Ep 4 - Video - Tina Havelock Stevens

FROM THE VIDEO & NEW MEDIA COLLECTION

Fusing her experience as a documentary filmmaker and post-punk drummer, Tina Havelock Stevens has established herself as an exciting figure in contemporary Australian video and performance art.

Tina has travelled across the world to create video documented performances that feature her drumming within monumental and historically charged sites. Over the past decade, Tina has drummed at an abandoned industrial site in Detroit, in the vast landscapes of the West Texan desert, fully submerged in the Derwent River in Hobart and even on Newcastle's very own Breakwater — the resulting video work now within Newcastle Art Gallery's collection.
