dRaw | Until May 1st

Went and checked out the latest from the Arterial Collective - dRaw, at that cool deco building with the shiny silver doors, 214 Williams St Northbridge.

Great range of of stuff, especially liked the architectural thread 'sketches' by Sarah Archer, the pencil retro-realisim of Lauren Fenlon and the white-on-black images of giraffes and deer advancing from their backgrounds by Kate-Anna Williams. The black (felt tip?) pointalism of Tane Andrews' pair of beetles was nice too.

The exhibition is on for another few days so if you haven't seen it yet get in soon!

Mayk No.5 | Due out 1st May

We've been in a summer version of hibernation – too many things to do and see, not enough time. We've finally got our shit together and sent our latest issue to press.

This issue will feature Mat De Konig (recently won Best Video Production at the 2008 West Australian Screen Awards and the Special Jury Award at the annual Hungarian Super 8 Film Festival), low down on living with a tribe, skating, and meal tickets.

Tanya Reynolds reviews the latest great coffee at The Imp, Vic Park (www.theimp.com.au/); highlights from the PIAF; creative writing from local writers and some cool pics and pieces.

Stay tuned for more details...

Sonic Vision | 9th - 15th May, Scitech

From May 9^th- to 15^th Scitech will be running evening sessions of Sonic Vision – an awesome animated music show featuring music from Moby, Boards of Canada, Goldfrapp, Cold Play , U2, Queens of the Stone Age and Audioslave. It is a full dome planetarium show, meaning the sounds and imagery jump out at you from all angles. You can get an idea of what to expect from the American Museum of Natural History website (http://www.amnh.org/rose/dome/), but don’t take too much from this as the website isn’t able to portray the experience of watching in the dome with surround sound and visuals. It is definitely worth seeing as it is at Scitech for one week only and is aimed specifically at an audience aged 16+. Plus its cheaper than a movie and heaps more unique! 8pm start.

See the attached document for more details. You can pay on the night or call the bookings office on 9215 0740 to pre-pay (this is recommended this so that you can be guaranteed a seat).
