Summary Fenella Kernebone teams up with ABC TV's Art Life presenter, Andrew Frost, for a unique project which will form part of the 17th Biennale of Sydney. German artist Christian Jankowski is producing a piece of work that involves TV journalists reporting on the production of an artwork. These journalists will encounter a variety of situations and people including artists and people who work for the Biennale. They will then report to the public as though reporting live from the scene of the action. Their reports will form part of Jankowski's video work that reflects on the creation of art, journalism and the media spectacle of large cultural events such as biennales. Namila Benson attends a weekend dedicated to one of the most popular new forms of writing - the graphic novel - at Melbourne's Wheeler Centre. The graphic novel attracts more than its share of stigma and snobbery, but its audiences are evangelical, its writers inspired and its sales enviable. This story features some of the most exciting developments and proponents of the form including Shaun Tan who has won multiple awards for his picture books and illustrated fiction. My Secret Art Life about people's secret passions features Paul Starbuck, an AFL footballer turned cafe owner whose secret love is writing poetry. A recent Australia Council survey found that more Australians than ever before are identifying as 'home' poets.Closing this week's program, award-winning vocalist Jen Cloher teams up with Jordie Lane to perform in the Art Nation studio
