“An annual experimental cabaret, Art Love Jam
… has featured the theme: Love is the common denominator” Art Love Jam Q
NEWS 2001
“When Brisbane performance artist Evelyn Hartogh
first conceived of Art Love Jam … a gathering of performance poets and
musicians with a focus on gay and lesbian artists she couldn’t have imagined
the shape it would take. The first Art
Love Jam in 1998 was a low key but successful event that took place at the Hub
café. Word of the gathering got around
to event co-ordinator James Lees, who picked it up and squeezed it into a
larger venue, the Zoo. The second Art
Love Jam featured physical theatre performers, acrobats and electronic artists,
as well as some very talented writers.
By lat year, the Brisbane city council had got wind of the event and
donated a government grant to Evelyn so she could pay the artists
involved. Art Love Jam 3 was a
smash. The Zoo was bursting with
performers old and new and punters paying the bills. Art Love Jam 4 is tipped to be the biggest yet and with
performers such as poet Dorje Norbu and singer Stephanie Lim, Evelyn’s concept
should happily spin further out of control.
The event will be at the Zoo, 711 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley on Friday
night” ‘Love In’

“All you need
is love … Art Love Jam is back for 2001 with its particular brand of fruity,
frivolous fun. Art Love Jam is an
annual experimental cabaret event run in conjunction with the Brisbane Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Festival.
The first Art Love Jam took place in the Hub Café and was produced by
performance artist and author, Evelyn Hartogh in 1998. Since then using the theme “Love is the
common denominator” the event has flourished under the direction of evelyn and
James lees, event co-ordinator for the 1999 Pride Festival … Art Love Jam
provides an amazing platform for LGBT artists … not an ordinary night for
performer and audience, which makes it a bright spot on the entertainment
landscape … ” ‘Love is the Answer’ BRIDGET HAYES SCENE MAGAZINE 2001

“If the annual Pride Festival needed any assurance of support
from the community and government bodies, then the grant passed on to fund this
year’s Art Love Jam is a sign they can’t ignore. Coming into it’s third year, Art Love Jam is a multimedia event
that celebrates the wide array of creative talent that sometimes lies
undetected here in Brisbane. …… Projects like Art Love Jam … provide a sense of
community to Brisbane but also ensure that public education and an open
dialogue can be maintained … ”Art Love

“After wasting half a Friday
evening at the Zoo, trying vainly to find some merit in the event, I decided
that self gratification was the uniting factor and retitled the event as Art
Love Wank. I do dislike self-serving
egotistical artistes who are too busy shoving their noses up their own asses to
notice the reeking stink of talentless crap.
The poetry was dreadful, the singing even worse … admittedly the
acrobats were interesting, as were the rollerskaters with fireworks, but maybe
that was because they didn’t open their mouths
… a disgrace …”Art Love Jam: A Review ANONYMOUS SEMPER 1999

“Love is
touted as the common denominator of all. Be they gay, stright, lesbian or
queer. Art Love Jam featuring Mark
Eades, Evelyn Hartogh, Lolli, Dallas Angguish, Darren Bourne, Vanessa Crowther
and DJ Tam, is about loving yourself, your friends and your lovers. Love they say, is stronger than hate and can

“for Art love
Jam I’m working on some electronic soundscapes with a guy called Terry and
we’re whacking together a few songs with whatever takes at a the time with
it, I did have a violinist so I might
involve her as well. Maybe some spoken
word as well. I wouldn’t go as far as
to call it performance art because I’ve never done that and I don’t understand
what it is. If I can’t define something
then I can’t be it, although Evelyn Hartogh calls me a performance artist” ‘Lollie
