Fried Gold

Next Wave produces a quarterly printed publication for its donors and key stakeholders called Fried Gold. Here is a little video we made of Issue Two (designed by Stuart Geddes of Chase & Galley with a micro essay by Penny Modra) in December 2009:

Quote from the presses

‘We read the Next Wave Festival program and we could not digest its awesomeness. [It’s the] best arts festival this side of the Greenwich meridian…’
ThreeThousand

‘[The Next Wave Festival] is a particularly supple take on notions of art – a world away from painting, arbitrary objects and well-lit gallery spaces.’
The Age

‘Next Wave encourages their artists to break the mould, bust out of their genres and present something truly unique.’
Beat

‘If these Next Wave offerings are anything to go by, our future theatre will be lively and expansive and burgeoning with ideas.’
The Age

‘Next Wave continues to challenge artistic boundaries.’
