Fly­ing Nun artist Grayson Gilmour

City Gal­lery is cur­rently exhib­it­ing Round­about, a major col­lec­tion of bold, bright and wicked-as works from emer­ging artists from around the world. It’s well worth a vis­it.

Part of Round­about is 48,000 Revolu­tions, a piece by Fly­ing Nun founder Roger Shep­herd. He’s selec­ted 24 hours worth of songs, which ran­domly play. There is also – and this is the most import­ant details – a couch on which you can plonk your weary arse and just enjoy his excel­lent taste in music.

Related to this the Open City event at the gal­lery of Thursday night (14 Octo­ber). The gal­lery sez:

Art after dark takes a Fly­ing Nun twist with present­a­tions and per­form­ance at City Gal­lery. Begin­ning with icon­ic Fly­ing Nun founder Roger Shep­herd in con­ver­sa­tion with Mark Wil­li­ams, the even­ing also includes a present­a­tion by Jed Town of Fetus Pro­duc­tions, fol­lowed by a per­form­ance from recent Fly­ing Nun sign­ing, Grayson Gilmour. With the gal­ler­ies open and presenters from 6pm, settle in for the even­ing – there’s even a cash bar from Nikau.

$5 entry, free for City Gal­lery Friends.

Sounds bloody excel­lent, yeah. If you like art and music, you should go.
