The Cone of Silence
One - stairs
15th Sep - 26th Sep
The site-specific work 'Cone of Silence: First Site' creates a sound-proofed, acoustically 'private' space within a public institution. Designing for the future of urban spaces, this work looks at the importances of acoustic privacy in public life. It's a place to get away from it all for a while. A spot to think, feel or dream in. A quiet spot of sonic solitude whilst still in 'public'.

Scale of Mark
Gallery one, two & three
15th Sep - 26th Sep
Scale of Mark is an exhibition of contemporary sculptural works by Caleb Shea, Kristina Sundstrom, Benjamin Roberts and Carrie McGrath. It is an experimental and process driven investigation into spatial experience. Scale, volume and mass. Movement and rhythm. Materiality of the object. Colour and pattern. Density. Volume. Physical presence.
Well, well! What a busy week we're coming into in the Melbourne Art world! Kicking off tomorrow afternoon, with the next round of RMIT's ALAB (Arts Law/Arts Business) Workshops. Presented by the Union (ARTS), Pip Carroll of Ambiguous Horse will be speaking from 4pm, about arts publicity and marketing in the University Function Room on the City Campus. While this discussion is free to attend, bookings ARE ESSENTIAL. So if you are infact interested, I would recommend contacting Jodie Lawson first thing tomorrow morning so you don't miss out! RSVP either by email on jodie.lawson@rmit.edu.au or by telephone on 9925 2206.
From there I plan on making a quick stop in at First Site to check out the new exhibitions (pictured above and sourced from the Union ARTS Launch page), and take note of fashions of the famous, before I unfortunately have to dash off to workies.
Then on Thursday, Within Earshot Collective Presents: AUDIBLE BUFFET. Evidently, this is some sort of sound-type event and not a food related festival as I had originally suspected. However, this IS yet another collective project supported by the RMIT Union (ARTS), goddammit am I writing the arts magnet newsletter with images for heck sake?
Anyways, it does sound like an intriguing way to fill in a Thursday evening, kicking off from 7.30 pm at Horse Bazaar, 397 Little Lonsdale Street
Meanwhile, the VCA kids are continuing their campaign to SAVE THE VCA, and have 12,007 fans on their Face Book page, and have extended the hand in date for their SAVE VCA petition to September 28th. In other SAVE VCA Campaign news, the group shall be rallying at the Victorian State Parliament this from 9.45am this Wednesday, September 16th, to gather signatures and attend the Parliament discussion over their situation. They are encouraging as many people to attend as possible, and recommending that attendees don their SAVE THE VCA T-shirts, or at least something 'outrageously' colourful.
And from all reports, the Positive Posters fundraising and launch party held on Saturday night was a massive success with the 'Not For Profit' raising almost double the amount of money they had aimed for!! Unfortunately, I was unable to make it in due to work commitments and the general droll of needing to pay bills and such, however I am hoping that they make good on their hints at a possible Halloween party - I do love a good Halloween party after all!Oh, don't forget that the MelbOURne FRINGE Festival kicks off from September 23rd, and I know that's next week, but the program guide is out now, (available either online or around the city too) and I'd suggest getting your hands on a copy and booking tickets to the events you fancy THIS week to avoid disappointment!
I might leave this post here for tonight and continue to trawl the net and various other trusted sources for more events for the week.
