Life was a little bit different before cute Japanese girls invented amazing photo booths, or before you could trick your mum into getting the biggest school photo pack so you could trade portrait shots with your BFF's. Let us enlighten you. See, 200 years ago, a French man invented Carte de Visite.

Marley Dawson and Christopher Hanrahan, a pair of Sydney-based artists/petrol-heads, have been known to shift their art practice into unfamiliar territory - such as the last demolition derbies at Parramatta City Raceway. But for their new installation/performance work, they've shifted an unfamiliar territory into a contemporary arts venue.

Underbelly is definitely a new experience for the Sydney art scene. Exhibitions are usually set up in secret, during daylight hours, and then a night is picked when the public can rock up. Beer is consumed, people socialise and bitch about who looks more fashionable, and nothing is bought. With Underbelly though, the experience is much more interactive for the artist and the audience.

Checking out art doesn't have to be one of those high-brow, look-but-don't-touch experiences reserved for gentlemen with monocles and ladies with plums in their mouths. Experimenta Playground is the antithesis to this. It provides an accessible environment where you are encouraged to immerse yourself in an exhibition of interactive media artworks, video installations, short films and extreme art on screen from over 30 Australian and international artists.

Black Watch
Any play which opens a national parliament must be worth its weight in reputation, and that is what BLACK WATCH did recently when it was chosen to open Scottish parliament. It's hard to imagine a play kicking off Canberra, but the fierce nationalist pride that the newly formed National Theatre of Scotland seems to be reflected in this its most successful touring theatre piece.
