Alanna Lorenzon (the Melbourne-based archivist and indexer of strange and fantastical imagery) asked visual artists to conceptualise and create a sound work for installation or performance. Rather than a curatorial directive or set of rules for the exhibition, the artists interpreted and worked from the ponderous title (both thrilling and dark) delving into new creative territories.
The first two issues of NZ based street culture magazine The New Order were wildly ambitious affairs, squeezing every hip name imaginable in between the covers from Ian Astbury to VisVim. The results were overwhelming and a little boring, akin to skim-reading a google search for 'cool'.
The third issue is different.
Irving Baby is a bit like the friend you made on the first day of high school. At the time, she was the coolest darn kid on the block and you were quite chuffed that she had chosen you, yes YOU, to be BFFs with.
But over the years other just as cool kids came along, she got a boyfriend, and you starting listening to far too much Joy Division.
You might already know that Sarah Larnach does incredible things with water colours. She's created album artwork for Ladyhawke, illustrations for Amanda Maxwell's book, Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These, worked at Michel Gondry's Partizan Studio and exhibited in galleries here and overseas.
If you think you are going to understand Here and There magazine in the next 180-200 words, think again. Here and There appears rather than gets published. It is like a dropped diary on the street, highly personal in a way that deserves to be respected, but you don't have to return it to the rightful owner.
Kawahara's artist statement on the Max Dawn blog includes the words ‘unconscious' and ‘visualising'. Now excuse me if I'm grossly oversimplifying someone's life work for the sake of a fashionable drug reference. But you know what those words mean? PSYCHEDELICA. Trippy shit.
Sure enough Kawahara's work consists of luridly bright colours, flower power influences and patterns.
A million miles away from the over done gloss of Jamie, Nigella and co., Cookbook is that rare breed: the kind of recipe book you won't feel compelled to hide behind the rice cooker when guests come over.
Divided into three courses with accompanying colour code, typeface and linocut artwork by Ned Culic, Jon Campbell and Tin & Ed, Cookbook showcases twenty-four favourite home-style recipes from local food luminaries such as Neil Perry of Rockpool.
