It's nice to be able to go and check out art shows again, after a good couple of months of - what have we been doing? I can't remember! West Space is always a good spot to see work that is engaging, thought-provoking and varied. This group of exhibitions seems to be no exception. Wanda Gillespie explores a trance-inducing Tana Swiwi ceremony from the lost island of Tana Swiwi, Tori Nimmervoll did a bunch of surveys on certain objects in people's homes, then made 3D graphs of them, while Shay Minster looks to have got a crazy blow up clown made, the kind that sit out the front of car yards.

If you say it really fast Paul Ikin sounds like paulikin. This could be a tiny cute Paul or a small dish like a ramikin. It's ok to think about that for a minute, but don't let it distract you from the serious stuff: Paul's in an exhibition this week with two other Melbourne artists, Sink and Mupz.

Pat O'Brien's no fool. He knows you probably don't know he's just moved his store. Yes, it seems like weeks, but the truth of it is you haven't called in since 2007! He could well have keeled over and died of shingles for all the Flamingo Breeze albums you've bought. Meantime though, Pat's been building an empire of hard-to-find books and music, getting investors on board and notifying the authorities in preparation for the re-launch on Queens Parade tonight.

Finding Space
Sure, the Midsumma festival gets rid of everyone who comes to Melbourne in Grand Prix season to straighten out their gay son, but it has much more to offer than that. For instance, Jason Lingard is curating a mega group show of installation and photography, opening at the Carlton Hotel on Tuesday.

Description:
Don't expect the usual limp prawn cocktail or soggy chilli fries if you order room service at The Carlton Hotel this Thursday. What's on offer is an exponentially more palatable collection of installation work, painting, video art, sculpture, photography and drawing from Melbourne-based artists who are well acquainted with the inside of a hotel room, and have used this experience as an inspiration for their work.

The Tower of Babble On
It is not easy making a comic. Here, Chris Ware gave us some advice in that regard. "RUIN: Your Life. DRAW: Cartoons! And doom yourself to: decades of grinding isolation, solipsism, and utter social disregard." I know one person who won't be talking at Semi Permanent. Anyway, brushing aside Ware's words like so many emos at a pep rally, Jeremy Ley and Abe de Bruyn have made a comic.
