The Church
March 9, 2009It was 20 years ago today (or thereabouts) that The Church began life as one of Australia’s most original bands. With Steve Kilbey’s surreal lyrics woven around a whole bunch of jangly guitar chords and shimmering lead lines, the band made solid impressions in the UK and the US during the 1980s. However, contractual stints with Warner and Arista never resulted in the mega-selling albums record companies love, and the boys have retreated to doing what they do best – their own thing at their own pace.

Sydney Metropolis
March 7, 2009The first of three exhibitions that will display different facets of Sydney life, ‘Sydney Metropolis’ explores the moods of the metropolitan district through a collection of 80 paintings, drawings and photographs by artists, photographers and architects. Their reactions are as varied as their occupations and the times they worked in; some see the city as a place of unsafe shadows inhabited by phantoms while others see a bright, shining utopia among the piecemeal and sometimes disastrous urban planning.

Yasumasa Morimura
March 1, 2009Photographer Yasumasa Morimura grew up imbued with Eastern and Western, traditional and modern cultural values – something that stamped ambiguity onto his work. ‘History of Art’ is a series of digitally manipulated photographs, using masterpieces of western painting as a starting point. Morimura appropriates the ‘western’ aspects then adapts and converts them into something entirely of his own. Thus, Morimuri himself appears superimposed onto a Van Gogh self-portrait or Goya’s ‘The Third of May, Madrid 1808′ to produce a masterly metaphor, his personal settling of scores with the colonialist west.
