THE CARS THAT ATE SCREAMDANCE

PRETENDING THINGS ARE A COCK
Jon Bennett 1st March - 3rd April 2010 'Pretending things are a cock' is a photographic exhibition created by Jon Bennett (writer/comedian), Simon Mitchell (writer/photographer) and Alexander JE Bradley (photographer/artist). With a large assortment of phalluses protruding from his groin area, Bennett's 'cocks' range from ordinary household utensils, to obscure objects and world-renowned monuments. This project has taken its creators over two years to compile. The exhibition of the 'cocks' photographs is an experiment in art that delves into the nature of masculinity and sex and exposes varying interpretations of irony within society.
ANIMORPHOS
Claudia Deese-Linder, George Zarkov, Kate Gagliardi, Madeline Reece, Rose-Marie Wilkinson and Stephanie English. 7th April - 3rd May 2010 Animorphos showcases the work of six emerging visual artists all focusing on the theme of animal instincts within human nature, encompassing primal nature, its beauty and the raw, sinister side of instinctual desires. The gallery transformed into a gentleman’s trophy room and the art works, the prize game. You are invited to escape to the world of Animorphos with painters Madeline Reece, Rose-Marie Wilkinson and Kate Gagliardi, contemporary jeweller Claudia Deese-Linder, contemporary ceramicist George Zacharoyannis and textile artist Stephanie English.
REPUBLIKA
Katerina Shipova 5th May - 29th May 2010 My exhibition is devoted to three countries. Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Russia once were part of the largest nation. One nation with different languages, traditions and religions- united by Russia and called Soviet Union. In some places I only traveled, in some I was living. It is a part of my life experience, knowledge and unforgettable memories. The Northern Caucasus are a blooming mountainous region. Beauty and greatness of the mountain ranges, deep and velvet black nights and clear crystal air consume all. Here is the Muslim part of Russia, steeped in culture and ceremony. Mountains ranges surround old cities of narrow cosy streets. The Crimea is the cradle of Humanity, where lived during thousands years Greek, Italian, Turkish, Russians, Ukrainian, Tartar and almost extinct Karaite people. History swiftly changed, epochs destroyed and instantly new. I lived and created at this place, in a small tartar village surrounded by mountains and vineyards falling into The Black Sea. Here my friends and Mariya still spend summers. It was free and cheerful part of life.
All these spectacular and fantastical places I fixed in my heart and art works.
FRäULEINS ORCHARD
Georgia Gabrielle, Naomi Murrell, Elisa Mazzone, Katrina Weber, Anna Creasy, Ruby Chew, Peta Alannah Chigwidden & Joelie Croser. 2nd June - 28th June 2010 After a hugely successful first show, fräuleins playthings, the girls are back. Individually the girls handiwork has graced the pages of magazines such as frankie, Sumptuous, InsideOut and Attitude, featured in a number of exhibitions around the country as well taking pride of place on the necks, blouses, in the hands and on the walls of sassy ladies around Australia.
