White Night Melbourne. Across four sites, students, candidates and staff of RMIT School of Art have created a series of artworks that perforate the university’s city campus with light. In Swanston Street, Building 10 is shedding its skin. Turn the corner at La Trobe Street and a sequence of five video work prod, provoke and animate the windows at street level. High on the wall in Rodda Lane, a series of lightboxes leads you into the labyrinthine alleys of RMIT’s idiosyncratic architecture to three installations.

Opening out into a courtyard of respite, a scrolling landscape and rotating, morphing and absorbing forms punctuate a glass façade. A sound and light work in a basement in Bowen Street invites and excludes participation in this event. Site 1 – Building 10 façade, Swanston Street Renée Ugazio is a Melbourne-based gold and silversmithing geek who has been involved in the production of jewellery and art objects since 1998. Site 2 – Info Corner windows Site 3 – Rodda Lane and surrounds Julie Andrews Nick Berry. Curandum · Next Wave Festival · May 15-31, 2008. That’s women for you by Melissa Delaney | St Kilda Village StripFest. [tram ride from balaclava station to grey street] a german lady befriended me at the tram stop, insisting on making room for me to sit with her. she shared her story with me, she said it was about karma. she was on her way from brighton to visit her exhusband in the hospital. he had a brain tumour that was wound around his neck and up into his head. he had some removed through his nose, but now it had taken hold. he was a buddhist and a horrible man according to her. he left her and her daughters years ago to marry a chinese girl and then left the chinese girl to marry a thai girl. now his daughters sat by his bedside, holding his hands in vigil. he has only a short time to live. the lady on the tram said to me, “what does he want me to hold?

His balls?” (overheard) mother = well i went out last night with ******. the jewish man. he was sooooo funny. we went to the st kilda RSL & danced to 80′s music. son = ___________. lady [walking out of her gate] me = oooh! Melissa Delaney Like this: One moment in time by Melissa Delaney | St Kilda Village StripFest. Walking down acland street & had a flirty exchange with a bearded man wearing a shell suit who may or may not have been a hipster or a homeless man, on the footpath a corporate type did push-ups huffing & puffing into an endorphin rush, whilst in my periphery a dwarf rode by on a scooter & on the other side of the road a man wearing a kaiser helmet & riding a custom lowrider/chopper bike was smiling & nodding at passers by with his green goggly spring eyes from his novelty glasses bobbling up & down in greeting. all in one moment in time. walking to yoga class & saw an amazing building, very neogothic & shining in the dark. the garage area was open and full of prestige cars and it looked like a business so i walked up the stairs and went into the door.

“this is an amazing building,” i said to the girl inside, “what is this place?” … “it’s a brothel.” boys in little cars pick up street girls who look like office workers & the junky in a rockman’s suit nods off in prada knockoffs. At least you are being honest by Melissa Delaney | St Kilda Village StripFest. Just returned a bag i discovered at the tram stop yesterday, with passport, house keys, phone, assorted credit cards and discount cards, cherry ripe, tampons, purse and other things to the owner in st kilda at a bar she works in. her boyfriend was insistent on buying me a bottle of wine. “no thanks,” i said, “i’m not drinking at the moment.” “oh that’s okay,” he answered, “we can give some pot instead.” [overheard in the next toilet cubicle] little boy = what’s that box mummy? What does it say? Mummy = that says syringes. little boy = does the box have feelings?

I was riding a tram w’out a myki when the ticket inspectors got on. people were jumping off and trying to get off, other people were quickly swiping, i just figured i’d stay put and be honest. they got to me and i said, “i don’t have a ticket.” he asked why and i answered, “i just don’t have one.” he sat down across from me and said, “i’m going to let you off, do you know why?” I didn’t.
