Art's physicality evokes responses outside of our control, and toying with our sense of material disgust or vertigo can push us to experience immediate forces. Despite the fact that these moments have their own traditions in art, they still hold raw power. The first attraction is that when you force a body to send fight-or-flight signals to the brain, it can't get lost in the endless interpretive game of art. It’s hard to work out the artist's comment on postmodernity if your reptile brain is telling you to run like hell.
MILES HIGH Death of Cool is a bloody, paranoiac carnival of intensity and emotion, and luckily for us, it opens tonight. The exhibit is a garbled cry against the civility of a chemically castrated world that assaults viewers without ever treating them like a student of a lost cause. The game of the body is turned on its head, without the heavy weight of psychology, or the stone of interpretation around its neck. The airplane, that symbolic bastard, is re-imagined in this exhibit alongside a furious manifesto against fruit. Let the bodies hit the gallery floor. |

One positive thing about living in a city with pre-menstrual weather, is that you can wear a cable-knit cardi like this one all year round. Maybe it’d be slightly warm on a 30-degree day, but when it rains buckets that same afternoon you could slip it on quite comfortably.
Friedrich Gray is one Sydney-sider obviously clued to Melburnian taste. Black with a touch of buttoned colour, his cardis, hooded shirts and wide-cut jackets merge city goth with a wisp of the country, without any dirt or black eyeliner. |

Full of scientific instruments, fossils, mounted bugs and barometers, Wunderkammer (Chamber of Wonders) is the kind of place in which you’d expect to run into Einstein, or the kids from your Biology 3/4 glass.
Curated by Ray Meyer, who cultivated a love of collectables during 20 years working at the CSIRO, the store moved city-side two weeks ago from the back streets of Carlton.
Even if stuffed owls aren’t your cup of tea, the instruments on display are not just for the science-obsessed, but also for those that appreciate meticulous craftsmanship. The store even stocks antique Orreries that were made before Pluto was scrapped from the planet list. Long live your inner geek. |

Its title sounds like a bad translation, but don’t judge into the nature – of Creatures and Wilderness by its cover, judge it for the depth of the images within.
A visual study into the natural world, skip the preface and journey straight into pages thick with illustrations, sketches, photography and prints that burst with life and colour.
As refreshing as a snap-shot holiday, this is not just another ‘design’ manifesto, but an exploration and crossing of the bridges between nature and culture. |
