Description:
Do you remember the little moater that could? He dived into the shallows of the NGV moat and managed to pay for his dinner that night. It's wonderful when citizens make good use of our decorative water features. Chris Doyle thinks so, too. The Brooklyn-based artist projects video pieces against city walls to create moving sculptures of light.

Description:
Remember that big-ass book we gave away? Well, most of Melbourne wanted it. We received the largest number of entries this side of the spam filter. It turns out you're a bookish lot. Or just fans of mysterious iconic painters. Either way, Nolan shines through as one of the best exhibitions to visit Melbourne this Next Wave season.

Picasso: Love & War 1935-1945
She cut herself, and he liked it. The great Spaniard Pablo Picasso is renown for his bright cubist masterpieces, but from 1935-1945 his world was steeped in the dark romance of a figure called Dora Maar.
A photographer, revered beauty and self-mutilator, Maar was Picasso’s lover in pre-war Paris.
Howard Arkley
Everything seems to be on such a large scale at this time of year - the crowds, the carols, the trees - that we thought it made sense to preview one of the biggest exhibitions in the city, literally.
Credited with ‘transforming’ our suburban landscape, Howard Arkley’s airbrushed snapshots of suburbia are big enough to give the Guernica a run for its money.
Tezuka – The Marvel of Manga
Before there was Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon and Shirow Masamune’s Ghost In The Shell there was Astro Boy and his creator Tezuka Osamu. Widely considered the father of manga, the physician turned illustrator is as revered as Walt Disney in Japan, but little known in the West.
Pissarro
If Sid Vicious and 19th century French Artist Camile Pissarro ever came face to face, they surely would have enjoyed a few shots of tequila and a wrestle. Self-confessed anarchist and artistic genius to boot, Pissarro is the drummer of the Impressionist band, which included Renoir, Cezanne and front-man Monet.
Get Made Badges
Get Made Badges are the handiwork of a talented crop of artists who took part in the National Gallery of Victoria's Community Arts Program earlier this year. These little buttons deserve to be close to your heart, or at the very least, have a special place on your lapel.
The program aimed to connect young adults with learning, via a print-making, fashion and textile design program – some of the fine results being these badges.
