If bad things come in threes then good things must come in twos. Amsterdam's latest export affirms the latter with Dutch design duo graphic designer Roger Willems and artist Mark Manders' Roma Publications, which produce autonomous publications in close collaboration with artists, designers, curators, writers and poets.

Official Festival Selections
Dragging one’s ass off the couch can be a painful necessity for cinema fans. IMAX ain’t IMAX on a 30 inch screen. Plus, at premiers you can get free cokes and your picture taken with Totty Goldsmith. Notwithstanding these intrusions, a proper tortured film-buff existence is better lived out in the lounge room.

It has been called "the most important book of photographs to come out of Australia in the past five years". Whether or not HIJACKED lives up to the hype, will be yours to judge this Thursday. As a publication and exhibition, HIJACKED is a heavy compilation of photography documenting ‘life in real time'.

Learning To Love You More
Despite her helmet hair, Miranda July has featured in more than 100,000 sexual submission fantasies (according to the ABS). So, of course, when she tells people to do stuff, they get into it in a big way. What stuff? Um, documenting their bald spots, sculpting a bust of Steve, etc.
LEARNING TO LOVE YOU MORE is a web site and series of exhibitions of work made by the general public in response to 'assignments' given by July and her friend Harrell Fletcher.
Bloodletting and Mysterious Cures
Ifyou would say you love reading about sad people not expressing theirfeelings properly, what you're really saying is that you like Canadianfiction. And one of the best recent exponents of this isdoctor-turned-author Vincent Lam, whose collection of linked shortstories, BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES, is one of the freshest pieces of writing released this year.
NY Noise
1978 New York was a very different place. Junkies, trannies, punk bands... junkie tranny punk bands.
NEW YORK NOISE showcases the whole flea-ridden scene in photographer Paula Court's crisp, cool black and white. Beyond the obvious underground luminaries (Haring, Basquiat, Cindy Sherman), there's stacks of snaps of cult faves (Suicide, Jim Jarmusch, Ann Magnuson, ESG) and a plethora of lovable old weirdos to investigate (Yoshiko Chuma and the School of Hard Knocks).
Arcade Publications
Edward Cole, creator of COLE'S FUNNY PICTURE BOOK, was not a conventional Victorian fellow. An entrepreneur and idealist, he took it upon himself to spread love and rhetoric to all who might pass through the doors of his Melbourne Book Arcade. In line with its proprietor’s progressive attitude to living, Cole’s was several floors worth of whimsy and readables, complemented by an in-house brass band, a hall of mirrors, a tea salon and reading chairs that would put the modern-day book barn to
shame.
