Zine Fair 1- 6pm
Degraves Subway

"Sticky Institute spills out into the Degraves St subway with the return of Melbourne’s legendary zine fair, with over 60 tableholders of zinemakers converging from all around Australia to celebrate the zine and it’s love affair with the typing machine.

Romantic interludes will be layered with the passion of quintet Collectivo29 playing the golden era of Argentinian Tango to the clacking of typewriters and trading of zines.Institute appointed typewriter technician Tom will be on hand to tenderly tend to all your manual portable typewriter problems free of charge on the day, and Sticky’s inhouse Love Secretary will be there tapping out love letters for popular consumption."

If You Touch It - You'll Get Dirty

Scarlett Mellows 

Scarlett has been an inspiring and hard working member of the JTAY family for three years. On behalf of the Zine, we would like to congratulate her on her Graduate Exhibition for her Visual Arts course at RMIT University.

Here are some of her works from 2010, where she gracefully explored her own conflicting relationship with nature.


Words from the artist: 

"As we move into an increasingly plastic, electronic, and robotic culture we are rapidly tearing away from our animal nature. Current technologies allow us to remove ourselves from our own physical bodies and to experience life through the digital means (television, computers, film and photos). I want my artworks to represent how humans either try to relate to or differentiate themselves from nature. Characters in my work may attempt to make personal connections to nature or find their place in the natural world through masquerading or acting like a being they feel belongs to nature or holds a stronger bond to nature. "

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

As you all know, we’ve been quiet the last couple of months, but that does not mean we haven’t been busy! We are thrilled to begin the New Year as we already have lots of exciting events coming up that you will hear about soon. Here are two beautiful photographs taken by Scarlett Mellows from one of her summer adventures at Cairn Curran.
