As part of Creative Sydney in June 2010 – Beastman, Max Berry, Numskull, Phibs and Roach – painted a 2.5m x 10m collaborative mural which was installed in Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art.
Presented by [weAREtheIMAGEmakers], The Opening Hours and Ironlak, the intention of the event was to draw attention to and make a bold statement about the high quality but temporary nature of public or ‘street’ art in Sydney, due to Sydney council’s tough stance on the subject. This was achieved through buffing over the amazing 10m mural in front of a crowd who turned up expecting the artists to be painting the mural live.
Check out this awesome video of the artists painting on location at Westsyde Connection, and the event that followed at the MCA.

Opening Night Thursday 17 June, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Following the success of her debut solo exhibition Where the Dry Leaves Fall at Gorker Gallery in 2008, Leah Bartholomew presents her new body of work These are the Days in her second solo exhibition.
These are the Days is an intimate exploration of the small, special moments that binds us together in friendship and create a sense of place. The prints, collages and paper sculptures delicately handcrafted by Bartholomew tell the story of a protracted coming of age, anchored in the landscapes of both experience and imagination.
From poetic scenes such as the group of friends lazing in a sun-drenched field, to the bonding of the shared beer in city back streets, to the quiet moment of solitude amongst prismatic trees, these works honour the events and emotions that can seem almost insignificant at the time, but go on to become important memories and dreams. They convey a similar feeling to that of discovering the smell of bonfire smoke on a pair of jeans that you haven’t worn for weeks.
Nostalgic. Ethereal. Personal. Precious.
Exhibition runs until Sunday 27 June
Gorker Gallery – Cnr Gore & Kerr Street Fitzroy
Opening hours:
3pm – 7pm Wednesday – Friday
11am – 7pm Saturday & Sunday
Wine Tasting Wednesday 23 June, 6pm – 7pm
Backwoods Gallery debuts with my third Melbourne solo exhibition, King for a day.
King for a Day is a brand new collection of paintings, screenprints and installations that examine society’s celebrity obsession through the prism of our own mortality and inner duality. An energetic depiction of those who crave power, wealth and fame in both life and death, King for a Day looks at how contemporary media and social networking has accelerated stardom and increased the pitfalls that come with celebrity attention.
Please join us for the opening reception of ‘King for a Day’ on Friday 25th June 2010, from 6-9pm.

Nice and simple style. No need for frilly bits. This one goes out to the dubstep heads…
