Mycology by Lyn & Tony
Mushrooms, nudes, earth, cutlery, a stairwell, wood, time, the sublime, photography, transcendence, demise. Mycology by Lyn & Tony is a forest cult idea and artistic field study into the biological branch concerned with fungi.
Their living dioramas - spotted along a descending stairwell - will introduce The Wardian Case Gallery, a space fascinated with the strange relationships between humans and plants.
Built in Wardrobes
Michelle Hanlin may fool you with her kinder sherbet colour palette but it's important you realise she is performing a particularly good assault of the contemporary monument.
If you were to term it in music, her works (sculptural and painted still lifes, busts and figures on ornamental plinths) are much like Sonic Youth appropriating Debussy with a spoken word introduction from the local St Vinnies clerk.
One of a Kind
I assumed men like convenient, calm shopping. I asked one. He agreed. So if you generated a fit out with newsagent-style practicality and a 20th Century modern lounge room sensibility you're set, right?
Curtained by vines and suitably hidden on Darlinghurt's Darley Street, One of a Kind is just this.
Lamella Art Books
The lamella is a thin layer or membrane within an organism - in a mushroom it's the gills. At Lamella Art Books, these layers are likened to the pages of a book. And conveniently this specialist book stop has a mushroom effect of contemplation.
In 1974, Lamella was conceived by one Victoria Palmerson in Amsterdam who, while immersed in a scene of specialists and distributors of the art book and obscure title sector, recognised Sydney's need for a warm house of visual and critical edification.
MANIAMANIA
Jodorowsky's films are primal twists wrapped around colour wrapped around your eye socket. And yet every time I watch Holy Mountain I fall asleep. The layered optical overload sends me dreaming.
MANIAMANIA's design outputs are of this ilk - wild, multifaceted and phantasmagorical. Their profusion of influences and first comprehensive jewellery collection 'Real Life Awaits Us', has a resemblance to Jodorowsky: Mesoamerican iconography, alchemy, geology, shamanism, magic.

Description:
We'd tell most pop up shops to pop down, but we have a feeling we won't want this one to evaporate. Three design teams pool ideas and outputs to create a port of goodness in the league of available fashion. Jac, of former our mishmash fame, brings reliable labels like Ellery, Maise and Stolen Girlfriends Club to the rails while Sam & Henry of Handsom put the sharp back into dressing.

Tiny Stadiums Festival
Unlike that tiny tupperware on a keychain and tiny hot dog eraser you used to own, Tiny Stadiums festival is useful - and strong, like an ant.
It's useful in helping you eyeball new experiences and generate fun cells. It's strong in that it carries big ideas on its back and serves them up for a group feeding.
