It’s a big week for Neon Parc. Not only are they opening Lane Cormick’s bold (and sometimes beautiful) photographic snapshots, they’re also Presenting I Dig Your Voodoo with Auckland gallery Gambia Castle at Joint Hassles in Northcote.
Like his friends at Neon, photographer, film-maker and ‘endurance based performer’ Lane is not one to do things half-heartedly. In a move that puts Easy Rider to shame,he’ll kick off his exhibition on a 1986 CR250 Honda dirt bike – a freewheeling nostalgia also reflected in his photographs.
Be nice and Lane might give you a lift to the other side of town, where at Joint Hassles Newton’s Law is suspended and the extraordinary reigns. Showing the work of both local and Kiwi artists like Jennifer Bartholomew, Simon Denny and Tahi Moore, the gallery will house ‘pottery on prozac and chemically assisted stoner posters’. Don’t ask Lane to drive you home.

Creative processes are something we as consumers of end-product culture don’t often hear about. But tonight and tomorrow night Rooftop Cinema offers a rare opportunity for insight into the inspiration behind the work of labels Lover and Karen Walker as Showcase One of The Fashion in Film Retrospective project premiers.
Inspired by the interaction between fashion, film and ideas, Un-Making asked a selection of fashion, art and design personnel from Australia and New Zealand to nominate films that have informed their creative process.
Tonight see Wes Anderson’s 2001 take on the ‘Deadbeat Dad’ genre in The Royal Tenenbaums as presented by Lover and Fat4, or spend a cosy Thursday evening watching Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as Midwestern murderers when Karen Walker presents Terrence Mallick’s 1973 classic Badlands.

If they hadn’t already appointed the King of Moomba for this year, here’s a man who would be well in the running: Herbie, of Herbie’s Healthy Lunches has recently burst onto Melbourne’s scene, delivering ridiculously cheap and healthy lunches to people around town on a silver tray.
Here’s what happens: once you email Herbie, he sends you the following week’s menu on a Tuesday. You choose your lunches and email your order before 5pm that Thursday. If you order one for each weekday, you get one free! So that’s $24 for a whole week of lunches, which is better than a poke in the eye with a chopstick. The only catch is, Herbie visits in the mornings, so you’ll need a microwave, open fire or similar receptacle to warm up your lunch.
Herbie’s meals are vegetarian, low GI, and made from fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Check the website for a complete menu of recipes, as well as a list of the music Herbie listens to as he cooks. But word is spreading quickly, so email Herbie before he gives up cheffing and takes over the world.
