The tinygold shows are an annual cult event known for championing the works of emerging Queensland artists. Returning this winter with Tales from the Cold Ghost III, the organisers promise a bigger show, with a three week celebration involving an exhibition, live gigs, an afterparty, an arts-networking day and a fashion parade. Among the 95 works being featured are Liam Mathers' ‘cheeky' vinyl bedwares and Simone Eisler's mummified barramundi-scaled dolls and sculptures from oyster shells (the artist is actually allergic to oysters).
Also a highlight is Sue-Ching Lascelles' textile screen-grabs from that zany TV series COPS! (the artist is actually allergic to being arrested). So if you crave a local plethora of exciting, experimental and socially-quirky artworks then start your first night of August with the arty types at tinygold. And witness as the Gold Coast delights itself into cultural puberty.

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
