CELESTE/ old rope exhibition

 my dears
you have probably all seen this work, as it is a few years old; but in case
it give you a thrill to see my scabrous views of life and death and love in
hypertext comic form (with ‘Disco’ brand red wool ) one more time; ‘Celeste’
is on display in a window on the corner of Blyth st and Nicholson in
cosmopolitan Brunswick. at the end of a tram line, next to a Tattoo parlour
and Pizza shop, near a creek, and a alternative radio station: in the
Eisenberg Gallery, and Melbourne Museum of Experimental Art.

it will be there for a week.
the space is too small to have a launch.
which may be just as well.

Cinema Nova – ‘Comics to Animation’ film night


I don’t get out as much as is recommended by The Inner Funkster’s Inner Urban Guide so it was with great joy that on Wednesday July 13 at Jimmy Watson’s Wine Bar on Lygon Street that I quaffed a glass of excellent South Australian red wine going by the name of ‘Black Chook’ and then ambled across that memory-soaked avenue arm-in-arm with buddies Jai and Tolley, all of us rugged up in extremis against the 6.30pm whining cold, and ascended the stair to the purple brocade and ormolu gleaming that is Cinema Nova, an establishment at which one of us had worked for many years, another was yet in the midst of working for many years and the third had not worked at but seen many a film in partnership with either of the other of us, over many years.

We were there for the ‘Comics to Animation‘ film night, and what a cavalcade of eye joy greeted us as the films splashed, one upon the other, onto the screen: a hallucinogenic dream-vision from Clint Cure; various wigged-out and very funny pieces from Ben Hutchings (‘Successo, The Successful Barbarian’? Genius.); a bold and hilarious ficto-history of South Melbourne from Adam Ford; Kirrily Schell‘s wry and poetic ‘Toots’; the all-too-short 3D animation treatment of Dillon Naylor’s little girl vampire ‘Batrisha‘; hard devil-rockin’-music clips from Glenn Smith and Ross Tesoriero, all culminating in David Blumenstein‘s local classic, ‘Herman, The Legal Labrador‘. And this isn’t even an exhaustive list. There was, let me tell you, an Imperial Tonne (or is that ‘ton’?) of the Right Stuff at the Nova in Cinema Number Three that night, pictures dancing before us, giving us Delight.

Kudos also is due to Monsieur Blumenstein for his ‘curating’, or ‘sequencing’, or ‘getting the films into an order of some sort’, because it was put together like a good set of music – following rhythms, breaking them up, giving you a bit of a surprise from one piece to the next. The ebb and flow of it all was like a piece of meta-animation in its own right. It’s a damn fine showcase of what’s goin’ down on our streets, comics-into-animation-wise, and I hope it has a life beyond this screening.

Take it to the world, Dave!

‘Small World, Big Town’

 
For what it’s worth…

As someone’s already mentioned, an exhibition currently on at the City Gallery in Wgtn includes some of my artwork (from Hicksville). The
show’s called ‘Small World, Big Town’ and is an eclectic survey of contemporary NZ art from the collection of Te Papa (even though it’s
showing at the City Gallery).

This Sunday evening there’ll be an item about the show on Frontseat (TV One, some time after 10pm), which will include an interview with me (in which I say a load of meaningless crap, as I always do in interviews).

And in October (15th-17th) I’ll be in Wgtn to give some talks and workshops at the City Gallery.

Ahem. That’s all.
