This week we took a look at some breaking news from National Art School, Sydney's premier private art school. After interfering with a small student bake sale for Palestine, the management of the school held a meeting with dozens of students who wanted to know why the bake sale was shut down; whether future student activism would be dealt with in the same way; and would NAS leadership commit to stand one side of the Israel-Palestine issue? NAS Students For Palestine: @nasstudents4palestine Sevgi: @squibbbles Hung Up is now taking art school and art scene tips/gossip/whistleblower submissions. DM us at @hungup.au

For our final episode of the year, we split up to investigate the SCA and NAS grad shows which opened on the very same night. We cover the vibes of art, the artists (and their parents), the teachers and grounds of these two Sydney institutions. Sorry, COFA. Matt launches into a rant about the inner west social vibe (with examples) and then goes on to tell an unrelated disaster story. We then discuss photography again, including some insight into how fashion photography sets work. Finally, Hung up issue formal apologies for the year we've had with you. Thanks for listening this year. See you in 2024.

Hung up weighs in on Western Syd with help from our dear friend Adam (2759).

We can't get enough of this fashion talk. After a state-mandated fit check we dive back in to who's wearing what, and why. In the fibre of her being just closed up at @fairfieldcitymuseumgallery so with reference to two essays by curator of the show @sarahrosecurator and journo @nehakale , we discuss the labour-abstraction spectrum and the invisible work of weavers thru time ⏱

This week we started with a simple 21st century fit-check. What's the most important part of an outfit? Matt thinks it's pants, Aiden says no one thinks it's pants. Art show opening outfits, party outfits, work outfits. Party outfits that look like work outfits. The infamous/iconic Tabi shoe with reference to two excellent articles which you should check out by Arabelle Sicardi and Sinziana Ravini Artist of the week is Roslyn Orlando with her AI defying work, Evasion Score for the online show Soft Power at firstdraft.org.au IG links Arabelle Sicardi Sinziana Ravini Roslyn Orlando
