Space ANEW WORK BYHolly and Rowan McNaughtSometimes, we are given trophies as a reward for an achievement.

Space BA HIERARCHY OF LOSSPaul PhillipsonPhilipson’s work explores the poetics of photography and its ability to present description without place. His seemingly unrelated images, when placed together, expose a shared language. The result is an unsettling exploration through territories as diverse as the elegiac texture of his landscapes to the texture of skin itself.The currency of the sublime runs through every aspect of Philipson’s work. His upcoming exhibition shows a series of ethereal photographs which transport you from a frozen lake, to a misty tree-lined road, to a night owl caught in the flash of a light. The effect is ...
Project RoomWITH AND WITHOUT IDENTITYNatasha CarringtonWith and Without Identity is the finding of an ethnographic investigation into the construct of the criminal ‘other’.As an installation of stills and texts taken from filmed interviews it aims to magnify issues that surround the visual representation of prisoners.Culturally it is interested in the role images play the construction of myths and how aesthetics form the signposts by which criminals are identified and categorised. Because prisoners are under the care of the State, questions of agency and identity become associated with censorship and risk.This exhibition asks that we consider how one set of institutionalised ...
Gallery 2YOU'RE DOING IT WRONGSimon MacEwanA series of drawings on the themes of growth repetition and the futility of trying to draw abstract philosophical concepts. With a confusion of approaches including cartography, geometric and psychedelic abstraction and natural history illustration; Simon MacEwan explores collective behaviour, the yearning for utopia and the frequent gulf between one's intention and the end result.In You're doing it wrong one can see the dark side of the moon, drink the milk of paradise or catch the train from Piccadilly Circus to Grand Central station.
Gallery 3BADLANDS AND THE GENERAL JUNGLESylvia JeffriessBadlands and The General Jungle pulls an untidy heap of reoccurring symbols and characters into its schizophrenic landscape, narrated by the inner monologue of neurotic clichés. The works writhe internally through a candy coloured landscape, informed by and fabricated on a self-perpetuating mythological mess of symbolic language and characters.Sylvia Jeffriess’ works take the construction of character and it’s relationship to idiosyncratic language through the psychedelic meat mincer of the artists’ personal subconscious, pulsing out a pop infused inner slime of cartoon inspired fears, desires, repulsions and anxieties.Badlands ties together the strings of underground zap ...
Oh my God! The Lumiere and other cinemas have closed, leaving only the megaplexes that screen nothing but the same few films under ever changing titles. Our only hope is to plant the surviving seeds and see if they take.Dvds projected on to a white wall in a gallery rich with the paintings of Milos Manojlovic who will serve anything from a cappucino to a shiraz or scotch at decent prices and a word or two of worldliness. Stay for opinions, music and imbibing after the film. Go on, dare ya!Oh my God 2! For anyone who revealed their poor ...
As threatened, I will be presenting a series of films between the monthly Core Program nights, as the Gallery's calendar permits. Celebrating those who fought the big one against the mainstream as it evolved, anime-like from a number of privately owned businesses into Megaplexor and swallowed the little uns. These pre-SBS2 portals to other worlds served the imaginations of the adventurous moviegoer for decades, providing canvas chairs, mono soundtracks, a selection of foyer-made choctops, and a sense of community for the curious.In memoriam:The ValhallaThe Carlton Movie HouseThe TrakThe Brighton BayThe Lumiere&cHere are the first few:SMILE(Michael Ritchie, USA, ...

After finishing school and a Fine Arts degree in Perth he moved to Melbourne 10 years ago. He works as a photographer and graphic designer and has exhibited widely both locally and nationally.

Dust off those memories o' Liquid Sky and Repo Man and get ready for some indy rock aliens!Hell, let's do both!And dinna ye ferget Dean Mc's Time Capsules starting again in January 2010.
photos and film footage from the exhibition coming soon.as well as much more of the wonderful Antonias work!
