TwoOne gives a live screen printing demo at his sell out Gorker Gallery exhibition last fortnight.

Every the craftsman, ever the visionary. Japanese born Melbourne artist TwoOne is presenting a new exhibition at Gorker Gallery this Thursday. The show will comprise a series of limited edition lino cut prints.

Launching 6pm this Thursday at Gorker, details below.

After many hours of batching, and many many more hours uploading, the 1,000 cans are up in their entirety on our Flickr pag, right here.ENJOY.

Ending in 719, with multiple sculpture and canvas pieces which make up the rest of the collection, the whole thing SHOULD be up there. Its also in reverse order starting last and ending with no.1. But we’ll be fixing that when its shown on the official website which we’re starting on this week.

If you come across any missing pieces or fuck ups with the order of the can’s drop me a line.

For those of you outside of Australia, Semi Permanent is an annual design festival which features guest speakers from the spectrum of the worlds professional creative community and a coming together of Australia’s designers and artists for one hell of a party.

The word is, 1,000 can’s has been included as a side event for this years conference. Big ups to AJ and the boys at DIK for the help.

Also in 1,000 can news, i’ve finished the batches to recolor, clean and resize the photos of the entire show, all that waits now is for me to upload the collection to flickr, from where it will be used at the guts for the onethousandcans.com online gallery.

I’ll post the flickr link once its up, would really appreciate it if any crew could check it out and let me know if theres any glaring errors in it, i’ve checked it but there’s 1,000 of the suckers and i’m sure somthings slipped past my vigil.

Until then here’s two desktops fromt he 1,000 can show, which we posted as part of the Grassroots newsletter but i don’t think i put on the blogs.

PEACE

A nice article on the upcoming 1,000 can show by Two went up today on Lifelounge.

Click here to check it and some nice preview photos of the immense collection.

Set to be one of the biggest Australian art shows of the decade, Two’s 1,000 cans features in a 5 page preview in the current issue of Desktop.

Over the last 2 years Japan born, Melbourne artist Two has been painting empty spray cans every day to create a collection of 1,000 hand painted can’s.

I just came back from Two’s studio where we cracked some celebratory beer because today he painted the 1,000th can.

From his early crude stuff to the 1,000th can, he’s become an absolute master from this rigourous training.

Took some shots, but left the camera at his studio so i’ll post them tomorrow.

Until then heres some stuff from around the 500 can mark.

And some from around 700

We’re shooting the entire collection on Tuesday so stay tuned.

You will be hearing allot more about this show in the next month, including news of a NICE T-shirt pack by Two.
