February 8, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Convenience stores are a bit of a letdown, it takes 5 minutes for these little strip-lit quick-e-marts to pop up, what happened to the corner store with the old Greek guy offering chocolate cigarettes and jelly snakes ? . .Mixed business is bringing it back, with some hand folded baklava . .or at least it’s graphic equivalent . .expect the usual surprises.
Secret Wars – Sydney
February 7, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
There has been a groundswell of hype surrounding the Secretwars events in London with main-man Terry landing some good sponsors and getting the format showcased all over Europe. Now its Sydney’s turn with the first night planned for Thursday 11th Feb at NameThisBar? who have done the right thing and given up their precious walls to be drawn all over. If all goes to plan it would only be a matter of time before we see it head off down the Hume Highway for a go in Melbourne the capital of culture, definitely something to look forward to.
Adelaide Urban Art Festival

Ok so this should be something. The Adelaide Urban Art Festival is happening as part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival and includes an art jam, mural production, workshops and i suspect a bit of boozing and graffiti chit-chat. This is all good stuff it reminds me of the micro-festivals which happen all over Europe in their summer. Ill be taking part in the Customised Dumpster Group Show which involves each participating artist painting a flat-pack model dumpster. That takes place on Sunday 7th of March in Adelaide.

Some beautiful work made out of everyday thrift shop rubbish like thermos flasks and recyclables, which, when placed in colour groupings and stuffed into the hydraulic drive of a scissor lift, makes for some interesting art objects. This has to be the work of a Swede and his name is Micheal Johansson
