| Young And Baroque Artist Markets - August 1st 2010 |
Rachael O'Neill's Capturing Compassion exhibition is now over. Rachael was a joy to work with in her first exhibition, and we're delighted to have been able to provide her with the opportunity to show her powerful works. Her exhibition raised nearly $500 for NSW Women's Refuge Movement and to the Human Rights Watch. Congratulations Rachael!
Opening at 6pm this Friday August 6th is Catch 22, the debut exhibition by two young ambitious gentlemen, James Jeffery Moran, and Ry Wilkin. Exploring a contemporary view on the relationship between photography and painting, the two artists work in contrasting yet complimentary mixed-media styles that are sure to knock your socks off. Be sure to come by for opening night to chat with the artists, have a drink, and enjoy a guest music performance by CHASING GHOSTS. Exhibition runs until August 14.
Following Catch 22, ARThive proudly presents Ten Chicken McNuggets, a photographic essay in pollution and fast food economics by Matthew Reilly. This exhibition will be running from August 18 to August 28, be sure to see this unique solo show!
Other upcoming exhibitions include solo shows by Steven Nuttall and Mike Foxall. Keep an eye out for those!
The third in our Cuddle Party series of experimental sounds and good time events took place on July 18, featuring a stellar lineup of Sydney, Newcastle, and Melbourne music talent. Some highlights included the return of Chris Hearn's SCALPS project after a 4 year absence, a free improv set from PENGUINS and MELODIES, and the always brutal grindcore of GRANNYFIST. Cuddle Party will be back soon.
Our first ever Young and Baroque Artist Market was an incredibly popular day of handcrafted goods, original artworks, photo prints, cookies, and heaps more.
