Summary This week on Art Nation, Fenella Kernebone looks at the multicultural art project Edge of Elsewhere exhibited at Campbelltown Art Centre. Namila Benson explores the world of Sikh music with the Dya Singh World Music Group. Daniel Marsden braves the skies and visits the remote Queensland town of Hughenden with three visual artists to discover what 'Flying Arts' is all about.Edge of ElsewhereOne of the highlights of the Sydney Festival. Three years in development, one of Edge of Elsewhere's aims is to engage those living in the western suburbs of Sydney in contemporary art projects with artists from across Asia and the Pacific. Sydney Festival Director Lindy Hume says "there are two million people living in western Sydney and this important project collaboratively examines some of the questions that shape us as individuals and communities in a rapidly changing environment". A host of artists from the western suburbs, Asia and Pacific regions will be participating including the likes of Brook Andrew and Richard Bell. The exhibition is on until March 7th at the Campbelltown Art Centre.The Dya Singh World Music GroupBased in the suburbs of Melbourne, the Dya Singh World Music Group has emerged as one of the most sought after music groups in the world. The group is made up almost entirely of family members and has a long history of this music in Sikh culture. Their sound is a combination of Sikh, Punjabi and North Indian music, and also incorporates Western musical traditions such as blues, jazz, folk and indigenous music. Flying Arts QLDFlying Arts have been operating in the remote areas of Queensland for the last 40 years, sending out much needed arts and culture to the outback regions. As well as exhibitions, they also fly visual artists, musicians, actors and writers to give workshops in places as far flung as Mt Isa, Gympie and Weipa
