Garage of Stale @forepaw, 275 high st northcote throughout 11am-7pm sat-sun 23-24 aug … Oh man, we got so much shit to get rid of. Books, zines, magazines, piles of cassettes, musical instruments, electronic devices, toys, art supplies, clothing, shoes. Knick-knacks, gee-gaws and lots of flim-flam. A ridiculous, enormous Hum-Vee-like video projector supposedly “sourced” from Crown Casino. A four-draw filing cabinet. A couple of bookshelves. A cute little desk. A television with faux wood panelling. We are very keen to get this fucking garbage out of our lives so just about any offer will be accepted as long as can take the stuff away. For smaller items, we’ll be running a “Fill A Bag for 5 Bucks or so” deal, so you can gorge yourself on our unwanted stuff.

Brunswick Bound Art Attack
Ghosts of things you thought you knew or remembered that can only be seen between winter branches. (Drawings/paintings/paper pieces) Opening Tea Party: 2-4pm Saturday 16th August at Brunswick Bound upstairs of bookshop at 361 Sydney Road.
MicroFoto
What: Microscope Photo Exhibition by the Scale Free Network Featuring impressive artwork produced by the participants of the Easter school holiday Microscope Drawing Workshops at ArtPlay, and interactive activities that are guaranteed to stimulate the the imaginations of artist & scientists of all ages. Where: ArtPlay, Birrarung-Marr (behind Fed Square) When: Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th August, 1-3pm. How much: Free. More info: www.scienceweek.info.au  www.artplay.com.au www.scalefreenetwork.com.au Warning: This is not an opening, as such, in that there’s no shmoozy booze & snackage, but I’m sure there’ll be plenty of swanky wanky art talk & people standing chatting to each other right in front of the pieces so you’ll barely notice the difference… if you’re there for the art, that is…
