Dough snap’s cute portrait By JESSE GRAHAM YOU’VE most likely had a photograph taken of you - who hasn’t? But have you ever had a photograph taken with dough on your head? TarraWarra Museum of Art (TWMA) will be hosting a free Dough Portrait Day on Sunday 1 June for exactly that - with internationally renowned artist Søren Dahlgaard setting up unique portraits on the day. The photo shoot entails people posing as if for a regular photograph, only with huge lumps of dough placed over their heads, obscuring their faces. Dahlgaard will be taking photos of visitors covered in dough from 11am3pm on the day, and photographs from the event will be used for the upcoming biennial at the museum, called Whisper in my Mask. The biennial, which runs from 16 August to 16 November, explores the theme of masking, secrets and hidden narratives - such as psychological states. It will be curated by Natalie King and Djon Mundine, and many Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists have been selected to display their work as part of the event.
Circus in town By KATH GANNAWAY
Soren Dahlgaard’s Asoka and Ben Dough Portraits are an example of the doughy pictures to be taken this weekend. Picture: SOREN DAHLGAARD Dahlgaard, a Melbourne-based Danish artist, said that identity and participation were the two themes underpinning his project.

GODZILLA, directed by Gareth Edwards, is a terrific monster movie in which just enough is perfect. Lieutenant Ford Brody (Aaron TaylorJohnson) and his family find themselves caught up in a devastating conflict between ancient monsters. Mutos, macabre creatures that feed on radiation, are threatening the safety of humanity, and the reptilian titan Godzilla may be the only thing that can defeat them. Godzilla hits the perfect note in almost every aspect. The film has just enough fanciful elements in the premise without being corny, and is dark and compelling instead. The characters are established and developed just enough for us to like and invest ourselves in them, but without robbing the
spotlight from the monsters. Godzilla gets just enough screentime in the first and second acts to generate eager anticipation (in a Jaws-like strategy of less is more), and so avoids overexposure. The performances are outstanding especially from Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe and Elizabeth Olsen. The pacing is excellent, the effects and creature design are amazing and the final epic battle between Godzilla and the Mutos is glorious. Godzilla is also an incredibly effective disaster movie, and has an impressive scope and commitment to worldbuilding. This is a real treat for fans of the Godzilla franchise, and for everyone else. Godzilla is an enthralling, superbly made experience. Like the proverbial third bowl of porridge, Godzilla is just right.
