Description:
Gorker Gallery offers a night to be pursed-lipped and critical. When your evening involves viewing art and tasting wine, you have a hoity-toity licence.

Meanwhile, Nate Holmes Trapnell's hot rod graffiti and comic book influenced illustrations crafted using only a fine-liner pen will be exhibited.

Stimulus: W
The Forty Thieves, Gorker Gallery launch
Must be killer to be an illustrator because everyone would always be inviting you to be in a group show. "Hey I'm putting on a group show, yo. Can you send me, like a drawing, it will be number 39."
WHY CANNOT THE ILLUSTRATORS HAVE THEIR OWN SHOWS? It's not like a zoo where the wombats are a bit boring, sitting in a hollow log all day, so they throw in some red-bum monkeys next door and a jazz orchestra near the kiosk.
Gallery above Glitzern
There's been talk, oh yes there has. And now it's open. The gallery above Glitzern in Crossley Street. It's actually in the apartment that once belonged to anal-retentive Australian landscape artist and teacher of Frederick McCubbin, Eugene von Guerard. It is a bit spooky and fadedly opulent, which is the perfect setting for an exhibition by Kathryn Baulch, of Melbourne's cult jewellery label House of Baulch.
Tony Garifalakis, INFINITY LAND
'Welcome to Hell.' Quick sketch of a cinematic cliché: Hard-as-nails Drill Sergeant welcomes green-as-grass bunch of recruits to bombed-out battlefield. He knows, and so do we, that half of them will be dead by the end of the movie and that the other half will have learnt some hard-earned lessons, emerged as heroes, etc and-so-forth.
Don’t Come
With an outspoken fashion sense that says ‘Islam is OK’ and ‘H.A.B.I.T KILLS’, Schwipe has built its reputation on the unconventional.
Finally out on its own, the label’s maiden store Don’t Come is damn hard to find but damn hard to leave once you do. With a space saturated in natural light, infinity mirrored changerooms and a gallery in progress, the name might imply that you’re not wanted, but Schwipe have never followed the rules anyway.
