Generally, ThreeThousand doesn’t like to dabble in politics. We are both too stupid and too good-looking to genuinely care. Fortunately, not everyone is like us, and for those with a social conscience ACCA have created a new exhibition, ‘The Unquiet World’, that not only conveys a powerful message but also supports independent artists and free thinkers.
On May the 27th 2006, the gallery called an exhibition of international and local artists to reflect upon current and past disasters from trouble spots all over the earth. They resolved then, and are still resolved today, to confront a range of pressing contemporary issues. From the bizarre dementia of those caught up in the Jerusalem syndrome, to messages about the perils of everyday life in Iraq ‘The Unquiet World’ might just make you shut up and think for a while. |

The founders of Tank, Masoud Golsorkhi and Andreas Laeufer, began the magazine because the one that they wanted to read didn’t exist. A mixture of fashion, architecture, art, photo-journalism, design and words Tank aims to invent and surprise as well as capture contemporary culture.
Tank Too, packaged like a matchbox and burning just as bright, is their second collection and covers Tank’s past four years of images. The foreword by photography aficionado Charlotte Cotton articulates the belief that the role of the photographer is to ‘predict rather than reflect what is meaningful in a culture’. With this in mind Tank Too finds an intriguing balance between past, present and future and becomes not only a time-capsule but also pre-cursor to more independent and risk-taking image making. |

Last Friday, the 2nd, right in the centre of our wintered city, a horrific showcase did emerge. Slashed with the blood, gore and entrails of cinema gone by, it was a showcase so horrifying that just a glimpse cause hundreds to flee for their lives, and others, to pee their pants just a little.
Set deep in the bowels of ACMI, Freaky Fridays is a cinematic manifesto of satanic filmmaking, embracing the sickly delights of corn syrup and prosthetic limbs. To mark the formidable date of 6/6/6, our sweet little ACMI has been instilled with a doctrine of evil film worship each Friday eve.
Classics like Carrie, Ken Russel’s The Devils (pictured) and Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby, will all make appearances, but slated for next week is Night of the Demon, a tale of demonic curses and many deaths. So this week, or next, when the moon waxes and wanes and Satan emerges from the bowels of hell, best get indoors and watch a film. |

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
