Notes
One Hand Loose
Smoking twin-guitar free-form skuzz, metronomic neo-Kraut vamping, or loose-limbed hayriding hootenanny? One hand Loose is all of the above and more.
Artist interview
The World is an Abstracting Machine
Australian artists David Haines and Joyce Hinterding live and work in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. Working in a collaborative partnership as Haines & Hinterding, they explore the unseen energies that surround us through an artistic practice that incorporates science, the occult and philosophy. Bulletin editor David Simpson spoke to the artists in October 2016.

Cotton talk at Ilam
This past weekend was the last chance to see Shane Cotton's mighty Haymaker series down at the Ilam Campus Gallery.

Two 8-foot mirror finished steel gnomes in climbing harnesses are spectacle enough without the need for word play.
Notes
Hacked Off
A topical (or recently topical at least) work from our collection today, from none other than William Hogarth.
