Artist, philosopher, teacher and author Madeleine Ekeblad will open her latest solo Exhibition Music of the Landscape at The Gallery Eumundi on Saturday 16 October at 6pm.

The artist, who often listens to Jazz music whilst creating her masterpieces, works in the mediums of enamel, acrylic and ink. Her freeform style is achieved by literally dribbling the paint directly onto the canvas using sticks and other tools. Madeleine also likes to incorporate old music manuscripts in her ink works, some dated in late 1800's. |

| The relationship between nouvelle vague heavyweights, François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, and their subsequent (and very public) battle of political ideologies and cinematic visions is explored in Emmanuel Laurent's new documentary. A must for fans and an enticing introduction to those yet to be seduced by one of cinema's most prodigious movements. |

| Eschewing the camp tone of the 1960s TV series, Burton referenced the original DC Comics character and strip created by Bob Kane in drawing darker inspiration for his skewed, neo-German Expressionist vision of a foreboding Gotham City and its avenging caped crusader. (Production designer Anton Furst received an Academy Award for Best Art Direction, but tragically took his own life in 1991, a loss Burton felt acutely.) Permeated by a mordant sense of humour, Jack Nicholson turns in an irresistibly maniacal performance as The Joker. |
