Dan Ilic is an Australian
presenter, comedian and filmmaker best known for his parody work. He recently ran satirical ads
attacking Australia's climate policy on the world's biggest billboard in Times
Square, New York. Ilic initially crowdfunded money for a campaign to purchase
billboard space in Glasgow to coincide with the Cop26 climate summit. After
exceeding his initial targets, Ilic bought 10 minutes of time on the billboard
known as Godzilla and will also run his ads in marginal seats in Australia. We
need more of this creativity to engage and communicate important issues we all
need to understand.

Imagination and energy are elements to enable something you desire to become a reality.
“The idea for the guitar came from simply wanting an electric guitar but I didn’t want to spend $1000 on a premium fender -so I made one, deciding to spend the vast majority of the cost on the electronics. It is made from old Tasmanian Blackwood floorboards that glow in the dark, with resin stripes. I based it on a $80 guitar kit that I bought as a reference” Abe Mahlab UNSW student. It is not only beautiful it also sounds great.
The tallest tree in Wales had been damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down but chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolise the tree's last attempt to reach the sky. https://www.treecarving.co.uk/
Sarah Lucas is part of the generation of Young British Artists who emerged during the 1990s. Her works frequently employ visual puns and bawdy humour by incorporating photography, collage and found objects.
From the start, her irreverent practice—which spans sculpture, installation, photography, and mixed-media work—has poked fun at British culture, sexual norms, gender roles, and notions of propriety. Lucas pushes the limits of figurative representation; euphemisms, visual puns, and appropriated objects abound throughout her oeuvre.
