Having a special fondness for any organisation that provides support and opportunity to creative people, it is our pleasure to be working with local gallery and jewellers workshop, Pieces of Eight. Showcasing some of Australia’s most exciting contemporary jewellers, the gallery provides one of Melbourne’s best reasons for catching the 112. Co-ordinating publicity for this amazing destination for jewellery lovers is as simple as advising you all to go. Soon.

From skateboarding to tagging, hip hop to clubbing to underground art, URBANology brings together creative practices that hover just outside the radar of the established art world. Staged at Arts House, the program will feature artforms including contemporary dance, performance, break dancing, hip hop, Le Parkour, skateboarding and flatland BMX. All boast local practitioners of urban artforms at the top of their game, internationally recognised as pioneers in their field. Ambiguous Horse is proud to be helping URBANology give expression to the melting pot of cultures, movements and adaptation of international forms that our city allows.

Having been well and truly sucked in to the excitement of So You Think You Can Dance (who doesn’t love to scream at the television on a Sunday night?) we are more than pleased to be working as part of the team for the first ever Melbourne edition of the Australian Dance Awards. The Awards are being staged in this fine city for 2008, 2009 and the eerily futuristic sounding 2010. We’ve been helping out Ausdance Victoria on securing sponsors for the dance industries Night of Nights, and look forward to an amazing event.

What would you do if a performer gave you $500 and said you could keep it? Sara Juli’s The Money Conversation does just that. Direct from New York, Ambiguous Horse will present the show in September. The one-woman show is all about money - what it means, how much is enough and whether you would take it from a stranger.

The Ideas Catalogue is the brainchild of Melbourne contemporary artist Gabrielle de Vietri. It is a book in which ideas are up for sale. The first issue, launched in September 2005, was created as an output for the ideas left over from the art practice of the catalogue’s founding editor, Gabrielle de Vietri.

Never turning back a chance to wear a fluorescent orange safety vest, Ambiguous Horse occasionally turns tradie. When Play Communications needed a Melbourne based partner to manage the installation of their client, Adobe’s stand at major trade fair, we got straight to the spreadsheet and delivered on time and in budget.
