Come behind the curtain. Ben Salter has turned our lounge into a Sex Death Dayclub for #DarkMofo: like a nightclub, but during the day. And in a museum. Music from all sorts, full bar, gloomy corners. Come down for a boogie (capacity limited).

In a white cube, facing a doorway to outside. There are two large rectangular prisms mounted on the wall above. Sunlight is striking through the prisms, projecting white light and rainbow-like reflections across the interior walls.

Four of Australia’s most outstanding string players hit the Nolan on Friday 26 May to perform three virtuosic contemporary classical works: alternately invigorating, trancelike and intricate. Like having a gymnast perform in your lounge room. x.mona.net.au/supernormal
A group of people sit holding string instruments and smiling at each other with open mouths, obviously having a giggle at something together. Copy on the image: Mona Presents: Australian String Quartet, Friday 26 May 2023, 7:30pm, Nolan Gallery, Mona.

Peachy. Until next time, @MonaFoma.
A crowd of people are holding the singer Peaches in the air, she is laying on her back with her legs kicked high. She wears a metallic blue jacket.

With executive producer Chris, we built a recording studio to house and appropriately venerate this legendary piece of technology. Legendary and worthy of veneration because it lived at London’s Abbey Road Studios where it was used to master The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Frying Pan Studios. We’re calling it Australia’s first recording studio in a museum until proven otherwise. Peer through the glass and see who’s cooking.* *And eavesdrop on the creative process in action, when the headphones arrive. x.mona.net.au/fryingpanstudi…
