Despite the what it says in the press, sadly I will not be taking part. But don’t let that stop ya!!!!

Say Hi to Lister for me.

BlackArtsProjects are putting on a drawing show. Some AMAZING artists!

100 is a project that challenges the notion of ‘drawing’ by means of presenting an exhibition of works that engage the act of drawing in relation to facets of perception, process and the capacity for individual invention. It seeks to encourage discussion about the relevance and transformation of drawing in contemporary art practices today.

Artists are not limited by traditional conventions, media or size in realising artworks for exhibition.

I was selected as a finalist of the RBS Emerging Artist Award. The exhibition will be open to the public till Friday 28th October during business hours at RBS Tower, 88 Phillip Street Sydney. Congratulations to the winners and to my boy Ghostpatrol (also a finalist)

Here’s a preview of my piece for an art show to coincide with the Sugar Mountain festival. Look out for friends Twoone, Mark Whalen, Stefan Marx and Cody Hudson’s work as well as Qua performing.

After an incredibly successful season at the NGA Space Invaders is beginning its tour of the country starting in Brisbane.

From the University of Queensland website:

Playful, edgy, clever and satirical, the works in Space invaders have appeared in city streets around Australia. Street art has significantly altered Australian visual culture, especially over the past decade. It has announced the arrival of a new generation of contemporary artists.

This exciting exhibition looks at street art of the past 10 years by more than 40 of the most prolific and infamous street artists working in Australia today. The works are from the National Gallery of Australia’s growing collection of street art—the only one of its kind in an Australian public gallery.

I won’t be able to make it, but I’m hoping to be in Queensland soon!

Edwina Corlette is having a group show to coincide with the National Gallery of Australia’s touring Space Invaders exhibition at the University of Queensland Art Museum.

Here’s a timelapse video of me installing my piece for  Space Invaders at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. The whole process stretched over four days (note the costume changes). Thanks to John at the NGA for the photos, and Nick, Georgia, and Jaklyn. Also thanks to Elbone for the video.

Space Invaders

So I went off to Canberra to install my piece for Space Invaders at the National Gallery of Australia. I wrote a quick post at Wooden Foundations about it.

My boy Scottie (aka Bonsai) has a show coming up.
