Last night we headed down to the newly minted “Litre Space” off Franklin st for the solo show from Dangerfork/ID/Safehouse stalwart, Chris Drummond.
Firstly – we fucking love Litre Space. It’s perfect. Where some galleries go for wide encompassing spaces, Litre has played to its strength – its a mad space, in miniature. Seriously. I figure maybe three, maybe four people could fit in there – and it works. The focus is entirely on the art, not the event itself, which the “foyer” (ie, the laneway outside) plays host to. This gave everyone an uninterrrupted look at the art on show – it felt intimate, and appealing.
It’s our new favourite space.
Not only that, but Chris Drummonds works showed him for exactly what he is – a master of letters and screens. His cut letters, screen printed ink transparencies and overlays and beautifully rendered works were grand, and seeing how he was able to transform humble “screenprints” into fully fledged works of art was humbling. Not surprising, considering the quality of the works hes done with Dangerfork.
Check out the images below, and get a feel for it – but, Litre space, and Drummonds work, really needs to be seen with the eye to fully appreciate it.
