Description:
Technology gave us the wheel and the pop art toaster, but it should have stopped there. Now it's all global warming and tweets. It's the gradual disappearance of album art as music zooms from the internet to ears without so much as a glimpse of the cover. Ugh! Thankfully, artist David Homer has identified this problem and set about rescuing the record sleeve.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: Easy on the eyes
Christopher Hanrahan, The Seeker
If you've ever seen the Disney film Holes, you will know that Sigorney Weaver can be downright frightening and digging a hole builds character. You will also know that if you find something interesting in the dug hole, you get a day off. It's a similar story with Christopher Hanrahan's artwork (minus scary Sigorney).
Gallery Nothing
Remember Nothing Mag? It was great! Unfortunately, it died. Sometimes things die, OK? Like terminally ill puppies and kittens in house fires. But there's no need to get maudlin about it. Death brings new life - spring and flowers, baby birds tweeting the the trees, tiny lambs and all that jazz.
Take Gallery Nothing for instance, which quietly erupted from Nothing Mag's ashes like a bouncy, bright-eyed puppy with a clean bill of health and a microchip.
The Game of Places, Hosang Park
Hosang Park's strange aerial images (like this one) depict fabricated city spaces that are utterly lifeless. His use of a bird's-eye view distorts things by taking away perspective and depth; making the controlled spaces even more impersonal.
Park is one of five young Korean photographers whose work is included in THE GAME OF PLACES, currently on at UTS Gallery.
China Heights, New Location
China Heights has moved, that's right. No more climbing a gazillion floors for art props. No more Foster Street, it's now about the Crown.
The name China Heights came about when the gallery owners Mark and Ed realised that their gallery overlooked China Town - and was really high up. Geddit? Even though the new China Heights gallery is on Crown Street, the name still rings true.
Mission Restaurant & Bar
Pre-empting our cry for small bars by opening about a year ago, Mission bravely adopted the mould of a restaurant-come-bar-come-art-gallery. Located on an appealingly innocuous side street, in an old Gothic Revival church sandwiched between former warehouses, Mission channels Lower East Side hidden chic almost too well.
Bad Faith, Adam Constenoble
Imagine we could use chroma key greenscreens to get away from it all - just super impose ourselves onto a backdrop of choice, and be gone.
For his installation BAD FAITH, Sydney artist Adam Costenoble drew on ideas of self-imposed exile, transgression from civilization, and the notion of living an independent, self-sustained existence in geographic isolation.
