The LTRHDS (letterheads) exhibition explores the flexibility of the English alphabet in contemporary art by bringing together 26 esteemed artists from different parts of the world and from difference artistic disciplines; graphic, comic, fine, illustration, tattoo, graffiti, asking them to interpret a single letter each to make up an exhibition of the English alphabet.
I don’t know how many of you remember the first letterheads show way back in 06, in a space we opened called Wooden Shadow, my memory of the whole event is hazy, epic party, awesome show, one of the first international gigs by Flying Lotus. 4 years on the 2010 show promises to match the awesomeness in every way.

TwoOne “So Far”
A short review by Sean.
After his first successful solo exhibition, 1000 cans, TwoOne has returned with a vast, equally ambitious and exciting body of work for his new show “So Far”.
Filling the entire gallery space are hanging installation works of various size and shape, all with painted motifs of god-like animals, patterns and bones. Instantly you are drawn into the mysterious teachings of TwoOne’s gritty spirituality and there is a sense of wandering through a hallucination. There is beauty and warmth in the earthy tones of paint, flow in the playful lines and forms of the gesturing animals and figures, and a curious contrast in the triangle shaped boards and compartments that house metal parts and images of bones, spines and skulls.
As if on the road to seeking an East-Asian old world spiritual deity, “So Far” exhibits TwoOne’s discoveries thus far. A massive dream catching satellite dish channels thoughts and visions to the walls as clinical compartmentalised boxes. Each is made of found wood and board, discarded and or used skateboard parts, wire and bottles of noxious liquids. Everything that was used along the road now becomes part of his spiritual collections. Skate trucks become a spine, a tense wire becomes a sinewy tendon, worn down wheels form the cells of travel weary flesh. There is something very fragile and human about it all. Each object been chosen, categorized and enshrined with a painted animal, looking over or intertwining with the object like a guardian protecting sacred treasure.
TwoOne’s exhibition “So Far” is currently showing at he No Vacancy gallery, off Jane Bell Ave. 3rd Level QV building until 27th September.

So Far, the second solo show by Two One, one of Melbourne’s leading artist will be officially launching tomorrow night at No Vacancy.
And seeing as collectors and fans alike gearing up for what will no doubt be another awesome collection, I shot a short interview at Two so as to catch up with the Japanese/Melbourne artists and get some information on what to expect.
People still talk about your debut show, The 1000 Can show, which was nearly 2 years ago, what have you been working in the time between.
Just after the 1000 can show I was invited to the No Vacancy gallery opening show and after that I was involved in even more group shows while working on few murals, installations and commission paintings.
I’ve also been working on performance project Lo2’s Fleet with Elf Tranzpoter. I did live paint, destroy, recreating, and sound performance. Painted some walls in Thailand as well with some locals. It has been very busy.
How does “So Far” relate to the “1000 Can Show”?
I’m not sure how it’s relating, but I know I couldn’t do “So Far” if I didn’t do “1000 Can show”. The first show made me able to think bigger scale, and to think that it is possible to get better if you put mind in to it.
As you’ve said before allot of the inspiration for your work come from dreams, are there any particular dreams of images that are represented in your latest show?
Yes there are some pieces based on dream image, but lately I have been trying to change my painting process. I used to paint based more on story of the dream. now I’m more concentrating on capture moment, object, or feel that I felt in dream.
So like rusty metal piece next to moon or a dice which include numbers, sand timer, and Indian bull. These are harder things to explain in words
What projects do you have planned after this show?
Probably, I should not tell plans before they start to be formed clearly. So that I not became a liar.
Two and Meggs stop to check out the show during installation.
