LOOSE LEAF



Just over a week ago I received the first copy of Loose Leaf in the mail from Perth as I submitted a photograph. Loose Leaf is a subscription-only zine sent to your mailbox once a month.  Each issue is ten pages of stories, drawings, recipes, gardening advice, jokes, photos, opinion and current affairs, travel stories, and tons of other good things. 



You can view the first issue for free online and you know you want to:

'Scenes on the Wall' Exhibition.
"The idea behind this exhibition is really simple:
I had a huge urge to have an exhibition where I could do my paintings directly on the wall.. So I started to seek for a place where I could execute my idea (without paying expensive gallery rentals). I wanted to keep this exhibition as much as DIY as possible. So, after seekin’, I finally found one place from local social center.  They gave me one white room, which they weren’t using at the time, for free use of mine to execute my ideas (for free!). I tried to create a own small world of mine to this room. I choose a consistent selection from my old stencils and painted my pieces."

Ali and the Crooked Rib 35 min

Initiated and produced by the City of Melbourne's Arts and Participation Program, Ali and the Crooked Rib is a documentary film by Thomas Baricevic exploring the artistic collaboration between Crooked Rib and UK-based 'spiritual' street artist Mohammed Ali (aka Aerosol Arabic) in Melbourne during 2009. Mohammed was invited to Melbourne with the support of the British Council after the Crooked Rib expressed an interest to collaborate on a street art mural which remains in Sparks Lane in the heart of the CBD.







About the venue




The opening for the exhibition tonight is located at 361 Little Lonsdale Street, City of Melbourne. 

I must admit, I absolutely adore 1000 £ Bend. It is such a wicked place. I find myself coming here a lot. Some reasons include the $2 coffees in the morning, lovely food, FREE WIFI, the cosy atmosphere with couches, and the rotating exhibitions, installations and cinema!
