Wednesday 16th – 23rd
Each week, ThreeThousand presents you with end results; exhibitions, books, magazines, gigs, movies, shops, clothes and albums. Yet, with so many things coming through our lives and our inboxes each week, it is all too easy to forget about the process behind them. More often than not, it is a process that contains blood, sweat, tears, beers and highs and lows that are unique to a particular project or dream. Issue 068 encourages taking the time out to think about what went before what you are experiencing now. |

Rosetzky works across a number of art genres and materials that have always allowed his figures a certain amount of distance, but Worlds Apart takes another tack, creating enough room in front of the images for you to pick apart the settings and faces put together.
A blank description of the work would describe it as a deconstruction of advertising imagery, but what really goes on in Worlds Apart is that you're watching figures from another zone of reality go through vast internal shifts. Then, if you are so inclined, the images and footage act as a critique of the world of oiled chests and prefigured poses.
What you notice first is that the figures we watch are engaged in their own contemplations; the task ahead, measuring a gaze or looking aside the camera. The result is almost unexpected, a deeply relaxed but instantly engaged experience. On two separate visits, the gallery was busy with a similar argument about the relative meaning of lighting in one of the DVD projection pieces. Being that silence is art's worst critic, this speaks volumes about the warmth of Rosetzky's new work. |

You might not be able to pronounce his name, but designer Alexandre Herchcovitch first rose from the streets of San Paolo ten years ago and now you can find his fashion six floors above Swantson St at Order and Progress.
With designs inspired by streetwalkers and prostitutes, Herchcovitch has continued to outdo himself in the flamboyance stakes each season.
This little wool/nylon crop jacket from his new collection at O&P is more street-savvy than streetwalker, but if you wear it down Bourke you can bet on drawing some lingering looks of approval, or bewilderment if you’re male. |

For a while now Pages Online have been producing online magazines that are arguably too good for the web. Well designed and well written, their lead title Pages (fashion, art, culture), has led to Monkey Says (surf, skate, snow), that has now led to Groupie, which features pop, rock, dance, hip-hop and everything in between.
With a wide net thrown over the music industry, Groupie is not so much about telling you what’s cool as much as it is about letting you decide what you are interested in. A range of contributors from record label heads to radio programmers make sure that the content is informed and provide enough insider tip-offs to make Martha Stewart blush.
Groupie may not be for the musical purists but depending on your tastes it (at the very least) provides a few pages that everyone can throw their panties at. |

Remember when Pauly Shore and Bill and Ted introduced us to SoCal stoner speak in the early nineties? Well, this time around, Brick brings us a whole slew of catchy new lingo, though it’s a little harder to grasp than “weazin’ the juice”.
Re-fashioning the dialogue of novelist Dashiell Hammett, Rian Johnson’s debut feature brings is a touch of teen thriller and a solid dose of neo-noir.
In a quiet suburban high school, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s archetypal loner Brendan Frye is on the hunt for his ex-girlfriend’s killer and quickly finds himself immersed in an underworld run by amphetamines baron/Mommy’s boy, The Pin (Lukas Haas).
With a soundtrack that includes the recorded abuse of filing cabinets, cheese graters and radiators, and costume designs from Michele Posch (Ken Park), the thoroughly constructed universe of Brick rings of Twin Peaks and Heathers strained through a Chinatown sieve. But unless you can accurately translate “yegs better cop the duck soup on this hop”, click here to view the Brick glossary. |

Description:
Although 90 percent of the jewellery on show as part of this exhibition isn’t exactly wearable (stuffed bird brooch anyone?), the craftsmanship is something to be astounded, and occasionally baffled by. Beaten metals, baked enamel, carved plastics and taxidermy are all on display, while award winner Sally Marsland’s ‘poured and sliced’ earrings look freshly hacked from sectioned rock.
