WEEKEND: Agency of Inanimate Objects

If the world suddenly ended, what materials and objects would remain in the future to tell of our existence? Izabella Pluta’s current solo show examines the idea of temporality through questioning whether objects are remarkable or obsolete.

WHEN: Until 25 May, Sat 11am-5pm, Sun 1pm-5pm

The Vic on the Park is being transformed into a rockabilly bikie bar, with the biggest collection of Cafe Racers, Bobbers, classic and custom motorbikes on display alongside music from Pat Capocci, The Tequila Twins, the Big Blind Ray Trio and Papa Pilko and the Binrats.

SUNDAY :: Eurovision party

It’s back. That outrageously tacky, over the top, glittery talent quest on crack. You will either love or hate Eurovision, or not get it at all. Either way, the parties that go alongside it – like this one – are too much fun.

HOW MUCH: $10 (but the first 50 to arrive in costume get in for free)
