STM Loves: Janet Laurence at State Buildings, Tipo 00, Johann Hari, Plateful Perth and Daisy Edgar-Jones

Janet Laurence Celebrated for her unique perspective of the natural world through painting, sculptures, photography, installation and video, artist Janet Laurence has been announced as the latest artist in residence at The State Buildings. “I want to draw you into this space to express our interconnection with, and the fragility of, our nature and the wondrous and incredibly complex system into which we are all interconnected — together we are the tissue of one giant being — by not seeing our animate nature, is in fact our danger,” Laurence said. From August 5-15, guests will be able to observe Laurence within the buildings, attend in-conversation talks, or enjoy an afternoon tea with her in the Cape Arid Rooms. More details at the State Buildings website. Tipo 00 Listed as one of renowned chef Marco Pierre White’s favourite places to eat, not to mention receiving acclaim and rave reviews since opening in 2014, Tipo 00 in Melbourne is doing something very right. Now, its chef Andreas Papadakis is sharing more than 80 of his recipes to recreate at home, including the famous tipomisu dessert and focaccia. Classic bob What do A-listers Zendaya, Ayo Edebiri, Jessica Biel, Gracie Abrams, Gigi Hadid and Lily Collins all have in common? Well, other than impressive talent, they’ve all recently cut their locks into a stylish bob. The world is taking notice, too, with those in the know saying the bob is quickly becoming one of the most popular styles in 2024. Johann Hari Author Johann Hari isn’t scared to dive into complex and controversial topics. His most recent book Magic Pill explored the rise in weight-loss drugs — including his personal experiences — while Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention researched why people are struggling to focus, and how to increase your attention span. Soon, the New York Times bestselling author is heading to Perth with podcaster Sarah Grynberg to discuss the attention revolution. Tickets for the October 26 show at Ticketek. Plateful Perth This dish from Hunter & Barrel, part of Plateful Perth, is not your average meat-and-potatoes. Billed as an “ultimate tomahawk feast”, it’s $195 for this sharing platter of a 1.1kg black diamond steak, roasted truffle potatoes, charred corn, crispy Brussels sprouts, a sauce and a bottle of Vasse Felix wine. It’s on daily, one of a plethora of deals and events during the month-long foodie celebration. Organisers are billing the line-up, featuring everything from charcuterie to seafood, wine and cheese, to beer and birria, as value for money amid the rising cost of living. See platefulperth.com.au. Daisy Edgar-Jones The Normal People star and actor Glen Powell have been on the publicity circuit for their film Twisters, but it’s hard to concentrate on the movie with all the looks she’s been serving (courtesy of stylist Dani Michelle). From a ruffled blue-grey look from Chloe and shimmering silver from Givenchy, to a statement mini from Victoria Beckham, they’ve all been stunning. This look — a structured Vivienne Westwood gown in very on-trend chocolate brown — was also a highlight. The most stylish press tour since Challengers.
