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.

Well, it's high time you discovered NowNow is not actually a theoretical person, but a very real, very busy project-based collective. On top of regularly updated features and strangely intriguing pictures of people's desktops, there is an impressive online gallery with contributions from a broad range of local and international photographers. And don't even get me started on WON Magazine.

Of course, the next step in their evolution as an active agent of the arts is for NowNow to curate an exhibition. Collating works from contributors as far afield as Sweden, USA, UK and Adelaide, Neverness, Part 1 contrasts notions of eternity to frame the exploratory nature of a global group show.

Somehow finding clarity through the eyes of many, this is a group show that knows what you mean when you say ‘not another bleedin' group show'. Featuring work by Linus Bill, Thobias Fäldt, Conor O'Brien and others, this show is on for one night only before heading up to Sydney's Black & Blue Gallery. One can only wonder what they'll do next.
