| | A million miles away from the over done gloss of Jamie, Nigella and co., Cookbook is that rare breed: the kind of recipe book you won't feel compelled to hide behind the rice cooker when guests come over.
Divided into three courses with accompanying colour code, typeface and linocut artwork by Ned Culic, Jon Campbell and Tin & Ed, Cookbook showcases twenty-four favourite home-style recipes from local food luminaries such as Neil Perry of Rockpool. Though the brief is stretched a tad by the likes of Ben Shewry's 'Carrots cooked in earth with wild onions and clover', it's all doable, especially if you have access to a shovel and don't mind getting your hands dirty. The message here seems to be that food, much like publishing, should be approached with ambition and imagination. | | It's a limited run of 250 individually numbered copies hand-printed onto thick card 'pages' thanks to an old letter press, with all profits donated to The Australian AIDS Fund. This makes Cookbook both a beautiful thing and an impeneterable fortress of goodness. By Max Olijnyk | | | | | | |

| | Those keen on synthesizer acts Free Choice Duo, Matthew Brown and Hochman and Hopkins will appreciate Brooklyn's Oneohtrix Point Never; one Daniel Lopatin, who similarly deals in ululating tone fields, but with added science fiction ice and eeriness. Lopatin moves DIY trend-interests in 70s space mysticism towards more 80s-tinged, isolate territories in which the overall feeling is less of cosmic peace than of alien unknowing - Zones Without People, as one album is named, cut with dark, Tokyo-skyline type sublimity. | | Rifts collects OPN's three latest albums - Betrayed in the Octagon, Zones Without People and Russian Mind - over two CDs, the combined futurism of which is staggering. Lopatin's simple technique is to set scale snippets after themselves, turning ad infinitum as if inside a mirrored box, then to douse the clocking patterns in flaring sounds of solar dawn. The effect is immediate: inexplicable, almost precognitive. Dreamy types with a fondness for 80s sci-fi will queer for these two hours of transcendent pop. By Mark Gomes | | | | | | |

| | Centuries of radical concepts and invention have gifted mankind with a veritable panorama of high tech tools - the cassette wallet, the scratchie card and the affirmative dish. The Finders Keepers independent design and art market offers a highly filtered scattering of such things.
Here you may make irregular choices - like putting ideas before price and conversation before wine - all while digesting the local live sound, two fashion rooms and a new featured artist space. | | No market would be complete without punk zines, art periodicals, visual essays and casual literature, which TwoThousand will conveniently be providing at our Publishing Stand.
By filling a concrete warehouse with burgeoning heads and their epiphanies, The Finders Keepers creates a loot heavy territory for finding, buying and keeping, giving our local inventors a good excuse to keep on cooking. By Lisa Lerkenfeldt | | | | | | |

| | Taking a retrospective glance at a contemporary artist can be a difficult thing. In trying to collate a group of work to represent their practice, museums often fall short. But Danish-born artist Olafur Eliasson has combated this tendency with Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson, an exhibition that plays with and against our understanding of how one can experience a museum and its works.
Originally realised by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this is the first time the exhibition will be shown outside of the US and includes early apparatus works like the luminous curtain of mist, 'Beauty' (1993). While the scale of the exhibition can be overwhelming, each situation that Eliasson creates has a tangible and specific sense of time. With 'Moss wall' (1994) and '360° A Room for All Colours' (2002), it seems as though Eliasson is asking you to take a moment; to consider how one can engage rather than simply observe an artwork. | | This critical interaction that Eliasson evokes extends beyond the walls of the MCA. In collaboration with the MCA, TwoThousand has been curating a micro-site of reviews, reports and commentaries of the artist's multi-faceted practice outside of the white cube.
Whether walking through the exhibition itself, or perusing the micro-site, Eliasson has produced a group of situations that force the viewer to recognise their presence as a force that defines how, and what, we see. By Toby Chapman | | | | | | | | |

| | 
| | Well, the hipster event of the year is finally here. In turning Maurice Sendak's 338-word evocation of childhood rage into a 101-minute movie, have Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers done justice to the memories of Generation Coolsie? Well, yes and no.
Max Records is just brilliant as Max. He's sparky and articulate, but not in a creepily precocious, Haley Joel Osment way. He may be smart and resourceful, but you never forget he's just a little kid who cries, tantrums and gets scared. I felt the only false note was when Eggers put the line, "Woman, feed me!" in his mouth. The Wild Things' voice and body acting meshes impressively; they seem so real, and Jonze has used ambient light evocatively to make them look at home in their environment. The movie is beautifully shot. | | But it really annoyed me that Eggers made Max's real-life worries dog him in his own imagination - and gave him even more problems to cope with. As king, Max becomes an HR manager mediating in the Wild Things' interpersonal dramas. In Sendak's book, Max leaves when he realises non-stop rumpusing gets boring; here, he leaves because he just can't hack the stress any more. By Mel Campbell | | | | | | |

