So, here’s an idea: ‘I got a writer — a long time partner in collaboration, Katherine Danks — to write me a short story, with the knowledge that I was going to add images to it. I’ve taken the story and produced three separate books — one typographic, one illustrated and one photographic. The exhibition space has three chairs, with a book at each chair. The viewer is invited to sit and read each book, then give feedback on how the different treatments affected their reading of the story’. This is the project of Sydney-based creative Zoe Sadokierski whose ‘Sundays’ exhibition is running during March at the Dab Lab at the UTS gallery space. Read more

Rhaianuledada (Songs To Sissy) was recorded at Vicolo Recording Studio in Sicily by Fabio Genco and was mastered by Luca Martegani in Varese. Listen to the track Honeysuckle Gal.

One Last Ounce is an experimental project exploring surreal imagery on an abstract cut. Says designer Jake Jelicich on his creative rationale: ‘I wanted to make thin, unique, comfortable tees that flowed and moved with the night. And I wanted the art to be dark, but sarcastic, mystical and inspiring, all in the same glance. These shirts are about long nights with good friends, being spontaneous, and letting the street lights guide you home’. Read more
