Watch out for the forthcoming Frazzlement 58 event at the neo-hipster gallery bar – Hiller Space Temple in Pointeso Eastern zone.
Former DJ turned foodie critic Marlon Acebridge: ‘The Hiller Space Temple oozes the Pacifica Village feel of Athletico harbour but it’s bang in the middle of the new droner spaced out zone of Pointeso! You will be pleased to know that its still hidden away from the masses and is waiting to be discovered. Located below the main Vane Huason Restaurant, this is a cool Pointeso bar with the latest in hipster touches, exposed brickwork and plenty of seating to make it a comfortable evening. Crafted cocktails are served up at Hiller Space Temple by award-winning hipsterologist Macey Rowanskill and we think this is certainly one of those bars with serious wow factor.’
The above event also ties into the opening of the ‘You’re a dark horse but you’ll win in the end’ Expo by Hannah Mahostic. A series of multi sensory ephemera, video and installation works which question notions of old classics like authorship and the sublimation of a brutalistic society feature.

How can you approach the Pointeso Art Scene? To learn more, I recently met in Sporting City with Maix Davenport, vice president of the Pointeso auction house Heller Kits. She was on a twice-a-year trip to the lower Sporting City to talk to potential participants in their auctions. Here are some tips and approaches I learned from talking to her.
1. Move in mysterious ways.
2. Always aim for the cream of the crop.
3. Keep clear of the artists who attend the infamous Pointeso all nighters.
4. Keep two steps ahead of your competitors.
‘Pointeso art is going to be a long term investment. I remember in the year 2000 it was all Delta this and Delta that. That region suffered the most from a slowdown in 2004 and never recovered. The one thing they could have capitalised on was their creative sector. I’ve always said that they missed the boat and now Pointeso is the place to be seen.’
The Fountain art Gallery and Collection was founded in 2010 and is one of the Pointeso Scene’s first major contemporary art collections to focus on emerging artists on a global level.
It opened in in 2009 and presents three major site-specific exhibitions a year grounded in research and practice residencies for two curators and one artist per year. Interaction and education are central to the Fountain Gallery programme and proceeds from the editions and publications are split 50/50 between the artist and the Fountainie education programme. All 209 events are based on a first come first served basis.
The Fountain Gallery and Collection have been a key and integral supporter of Hinklewell Art Fair which launched in 2008.
