MCA, Gaffa Gallery & The Sydney High Lock

When heading out and running late the quickest way for me to get into the city is to cycle over to Sydenham Station, lock up my bike and catch the train. Last Thursday on my way to the new Gaffa Gallery in Sydney that is exactly what I did but imagine my complete surprise when arriving at the lock-up-spot at the station I saw my first 'High Locked' bike in Sydney. Apparently this is an imported idea from the NYC cycling scene. Whilst I was delighted in how the bike framed a curious composition with the city in the background; I was at the same time rather bemused as to why someone had taken so much trouble locking up such a basic commuter bike. We shall most likely never know.

The new Gaffa Gallery is a multi storied wonder and the MCA Staff Show was a great way for me to experience Gaffa's new gallery spaces. After photographing artist Mark Booth downstairs (The B&W Portrait) we able to head upstairs and cavort with the artists and friends on the roof top.

The Psychic Photobooth 2009 - Mixed Dozen

Friday night Opening of Mixed Dozen, Nov 27 to Dec 8 at Gaffa Gallery. I loved Malcolm's Photobooth piece which was clearly the hit of the show. Art can be fun too! There's some great photography work by Torunn Momtazi, Emma Furno and Diego Ibanez amongst others, well worth a look.
