Sydney’s aMBUSH Gallery brings us an exciting and innovative new show from a wicked line up of artists including:

Bec Winnel, Beastman, Mini Graff, Benjamin Reeve, Rena Littleson,  Mark Alsweiler, , Penelope Cain, Jane Gillings, Aaron Seymour, Kirsten Farrell, Maricor Maricar, Claire Nakazawa, Magnus McTavish, Numskull, Phibs, Ben Frost and more.

The exhibition and its artists explore the realities of copyright in visual arts through a large array of works, which themselves are recycled and, in turn, recyclable!

” The creative community is changing; a culture is emerging allowing artists to appropriate, integrate and remix each others’ work. But coupled with these notions of inspiration and freedom to create are issues of piracy, legal licensing and artistic ownership. Etcc takes the debate and slams it right on the gallery wall, with each artist creating a work that is both recycled and recyclable. Each work recycles licensed Creative Commons images, and is in turn licensed for others to remix – legally. What results is an interactive process that highlights how most art is derivative in nature, while questioning the ramifications of this on the artistic community.”

The accompanying Beastman pic is absolutely divine and just another level of cool on top of what looks to be a great show.
