Two awesome galleries collide in this show, which brings hundreds of pieces of Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Third Drawer Down in St Kilda. The Cinders Gallery in New York was founded by artist Kelie Bowman and her boyfriend, Sto, three years ago. They named it Cinders because Bowman’s house had just burned down while she went on a ten-minute beer run during a celebration of their newly signed lease. (Are you liking these guys already?)
Cinders is a storefront gallery and a social hub for Brooklyn artists. Bowman says she wanted to establish a space where artists could sell their work (and other things too) to support themselves. The BBQ launch that Abi Crompton has planned at Third Drawer Down will reflect the laid-back-clubhouse thing that Cinders has going on generally.
This exhibition represents a group of artists working on paper (a favoured medium at Cinders). They include the founders Bowman and Sto, plus John Orth, George Ferrandi, Kevin Hooyman, Matthew Feyld, Julien
Langendorff, Zachary Rossman, Allyson Mellberg, Jeremy Taylor, Logan Macdonald, Justin Williams and Diane Barcelowsky (see some of them in spectacular hood outfits under the artists tab here). Think pencil, pen, paint, pop culture, punk and psychedelia. And some of the work is cheap as a slab of beer.

Forget Victoria markets, Camberwell or St Andrews markets, or any other hippy dive – Coburg Trash & Treasure is the real deal! Situated at the Coburg drive-in, it costs $1 per person to get in, unless you come from the Merri Creek bike path where you can step across rocks in the creek and climb a grassy hill and walk through a hole that’s been cut into the fence and save yourself the fee.
The name says it all: trash & treasure! It's like a hundred garage sales in one. Amongst people’s junk sprawled onto tables or blankets on the ground you can find some real gems. Videos, records, jewellery, car parts, clothes, plants, toys... you name it! It is hit and miss though, some weeks are better then others, but you should leave with at least one piece of junk that will sit on your shelf for years until you decide to have a stall at the Coburg Trash & Treasure.

The organisers say this collection of 44 black and white photographs is not a show about masterpieces. What is it then? Maybe it’s about the idea of a group. The show exhibits a group identity, and produces a kind of narrative and sense of belonging. But also dislocation, disarray and confusion. Milk crates, moving vans, junk.
The artists participating are Thomas Jeppe of Serps Press, (see his work on nownow), Tristan Ceddia, Chris Day, Tim Hillier, Ben Lichtenstein, Kate Moss, Max Olijnyk, Denny Stocks and Danny Young.
For once it’s nice to have a break from big old masterpieces and look some art in the eye. When did the NGV inspire you to get a BMX?

Brendan Huntley's Which Way To Go exhibition opening
Where:
Carlton Hotel & Studios, upper levels, 193 Bourke St, city
When:
Launching Thurs July 5, 6-9pm
Exhibition open Thus-Fri 4-8pm; Sat-Sun 12-4pm until July 15 |
|
Description:
Brendan Huntley's (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, vox) Which Way To Go displays an insight into his observations of consumption and collection. We don't want to give too much away - this one is precious - but hand-made everyday objects, reconstructed out of clay show that Huntley's has fed much love and talent and oddness into his work.
So you've been bedazzled by Brendan Huntley's creative flair on Thursday, but you just can't get enough. Why not attach yourself to his hip and go home with him? He won't mind. Curl up at the end of his bed after making him a cup of tea (chamomile and honey) he'll need it because the following night his sugar-fuelled body thrashing and on-stage antics with Eddy Current will win you over once again.

Electrolight's Sustainable Light Fitting Design Competition launch

Description:
Electrolight (the Australian architectural lighting design firm), shows that creative lighting goes beyond Swedish titles 'htspsck' and 'ghilkth'. They’re launching an exhibition at FAD Gallery this Thursday made up of entries in a recent design competition. The event responds to the Federal Government’s proposed ban (yes, another one) on incandescent light globes in 2009. From a lit-up robot to a lamp inspired by New Young Pony Club's ‘Ice Cream’ (by Melbourne’s Tai Snaith and her man), this is a weird and awesome light-globe-off type event. How cosy and wholesome for a Thursday night.

$10 on the door
Win:

|
|
Description:
Just because you've been so well behaved, we're treating you with a night out of hypnotic atmposherics from Fabulous Diamonds.
The Melbourne duo make avant garde music humbly disguised as pop minimalism. A counterpoint to all card-carrying local ‘art’ groups, this restlessly inventive Melbourne duo is without doubt the genuine article; truly experimental, defiant of glib categorisation, advanced and yet totally stoned-sounding. Together with psych-folk revivalists Kes and emotronic Bad Tables you'll be deliberating over what could be classified as post-trip-hop-reggaetronica-thrash with your lucky date.

Some people always look for a reason to party. Primitive invite you to throw confetti in aid of their first birthday. The Dead Farmers will trek from Sydney to pull a party popper over their brand new 7". And as for Eddy Current - they don't need an excuse, (but Brendan might be happy have a break from your butt pinching and overwhelming attention over the past 24 hours).

What:
Marshall Jefferson
When:
Sat July 7, 11pm
Where:
The Motel, 172 York St, South Melbourne
How much:
$28 on the door
|
|
Description:
House music legend Marshall Jefferson returns! The pioneering Chicago producer who released the iconic Move Your Body way back in 1986 will be playing his first set in Melbourne in eight years this Saturday at Yum Yum. The first man to put piano to a house beat, his productions are iconic to say the least and have a raw energy that is sadly lacking in most of today’s over produced commercial releases. Put your Headkandi CD in the bin and come hear what it was like before house went “smooth & sexy" - rarely will a Melbourne dancefloor have a such an opportunity to cut loose and get sweaty.
