Description:
Weirdly, and not a little disappointingly, Sydney duo Soda_Jerk have had their work yanked from Next Wave's awesome ‘Time Lapse' video art series at Fed Square. We don't know, but we suspect it had something to do with Judy Garland, a jar of Seconal, and an unhealthy dose of Disney-grade censorship (and not by Next Wave, if you get our drift).
Event: Film

Description:
If you consider yourself a true Melbourne denizen, then no doubt you are familiar with the humble pushbike. You guys have had some good times, some memorable times, but sometimes you've had your differences and you (the singular you) got thrown to the curb, literally. I Fell Off My Bike is a series of hand-drawn and computer-animated biking mishap stories, inspired by Isobel Knowles' own personal flight over the handlebars, and that universally relatable feeling of imminent injury.

Description:
Melbourne - a great place to get stabbed. That's how the nightly news likes to portray the city. Paula Van Beek's Dangerous Melbourne explores our knifey / stabby city via the magic of performance. Also, surveys. She's asking artsy females aged between 18 and 30 to fill out a questionnaire which will influence her "triumphantly daggy performance piece" at Next Wave 2010.

There were some people at Next Wave events who actually paid attention to the art. Sure, they missed out on a lot of goon and cheese, but look what they've produced: The Text Camp Reader.

When:
Fri May 23, doors 10pm
How much:

Description:
Stuff is going just as it should at an awesome art festival. Openings are thicker on the ground than Christmas morning at the Brady's. And, despite having had his car stolen in a bizarre, Collingwood joy-riding-in-a-‘70s-bomb incident and having to enter and exit his house through the second storey bathroom window, due to the front door locking itself permanently, Festival Director Jeff Khan is holding up peachy.
Event: Party
Stimulus: sound the horns!
