Photographer's Style - Redfern Street Redfern

On Saturday afternoon I attended the opening of the Jill Crossley 'Beyond Looking' exhibition. Its a beautiful show of black and white photographs of 'abstracts from nature' at the Arthere gallery- quite mysterious and beautiful. The show was opened by Robert McFarlane who has know Jill for very many years and provided some insight into her working life as a photographer and; some tips on viewing her work. Do visit this show!

After the show I coffee with my friends the photographers Sandra R and Lynn Smith; Lynn showed recently at Arthere.. and though I have known Lynn 'online' for years, it was lovely to finally meet him in person. And as a bit of a celebration of the meeting and at Lynn's prompting; here is a commemorative portrait of my two friends Sandra and Lynn looking very much like two photographers, holding up a wall in Redfern. Love you guys.

Elodie Silberstein - Sydney Fringe 2011 - CarriageWorks

The exhibition is called IMMERSE and it is a group show at CarriageWorks, part of Sydney Fringe 2011.

Elodies work "The Lost World, 2010" is an instillation (and for the opening) a performance piece which I found to be a completely immersive and mildly disturbing experience. While the three pictures below provide some visual clues as to content of the work and some of its intimate nature, they are but clues and clues alone. The artwork itself is like some-kind-of perfect-fusion; Marcel Duchamp's 'Etant donnés', and George Bataille's 'Story of the Eye' with Grimm's fairy tail'Hansel and Gretel'. This is very much an experiential piece taking in elements of all the five senses...









And being a group show there is additional video, photographic works, Collage based works and the audience-collaborative work pictured below, 'Eleventh Hour' by 'Archrival' of trellis and thread.


I will be heading back to take another look at this exhibition before it closes on the 17th of September. CarriageWorks, Bay 19, 245 Wilson Street

Medium Rare Fashion (With Extra Cheeese)!

It can be hard work finding people on the street with great fashion sense. But if you get along to a cool group art exhibition chances are you are going to be spoilt for choices in the style stakes.
That was exactly the case when Street Fashion Sydney took their camera along to the Extra Cheeese (with three e’s) opening at Medium Rare Gallery in Redfern Sydney on a very warm Friday night.
Light cotton sun frocks were in abundance along with shift dresses, tee shirts with great graphic prints and a whole host of groovy footwear from runners to heels to work boots (with floral print sun dress). Kaori was a tough taskmaster on the night making sure I did as many full length shots as possible. Thanks to everyone who stood still for the camera, Medium Rare gallery and all the Artists for hanging a great show and for all the Grolsch beer which seems to have made its way into almost every shot LOL!
