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.

Come and have a squiz (and a chuckle) at promising new talent on show at the Roslyn Oxley where a gaggle of twelve decked in whirling dervish dresses and cone hats will perform songs, chants and mimicked actions. All of which will undoubtedly make you think of religious cults. The show also includes Andrew Liversidge's work, Clearing the Mists, an intriguing short video of himself in a boat, extracting air from the sky with a vacuum cleaner.

If your eye has ever caught a glint of sun refracting off a water glass on your desk (or you've ever read Mike Mills' essay on 'light' for Cosmic Wonder Free Press), then you'll know the enigmatic aura objects can expel.

Description:
Most of us are still in awe of pretty lights, sparks and colours. Although science and technology have evolved at an incredible pace, at the core of it sits something that still amazes us. So when people do strange things with electricity, we are intrigued. A collection of artists, musicians, engineers and programmers otherwise known as Dorkbot, have married art and science in an exhibition showcasing their creative experiments.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: Hot nerds
The first two issues of NZ based street culture magazine The New Order were wildly ambitious affairs, squeezing every hip name imaginable in between the covers from Ian Astbury to VisVim. The results were overwhelming and a little boring, akin to skim-reading a google search for 'cool'.
The third issue is different.
You might already know that Sarah Larnach does incredible things with water colours. She's created album artwork for Ladyhawke, illustrations for Amanda Maxwell's book, Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These, worked at Michel Gondry's Partizan Studio and exhibited in galleries here and overseas.
If you think you are going to understand Here and There magazine in the next 180-200 words, think again. Here and There appears rather than gets published. It is like a dropped diary on the street, highly personal in a way that deserves to be respected, but you don't have to return it to the rightful owner.
