Incorporating the launch of Membrane, the 2008 Next Wave Festival begins here with a gigantic over-done punch in the air at Fed Square’s Atrium in the city on May 15. Enjoy two hours of the world’s best music, a roomful of attractive artist-types and really tasty drinks in one of downtown Melbourne’s great party spaces. Then, post-party, you are invited to roll on to the completely refurbished Mercat Cross Hotel, the site of the 2008 NWF Club, at 456 Queen Street (near the Vic Markets). Membrane is a series of site-specific installations and interventions in and around Federation Square, presented by artist run initiatives (ARIs) from around Australia. Occupying the alternative and not-oft used spaces of Fed Square, Membrane is one of the 2008 Festival’s key note projects. All are welcome, but RSVP is essential, to nextwave@nextwave.org.au.
