Curators are lucky people. Not only do they live their lives surrounded by beautiful things and host frequent exhibition openings with free cask wine, but they also get first dibs on the artworks being displayed. Excuse me for getting all red in your inbox, but wouldn't the world be a better place if some of this vast cultural wealth could be shared with the common proletariat?
Hustle over to one of the best kept secrets on Bourke Street - a mysterious shop front bearing the initials CA.

If Crystal Castles and Randy Watson had a love child, it probably would have been bullied at school because it wasn't as cool as SPOD.

It's nice when you can take the time to appreciate the full gamut of an artist's work. Although when said artist is independent film director Gus Van Sant, it can be difficult to see beyond works like GOOD WILL HUNTING and FINDING FORRESTER. Thankfully, in preparing for this retrospective, it was decided that appreciating Van Sant for his commercial success would be like loving Johnny Depp for his role in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.
