In contrast to the silent but deadly variety, GAS is an annual art event that promises to be a loud and proud affair. Showcasing graphic design, illustration, photography, sculpture, film, street art and graffiti, the event aims to give time-poor/debt-rich artists the chance to get their stuff seen by peeps on the street.
This year GAS consists of two main parts: a rockin' exhibition (read: live music and free booze on opening night) and a three/four day, er, viral campaign featuring artists' works in train stations, on bus stops and projected on buildings around Sydney.
Put on by the appropriately named art posse Sense Assault (and sponsored by 2T no less) the exhibition also boasts an appearance by a surprise international artist who will be exhibiting and developing an explosive new piece on opening night.
Organisers are currently looking for works to include in the event so arty farty types should send a low-res jpeg with name and contact details to gas@senseassault.com anytime before 20 July. But why wait? Like Snoop says, now's the time to drop it like it's hot.
