A place to see a few photos and a few words about Sydney art exhibitions when you can't get there yourself. Or when you want to see photos of yourself on the internet.
What I Had I Gave Away – Thomas C. Chung + Amanda Humphries @ Hardware Gallery
Last Tuesday night marked the end of an era for the art scene in Enmore. The much loved Hardware Gallery opened its doors for its last ever exhibition. “What I Had I Gave Away” from Thomas C. Chung and Amanda Humphries, seemed a perfect choice for the final show. The title of the exhibition and the sentiment of change and letting go, was timely and strangely ominous.

Untitled Water - Lucien Alperstein
Water and Music is the debut solo exhibition from photographer Lucien Alperstein. The collection featured a series of black and white photos from two very different angles. His water series was very personal and spontaneous, documenting friends and well… water. The music series was a collection from Alpersteins documentation of the Sound Series performances held at Hardware Gallery. Heavy contrast and balanced composition tied the works together. Alperstein’s use of black and white gave a sense of nostalgia to the collection.

After the enormous success of the first Medium Vinyl, how could Hardware Gallery not do it again? Well, not only have they done it again, but it was bigger and better than ever. With Plump Gallery jumping on board, the exhibition was across 2 galleries and displaying the vinyl themed work of over 100 talented local and international artists.

‘Oranges & Lemons’ is the debut solo show for local Sydney artist Bennett. Bennett has been a regular in group shows and street art events across the country for quite some time now. It’s great to see him jump into the spotlight with a body of work that gives us more of an insight into his evoloution as an artist.

As the sun dropped during the first week post daylight savings time we entered Hardware Gallery to check out the latest by Beth Josey Andrew Ensor.
Josey’s series of works was dominated by linoleum prints examining the many poisons that are hidden in beautiful organisms. Ensor’s delicate and beautiful architectural-based ink drawings studied the power and crumbling beauty of historic castles as they slowly become obsolescent.
