When Sir Mix-a-lot told us about the boy with low cash flow (the one who ain't down to throw and shakes their girl-like body on the floor that makes the girls go BOINGGG!) he was referring to the blushed-up cake boys of the ‘90s. 'Cake Boy' is the lost term for well-manicured boys now being revived at Nicholas Building gallery space, Blindside.
I trust you are familiar with NowNow, ThreeThousand's sophisticated, worldly cousin? You may have spotted him at a Right Angle family get together, propped against a windowsill sipping at a snifter of port, calmly snapping off the odd shot on his Contax while ThreeThousand gets wasted on fruit punch and plays charades with the kids.
If you've ever taken a clichéd photo of, say, yourself on a camel in front of the Giza Pyramids or clouds out the window of an aeroplane, you might want to have a look at Many Same - because there's a good chance your photo could be reuniting with its lost brethren.
An archive of universal sameness, Many Same's creator Tim Anderson has probed the far corners of the Internet to find pieces of the same puzzle and has presented it in one mass collection of images, isolated from their original context.
Gregory Crewdson’s Beneath the Roses reveals his elaborately choreographed, large-scale photographs which blur the line between cinema and photography.
His new pictures take place, often at dusk, in unnamed American towns, streets, and homes which show subjects caught in transition and laced with ambiguity.
The art and fashion worlds have been in cahoots ever since the first sentient being glimpsed their own reflection in a murky pool and decided to do something about their hair. Things have moved along since and the way we decorate our bodies is now a highly complex ritual loaded with symbolism, whether we like it or not.
If America's Top Model has taught us anything, photo shoots are all "walruses in chiffon" and "look bitch, I was chosen out of a million people, I don't know what your problem is." ATM turned photo shoots into hilarious performances starring photographers pointing their lenses towards dolled up cats hissing at their competitors.
"But it's not a movie, it's just my stupid life."
In Martin Bell's phenomenal new book (already named "the most awesome book ever made" by one illustrious critic), past and present collide in domestic snapshots and present day meetings of flesh and plastic.
In Bell's world, life is lived in cubby houses and under overpasses, or heading cross-country in a caravan.
