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.
Mark Rowden + Shirley Hersch + Sarah Park + The Photogroup @ Gaffa
So here we are at Gaffa for another big night. Four exhibitions, from some very talented artists, opening together. Strap yourselves in.

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!

If your were asked to create a work inspired buy the words “I Love You” what would you come up with? For 35 creatives from around the country the answer is here in black and white (perhaps a hint of colour here and there). The Love is Here Project complied their favourite submissions and produced a little zine. Last Thursday night at aMBUSH was the launch and we, your humble correspondents, were there.
The zine featured work from illustrators, photographers and the general public. By no means a fine art journal, the zine seems more of a snapshot of people’s response to a very personal sentiment. Tenderness, loss, joy, heartbreak, anger, lust and envy all made appearances as the artists laid bare their souls.

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.

Sin - Tim Schultz, 1994
Walking into MOP to explore Tim Schultz’ s newest exhibition was a fairly frightening experience. Schultztown is a retrospective of Shultz’s work, put on display as a fire sale to make some room in his studio.
