Celebrate the launch of the first glossy annual magazine from Memo Review, Naarm/Melbourne’s only platform for weekly art criticism.
Memo No. 1 features special section on Archie Moore, Australia’s representative at the 2024 Venice Biennale, with essays by Rex Butler, Tristen Harwood, Tara Heffernan, and Hilary Thurlow. It also includes essays and reviews from around Australia and the world. Audrey Schmidt unveils a covetous history of tall-poppy takedowns in the Melbourne art world, Philip Brophy rips into Hollywood’s shallow art-world playbook, Cameron Hurst checks-in with the once-celebrated Spike Magazine cultural critic Dean Kissick, and more.
Hear from contributing editor Paris Lettau and Queensland contributor Adam Ford, and take home a copy of the incisive publication.
