In 2000 a video of Shaun Gladwell skating against a Bondi Beach storm received massive recognition in both the Australian and international art worlds. The artwork's slow mo, fluid composition was vastly different to the choppy, fast paced direction generally associated with skate videos and it subsequently made Gladwell into a bit of an art star. His latest show, Shaun Gladwell: Stereo Sequences, which was commissioned directly by the Australia Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), includes a range of 'open experiments' from recurring themes in Gladwell's work, including breakdancing, skating and painting. - Nadia

Channel the girls in the 1975 film Picnic at Hanging Rock by wearing white lace, high necklines, and long dresses. Possess a mysterious, distant expression and intense curiosity. But just please don't disappear at Hanging Rock because that would be really spooky!
