Replying to @DarkFringeFest
It’s a wild thing, imbued with extraordinary costumes, beautiful materiality and luxury crucifixes, blazing with the spirit of artists from Dorothea Tanning to Leonora Carrington and Meret Oppenheim, it seduces visitors to interact, crawl through and delight in the unexpected.

7) EMERGENCY DOLLHOUSE runs 17 days, 9-25 June within the DARK FRINGE festival. Events run in parallel with Dark Mofo in Hobart but have no direct association with #DarkMofo or its management. "The time has come for the talent of the antipodes to take its turn, in its home town."

The Emergency Dollhouse defies purity and self righteousness to acknowledge none of us are truly in control of our desires or where they come from. When you desire to enter you can't just be a voyeur. You must participate. You may be converted by the end 9-25 June 2023 Hobart

This thread is one small example of the difference between Twitter & Facebook @TwitterAU @Twitter @cbverve
In 1895, Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky painted the famous: "Mental Arithmetic. In the Public School of S. Rachinsky." The problem on the blackboard is (10²+11²+12²+13²+14²)/365, can you find a way to solve it with mental arithmetic?
