  • WE LIKE...

  • A new exhibition at Freshly Baked Gallery opens in an hour. Apart from that I know nothing about it. Which is actually making me kind of excited. I mean I know it’s an online 3D gallery based in Melbourne, and I know their past exhibitions have included art that you can browse online or buy and have shipped in a matter of days, but I know nothing about their new Winter Set which is launching in oh, an hour.

    I like art, and I like art openings, but today I can’t be bothered to get out of bed and despite the fact that real art openings are probably more free drinks rewarding, all I really need to do is get Steph over with some cheap champagne and sit with me around the computer screen as we drink it out of plastic glasses, quietly judging each other’s outfits and murmuring about how much more we liked the artists’ earlier work. Way to cut out that pesky middle-man!

    http://freshlybakedgallery.com/. In an hour.
    And you don’t even have to put pants on.

    [UPDATE]: Ape Seven, Mephisto Jones, Max Berry, Alastair Mooney, Aida Sabic, Dan Foothead, Baden Pailthorpe, Caitlin Rigby and Satta van Daal….
