INVITATION

Akira Akira
ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR (PROVISIONAL TITLE)
OPENING FRIDAY 8 MAY 6 ‑ 9PM
EXHIBITION SAT 9 UNTIL SAT 23 MAY
AT UTOPIAN SLUMPS
5/25 EASEY STREET COLLINGWOOD
GALLERY HOURS: WED‑SAT 12‑6PM
OTHER TIMES BY APPOINTMENT: 0403 009 291
Non‑profit curator‑run arts initiative Utopian Slumps is pleased to announce
the opening of ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR (PROVISIONAL TITLE) by Akira
Akira from 6 ‑ 9pm on Friday 8 May 2009.
ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR (PROVISIONAL TITLE) marks Akira¹s first
solo exhibition in Melbourne. PROVISIONAL TITLE at Utopian Slumps is the
second instalment from the ongoing series ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR,
following WORKING TITLE at Canberra Contemporary Art Space in 2008.
ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR is an ongoing project, presenting an
unstable body of work in constant transformation, a topological process
through which the artworks¹ relationships with different architectural
spaces and institutional frameworks are in constant negotiation.
At the centre of the project both physically and conceptually sits
Spillberg, an ongoing work from Akira that was first realised in late 2005.
Through a number of its physical manifestations and other investigations
undertaken concurrently, Spillberg has become a substance that contains
several varying degrees of viscosity, hence fluidity, velocity and speed
within its singularity. For PROVISIONAL TITLE, Akira continues to
investigate this idea of multi‑viscous entity in an increasingly expansive
manner by incorporating a combination of architectural fragments, geological
condensation and sculptural spillage.
Born in Japan, Akira lives and works in Adelaide, South Australia. He
completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the South Australian School of Art in
2005 and has since held several solo exhibitions including All that is solid
melts into air, Cube Contemporary Art Space, Canberra, 2008; Paint that
never dries, Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, 2006 and Modular 4,
Project Space, Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia, Adelaide, 2003.
Select group exhibitions include Persuasion Equation, Linden Centre for
Contemporary Arts, Melbourne, Against Amnesiacs! Lifestyle Showroom,
Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, 2006; Someone shows something to someone,
Canberra Contemporary Art Space, 2006; Things will be great, MOP, Sydney,
2006 and Mentor/Mentored, Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia, 2005.
Akira¹s work is held in the collection of the University of South Australia.
THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR (PROVISIONAL TITLE) will take place at Utopian
Slumps, 5/25 Easey St, Collingwood (via alley) from 9 to 23 May 2009. For
further information please contact Melissa Loughnan on 0403 009 291 or

check out UbuWeb ...it's a great site ...see below some of the many things on it.
UbuWeb | Spring 2009
Tony Oursler - Synesthesia: Genesis P-Orridge (1997-2001) Tony Oursler's Synesthesia project features interviews with twelve legendary figures in the downtown music, performance and art scenes. This video features Genesis P-Orridge, performance artist and vocalist for the iconoclastic English industrial band Throbbing Gristle in the late 1970s, pioneered industrial music. P-Orridge, who went on to form the experimental band Psychic TV, continues to work in music, art, and performance in New York, and is undertaking a long-term "Pandrogeny" project involving a radical identity transformation. These conversations reveal fascinating insights and anecdotes from some of the most influential figures in the experimental rock and art underground of the 1970s and '80s, from pre-punk innovators to post-punk icons, from industrial and avant-garde music to noise bands and No Wave.
1000 Avant-Garde Films UbuWeb now hosts 1000 avant-garde films by over 500 artists in our Film and Video section. To celebrate, we've upgraded our streaming player so that finally, UbuWeb videos can be viewed full-screen as well as embedded in your web pages and blogs. Ubu would like to salute Max Fenton for making this all possible.

TOBIAS FRERE-JONES
MAY 4–JUNE 6 2009
THE NARROWS
2/141 FLINDERS LANE
MELBOURNE AUS
Tobias Frere-Jones (b 1970, New York) spent seven years as Senior
designer at Font Bureau in Boston creating typefaces such as
Interstate – a comprehensive display font developed from highway
type specimens.
Since returning to New York in 1999, Frere-Jones has undertaken a
meticulous research project – mapping 'non-designer' typography
covering the buildings of Manhattan. Whilst contemporary type
design is digitally driven, these hand painted letters – some
constructed of steel, neon, timber and glass have become the
seed for many of Frere-Jones' typefaces.
"Public spaces are teeming with handmade sans serifs that share
the same underlying structure, an engineer's idea of "basic
lettering" that transcends both the characteristics of their
materials and the mannerisms of their craftsmen."
-Tobias Frere-Jones
Frere-Jones has designed over 700 typefaces for various client
applications and experimental projects, though none of these
have received the attention of a sans serif suitably called
Gotham. Originally commissioned by GQ Magazine and more recently
annunciating US President Barrack Obama's "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE
" campaign, Gotham (2000-) germinated from a steel sign atop the
Port Authority Bus Terminal entrance – a gem collected on his
observation trail.
This exhibition explores the process of a craftsman of
letterforms – whose practice is typically dressed in anonymity –
yet whose rigorous method and celebrated output has redirected
the observer's focus away from the sign towards the writer.
The exhibtion opens at 6pm on Monday May 4 and continues until
June 6. The gallery is open Wednesday – Friday 12-6pm and
Saturday 12-5pm or by appointment.
