What do you find beautiful?

Elizabeth Woods posed this question to hundreds of Hobartians in her search for delightful people and their ideas. The product of this search was a public event where eighteen of Hobart's most beautiful thinkers competed for the title of The Most Beautiful Person of 2011. The contestants reflected, recited, sang, danced, cooked and undressed for a packed house, to convince the judges that they were the most charming, sincere, awe-inspiring and provocative on the day.

In I want to know what art is, Elizabeth Woods interviews herself about a failed art project but finds that despair takes an unexpectedly lyrical turn.

In 2009, Elizabeth Woods and Kevin Leong were invited by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux to install a series of sculptural interventions at the Château de La Motte-Tilly, a historic home in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. During the course of this project, the artists found themselves in the privileged position of being unsupervised in the château and in the close company of its keepers; from this position, the video and photographic work in this 2011 exhibition study facets of habit, habituation and inhabitation in a setting troubled with the solemn collision between fact and design.
