Finding success in the music industry can be a challenging task – to say the least – while a handful of artists can find success, most struggle to earn a living and many buckle under the strain. After six years and dealing with more than a few ups-and-downs, hard-core Melbourne band Mill Perra, have reunited with a newly found passion and determination that could boost the group to new heights.
Your mission (if you’re mad enough to accept it) is to create a four to seven minute film in 48 hours. The film must include the line: “Where the bloody hell are ya mate.” (from that shit-house Australian Tourism commercial). Your film genre is Film de Femme, (whateva that means). The prop is a Piggy Bank and your character is Lili Walker (profile unknown), who both need to appear somewhere in the film. OK, GO!
With a career spanning 16 years, including exhibitions in the UK and USA, 36-year-old artist Josh Lord has emerged with some of his finest work to date. Thought provoking and confronting, his latest exhibition entitled: When It Was Yesterday, is both an inspiring collection of urban artwork and a confronting image of the (post) modern world. The exhibition features 32 new works on display at the FAD Gallery on Corrs Lane, until Nov 15. To find out more, Lord gave the Mooks Report an insight into his latest work and the inspiration behind it…
Isn’t it rad the sheer quantity of weird shit you can find on the internet, particularly art these days. There’s so many weirdos out there doing any number of sick things to themselves (or insects), for the sake of art. Take the Dead Fly art for example, some bored asshole had too much time on his hands so he decided to gather a bunch of fly’s, kill them, then position them in any number of sick fetish positions, photograph it, and post it on the internet. I mean to be honest they’re pretty f**ken funny, my personal favourite is the dead fly riding a horse (above) – hilarious – but if there’s people out there doing this sort of art, it makes you wonder what some of the real weirdos are doing (and when do we get to see)? By the way, I tried to track down the Dead Fly weirdo to credit these photos, but couldn’t find the little bugger anywhere. So if anyone knows who it might be, please comment on this one and help me out (I think he might be Swedish). At the very least I’d like to find out how he gathered the fly’s, but for now we can only hope they died of natural causes (fat chance)…
Berlin, situated in the Northern area of former-East Germany, is positively (b)rimming with creative excursions this week. Here are a couple of our picks to help any of you out there wash those winter willies (quite literally) away.
Whether you’re an obsessed motorbike fan, part time fan or never been a fan, I think we can all agree there’s something spectacular and frightening about watching a motorbike rider hurdle himself into a corner at over 300km per hour. Especially while clinging to a fancy looking two wheeled – motor driven – work of art. Maybe, it’s the ferocious roar of the engines as they weaving their way round the circuit, or perhaps it’s the thrill of imminent danger that the riders face on a daily basis. But for this Mooks reporter, it’s all about the racing atmosphere. Every year around the same time, the picturesque Victorian peninsular of Phillip Island erupts to the ferocious sound of the Moto Grand Prix World Championships. |
