There's been talk, oh yes there has. And now it's open. The gallery above Glitzern in Crossley Street. It's actually in the apartment that once belonged to anal-retentive Australian landscape artist and teacher of Frederick McCubbin, Eugene von Guerard. It is a bit spooky and fadedly opulent, which is the perfect setting for an exhibition by Kathryn Baulch, of Melbourne's cult jewellery label House of Baulch.
You'll recognise the style of the pieces from downstairs at Glitzern; it's all about dark, shiny, geometric deco theatrics. There are one-off wearable pieces, but there is also a giant chandelier-style bauble necklace hanging from the ceiling that would suit the dark whimsy of any frou-frou relative of the BFG. Drop by before it ends this Saturday!
