It's that time again - the grand and disorderly tenement that is the Nicholas Building opens its doors to steaky beaks who want to see whether anyone in the studios actually does work when they're not hanging out at Jungle.

Flags with "BANG!" popped out of them in cartoons, they starred in The Sopranos and the Wu-Tang clan talk about them a lot. UK artist Emma Crisp explores how gun iconography is plastered everywhere in popular culture while tip-toeing the line between presenting the gun as a weapon and a contemporary design element.

Pains in the Artists: Endurance and Suffering
This exhibition brings together four Melbourne artists whose common thread is an exploration of shame, embarrassment, pain, neuroses and the limits to which they can test themselves. In a show curated by Daine Singer, Simon Pericich, Anastasia Klose, Danielle Freakley and Timothy Kendall Edser are presenting their seemingly unlimited pain (and its endurance) for our viewing pleasure.
Hopeless Romantics
“They wear their hearts on their sleeves, have their heads in the sky and their guts in the gutter. This is the life of a hopeless romantic.”
Is it indeed hopeless to have a romantic outlook in this age of cynicism, speed dating and automated iCal invitations? Quite possibly. Thankfully though, amazing new artwork is still readily available, even if you have to hunt it down on MySpace.
Retrostar Vintage Clothing
With floor to ceiling second-hand stock, Retrostar is the place every good Melbourne kid comes to test the vintage waters. It’s like rummaging around in Nanna’s wardrobe - if Nanna was a cross between Twiggy, Farrah Fawcett and Madonna with a dash of Banana Rama.
If you thought the endless selection was already decent enough, then brace yourself… Retrostar just got bigger.
Death and Preservation
The Nicholas Building is a work of art in itself, and if you go there to visit the Collected Works bookshop, or one of the many odd little shops hidden within, you've probably come across the Viewing Space atleast once.
Death and Preservation is an exhibit perfectly suited to the room and to the building.
