Exhibition – Higher Ground – Kind Of Gallery – Sydney

Higher Ground studios has been around since 2010, and we’ve covered them, and the artists that make their home there, a hell of a lot over that period. Coming up at Kind Of Gallery, this group show, with all of the artists putting forth examples of their work, is nothing short of awesome. Beastman, Bennett, Ears, Mark Alsweiler, Max Berry, Neil Tomkins, Numskull, Phibs, Thomas Jackson and Tom Ferson – need we say more?

“Art is a process that is most powerful when it’s in co-operation with other artists. Nurturing, support and critical feedback is essential not only on an individual level, but in the formation and evolution of any art movement.

My association with the movement that Sydney has experienced in the last 10 years began with a series of conversations between Numskull, Beastman and myself in around 2005. It was apparent then that there was clearly something missing in Sydney art, and that thing was direction and community for a group of passionate artists involved in an exploding new form of urban expression. Working together on varied and exciting projects, we came together as like-minds, whose practices whilst varied, shared the same ultimate goal: the formation of an art community.

Higher Ground is in many ways the culmination of those conversations we had in 2005 about what was lacking in Sydney and where someday things could end up. Having worked with all of the artists in the studio in some way or another, I have experienced the vibrancy, relevance and ongoing contribution they are making to the Australian and international scene. Since its inception in 2010, this group of mostly self-taught artists, at different ages and in different stages of their careers, have established a new platform for the continuation of their individual and collective artistic beliefs.

In a world of social, political and creative chaos, it’s difficult to find a place to come up for air – luckily these artists have collaboratively found their own Higher Ground.

- Ben Frost”

That about tells it all, nice piece there from Frost. It speaks volumes of what the show will consist of. Also, not only will there be a mad lot of art up on the walls, but a limited edition book will also be released on the night -

“On the occasion of the exhibition, Higher Ground Studio will be releasing a limited edition book. Featuring photographs by Tony Kenny and the artists themselves, this self-published 84 page book is a detailed pictorial documentation of life in the studio, the artist’s varied processes and the different workspaces within the studio. The edition of 100 perfect bound books will be hand signed and numbered by all the artists in the studio.”

If that doesn’t cinch all reasons for heading to this one, I don’t know what else will – such an amazing array of artists under the one roof – we really wish we could make it to this one. Lucky bastards this week, Sydney crew.

We heard news of this a few months ago, and its finally here! This Friday sees the launch of an awesome collaboration of Sydney artists, creatives and bloggers into a superfest of art, ideas and talent – fuckin a!

THE HOURS is a joint venture by three long time friends and artists, Brad Eastman (Beastman), Marty Routledge and Numskull. These three Sydney locals have each been instrumental in developing and enriching the Australian contemporary, street, graffiti and low brow art community over the last decade. They are now combining their many skills, fans, ideas, contacts and thriving ambition into THE HOURS, which promises to be an innovative creative force for years to come.

To celebrate their launch, THE HOURS presents an exhibition of new paintings by a few of their friends: Beastman, Ben Frost, Bennett, Ears, Edward Woodley, Ghostpatrol, Jae Copp, Joel Birch, Jumbo, Kyle Hughes-Odgers, Kyle Montgomery, Man Man, Mark Alsweiler, Max Berry, Miso, Numskull, Phibs, Roach, Sean Morris, Slug, Thomas Jackson, Trent Whitehead, Twoone and Vans the Omega.

THE HOURS have handpicked and invited these 24 talented artists from all over Australia to express their individual style of art making in circle format for an exhibition not to be missed.

Stay tuned to The Opening Hours for more information and previews of the work. All the artworks will also be available for purchase through the website.”

On top of that, The Opening Hours has just relaunched their site today, and its lookin mighty damn fine!

It’s really great to see all these guys getting together and launching something that we are sure is going to be a fantastic project, and will do great things for the Australian art scene -  and we wish them every success on their venture!

Exhibition – Black & White All In Between – Sydney

I mean, dear god damn look at that list of artists – aMBUSH Gallery keeps setting the bar for some amazing shows, and, teaming up with Doctor Dboe their next show is a cacophonic array of black and white imagery – our favourite!

“Faced with the challenge of stark simplicity, 67 Australian and international artists known for their vibrant, technicolour flair have come together to form Black & White All In Between, aMBUSH Gallery’s latest star-studded exhibition of 2012.

The parameters of Black & White All In Between are basic: to create works uniform in size and using only black ink. Proposed to a diverse range of illustrators, fine artists, street legends and graffiti greats, the concept removes the comfort of colour from the artists’ process and challenges them to develop work driven by composition, form and tone. Not only a chance to see a collection of work by some of the world’s most exciting contemporary artists, Black & White All In Between presents audiences with an opportunity to own that work. The high quality pieces are all priced affordably, accessible art being a priority of both aMBUSH Gallery and Black & White’s curator, Dion Zancanaro.

Join aMBUSH on Friday 31 August in celebrating the launch of Black & White All In Between, catered by Arvo Beer and ABSOLUT Vodka, with live music performed by DJs Paper Plane Project, Raine Supreme and DPHY.”

