‘Double Vision’ - So Long MILS - You Will be Missed!

Well its not often somewhere or anywhere gets blogged two posts in a row. But, seeing MILS has skipped straight from MLS052 to ‘Double Vision’ MLS999 the Final Show Ever and one last night on the Rivet! I think it's right to do an EPIC MILS POST sending all the SFS readers along to pay homage to this wonderful and original gallery one last time. Thank you to Huw Lewis and Adriano Rosselli AKA h.j.huwman and Drano; everyone that has taken part in running the gallery and all those who have exhibited there (a link the the seven shows covered on SFS below). So long MILS Gallery you will be missed. ‘Double Vision’ is on until the 3rd of July.

On the Rivet - Art & Fashion - Well we like that!

And I like it when my weeks meanderings turn into some sort of mostly coherent visual significance; and photography for you. My first show of the week (starts 3rd shot down) was Tyrannium by Dionysos Anton at KUDOS Gallery which features youth-style inspired art and a number of jackets that had been artified as well as rugs/wall hangings from upcycled fabrics, the denim wall work is pictured below. All along with a collection of drawings large and small and sculptural pieces that were not 'fashion' a billy/go-cart (looked like a dad build to me); a forest of stakes.. a video edit of Japanese Godzilla animations - everything a budding young heart could desire - and I loved it!

Of course it's also VIVID Sydney so I have been prowling around working on my 2016 VIVID photographic project. Which is just how I came to bump into two of the artists who were servicing their artworks, which were a little worse for wear after the terrible weekend weather.. Then last night the Duchamp meets Non-Objective works of Joe Wilson & Chanelle Collier at their show ART THAT DOES at Mils Gallery; and a diversely stylish art crowd very much in evidence. All of which was capped off by the jacket, patches, rings and tattooed fingers of the lady immediately below; as I left the Shakespeare Hotel after a steak and chips and another glass of ale. As always lots to see in Sydney, these shows are all on now; links below.

Street Fashion & Art Nudes at Mils Gallery.

Friday evening found Street Fashion Sydney at Mils Gallery in Surry Hills for Artist and Photographer Vladimir Kravchenko's opening of his exhibition of nudes wearing masks; Know Thyself. This is an interesting show where all the nudes are photographed wearing  masks made by fellow artist Nicole Toms, so a bit of a collaboration going on as well. Nudes made work safe where they appear; with apologies to the artists. Check out the show or the website, at Mils Gallery. Scroll down for the Street Fashion on the night.
