Nine Lives ‘Feed The Cat'
Think of your four-legged friend when you neck that cold (or relatively cold) FREE beer, while you and your fancy pants take a spin of the gallery floor. Looking smart, deep and cultured whilst you swill and think how cool it would be to own a cheque book. You'll remember your four-legged friend when the beer runs out and the art stops being hung - you'll wish you had that cheque book and you'd brought something in aid of supporting not only your favourite Friday night hang out, but your local artists and curators.
Go Font Ur Self #4
Typography is hard work. Do you remember your hands suffering under the weight of the adjustable triangle? The standard alphabet stencil ruler with that annoying bubble font that your pen was too thick to fit into - the one that made it into the hearts and minds of any school child under the age of 12? This stuff takes years to hone, my friends.
Back Up Launch
You might remember six months ago - yes, I know, sometimes it's hard to remember how many candles you blew out last birthday - BUT, this you would have remembered. Leg Up - the artist designed range of high-waisted tights. You remember! Of course you do. You still have fond memories of the warm stretchy comfort they provided you through the winter and all the compliments you got on how original they were.
Andrew Gordon is Untitled
What:
Untitled (formerly known as life is beautiful) - New Paintings by Andrew Gordon
Where:
Nine Lives, 330 Brunswick St. Fortitude Valley (above Mellinos)
When:
Fri Oct 23, 6pm. Runs weekends til Sun Oct 31
How Much:
Free too look, more to take away
Description:
Andrew Gordon is a bit of a troubadour. And in true vagabond style, his art is real life. I think he heard the joke 'What did the masochist say to the sadist?' 'Punch me.' How did the sadist reply? 'No' and made it a visual reality. OK, there's a beacon of hope in there too; lucid living ain't dead yet.
Stimulus: art
Stimulus: Life
New York Buck
Dane Beesley is one of those Brisbane anomalies. A man after your own heart, living through the lens Dane went in search of that darn big apple in New York City. Taking a bite big enough to break your jaw, he has returned home with a pocket full of used film and some livin' on the edge stories to tell.

TGIF really has come a very long way in this burgeoning town of ours. Yeh, a few years ago you would have sufficed with some after work drinks at Friday's (naturally). Hey, you can't be blamed - it was considered a hot place to be.
Nowadays there are more options, beside the obvious list of cooler places to drink; there's a gallery above Mellino's that's giving Brisbane a Brooklyn style and everyone is sipping on cold beers, talking art and possibility.
Secrets & Shambles, Briars & Brambles: Luke Shirlaw and Elena Mullaly
We all thought the decisive creative moment was dead, what with the endlessness of sleek fashion shoots and the co-option of Helvetica into every facet of advertising (although it's probably the only font that actually works). We all thought those tacky magic happens bumper stickers were for Fiona Horne wannabes (they are).
