Running to America: a movie about Indigenous runners
by
Coming back from the Big Apple is the unlikely team of Australian Indigenous runners which has been selected to be a part of an Australian first marathon project. Famous marathon runner Robert De Castella is behind it all and his dream is to find an Indigenous Olympian. The movie about it, Running to America, is being aired in December 2011. Keep the running shoes handy because you’re going to be inspired.

Resin triceratops by Abdul-Rahman
Consisting of resin, timber and found objects, Abdul-Rahman recreates toys and other nostalgic figures from childhood. My favorite piece of his is the surprisingly large one of a triceratops, which has been ultra realistically crafted.
Jeremy Geddes is my favorite undiscovered painter. His work is mesmerizing in narrative and particularly in technique. He spends months on one painting!
The genius cinematic remixing skills of Pogo
When I heard Pogo’s work on YouTube, I smiled. It brought me into a nostalgia of warm memories, and for that, I’ve been a closer follower ever since. His profound skill to extract audio and recombine it, capturing the overall sense of the film, is genius.

HAVE YOUR SAY
While I am as impressed as anyone with an artist’s ability to render accurate and lifelike human figures, I’m more often compelled aesthetically by looser and more stylized images such as Camilla Engman’s.

A lot of Dain Fagerholm’s work is cute and would be appropriate for a children’s book, but it’s his more meticulously rendered, creepy images that really strike me. What can I say, I’m a sucker for monsters. Read more

Metronomy are a cool little London-based group headed by producer and remix extraordinaire, Joseph Mount. The sound sits somewhere between Autechre and Vitalic: clanging keyboards and body-gurning beats laced with an undercurrent of ominous electronica. It’s not as inaccessible as much of the more twisted electro-based stuff out there at the moment, although it retains an edge perhaps unpalatable for some ears. Yet there’s a catchiness to it that is clearly roping in the crowds: their live shows are a spectacle, complete with synchronised dancing and flashing costumes. If that floats your boat, they’re playing for free at the Tate Britain, London, on 27 September.
