Hung up

For our final episode of the year, we split up to investigate the SCA and NAS grad shows which opened on the very same night. We cover the vibes of art, the artists (and their parents), the teachers and grounds of these two Sydney institutions. Sorry, COFA. Matt launches into a rant about the inner west social vibe (with examples) and then goes on to tell an unrelated disaster story. We then discu...

We saw the colourful, angry, and deeply funny survey of Gordon’s work at UNSW Galleries (on until 2nd of October). We chat the violent power of language, Hookey’s sense of humour, linguistic rupture, re-imagined histories, the nature of truthyness, and have a poke at mainstream art media for being too shy to name the fun parts of this show.

We talk metro 1, s-lab, MCDs and how we’re really good at cooking

Hung up weighs in on Western Syd with help from our dear friend Adam (2759). We cover his art school aspirations, how hard it was to find kale in the west, aus hip hop, and what it was like growing up in Penrith (2750) and moving to Newtown (2042). We briefly chat @sly__morikawa’s show at TCS windows and examine the tension in her photos of Western Syd. And we once again ask, who can wear TNs?

We visit Who Are You Wearing at @fairfieldcitymuseumandgallery and go deeper on @chainmailthelabel and @nicoleoliveria works. We talk about Western Sydney, tolerance v love, anti-alienation and the solipsism of WFH.
