MySpace may have made making friends easy, but good friends are still hard to find. We’re talking Stand By Me-type friends, friends you can trust, ones that will stick by you hell or high-water, friends that will never say a bad word about you.
With that in mind ThreeThosuand Issue 064 has nothing bad to say about its good friend Melbourne. We feature ‘chain-exhibition’ Skeleta 2006 at Westspace, sparkling new shop Monk House Design, the all-consuming Melbourne International Film Festival, and we explore the third dimension at Robio and Imax. We also make friends with Brazilian band CSS and feature Winter Magazine because sometimes, you have to be your own best friend.

From what we can work out, it’s kind of like an artist chain gang. Coming up at Westspace, Skeleta 2006 is a themeless mutating exhibition comprising over 30 artists, all three Westspace galleries and a three-round selection process.
The project starts with the work of 11 committee members, who in turn each choose an arty acquaintance, friend or stranger to exhibit with them. The chosen one then picks another artist, and all three are installed together.
Come opening night, works from Peter Volich, Meredith Turnbull and Sary Zananiri will be scattered in various clusters, as 11 creative family trees map the artists’ (dis)connections from beginning to end.
Skeleta 2006 – pass it on. |

It’s stark, modern, and punctured with plastic tuffs of green grass, quirky Monk House Design now has a new home.
Like its Fitzroy sister, Monk House in the city supports Melbourne-based independent designers, and a few eclectic extras. The thick Personal Empires design books by the and collective are a novel treat, as are the bright Russian-inspired necklaces by global op-shoppers a name is a label.
The boutique’s primarily charcoal pallet of blended wool and cotton is broken up by signature electric-blue jackets, scarlet Melissa heels and Queen by Christine Boyle’s white spotted shirts.
New recruits are coming on-board all the time, so keep an eye out for Sarah Francis, who’s creating some of the most wearable little black dresses and deconstructed overalls this side of the 90s. |

No one likes a show-off, but sometimes it is nice to celebrate something that you are proud of. Recently, Right Angle Publishing, which produces ThreeThousand, created a guide to the winter months for the City of Melbourne. Featuring many of Melbourne’s personalities such as photographer Lyndal Walker, fashion designers Hem & Haw, The Trust‘s executive chef Spencer Patrick, interior designers the Splinter Society and of course our bro John So, the magazine is as much about the people of Melbourne as it is about the places and events that fill our cultural calendars.
After being picked-up faster than a free drink at an exhibition opening, Right Angle Publishing have also created a daily
e-newsletter that takes some of the information from the printed version (along with some other bits and pieces) so that those who missed out on a copy can still feel the love. Subscribe here - it’ll warm you like whiskey. |

You may be too poor to afford mind-altering drugs, but you can still see things in more dimensions at the Melbourne Museum’s IMAX 3-D. Screening Deep Sea, Wild Safari, Walking On The Moon, Bugs and Cyberworld, there is more than enough films to choose from and the glasses may not be as cool as your Wayfarers but they are still pretty rad.
IMAX 3-D is a timeless pursuit, as much for big kids as it is for young ones. So if you want to transcend reality or god forbid, get closer to it, then it’s time to see the world through blue-green coloured lenses. |

ThreeThousand is a weekly snapshot of Melbourne's subculture, fired by email into the loving arms of people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of writers, stylists, designers, photographers, sub-cultural attaches and a large troupe of monkeys who enjoy working for peanuts.
Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it – not because it's paid for.
Advertising Partnerships:
ThreeThousand is funded in full by one advertising partner per issue. We warmly invite advertisers who see the benefit in speaking to Melbourne through a trusted and targeted medium to contact Francesco at frunch@rightanglepublishing.com
Editorial Submissions:
The editorial team at ThreeThousand may know a lot - but they don't know everything. Feel free to send information on events, venues or anything else to chris@threethousand.com.au
Feedback:
Heap praise, sling abuse, ramble inanely – if you have anything to say to us please send it directly to talk@threethousand.com.au
