- Put a bird on it! If you haven’t heard of Portlandia, make sure you’re home in front of the telly at 9pm on Thursday Feb 23 to tune in to ABC2 for the Australian premiere of the hipster-skewering comedy. The hilarious sketch series features Saturday Night Live’s Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney/Wild Flag member Carrie Brownstein in a satirical look on US hipster mecca Portland and it’s ongoing “dream of the ‘90s”. Look out for cameos by Gus Van Sant, The Decemberists, Kristen Wiig, Kyle MacLachlan and countless others. Cacao!
- The Australian Burlesque Festival will embark on a national tour this year, with its international and Australian headliners performing at the Judith Wright Centre on Saturday Jun 16. Keep an eye on www.australianburlesquefest.com for line-up details and performer profiles as they’re announced.
- The Queensland Art Gallery has acquired one of Yayoi Kusama’s giant Flowers That Bloom At Midnight, currently appearing as part of the Japanese artist’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition at GoMA (until Mar 11). Having received worldwide media attention for its Brisbane showing, Kusama’s enormously popular Obliteration Room (a white living space incrementally destroyed by patrons with sticky dots) will soon be recreated at London’s Tate Modern. Are the Brits still that envious of the Antipodes?
