Mofocus

If you're planning out your festival season and you don't include the Museum Of Old And New Art's Mofo, you're making a big mistake.

What better excuse for a trip to Hobart than five days (18 - 22 Jan) of over 200 artists - from Azerbaijan, Canada, Korea and France, a dozen countries altogether - coming together in a mind-bending explosion of music and art, collaboration and world premieres.

In Mofo curator Brian Ritchie's own words, the festival "challenges artists to collaborate and extend their practice, by using experimental instruments and techniques, or extending their skills in multi-disciplinary ways. Artists and punters alike can interact and create within the context of several of our art, science and music installations".

Proceedings will begin with Peaches Christ Superstar, a one-woman performance of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice's iconic rock opera by irreverent Canadian superstar Peaches, and conclude with a Gatsby-esque Weekend At Walshy's at the museum.