Your sense of masculine pride
| | 
| | Our kind friend Dougie once spent a good 15 minutes trying to teach me the difference between Ruggers and Stubbies. Unfortunately I was too distracted by his manly thighs to listen, so for now let's call them 'man shorts'.
The men I know who favour this variety of trouser seem to find it an immensely satisfying experience, but there are a few key rules for any young'uns considering the man short this summer:
1. You must actually be a man. No boys allowed. If you can't grow a beard, you can't wear the man shorts.
2. While wearing the man shorts you should act accordingly. If there's a shed you should probably go get inside it; if there's an Iced Vovo around, don't eat it.
| | 3. Never be ashamed of your shorts. They're a perfect day-to-night option, a go everywhere friend. Heading to mum's for dinner? You'll look sporty. Date night? Break the ice with an eyeful of flank.
4. No mincing, strutting or demure leg crossing. The only stance is a power stance.
Adhere to these rules and you're well on your way to one of the best summers of your life. Your thigh-proud, unshackled, leg-hairs-glistening-in-the-sunshine life. By Alice Fenton | | | | | | | | |

| | So my theory was that Belly Bar was a tip of the hat to the immigrant heritage of the 2010 - like The Arch, maybe, but newer. A quiet testament to a moved-on population of Lebanese that helped create the cultural fabric of the area. Well, no. According to my thorough demographic research, Sydney's Lebanese population has never really lived in Darlinghurst. So there went that theory, and my feeling of being a real historical sleuth. Regardless, Lebanese heritage is the exact reason to fall past this place. In an area saturated with cafes offering much of the same, Belly Bar swaps your big breakfast and a flatty for a zataar bake and traditional stove-top coffee. | | I'm yet to try to wrestle a hangover with one of these bakes but, given they're basically mini-pides, I'll posit they'd work a treat. There's also mezze plate and fruit platter options, and a selection of Turkish tea.
This all comes via unpretentious service in an unpretentious space, which sort of suggests the raison d'etre of the place. Rather than being some horribly earnest attempt at a point of distinction, it's just a pleasant alternative to the usual. By Alex Vitlin | | | | | | |

| | Once, when I was small, I went to a horse riding camp. Everyone there was strong and confident in that country-folk way, and we got to eat bacon sandwiches every morning. So far so good. Thing is, because I was a wee city girl I was given 'Sparkles', aka, 'the shit horse'. Sparkles was a dirty white shetland pony who bit people and refused to trot. I'd be in the stables trying to convince him that we were a team while my fellow campers cantered about on their graceful mares. Long story short, Sparkles and I never really bonded, and at the end of the week when they handed out prizes for 'best gallop' and the like, we got 'cleanest water trough'. | | Since then, I've been unenthusiastic about horse riding. Until now. Glenworth Valley have over 200 quality horses to choose from, and nary a grumpy shetland in sight. After schooling you in the basics of horse control, a guide takes you on a tour of their lush 3000 acres, and if you're feeling it you can leave the group and explore on your own, wading through rivers and bounding over hills like Sigrid Thornton in The Man From Snowy River. Gallop fast enough and no one will hear you yell 'fuuuuucccckk yooooouuuuuu Spaaaaarrrrkles!' (Just, you know, if you should feel so inclined). By Alice Fenton | | | | | | | | | | What:

You know that South Park episode where they dis San Fran for being posh, alternative-living yuppies who just think they're cool? I totally got that. I repeated the jokes all the time because San Franners never had a legitimate reason to consider themselves cool. Thee Oh Sees changed that though. These guys are so summer-cool it's unbelievable. They've done splits with Jay Retard and every single record sleeve deserves a spot on the mantel. They'll be playing their winding 60s surf tunes with Eddy Current on Thursday evening, and then we're hoping they invite us back to their place to dance over the sprinklers. - HM | | | What:

There was a boy in my class at school, and he wasn't naturally funny. He'd just do humiliating things to gain a laugh, like wear his sister's uniform to school, purposely leave a trail of toilet paper hanging out of his pants and let people draw rude parts on his face. You might not be laughing now, but remember when you were 16 and still got a kick out of doing boobs like this ( . Y . ) on your calculator? Big Show is all about 'The Dunce' humiliating his/her self for a laugh. The Dunce will eat bananas, dance with no pants and get slapped in the face, just so you'll crack a smile. - HM | | | What:

Sam Taylor-Wood's directorial debut chronicles Lennon's youth; watching it in so beautiful a surrounding will resolve even the worst family feud. - DZ
