The form is sucrose-based, but the art, nutritious. Sugar takes a childhood treat to demonic levels.
Running for the forth-consecutive year as part of LMFF, communications house Paper Stone Scissors and stylist Virginia Dowzer have let 29 indulgent pickings caramelise into one sweet-ass show.
Like a bag of mixed lollies, over the past year assorted
artists, designers, photographers and musicians boiled
up a delicious range of photographs, sound and installation
art pieces.
The virtual candy store sports suspended sugar cubes, overlain with Sugar-infused printed photography. A sprinkling of installation art gives the whole display ‘do not touch’ attitude - although secretly, you’d like to lick the space wall to wall.
Suggestive models sucking candy canes, the apocalyptic ‘Cane Fire’ and etherised beauty of ‘Death by Toffee’, make this lolly land both challenge and pervert inherent nostalgias; indicative of the bittersweet world we live in.
Sugar is sensorial delight that all art lovers (and dental hygienists) should dip their little fingers into.

Not to be confused with Hoboe’s Remorse (aka Sunday Morning Shame Spiral), Buyer’s Remorse is a terrible affliction affecting 8 in 5 Australians. There are only two known cures: teenage girl clothes swap nights, or Vogue’s amazing online Swap Shop.
Way more fun than eBay, the Swap Shop. forum threads read like a whose who of glamour. Touch typing traders are ready to exchange Shiseido Eyelash Curlers, Roy Jeans, Tsubi Skinny Minnies, and Karen Walker coats for Elizabeth Arden Peel and Reveal, Clinique Scrubs, ballet flats, and Sass and Bide jeans.
While the selection can be a little bit teenage girl (pictured) at times, have a thorough read as we are sure that ThreeThousand readers are sure to find something to replace the jeans that they bought but are now too thin for. |

Air Force brat Dene Lawson grew up all over the United States, leaving a trail of blushing Susans, Debbies and Anns in his wake.
He was a heart-breaking, note-making, moving and shaking cad of a kid, who kept all the love letters from his schoolyard years, which he collated to form his memoir to young love, 2gether 4ever – Notes of a Junior High School Heartthrob.
In an age when Internet romances are rapidly stamping out traditional wooing methods like the love letter, 2gether 4ever is the perfect antidote to anybody who is love sick, or lovelorn.
With chapters such as ‘I like you, do you like me?’ and ‘Make-out city’, even the most love-blind amongst us will read this and long for the days before ‘<3’ was considered romantic word smithing. This is romance writing in it’s most pure, pubescent, heart-skipping form.
Complete with tips on how to fold a triangunote (love letter origami) and how to write in note-speak, you’ll be inspired to start love (letter) making in no time. So quit playing games with your/our/their heart, put pencil to paper, and remember to always seal your notes with a kiss and not a spray of Impulse/Lynx. |

You can imagine that if Jens Lekman wasn’t singing he would, in fact, be silent. He would be that shy guy, who sits thinking, laughs occasionally, but is more talented than any other wanna-be or show off in the room.
His new album Oh You’re So Silent Jens, which follows up on his previous b-sides and singles, certainly proves his musical talent as well as having the depth and insight that only careful, quiet observation can provide. Compared with Morrisey for humour and melodrama and Belle and Sebastian flowery sun-filled pop, Jens Lekman is more articulate than his title might suggest. The 17 tracks speak in volumes and in tongues about love, loss, the unknown, the forgotten and the beauty in mediocrity. It sounds corny, and maybe it is, however when expressed with such honesty, and qualified by its own finger fidgeting awkwardness, Oh You’re So Silent Jens is an album that should definitely be turned up loud. |

Unlike the skin
flick from which it has borrowed its name, the three-day
film and music festival In
The Realm Of The Senses won’t make you blush
– not that it would matter. No-one can see you blush
in the bush.
Now five years young, this year the In The Realm Of The Senses short film festival has plonked itself in a charming new location amongst the trees and under the stars in the Yarra Bend Park in Fairfield.
Running over the Labour Day weekend and with screenings from Australia, New Zealand and India, ITROTS kicks off with the Fantastic Voyage opening night party; a film/cricket hybrid evening with Saturday night boasting the Crossing the Tasman short film competition.
To conclude, expect a nocturnal extravaganza at the Eclypse closing night party on Sunday, featuring Sydney’s electronic dance group, The Bird, the dreamy Mountains In The Sky, and a posse of other local bands and DJs – with some music videos thrown in for good measure. |

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
