Firstly – the Flaming Lips are good, and way to go 2Day FM production team, someone’s getting fired and your station is terrible. “Throw Shapes: just like Twitter, but without so much of the Twitter.”
In non rape-related news, and recognising the beauty of that phrase as an opener to any sentence, there’s an exhibition opening at Parramatta Artists Studios that looks good enough to blog. I’m Worse At What I Do Best has been curated by Tom Polo, who also does good things with garbage. The group show involves ten artists using everyone’s favourite tools – irony, self-deprecation and defeatism – to make things for us to look at.
[clears throat] Let us engage with the novelty of our downfalls and our aspirations as we march towards the uncertainty of our future!

They’ve got some high-profile and some emerging artists, including work by blog-cum-ABC-miniseries-the art life’s Andrew Frost, ever-provocative Simon Pericich and the infamous Anastasia Klose. A bit of a Wiki on Anastasia Klose will surface these sentences: “In 2005 Klose filmed a video of herself engaging in sexual intercourse with a with a fellow art student in a disabled toilet at the VCA entitled In The Toilets With Ben, and later the same year filmed Mum And I Watch In The Toilets With Ben, where Klose and her mother viewed the former video together sitting on a couch.“ So there’s that, too.
It’s opening Friday, 31 July 2009, 6pm with a speech from Judith Blackall, the MCA’s Head of Artistic Programs – but if you miss that, the show will be showing (?) until October 9 at Parramatta Artist Studios, 45 Hunter Street Parramatta.
