Visionaire in the Basement
A few months back, VISIONAIRE packaged up 50 issues and sold them for US$150,000. Unless you are some Trump-like character, there is no way you will ever afford one, let alone 50, of these ridiculously beautiful publications (which have come as light boxes, toys and vinyl sound under the watchful eye of Testino, Kawakubo and Jonze).
Monster Invasion!
This is a public service announcement for the citizens of Sydney. We wish to advise you that a collection of monsters have penetrated your society. We believe they are seeking refuge at one Ruban Rat gallery, known to authorities for harbouring such creatures, although not previously on such a grand scale.
Stitch 'n' Bitch
Got a burgeoning pile of darning to attend to? Been meaning to learn how to knit? Need to brush up your double crochet stitch? Like cake?
Head to Stitch 'n' Bitch, a craft club run by the lovely Miss Death (aka Aspasia) at Mu Meson Archives, our favourite place to watch forgotten cinematic gems.
The monthly gathering attracts anyone from 7-year-old boys to ladies in their seventies, and caters to projects as broad as knitting, needlepoint, tapestry, crochet, hand sewing, and even sculpture work.
Sando Art Mart
Booze and art share a long and unassuming history, ranging from coaster origami to the stereotypical 'struggling artist' drowning their sorrows. Many artists claim to produce their best work whilst wrapped around a bottle, so the advent of a pub as an art mart venue seems like an obvious extension of this relationship.
Club Cannibal
You might have heard of Nathan Gray; most probably not for his music. The man is an artist. He makes incredible prints, sculptures and woven paper works. He's also a dab hand at improvised sound activities - this is where Jimmy Sing's comes in. On Saturday, the smallest record store in Sydney is hosting a line up that smacks it over the big fellas.
WYD Pope Watch
How patronising is the Pope? Bouncing around in his Popemobile, waving and smiling and pandering to everyone behind three inches of bullet-proof plexiglass. Now that's faith in action! I must say though, Ratzinger certainly does rock the holy garb in style. With his flowing white wizard robe and blinged-out, over-sized cross; he looks more like the Holy Flavor Flav than the Holy Father.
Extinction Sucks
This is not so much a destination, but a place that everyone's mind should be straying at least once a day with our current position in the world. Anyone devoting their life to a cause makes an interesting subject for me personally. And Aleshia Caruso is a highly dedicated conservation solider.
EXTINCTION SUCKS is a documentary-style insight into her plight for a fair life for a lot of endangered animals.
