Wild Eye @ Space@565
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 ...

Motion/Pictures @ Gallery A.S.
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 ...
Delayed Reactions – Dirty Rotten Scoundrels @ LO-FI
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. ...

Medium Vinyl 2011 @ Hardware & Plump

Oh My Goodness My Gocco 2 @ Sweets Workshop
Maybe we’re just not as hip as we’d hoped, but when we read that Sweets Workshop was putting on a show of Gocco prints we had no idea what the hell that meant. If you’re thinking something similar, let us now enlighten you via the words of Sweets Workshop…
Morte @ LO-FI
It hasn’t been long since our last visit to LO-FI but if there is one thing we can’t resist it’s a show about death. Oh so many skulls! Delicious. “Morte” was a group show curated by incredible Sydney tattoo artist Josh Roelink. He asked 25 of his favorite tattoo and visual artists to create works ...

Still Life – FBi Fundraiser Auction @ The Art Gallery of NSW
