The Wizard





We went to witness a 20 minute version of The Wizard - Black Sabbath, as part of Dylan Martorell's exhibition at Gertrude. It was painful and great and earsplitting and a child even got a gruesome nosebleed.

Super








SUPER MARKET. I traded all I had, for some random stuff, most of which I am very pleased about. I'll give you a better list when I pick up my loot from the studio. In the meantime some photos from the day. A LOT of people came. There were a lot of conversations and negotiations. And a lot of awkward moments. Initially I felt like a sitting duck, and wished I had a list in front of me so I didn't have to talk so much, I'm not particularly good at it. It got easier as the day went on. There were lots of biscuits, good cheese and cups of tea, making the whole thing like a big picnic.

Heads up to Kim Brockett and Always Moving for organising a wonderful day.

We don't want your money.

Honey, we want your love. Relying upon barter (the original method of consumption) and excluding currency, SUPER MARKET is an invitation to engage directly with the process of trade and negotiation.



Featuring: Adam Cruickshank, Agents of Proximity, As You Were Saying, A Constructed World, Damp, Dell Stewart, Geoff Newton, Grant Nimmo, Greatest Hits, Hotham Street Ladies, Jessica McElhinney & Jarrod Zlatic, Kate Smith, Kay Abude, Kiah GM, Moop Jaw (Antuong Nguyen & Warran Wright), People Collective, Safari Team, Sibling and The Telepathy Project.

I'm pitching my rug on the floor of 200 Gertrude St with some bits and pieces from the studio (above) and maybe some other things I've found. Curated by Kim Brockett as part of the Always Moving program at Gertrude Contemporary Art Space. One day only. This saturday July 3 from 11 - 4pm. Come and visit. Even good banter counts as barter.

karma

I probably deserved the curse of ugly video artifacts and crappy image resolution, as I have spent the last two or three weeks animating the massacre of various cute woodland creatures.

A tongue in cheek hunting expedition through woods over-populated with a proliferation of cute critters. Even the cutest of bunnies and the doiest-eyed deer aren't safe in these here woods. It's time for a cull.

I know, I'm sorry. I occasionally felt bad about it.

Anyway, some pictures of the other works. It's worth a wander up the street if you are around at night. I loved this monkey walk (top) and Yandell Walton's leaves were quite beautiful.






As expected, Jethro got in for a bit of an inspection. I think he approved. He didn't mind that the bunnies died. He knows all about fashion vermin.

bright lights

The Gertrude Street Projection Festival opens tonight, which means there will be all sorts of pretty lights out there to brighten our cold dark nights.

look into my eyes
It also means that I have to make these damn animations I've been working on play on the screens they are to play on. I am having technology nightmares, and I swear I have converted and exported every type of .mp4 and .mov file known to man. Fingers crossed I find the one I need.

It's a collaboration with the clever Penelope Durston, and she has been stitching away making a doily wonderland for the critters to play in. If the worst comes to the worst we will lock Jethro in the box and shine lights on him. He doesn't mind, really. He loves the spotlight. It was his idea.

Find it for free on Gertrude street, 6-12pm nightly until July 10. Our work, (and probably Jethro) will be in the window of Cottage Industry, no. 61.
