Kyota Takahashi's exhibit is part of the ‘Rapt!: Contemporary Art from Japan’ super-exhibition. Showing Melbourne and Sydney how Japanese art extends beyond the meditative (Mori) and cutesy (Murakami), Takahashi's abiding interests are in architecture and light, and Spacement's subtle angles provide a perfect arena for Vanishing.
Spectral figures dance and flicker as shadows on the gallery floor, occasionally blooming to a brilliant white light. The indistinct character of the figures allow a degree of playfulness to enter into the tone of Vanishing, and Takahashi's experience in light projection suffuses the somewhat dry technological premise with energy and wit. Those looking for 'Japanese-ness' in Takahashi's work will find their gaze deflected along invisible city streets and shadows and back towards the subject in play, which perfectly captures the intent of the Rapt! projects.
If this isn't enough light-play, there is also Takahashi's Public Projection at the Lonsdale Street Power Station - cnr. Lonsdale Street and Spencer Street on Thursday October 12 and Friday October 13, from 7pm. |

In the tough world of independent publishing print titles can drop off faster than a dinger off a limp dick - and you know that you truly like a magazine when you get anxious that the next issue is not on the shelves when you think it should be. Fortunately, They Shoot Homos Don’t They? is back and better than ever with Issue 03, which explores the brotherhood, and ties together simple things in order to reveal their complexity. It also comes with an amazing mix CD featuring Xiu Xiu, Chicks On Speed, Kim, Phillips Sisters, Psapp and HTRK.
We conducted an interview with TSHDT? editor Timothy Moore to give you more of an insight into this wonderful publication than a 150-word feature can.
You can also show your support by…
1) attending the launch this Sunday at Alia on Gertrude, $10 entry (includes a copy of the magazine)
2) attending WPPSC Burqa party at the Public Office on Sat Oct 21. More details in next week’s OUT. |

It’s not out until the end of October, but there’s so much controversy surrounding new film Fast Food Nation that we wanted to get in on the action.
You’ve probably seen the new McDonald’s ad campaign, featuring perky teens driving around Australia investigating the mysteries of fast food. It’s just like Scooby Doo (if Fred and Daphne were corporate shills instead of ghost-hunters). First there was McLibel, then Supersize Me, and now Richard Linklater’s film Fast Food Nation.
Basing a drama on Eric Schlosser’s non-fiction book about food, politics, and exploitation risks using characters just to parrot exposition, but Linklater and his cast (including Greg Kinnear, Ethan Hawke, and the always-awesome Kris Kristofferson) stick close to naturalism. While the pacing’s erratic at times, the slow build to the final scenes of untrained workers on the ‘killing floor’ is as nerve-wracking as any horror film.
Fast Food Nation might have only preached to the regular choir of indie vegetarians, but now that McDonald’s have pointed out how kaa-razy!!! we are to doubt them, everyone should see the film. Hell, read the book too. And then – to quote the clown – make up your own mind. |
