Hobart (Tas): MONA Festival of Music and Art - 13-22 Jan 2012
One of Hobart’s most colourful and eccentric events, MONA FOMA (Museum of Old and New Art, Festival of Music and Art) returns in January 2012, and will thrill audiences with its avant-garde program of mostly free art installations and musical performances.
Brian Ritchie, MOFO’s curator, has once again gathered the noble troubadours of the weird, world famous and never- heard-before music, dance, theatre, visual art, and sound. This year’s featured performer PJ Harvey (Miss Polly Jean) will offer thought-provoking songs from her current Let England Shake album, as well pieces from previous albums.
Some MOFO favourites will be returning – like BalletLab, Gabriella Smart, IHOS, and Robin Fox, along with a bunch of MOFO newcomers who promise everything from sexy math – on a giant screen, to German gospel, nude tours of MONA, and bagpipes.
The festival will start with a huge street party in Hobart on January 13th. Entry is free.
