We go to 

@schmickcontemporary and talk about @rkshanahan show ‘the invisible hand’.

The gallerist interrupts our nice time by projecting his race anxieties onto our friend.

This week we were supposed to talk about the opening at @firstdraft_ and the first show at @prop.gallery but instead we kind of just ranked every type of pizza available in Sydney. We did end up talking about Dan @b_odies reading in the @ichikawaedward room. 

This week we chat to Corey Black about his practice, what he's been reading, the social nature of insects and way more than i can fit in this description

Corey Black's last show was the NAS postgrad show.

See him on IG @orfyn

We are on IG @hungup.au

We get into our faves from a whip around the NAS post grad show on its last day. We chat works by:

Corey Black : @orfyn

Luca Blasonato : @lucaa__b

Claire Wigney : @wigneyclare

Madeleine Feist @feistfeist

Joseph Christie Evans @joseph.cristieevan_s

Thanks for listening!

Aiden and Matt give triple A gaming a decent seeing-to: Can video games with bad scripts be moving? How many people know the layout of de_dust better than their own house? Do conventions ruin games for non-gamers? 

This episode also features an interview with Billie Robertson aka @mud_grub who was minding a souvenir shop/shrine at the NAS post grad show.

Chill out with Sydney's only hyper local art lad pod. 

This week we do a show-and-tell with all the art we’ve accumulated over the history of the show. Featured beloved local artists include:

Lucy Bird, Matt Gorgula, Alvin Willy, Casey Chen, Jackie De Lacy and EJ Son. We're also forced to talk about bored apes.

We can’t get enough of this fashion talk. After a state-mandated fit check we dive back in to who’s wearing what, and why.

In the fibre of her being just closed up at @fairfieldcitymuseumgallery so with reference to two essays by curator of the show @sarahrosecurator and journo @nehakale , we discuss the labour-abstraction spectrum and the invisible work of weavers thru time ⏱🪡

This discussion revolved around works by Linda Sok and the @tjanpidesertweavers : Ngilan Dodd, Puna Yanima, and Mrs M. Bennett

And drum roll please….. Our artist of the week this week is @lendasok ! whose extraordinary work Mending Fragments of a Memory totally captivated us with its clever use of materials to inform a narrative.

See you next time : )

This week we started with a simple 21st century fit-check. 

What's the most important part of an outfit? Matt thinks it's pants, Aiden says no one thinks it's pants.

Art show opening outfits, party outfits, work outfits. Party outfits that look like work outfits.

The infamous/iconic Tabi shoe with reference to two excellent articles which you should check out by 

Arabelle Sicardi and 

Sinziana Ravini 

Artist of the week is Roslyn Orlando with her AI defying work, Evasion Score for the online show Soft Power at firstdraft.org.au
