Hey so I wrote a review of Aussie artist Lindy Lee’s lates exhibition for Killings, you can read it here!

You should go to the exhibition because alongside paper, ink, steel and other materials, she has made her artworks out of fire and rain. Which is really beautiful and cool.

Here are the details of the totally rad exhibition:

Lindy Lee, Mystical Realism: A Record of Things Experienced 
26 May 2012 - 23 June 2012 
At the Sutton Gallery,
254 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
VIC 3065 AUSTRALIA

So my latest Killings post is up and it’s all about women and stand up comedy. So read that bad boy (or girl) here.

 

In other news I am taking a literature class at an expensive private boys’ school this week, as in teaching it, on a book I haven’t read since second-year uni. Thankfully that book is FRANKENSTEIN because so what if I don’t know how to teach, who doesn’t love a living assemblage of  the limbs and other assorted body parts of dead people? More importantly, who doesn’t love a knitted frankentein’s monster that is also a cat?

Melinda Tankard Reist review

Hey y’all,

Zadok Perspectives has recently published my review on Big Porn Inc, a collection of anti-pornogrphy essays edited by Melinda Tankard Reist and Abigail Bray, released by Spinifex Press late last year.

To quote Zadok’s own website since it’s too early in the day for me to be bothered paraphrasing, their publications “include articles, books and papers on Christianity and the workplace, economics, Australian culture, welfare, ethics, multiculturalism, the family, lay ministry, the arts, Aboriginal issues and much more.”

I am also working on a couple of other articles for some rad publications atm, so watch this space amigos.

Some exciting news…writing for KYD!

I am hugely honoured to have been offered a position as a columnist on Killings, the Kill Your Darlings blog.

My position title is ‘Music, Theatre and Visual Arts Columnist,’ and my first piece is a review of Pop Life: Smash Hits Australia, an anecdotal history of Smash Hits magazine, written by Claire Isaac, David Nichols and Marc Andrews, and published by Affirm Press.
