No matter who you are, where you live or what you do, some visual symbols are instantly recognisable.
If for instance, we showed you a dark human silhouette clutching a white boxy instrument on a bright colour background - it wouldn’t matter if you were an Aussie or an Inuit - you’d probably recognise an iPod advert. How about if we held up a picture of a clean-shaven, smiling, greying Texan, in a wrinkle-free suit? Even if you didn’t know his name, chances are you’d pinpoint the American President.
As part of her foyer project, iBush Posters, Liz Rossof takes one of the world’s most visually successful marketing campaigns and injects one of her country’s most identified human icons. Each hyper-colour poster casts Bush next to a verbal remark made by a selection of 3000 Americans when they were shown a picture of George Bush Jr.
Bright, bold, but not necessarily beautiful, iBush Posters is a visually iStimulating snapshot of a nation. |

Felice Varini changes interior space like magicians change hankies into doves, or like alcohol changes ugly people into good looking ones. Points Of View brings together twenty years of his perspective-changing painting techniques.
From carparks and galleries, to even the most boring of corridors, Varini’s shapes and colours make the most mundane places seem sublime.
His work, based on a philosophy that explores architecture, materials, history and function is like a magic-eye for adults and will make you think a little more laterally next time you have to paint your walls or tag your name on a public toilet. |

David Lynch is the master of loaded words and images. In his other works such as Twin Peaks, Mulholland Dr. and Lost Highway, the plots wind like snakes through a field, an indefinable presence that is both natural and dangerous.
In Blue Velvet, Lynch captures the vulnerability of the small town of Lumberton, slowly revealing its perversions and violent side. Zoomed in and up-close to the sordid characters you can see their skin crawl and their blood pulse in synchrony with your own.
Using the camera like a boy uses a magnifying glass to kill ants, Lynch is brutal and precise, creating an experience at once pleasurable, disturbing and transfixing. As Kyle MacLachlan’s character Jeffrey states, “it’s a strange world” and thanks to directors like Mr Lynch it sometimes seems a whole lot stranger. |

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
