Five new exhibitions open at Linden – St Kilda Centre for Contemporary Arts on Thursday 15 November at 6pm.

You Never Look at Me from Where I See You in Gallery One inolves two artists: Meaghan Duffy and Annee Miron and two departure points: the cognitive and psychoanalytical. Curated by Magdalena Moreno, this exhibition of paintings, drawings and video imagery 'map' experience and desire.

Peter Tankey's Funked Up in Gallery Two shows people dealing with things, 'getting on' in the infancy of an information era. His work is a visual analogy of the information culture and its daily assault on the senses through news breaks, ad breaks, infomercials and internet advertising.

Four Photographs and a Sculpture in Gallery Three by Simon Terrill consists of large photographic portraits, slide projections and a kinetic sculpture. The portraits are from a series of images of people crying. They examine the muscular action of distress, the way the lip curls or an eye moistens, the representation of an emotional state unattached to a specific event or moment.

In The Biospherians: conversations in science fiction film and utopianism (Gallery Four) Tim Fleming explores the anxieties and predictions portrayed through science fiction cinema and utopian literature from 1516-2001. His work focuses primarily on the anxiety created by technology and science and the ethical implications of science today.

Decorator behaviour spans nearly all demographic boundaries. Drew Martin and Dell Stewart's Home is a Castle (Gallery Five) focuses on the interior of an inner city apartment and the exterior of outer suburban developer designed housing estates.

All exhibitions continue until Sunday 16 December
Gallery hours are: Tuesday – Sunday 1.00pm – 6.00pm
