Curated by Rosemary Forde / Opening Friday 13 August, 6pm til late / Tunes by Jensen Tjhung / Bar / BBQ

Hell gallery presents Confusion is Next, a group show of local and international artists working with video and text. Through narrative and curious speculation the works in Confusion is Next engage with absurdity, frustration and misdirection. Incoherence and comic vulnerability make way for a productive confusion, inviting us to take comfort in the reassurance of art that understands not understanding

BRENDAN HUNTLEY / MELBOURNE ART FAIR, 2010

BRENDAN HUNTLEY

FACE VALUE

HELL GALLERY AT MELBOURNE ART FAIR 2010 / BOOTH B70

Hell Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of new work by Brendan Huntley. Face Value embraces an all-new family of ceramic vessels and paintings, expanding Brendan’s investigations into individual and collective personalities. Without telling a story, each piece stands alone as a heavily imbued object. Some are friendly, some recognizably family. Some are thuggish and foe. All are linked by a static jostling for their place within the group.

FAIRSHAKE

Friday 6th August, 2010

FAIRSHAKE @ Dingdong Lounge

Beaches / 8.30pm
"Spectral harmonies and guitar drones subverting southern rock and pretty 1960s melodies"
(The Age)

Darren Sylvester / 9.30pm
Popular visual artist, Darren Sylvester layers an infectious blend of 80s driven guitar, synth and drums

Zond / 10.30pm
Maximum volume, minimalist sound. Zond is a looming car crash of a band who leave a burning trail of destruction in their wake

Into The Void (NZ) / 11.30pm
New Zealand's statesmen of space metal, led by iconic visual artist Ronnie van Hout. A caustic, chaotic, sprawling sonic extravagance
