Wolfgang Baas is a young dance and multimedia artist who is fast developing a reputation for creating surreal, confronting and powerful movement

We love our laneways so much that we are trying to make new ones, writes Suzy Freeman-Greene. What's in a lane? It depends where you are. In Drewery Lane, you'll find the back end of shops, locked gates, hanging pots, the Celebrity Wig Store, trees, distressed bricks and second-hand books. Posters for a concert - Music For a Cleaner Future - are stuck on a freshly painted, tan wall.

I like the city because it shelters my madness from those who can not appreciate it's a labour of love. I  like the city because it allows my dreams to rest in the gutter or take refuge in a young urban girl's hair. I like the city because I  ride  the trains and  realise how insignificant we are. I like the city because I can pretend to be in a hurry and apologise for arriving early. I like the

Everyday i come out of Parliament station and there on the corner is this homeless guy.He sits on the pavement and  attempts to sell drawings to the people walking by.. Sometimes he draws  directly on the pavement with pastels. The output  is quite bad and overall the whole image is pathetic and sad. No one seems to take much notice of this poor creature but i figure he must make   something, he

 Yesterday I was at the Melbourne Zoo. Good crowd, fine  whether..Melbourne at its casual best. It had been sometime since I had visited the Zoo and I was impressed by the look of the place. Of particular interest was the new Orangutan enclosure...well relatively new...open for 2 years.

The dust may have settled following last week’s protests in which 2000 people lobbied to save The Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) but the public outcry continues. What’s proving most problematic for those such as the Dean of the VCA Sharman Pretty, is the widespread negative media coverage.
