Bond Song
Genevieve Piko | The Chaotic Order | Alister Karl | Max Piantoni | Monique Barnett | Ive Sorocuk | The Dark Carnival Dolls and Jenna Corcoran | Jamie Rawls Opening 27th September 6 to 9pm Running 28th September to 6th October 2013 Every Bond movie has a Bond song..... Sometimes we wonder if the movie or the song came first. From Russia with Love, Live and Let Die, most of the songs sharing a title with the movie, but not always. What about all those songs out there that should be Bond Songs, maybe its their lyrics the sound or just the title. Artists are invited to find their own Bond Song and in turn create work about their imagined Bond film. Playing with all those Bond conventions and formula that have been around for half a century. Taking this as a starting point make work about their fiction, seeping not just into Bond canon, but into the Hollywood myth as well. Brunswick Arts Space

Beats, water and the Swans
or the Black Swan Theory 8th November to January 2012 Tammy Delaney | Megan Hunter | Michael Delaney | June Bentley | Paul Sunderland | Louise Hunter | Jonny Radveski | Vinisha Mulani | Esther Tuddenham | Pamela Debrincat | Alister Karl | Alisha O’Neill In the last few year's we have been all over the west, climbing the highest hills and fording the widest rivers. We have seen huge silos and giant ships, tiny flowers and those star fish that some days seem to fill the Maribyrnong river. One gray day the sight of a sun flower blowing in the wind held us all transfixed for entire moments. There was an afternoon in a random suburban street that we discovered a crude swing set hung from a tree on the foot path (like something out of some old movie) we all had to have a go. Amongst all the things we have seen and photographed the black swan with the tag around its neck by the little jetty in Newport; that is the first thing that jumps to peoples minds. The black swan that was once a thing that only existed in myths and legends before Europeans found their way to Australia. The Black Swan Theory speaks of an event that is rare to the point that it is beyond the ability to perceive and understand it. The theory coming from the fact that until Australia was colonized people in the old world were convinced that swans were white and could only be white. Beats, water and the swans brings together a group of Black Swans as they range forth, cameras in hands capturing the world with their surprising insight. The Black Swan Theory

Neon Devices in Synth Pop
Solo show by Pamela Debrincat 2nd June to 30th July 2011 Debrincat takes the 80s into a fairytale world as she explores childhood memory and the aesthetic of the times. Dredging the depths of her mind (and the internet), she has brewed a world out of plastic, projection, light and sound that drags twenty years ago into the now. Debrincat has refined and reduced this information down to its essence, resulting in an installation that recreates memory. Neon Devices in Synthpop: How to prepare

Cutting Edge Gadgets from the 1980’s
An exhibition celebrating the obsolete 8th to the 28th April 2011 Upstairs at the Napier, Melbourne Curated by Alister Karl Exhibiting Artists Ness Flett . Leon Van De Graff . Alister Karl . Sherry Paddon . Yvette King Often dubbed the ‘Decade of Greed’, the 1980s was a time of unprecedented economic growth in the West. Consumers found themselves with more disposable income than ever before, and expanding multi-national corporations were keen to cash in. The Walkman, camcorders, calculator watches, portable keyboards, speakerphones, arcade games, cassette decks, VHS, Rubik’s Cubes, microwaves, ghetto blasters and the Nintendo – the 80s seemed to exploded with gadgets that were gobbled up by the public faster than they could say ‘Gordon Gecko’. Cutting Edge Gadgets From The 1980s takes us back to a lost point in time. It places us in an environment where objects seem inseparably linked with memories. The artists in Cutting Edge Gadgets From The 1980s play with this sense of memory, excitement and loss, and in doing so create a space of eerie, lost familiarity. They evoke a sense of nostalgia not just for objects, but for an era or time in our lives that itself became lost or replaced. Cutting Edge Gadgets Of The 1980s offers a chance to look back on a unique decade of growth and consumerism, and celebrate the relics that remain from a time that has itself become obsolete. It brings us closer to understanding why an object might become outdated or replaced, but also reminds us that memory is stronger than any passing fad. Text by Adelle Smith |
