 The Highlight Of 2013
 Artists like Kirin J, Standish/Carlyon, Client Liason and Jonny Telafone exploring masculinity and probing the psyche of a country that elected Tony Abbott.
 
 Prediction For 2014
 The government to make a lot of selfish decisions, an apathetic majority to ignore them, great art to be made about it and Lowtide to release a killer LP.
