CROSS COLOURING
Sir Clement Freud went to New Zealand in 1978. When I asked the old sauce what he thought, he replied, "I find it hard to say, because when I was there it seemed to be shut."
I went to Joint Hassles this year and when my editor asked me for my art review, I replied, "I will find it hard to write that Michelle, because when I was there it seemed to have closed due to Northcote rent hikes.
The 2nd Joint Hassles Bedroom Poster Show
There was a time in our lives when we didn't need a frame or pristine white walls to affirm the value of an image. Through accumulation of posters we all learned the basics of curation and began the ceaseless task of constructing our identities. Hours spent in the bedroom with music and blu-tack arranging and re-arranging - a topless girl here, a Rasta flag there.
Matt Griffin
I don't know art but I know what I like, and that's the work of Melbourne-based artist Matt Griffin. You might have seen his work in the first installment of the Life.Death.Thereafter exhibition trilogy. The first one (Life, duh) was at that Silvershot gallery? I missed it. I heard Matt's stuff was pretty cool though.
Mountains, Streams and Cave Dreams
Two big deals for Joint Hassles: The first is - they'll have to move soon because too many cashed up hippies want to live in Northcote. And that's a Sam Hell of a shame. Goddam hippies. The second is, international super art hipster William Mackinnon has moved back to Melbourne because our city is the best.
Ye Medieval
Alex Vivian is a name appearing in so many cracks, crevasses and one-man acts; no one is finding it easy to keep up. He may have caught your attention some time ago with his noise art, and then, while you were letting yourself be sucked into the whirring hypnosis, Vivian tapped you on the shoulder to invite you to Sydney.
Sub-Devide & Concrete
With a faux D&G logo designed by Josh Petherick and James Deutsher, this show looks like something you might find next to the Louis Vuitton on Silk Street, Beijing.
Presented by James Deutsher and Christopher L.G. Hill, it's about how things jostle for space, get ripped off, get used by other people, form new meanings and connections in the process, and about the daily encroachments on our physical and mental spaces.
The Fold – Nathan Gray
Here we have new works by Nathan Gray, famed for his print-making, sculpture, woven paper works, graphic design and improvised sound activities. And other things.
So this show involves performances. The first (on Saturday July 18 at 2pm) features Nathan Gray with Chris Hill as Halfman/HalfMoffarah – an electronic / vocal improvisation last seen as part of the Aggregation No.
