ON NOW - The latest iteration of the Shirley, Smith & Jones art exhibitions opened last night at Shop Gallery, 121 Glebe Point Road Glebe, Sydney. It's the first time I have made it to an opening there; though I've seen a previous exhibition. James Scanlon presented a short opening speech 'heckleing is fine but you will need to speak up, I'm my hearings going, if you want to heckle and a response, maybe put your hand up first so I can read your lips' He then posited that the series of shows may be an Art Movement - 'Old Romantics' but the work is serious if not with a capital S, even if the opening light hearted. I was mostly there for Michael Shirley's 40+ years of Film based photography well no choice in the beginning but he's still shooting film. 23-28 August 2024
