As much as we hate to use this word... CRISIS! Melbourne's artist-run galleries have been getting rather large rent hikes inserted into their rectums recently. And it's time for us all to adjust our perspectives, because if we don't start doing more than drinking free goon at launches of a Thursday night there'll be no more launches to drink goon at.
In the peak of the festive season when spirits are at their highest and love and joy abound, there is no better time to take a good hard look at death. Siri Hayes and Kristian Haggblom do just this in their latest show at Kings.
The feared subject of death is explored by Hayes through photographs of abandoned and run-down houses, stagnant amid the grey murk of suburbia.
