Icarus rises again this Sunday

Following the resounding success of last year's The Fall of Icarus, this Sunday we present another contemporary art show - Icarus II: The Rise.

The exhibition showcases recent work by 30 local young artists who tackle a diverse range of issues, from addressing questions of multiculturalism and ethnicity, to exploring the relationship between sound and ritual. 

There'll be a series of performances throughout the event, as well as installation pieces, all covering a wide variety of practices and disciplines, including abstract painters, claymation, surreal mime, spoken word and sculptural work that examines the affects of the male gaze.

Hi Everyone

Now you might be surprised to hear this, but yesterday they held the Most Honest Politician of the Year Contest.  You will probably be less surprised to hear that nobody won!
