10x10
Of all the furtive acts I regularly indulge in, scanning bookshelves in people's homes when they're out of the room has got to be one of the most rewarding. Even a cursory glance over the spines of someone's literature collection can give us very important details about what sort of company we're amongst and how long we should stay amongst it.
The Game of Places, Hosang Park
Hosang Park's strange aerial images (like this one) depict fabricated city spaces that are utterly lifeless. His use of a bird's-eye view distorts things by taking away perspective and depth; making the controlled spaces even more impersonal.
Park is one of five young Korean photographers whose work is included in THE GAME OF PLACES, currently on at UTS Gallery.
The Kingpins Window Project
We don't usually blow our own trumpet, but the excitement is building for the next Incu Window Project, so here comes the big up...
The Kingpins all-girl collective blend drag, costume and gender mish mash to create wild live performances and installations. Spanning a decade, their dazzling career includes projects at major institutions such as the Musée D'art Moderne, Paris, MCA and the Liverpool Biennale, so we're rather chuffed to have the opportunity to collaborate.
From Bustles to Bridezilla
Because we all need more conjugality in our lives, 40 bridal gowns are currently on display in the NIDA foyer, replete with veils, millinery and bridal accessories.
Arranged chronologically by decade from 1880 to 1980, FROM BUSTLES TO BRIDEZILLA will appeal to anyone interested in the general history of dress, and the evolution of nuptial fashion.
Neverness, Part 1
I trust you are familiar with NowNow, TwoThousand's sophisticated, worldly cousin? You may have spotted him at a Right Angle family get together, propped against a window sill sipping at a snifter of port, calmly snapping off the odd shot on his Contax while TwoThousand gets wasted on fruit punch and plays charades with the kids.
Fassbinder Exhibition and Film Series
Alongside pretzels, Bauhaus, some of the world's best death metal and Claudia Schiffer, Rainer Werner Fassbinder's films are amongst Germany's top exports.
In a career that lasted less than 15 years, the radical perfectionist created 35 feature-length films, three short films, two television series, 24 stage plays and four radio plays; and did 36 acting roles in his own and other's films.
Studio 20/17
Amidst the concrete corridors and lucid glass laneways of the ‘2 Dank Street' institution, many a stimulating thing may be found. Here, is a newly-opened, suitably-named homage to Waterloo's postcode, Studio 20/17. The hidden cache, merging gallery with workshop, houses contemporary objects alongside obscure and ornate forms of jewellery.
