STROBED
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.
Wild Eye @ Space@565
Peter Sherratt
A lot of people wander past the City of Sydney RSL without a glance, or perhaps wander in for a cheap beer and a punt. Who’d have thought they’d decided to create a massive gallery space out of their second floor bar?! Not us, certainly. Space@565 is building a name for itself as an affordable place for emerging artist to throw an exhibition in the centre of the city. And they do know how to host an opening: live music, drinks and catering all just to entice the you, the fine people of Sydney, into supporting the space and the artists. When it comes to discovering new galleries in our fine city, the more the merrier!

Whiskers Lane
October in Sydney brings with it the CRAVE Sydney Food Festival: a crazy month of gluttony and obsession with all things edible. So appropriately, in conjunction with this delicious event, Sweets Workshop brings us “Food Fight”.

The Gallery A.S. phenomenon seems to be about bringing a serious amount of hype and credibility to the humble “pop-up” exhibition. Booking amazing venues and backed by well connected PR types, the Gallery A.S. shows already have a reputation of being epic. The latest offering was served up across 3 levels of the former Paramount Pictures Building in Surry Hills. It was a labyrinth, and an enormous one at that.
The show paid homage to its namesake: motion pictures. Installation, sculpture, painting and embroidery all had a space, but nothing was more popular than live filming of a man on fire. We have no idea what that was about, but it was fun to watch. Exploring the many rooms and staircases gave the show a bit of an adventure and was a nice change from the usual 4 white walls.
In short, there were some incredible works by incredible artists and a rather massive crowd gathered to enjoy it. And there was a guy on fire.

Ibis Muerte - Thomas Jackson
LO-FI played host to Delayed Reactions last week. The show was flagged as a “reunion of Sydney’s biggest creative misfits” and featured the work of 15 friends, brought together by their love of all things arty and debaucherous. Their individulal works hung side by side and covered everything from photography and design to traditional painting. Alas, we’re a little slow on getting some of the artists names up but they’ll be there this afternoon. Enjoy!

Seeing the Sidewayz exhibition way back in 2008 was one of the reasons we decided to get out and report to you on happenings of the Sydney art scene. Flash forward to 2011: Sidewayz is back and was held at The National Grid.
