    Out of Town

    So I’ve been out of town. Most of my time was spent reacquainting myself with both Melbourne and Hobart, along with seeing art galleries and a road trip across Tasmania. Melbourne was fun. I spent a lot of time at the National Gallery of Victoria, RMIT’s Art Gallery (the Elision Ensemble show was especially good)…

  • Recent News

    So for the last few weeks I have been gathering the energy and material for an art show in Hobart in last September/early October.

    Zine Round-Up Part 2

    And we’re finally back for Part Two. Pancake Batter Mike Watt is known for his grotesque characters. They remind me of old, *old* caricatures.

    Other Worlds Zine Fair

    The Other Worlds Zine Fair was on again for a third year running. It began as the protest zine fair against one of the sponsors of the MCA. And both were run on the same day in previous years. But not this time. Great for me really, because running between two concurrent fairs is exhausting.…

    YAH – Twin Pedals

    You Are Here is back again, the free arts festival is running through the week and I’m covering what I have seen so far: I managed, somehow to wing my way into Twin Pedals. It was a concept drone piece based on the race between two cyclists, Hinault and LeMond, in the Tour de France.…
