Readings from Jessica Rose Pearson's new collection, Yearning at The Opera House We use some cheesy hype-art accounts to springboard into a discussion about: What are the most interestin...

In this latest pod ep, we covered @sydneycontemporary fairly and honestly. Artists mentioned @julierrap Vincent Namatjira (see @thisisnofantasy) and @ebony_truscott  Thanks for listening!

This saturday, we woke up in a gambling mood but we had pod due. So we headed to the cass to try hit a two for one multi at Michael Reid Art Bar We found ourselves in an immersive show including great work by Samuel Hodge

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. Nicole’s site here: https://www.nicoleoliveria.com/ , FCMG site: https://www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au/services/fairfield-city-museum-gallery/exhibitions

We chat to @tiles.lewisham and @the_kitchen_studios for some stuff on DIY, anti white cube, and how galleries interact with their neighbourhoods.

We go to  @schmickcontemporary and talk about @rkshanahan show ‘the invisible hand’. The gallerist interrupts our nice time by projecting his race anxieties onto our friend.

This week we were supposed to talk about the opening at @firstdraft_ and the first show at @prop.gallery but instead we kind of just ranked every type of pizza available in Sydney. We did end up talking about Dan @b_odies reading in the @ichikawaedward room. 

This week we chat to Corey Black about his practice, what he's been reading, the social nature of insects and way more than i can fit in this description Corey Black's last show was the NAS postgrad show. See him on IG @orfyn We are on IG @hungup.au

Aiden and Matt give triple A gaming a decent seeing-to: Can video games with bad scripts be moving? How many people know the layout of de_dust better than their own house? Do conventions ruin games for non-gamers?  This episode also features an interview with Billie Robertson aka @mud_grub who was minding a souvenir shop/shrine at the NAS post grad show.  LRB article: https://www.lrb.co....

We can’t get enough of this fashion talk. After a state-mandated fit check we dive back in to who’s wearing what, and why. In the fibre of her being just closed up at @fairfieldcitymuseumgallery so with reference to two essays by curator of the show @sarahrosecurator and journo @nehakale , we discuss the labour-abstraction spectrum and the invisible work of weavers thru time ⏱🪡 This discussion re...

This week we started with a simple 21st century fit-check.  What's the most important part of an outfit? Matt thinks it's pants, Aiden says no one thinks it's pants. Art show opening outfits, party outfits, work outfits. Party outfits that look like work outfits. The infamous/iconic Tabi shoe with reference to two excellent articles which you should check out by  Arabelle Sicardi and&nbs...

This episode's hit list: Why is poetry boring?  Anatomy of a boring poem Harmonic resonance from the limits of language! Reading poems aloud 😡 Neon words in galleries 😡 Artist of the week is @daphnenguyen__ and you can see their very clever show called Windpipe at @tcs_windows in newtown. Listen right now at the link!

This week we're on about performance.  We mainly focus on theatre but our conversation ranged from chaturbate to immersive performance, to Trump's way of tweeting.  Dino Dimitriadis is a curator, producer, director and actor and the founder of Apocalypse Theatre Company.  You can find us on instagram @hungup.au
