Going to the wall: touring Melbourne’s street art

Only $98 for the tour. I wonder how much our beloved artists get from that, let alone if they are exempt from carrying cans and coping fines. Help fill in an ex-pat Melbournite… would ya?

Thanks Kano.

Melbourne based scuplor, tinkerer and artist opened his studio last week to guest in order to give a preview of his latest show bound for Adco:Venue in Copenhagen. Based around the rampaging exploits of a disassociated Pooh bear, the collection featured some awesome model of war machines at key moments of the bears blitzkrieg, painting and sketches outlining the story as well as a murder mystery to boot.

A proper studio should look just like this.

The story starts with Robin coldly dissing Pooh and his pals. At this point Pooh’s world falls apart and the genocidal war against the honey bees begins.

The hallowed walls of Revolver Upstairs feature pieces by renowned artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey (Obey), Perks, Chris Johanson, Reas, Brendan Huntley, Doze Green, Todd James and James Jarvis, John Spooner, Jonathan Hannon (Anti War Whole Food Art & Design), Gus Braidotti, Simon Wood, Robert Nelson, Raph Rashid, Itch, Kano and more.

The Late Show is especially excited to announce Melbourne based creative conglomerate The Serps will be adding some of their unique stylings to the Revolver Walls.  The Serps (also known as The Serpents) was forged during the summer of 2005 by now sober friends, Tristan Ceddia and Brendan Huntley. The  original agenda was simple – to establish a platform through which friends could connect and work across creative projects. Based in Melbourne, Australia, The Serps now have around 30 members within their ranks. Recruiting from coast to coast in Australia, membership stretches as far as San Francisco, Tokyo and New Zealand.

The crew includes people from all walks, including photographers, literary masters, musicians, athletes, fine artists, tattooists, graphic designers, career criminals, graffiti writers, kitchen hands, a-grade students, high school teachers, BBQ specialists, bus drivers, home owners, and competitive cyclists.

We’ve been itching to work with these guys for a long time and after months of planning we’re pleased to launch the Solid Series with an impressive multi-faceted installation from the Serps crew.

Highlights include:
A complete Serps overhaul of Revolver’s showcase graff wall
A colour edition of Revolver’s poster wall by Martin Bell
A brand new permanent wall installation opposite Perks’ iconic  piece
A new Serps x Late Show tee designed by Serps co-founder Tristan Ceddia
Plus an all Serps line up on the decks featuring Emillionz, Ivens, Lazer Bone, Michael K, Rickaz and Olmatic Genius.

Festivities kick off from 7pm on Friday 10th July with free entry until 10pm, free beers from our good friends over at Coopers and a limited number of Serps x Late Show tees to give away. The night also features an impressive array of local, interstate and international acts including The Psyde Projects (live), Digital Primate’s new project Ctrl Frq (live), buzzing Gold Coast house producer Wongo, Croatian/Kiwi sister DJ duo Maya Vanya alongside Late Show Fridays regulars Paz, Mat Cant, Mu-Gen, Lewis Cancut and Who.
