| Crypt Orchid A group exhibition of Goth art Sponsored by Dr Martens Artists from Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra have come together to present Crypt Orchid - an exhibition of paintings, photography, digital art, collage and sculpture from Australia�s Gothic sub-culture. Crypt Orchid, curated by Mark S. Holsworth, presents a wide-cross section of old and new school Gothic art. Many of the artists have exhibited their work in previous shows, or had their work published in Goth Nation magazine. Like an orchid growing in a crypt, the exhibition evokes the surreal, the dark and the fantastic. While not attempting to define the genre, the exhibition will provide an insight into its imagination. Building on two decades of Goth sub-culture, particularly in Melbourne, the exhibition aims to expand insight and inspiration from the scene�s fashion and music to the visual arts. Artists exhibiting include Danielle Akayan, Aneta Bozic, Lady Hannah Cadaver, Tim Harris, Mark S. Holsworth, Josella Rye, Elizabeth Sears, Shane Sutton and Xtian. Artholes Gallery 128 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy 3065 Tues-Sat 10.00 to 5.00, Sun 12.00 to 5.00 19th Sept - 1st Oct. 2003 For more information and images www.geocities.com/gothexhibition or contact Mark Holsworth at [email protected] or (03) 9383 5375 |

| Auction : Charity Auction of Art Boots Sponsored by Dr Martens Proudly supporting Oxfam Community Aid Abroad A charity auction supporting Oxfam Community Aid Abroad of Dr Martens boots painted by goth artists. The funds raised are used to support Oxfam Community Aid Abroad�s development projects in 30 countries around the world. Dr Martens boots have become canvases for a group of goth artists. Dr Martens boots are an icon of the goth and other subcultures and now these iconic boots are becoming works of art. As part of Crypt Orchid, a group exhibition of goth art, 9 artists have transformed 9 pairs of Dr Martens boots into works of goth art. Dr Martens donated the boots and the artists have decorated them in their own styles. Some of the boots are wearable while others have become strange sculptures. All will be auctioned and all proceeds will go to Oxfam Community Aid Abroad. The auction will take place on Sat. 27th at 1 pm at Artholes Gallery, 128 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. The art/boots will be on exhibit at Artholes from 19th Sept - 1st Oct. 2003.