From the simple things, come some of the best things – and this show will be no exception. 100 shades of black and white, indeed. Again, read that list below and you’ll get why we wish we could be there.

Event & Exhibition – Red Bull Canvas Cooler Project – Lo-Fi Collective – Sydney

Sydney’s Lo-Fi Collective are no strangers to producing amazing shows and events that huddle together insanely talented individuals.

This event, "Canvas Cooler" features some of Australia’s top street artists in collaboration with Red Bull, who will be creating their artwork (of amazing proportion) in a totally different  and cool way. The project already hit London as well as also totally rocked White Walls Gallery San Francisco last year – and Sydney is next.

"The Canvas Cooler Project is decking out eleven of Sydney’s premier watering holes with original artwork by 11 of Australia’s leading street artists. Using Red Bull fridges as a new medium, some of Australia’s most recognised names in street art will transform the humble cooler into a work of art inspired by each bar’s décor. Venues include Upstairs Beresford, The Norfolk, Hunky Dory, Bucket List and Lo Fi."

The event, curated by Marty Routledge, includes a crazy line up of artists such as Beastman, Numskull, Phibs, Roachy, Thomas Jackson, Will Lynes, Esjay, Brent Smith, Well Dressed Vandals, Kerupt and Peque.

Here’s a quick teaser video of the event …

The eleven works of brilliance in cooler form will be revealed at an exclusive exhibition event at Lo Fi Collective in Sydney’s Surry Hills, at the end of March.

Exhibition – There Goes The Neighbourhood – The Tate – Sydney

Over the past two years, Sydneys Lo-Fi Collective has consistently displayed some of the best shows from domestic and international artists. With their amalgamation with The Standard, they have continued to go from strength to strength into this new year and we always eagerly await seeing what is next up on their line up.

So, you can imagine our glee when we saw that Lo-Fi was branching out and helping to open up a sister gallery in Glebe, The Tate. The opening show, There Goes The Neighbourhood, gives us a glimpse of that which is to come, and, reading through the philosophy behind the new gallery at Glebes Toxeth Hotel, we’re full of anticipation.

"The Tate at Glebe’s renowned hotel, The Toxteth, is the latest addition to the inner west’s visual arts scene. Comprising of a rent-free, commission-free gallery space as well as a set of no-rent art studios, The Tate will house a curated family of artists from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, with the objective of re-invigorating Sydney’s arts and cultural scene.

The Tate is another initiative from the team behind Sydney’s Lo-Fi Collective: co-founded by Peer Group and Riversdale Group and co-curated by Marty Routledge and Christopher Loutfy.

As the gentrification avalanche tumbles down the hills from the Eastern Suburbs, the known creative precincts of Surry Hills and Darlinghurst are being pushed further to Redfern and Darlington. Following the success of Lo-Fi, as well as The Standard, Go Font Yr Self and Self Est., the founders see The Tate as yet another step in the process of addressing the distance between Sydney’s arts education system and the art industry, as well as bridging the physical gap between Sydney’s inner west and the inner city.

The Tate will hold new openings weekly, embracing grass roots talent from within the establishment by means of draft picks from our arts education system. The Tate applies the same free gallery structure as its sister gallery, Lo-Fi Collective, serving as a stepping stone space for 2nd year graduates to host their first solo or group shows."

More galleries showcasing the shit we love means more opportunities to see it, and with the Lo-Fi crew behind it all, there is no doubt that The Tate is going to be continue to surprise us with a diverse range of shows, and make us wish we could get up to Sydney more often!

You can check out a whole bunch of shots and previews of the new gallery over at the Opening Hours and at The Tates blog.

This time they’ll be showcasing a series of Giclee prints of new water color drawings, typographic works, and more – knowing those two artists work, theres sure to be some amazingly cool stuff on display.

  • Okay, so I love rockets – and so does Lauren Orchowski, she went around the US taking photos of all those old 50s and 60s rocket ship playgrounds and produced a book of photographs, called “Rocket Science” from all her shots – some fine urban decay of these cool rusting ships.

Thats about it, fairly quiet this week in the rest of Oz, but if I’ve missed anything please let me know – and, as always, if you have any news or events you want us to cover, please just send us a message.

Exhibition – Twoone & Thomas Jackson – The Absence Of Man – Sydney

 

Its always great to see Twoone doing shows, and this time he teams up with Thomas Jackson for a short run duo show at China Heights in Surry Hills – gotta love collaborative exhibitions.

“The absence of man’ is an exhibition by twoone and thomas jackson, two artists well known to the melbourne street art scene. although exhibiting along side each other for many years, this is the first exhibition these acclaimed artists have done exclusively together. both artists use an abstract touch of nature to take you to a new world where nature has retaken the world, and the absence of man is seen by the decrepit remains of old buildings and natural regrowth. these artists’ choice of colours and attention to detail make it easy for the viewer to disappear into the world they have created. the framing of their work almost makes you believe they are looking through a window into this strange and beautiful world. these two artists fascination of the ‘found’ and ‘mans need to build’, mixed with a love of nature has really come through in this body of work. in the absence of man, nature will take over.”
