from The World Tree exhibition page on undergowth.org :

Protestors gather under the tree of life as bulldozers approach. Televisions vomit endless waterfalls of information. A disembodied totem of animal, vegetable and mineral world stares at you in profile. The city speaks in confusing angles where we lose perspective. The world tree is burning while man meditates under its shade.

"The World Tree" is an exhibition of new paintings by Melbourne artist Tim Parish, co-founder and art director of Undergrowth.org at Open Studio

The opening night will include music from Kafka and performance artist Si on Sunday the 15th of June at 7pm.

C a l l f o r A r t i s t s - Exploring Your Invisible Paradise! 30-10 till 02-11-2008

DEADLINE EXTENDED - Submit your work until 9th of June 2008

Take this opportunity to participate in the 2nd edition of Image Radio – a young festival for new ideas in digital culture, taking place in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

The festival is also an experiment, critical reflection, and preview of how new media in public space impact our cultural, social and physical surroundings. The increase of display devices, data clouds, sensor networks, particularly in urban centers, provides a new medium. Public space becomes a playground in which dynamic and manipulative data influence our perception. Potential applications are shown in experimental installations. Theory, discussion and exchange on these topics are facilitated in the seminar program and symposium.

Speech and the faculty of meta-reflection about one's language are inherent characteristics of human beings. All projects shown in the exhibition YOU OWN ME NOW UNTIL YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. are originally Internet-based artworks. The main common ground is their starting point in the exploration of our language with its arbitrary systems and rules, its corresponding functions within society, as well as with its absurdities and restrictions for the individual. Rather than to focus on the isolated - literary/literally - artwork, the exhibition highlights general artistic tendencies leading to a discursive process, which originates from the Internet and finds its way back to the "virtualities of our real life".

Besides general information and documentation about YOU OWN ME NOW UNTIL YOU FORGET ABOUT ME. the website of the exhibition includes the possibility to extend the concept as well as the list of selected works of art. Just go to http://www.youownmenow.net, enter a link of your own choice plus short link-description and submit your preferred work of art. Thank you for your participation!

Sunday is the annual Newtown Festival and despite the festival being 'fenced off' it still promises to be a day of too much liquor and sun, too much dust and a welcome return of scruffiness to the north end of Newtown. At the Camperdown Memorial Park you can catch a bunch of great sounds at the 2SER stage (on the Camperdown/Hopetoun St side of the park) all day including our many of our friends - all totally free!
