Last One Standing, Benedict dos Remedios
With my protective spikes and resourceful storage abilities, I can live and propogate in the most barren conditions. I'm a bit defensive and might prick you from time to time but I'm exceptionally stable and refreshingly low maintenance. You may also like my phallic appeal. Pleased to meet you, I am the humble cactus.
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.
John Aslanidis
"Don't you wonder sometimes, bout sound and vision?"
So went Bowie's withdrawn lyrics.
Melbourne-based artist John Aslanidis would answer Dave in the affirmative.
Preferring to call himself a sound artist rather than a painter, Aslanidis' work explores geometric abstraction and synaesthesia.
Great Undead
Can you hear it? It’s the call of the wild. It’s the smell of sweat oozing out of your pores and dripping liquid gold into the sand under your feet. It’s the taste of the pagan’s blood filling your mouth and trickling silently down your chin. It’s the lazuline hue of the dark, velvety sky behind the furious blaze of a myriad stars.
Fragile Beauty
Chris Chun is so FRANKIE. The delicately wilting flower petals. The slight, mercurial goldfish. The gently idling butterflies. They all combine to form an achingly pretty aesthetic that’s as soft as floral sheets washed a thousand times; as fresh as your first swim in summer.
Chris fuses the simple beauty of everyday with Chinese symbols of love (butterflies), purity (lotus) and good fortune (goldfish).
DEL KATHRYN BARTON
I'm not a gusher. I'm not an air kisser. I'm not a quaffer of white wine or a scenester. In fact, I pretty much lack all the distinguishing characteristics you'd associate with someone who writes about art. What I do have are two blinking eyes and a desperate love for true creativity and I reckon that's mos def all you need to get into all the cool arty farty stuff going down in our pretty city.
