New week, new category – we’ll be posting up any studio related news in the “Studio” category from now on, and any other studios or studio news around Australiasia will go into this section!

Studio Spaces Now Available (Prahran) – Located just off Chapel street, Rival Revolution Studios, where Invurt is based, is now actively seeking artists to come join the space. Studio space partitions have now been built, and we’re looking for creative individuals to come and work with us in the complex! There are a few spaces available, adorned with some grand artwork (see below!) as well as a private room space that would suit a pair of people. We’re a pretty collaborative bunch, and we’re hoping to get people who are not only interested in pursuing their own work, but would like to be a part of our growing little community in the 3181.

Please contact Tony at Rival Revolution on 0425705133 or email givemerival@rivalrevolution.com if you are interested in any of the cool and affordable spaces that are available!

T-Squat Interview – the totally mintox James Watkins from T-Squat has been in and out of the studios in the past few weeks, and he has written a feature article about Rival Revolution and Invurt. If you’re interested in whats been happening behind the scenes, and what Rival Revolution and Invurt actually are and reading an interview with us, then go and take a look!

Studio Paintup Pics

We’ve shown a bunch of snippets here and there on our Facebook page, but here are all the pics of the studio paintup in progress!

There’s actually lots more to come, we’re still collating everything, but this is a bulk of them. Artists in this lot include Heesco, Sim2, Props, Mishap, Enix, Magnus McTavish, Katie Houghton-Ward, Heidi Philips, Ken Taylor, Shida, Jack Douglas, Scale, Aida Sabic, Makatron, Ears, Conrad Bizjak, Cubik, Ed Bechervaise, Pierre Lloga, F@R, Slicer and E.L.K. As you can see, its all a work in progress, but now that the walls are up (which isn’t pictured in this) its really starting to feel like its all coming together and the hard work is paying off!

The first set is the collection of images we took of the actual building and painting of the Invurt Studio.

This second set, is of the Rival Revolution paintup sessions, such a great day, all driven by fun, passion, and, of course, Doss Blockos!

Thanks to James Watkins and Lara Dale for all the images (the non-dodgy point and shoot ones are all my abominations!) You can find all of these, and a whole heap more on our Facebook page!

We’d also like to thank all of the artists, friends, and everyone else involved who have supported us over the last few months in helping us transform everything – and a special mention and to our man Jacob, who has hammered and nailed, sawed, drilled and even bled on all of the construction work! Thanks everyone, you’re the fkn best.
