A wise man once said that you should never mix your elements, but when it comes to a romantic cocktail, water and light can have seriously potent consequences.
Liquid Light is an investigative exhibition into the seductive effects of light captured. Woven through the darkened corridors of Bus Gallery, the showcase creates a culvert of sometimes unsettling, but essentially contemplative environments.
Through photographic installations and visual projections, six Melbourne-based artists: Josh Daniel, Laura di Florio, Alison Langley, Laureen Lansdown, Teresa O’Neill and Anna Phillips flicker and manipulate light as if water.
As the projected light moves, the lines between past and present begin to blur as analogue and digital technology interact - creating a mood of subtle, fragile and intoxicating energy. Remember to pace yourself with this one. |

After years of travelling through shops from New Zealand to New York, Melbourne label Obus now has a home of its very own. A boutique born on Easter Saturday morning, designer Kylie Zerbst has finally embedded her wandering designs into the hallowed street of Gertrude.
Made with all natural materials, from soft cottons in summer to winter-thick knits, the label’s designs and prints are wholly conceived and manufactured in our city, utilising local businesses.
Not one to follow fads or trends, the label counts a clientele of adventurous women (and men if they swing that way). Women who say NO to hotpants and skinny jeans, women who dress for themselves, and most importantly, women who refuse to settle for flat prints and synthetic fabrics when it comes to a traveling wardrobe.

Finally, The Presets are damn near back on home shores and, to prevent frostbite after a stint in northern England, they’ve prepared a mix tape for Tokion Magazine’s Tokion FM.
This is a mix tape that will woo fans in a way that any teenage boy with a crush on a girl can only dream of. With tracks from Phoenix, Trans Am, Quincy Jones, Willie Nelson and Mercy Arms their mix is past, present, local and international all at once, and may give some kind of insight into the sounds that will help influence their rumoured Spring ’06 album. Or not.
Either way, you have nothing to lose – except your mind. |

Let’s face it, we’re all voyeurs at heart. Don’t tell us that you’ve never flicked the telly on to Big Brother, wasted hours in front of YouTube, or been that little bit curious about the lives of your annoying neighbours.
A dance piece and quasi social-study, Room Service tracks the un-inhibited moments that take place in private spaces. Through three main characters, the performance examines the effects of living quarters on behaviour, relationships and energy.
Designed and choreographed by 22-year-old Tim Darbyshire, who will soon jet off for Vienna to take part in the DanceWEB Europe Scholarship Program, the piece employs the primary medium of contemporary dance within a 40 minute performance.
The momentary snapshots don’t offer any particular grand gestures or social commentary, but work to promote a tolerance of space and the personalities within it – someone should tell the boobs on Big Brother.

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
