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.

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

This week we're on about performance. 

We mainly focus on theatre but our conversation ranged from chaturbate to immersive performance, to Trump's way of tweeting. 

Dino Dimitriadis is a curator, producer, director and actor and the founder of Apocalypse Theatre Company. 

You can find us on instagram @hungup.au

This week we cancel artists with rich parents 🙅‍♀️💰😳

Nah, but really we get into matters surrounding privilege, the inner west, the question “what school did you go to?”

We try to tease out money and privilege with reference to a white pube article.

Catch us on IG at @hungup.au

If you want to support the show, the best way is to leave a review on Apple Podcasts : )
