Cheeky Freak Of The Week

Text: Tristan Ceddia


The Cheeky Freak this Friday The 13th is Melbourne artist Misha Hollenbach, who features in this months issue of The Blackmail. One half P.A.M (Perks And Mini), one quarter The Changes, Misha’s latest expedition in the art world STOOL unleashes itself on Sydney at Black & Blue Gallery in Redfern tonight. Fresh off the back of his first solo show Indispensable Duties at Y3K gallery in Melbourne last month, and upon return from SNAP! with American photographer Peter Sutherland in Tokyo, STOOL shoots again into the uncharted world of fecal art. “Everybody poos. Had to do this as my first show, clear my proverbial bowels, and ’start’ the (art) day.” Words from the man himself!

If you are in Sydney this weekend, check out STOOL at Black & Blue Gallery tonight, then head to GoodGod for Mountain Folds Gold Shoulder featuring Naked On The Vague, Free Choice Duo and the Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys. If partying wild is more your style, head to the Civic where BangGang 12s launch their latest greatest along side Bag Raiders, Shazam, Doom, Hoodrat, Dangerous, Cassian and Flight Facilities.

On Saturday, take the trip out to Penrith Regional Gallery for Uniform: Japan Photos by Harold David who we also feature this month. Saturday night, if you are up for a double dose, Misha is spinning records with Toecutter, Golden Ron and Chimmy Sing at GoodGod Small Club. Lots to do!

Tonight in Melbourne be sure to check out Scott & Charlenes Wedding, Beaches and our mates The Twerps 7″ launch at the Abruzzo Club, 377 Lygon St Brunswick East.
