Melbourne’s mX newspaper is more popular than gouging out your eyes with a fork. However, if they handed out free forks at train stations we are sure that a more people would change their preference.
Ash Keating, who has a background in street art, activism, waste management and fine art, poignantly uses mX newspapers as the medium for his current exhibition at Diane Tanzer Gallery. His show Press Release asks us to consider the mX outside the confines of a peak hour train ride. Of concern to the artist is the environmental consequence of thousands of newspapers being dumped at train stations each day, as well as the way in which the city and its events are presented in the media. In many ways Press Release is everything that the mX is not; meticulous, considered, conscientious, unique, intelligent and informative. |

A Jean Luc Godard inspired ethos, Fantastic Planet-esque patterns, and Rolling Stones adoration are what we know and love of Alpha60, who’ve just cut the ribbon at Alphaville.
This one-stop-shop carries all the latest and greatest Alpha60 pieces for ladies, gents and cool cats alike, with Kim Jones for Umbro shoes, and Dutch label KTZ – also seen at Bjork’s favourite store, Paris’ Kokon to Zai.
Come 2006, the space will host temporary exhibitions and installations from local designers, artists and media extraordinaires. For now though, it is the home of fantastic fashion and a giant Mick Jagger doll - so don’t wait!
