International battle for artistic kudos hits Melbourne next week, with the very first heat in the second Australian Secret Wars series. This event has a world wide following, and there have been some amazing battles carried out over the series so far across several continents, and this one will be no exception. First up off

Seeing any event involving Miso or Ghostpatrol is grand – I love the whole pop-up installation/exhibition thing also, and this one adds a bit of paper cathedral building, tattooing, animation, drinks and good times into the mix just to make it even better. From Ghosxtpatrol: “Miso and I are building a paper cathedral, and tattooing

I don’t know how this one eluded me for so long, but it was only recently passed on to me – I think I kept getting confused with the very cool Lost + Found market in Collingwood and the events up in Sydney and Brisbane .. but, nevertheless, I am so going down to Docklands

Busy Friday this week with the opening of the Sweet Street festival, and several other exhibitions – not least including a solo show from Melbourne’s Aramas at the Brunswick Street Gallery. “Evanidus is a collection of paintings and sculptures looking at the vanishing of some the important things in our life; the passing away of

It has to be said, that one of my favorite parts of doing this blog is opening up an email reply from an artist, and reading the replies for the first time – and when its one of many artists who I have admired and followed for a time, its especially fun. Sara Blake is

We love seeing exhibitions from people whose work we’ve followed for some time, especially when its their first solo show. Having followed Deej’s work for some time, with his stylised approach and fresh take on the hiphop-meets-comicbook-meets-lowbrow style, its great to see that he’s getting it out and onto some gallery walls – because it

The folks at Nine Lives Gallery have a showing this Thursday of the second part of Sam Smiths Mad Dogs exhibition. His patterned and semi-chaotically rendered pieces always remind me of large scale etchings and woodcuts, but done with a cool tribal-esque style. It’d be great to be able to get along to see this,

It’s great to see shows happening in Adelaide, and this time its a solo show by the renowned and somewhat infamous Sofles. This four day exhibition will showcase a variety of the Brisane artists work as translated to canvas. “Notorious graffiti figure. Prodigious talent. Sofles has been both reviled and embraced by the media over

Following up from his opening last Friday night for his solo show “Changelings” we managed to grab Perth artist Adrian Baldsings to give us the lowdown on his show at the newly (re)minted These Days gallery. Not being too familiar with Adrians work beyond one or two images around the net, we were impressed to

Okay, so the word dynamo comes to mind when I think of Twoone, and now I’m just going to apply it to Thomas Jackson as well. Only a two or three weeks after their last duo show, they are hitting back again with yet another one – again at the Lo Fi Collective space. This
