on the main island of Honshu. The road in is cut off until mid-April, when enough snow melts to allow heavy machinery to plough a path, known as Tateyama Snow Corridor, between 20m vertical walls of snow.
