Ever the traveller, Lush has hooked up with a bunch of other artists to put on a show at the Museum Of Sex (MoSex) in NYC. He sent us a bunch of pics from over there, a bit of an taste of what those of us here at home are missing out on … nsfw, [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2012/02/08/international-fuck-art-lush-preview-nyc/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2011/12/20/interview-kid-zoom/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/12/20/interview-kid-zoom/#comments Tue, 20 Dec 2011 04:59:31 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/12/20/interview-kid-zoom/
Originally hailing from Perth, Kid Zoom is an enigmatic artist who has pushed, stretched and manipulated the boundaries and limited circles of what people traditionally think of as “street art”. As an artist whose hard work has done as much for his own success with the exposure he has garnered, as it has for the [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/12/20/interview-kid-zoom/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2011/09/13/competition-the-burroughs-oz-wide/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/09/13/competition-the-burroughs-oz-wide/#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:40:02 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/09/13/competition-the-burroughs-oz-wide/
Who doesn’t like free shit? and when that free shit involves a trip to NYC to take part in a kick ass art exhibition, all for just submitting a piece of your own kick ass art then all the better. Jeremy Gaschk, the curator of Rtist Gallery and one hard working dude, sent us a [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/09/13/competition-the-burroughs-oz-wide/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/16/interview-fintan-magee/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/16/interview-fintan-magee/#comments Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:17:21 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/16/interview-fintan-magee/
A vulture stands over the scattered and degraded flotsam and jetsam of the urban world, peering out towards the distance, its symbolistic scavenger nature epitomised in spray and colour – it speaks somewhere inside, and you listen – its hard not to when it looms so massively above you. Birds are only one of many [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/08/16/interview-fintan-magee/feed/ 1 http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/20/press-mill-wednesdays-the-return/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/20/press-mill-wednesdays-the-return/#comments Wed, 20 Jul 2011 00:19:19 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/19/press-mill-wednesdays-the-return/
Time to get back to the Press Mill Wednesdays, where we recap all of the “mainstream” press surrounding the art we all love. The column was put on the backburner for a little bit whilst we did some behind the scene restructuring, and now, given there is a little more free time on this editors [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/07/20/press-mill-wednesdays-the-return/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/18/interview-daek/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/18/interview-daek/#comments Wed, 18 May 2011 06:26:34 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/18/interview-daek/
As one of Perths continually rising stars, Daek is fascinated by many things – not least of which is his curiosity and infatuation with the women that he paints. His work, a composite mesh of graffiti and illustrative, painted complexity, are often light, with a hint of lustful attitude. They are also, at times, deeply [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/18/interview-daek/feed/ 3 http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/02/carbon-festival-of-style-design-culture-recap/ http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/02/carbon-festival-of-style-design-culture-recap/#comments Mon, 02 May 2011 04:46:00 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=3415
When we first saw the Carbon festival line up, we were pretty impressed – and now, having finished up the weekend, we have to say that it was a refreshing, unique and totally cool festival in terms of style, art, fashion, design, etc. What made it so successful?  The speakers? Raw data? Cool factor? Amazing [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2011/05/02/carbon-festival-of-style-design-culture-recap/feed/ 2 http://www.invurt.com/2010/11/19/feature-anthony-lister-memories-not-included/ http://www.invurt.com/2010/11/19/feature-anthony-lister-memories-not-included/#comments Fri, 19 Nov 2010 00:15:24 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2010/11/19/feature-anthony-lister-memories-not-included/
  There’s something distinctly nostalgic behind the name of Anthony Listers upcoming Sydney show at Chalk Horse Gallery, Memories Not Included -  the title itself feels as if it harkens back to the much loved movie Batteries Not Included of my youth, and, on the surface at least, the titulary play of words from the [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2010/11/19/feature-anthony-lister-memories-not-included/feed/ 3 http://www.invurt.com/2010/10/05/interview-sara-blake/ http://www.invurt.com/2010/10/05/interview-sara-blake/#comments Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:13:40 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/2010/10/05/interview-sara-blake/
It has to be said, that one of my favorite parts of doing this blog is opening up an email reply from an artist, and reading the replies for the first time – and when its one of many artists who I have admired and followed for a time, its especially fun.

  I’m squinting hard as the early dawn light is pummelling through the vans windscreen. We’re hurtling down the highway, somewhere between Rhode Island and Brooklyn – its post-party hour and some friends and I are dropping Reid Speed back home after an all-night rave in an abandoned bank vault.

There would be no stretch of the imagination involved if one was to suggest that Melbourne artist Makatron has been making waves in the past year with his exhibitions, murals and street art. As part of the Everfresh crew, who have a large array of colossal murals and more subtle pieces spread across both Burn [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2010/03/11/interview-makatron-everfresh-studio/feed/ 1
