There’s a story I was told by someone in Singapore that really resonated with me on the topic of the arts, culture and freedom of expression, and it goes something like this – “The government decided to build a new MRT (train) station, but, after it had been completed they decided not to open it.
You’ve probably just read my interview with Vhils. We were lucky enough to catch him while he was in Sydney. God I wish I was there! Can’t wait to see the works from the show. The show opens tomorrow night at 6, details below. From the media release “Skalitzers Contemporary Art presents Dissolve by acclaimed
After success making it as a finalist (and the 1st ever stencil artist to enter) in the 2012 Archibald prize E.L.K’s (aka Luke Cornish) latest entry into the 2013 Sulman Prize “Trickle down effect” has seen him become a finalist again (and again Luke is the 1st stencil artist). The finalists and winner for the
I was having a cigarette outside a gallery opening some years back when I spotted my first Will Coles piece. No, it wasn’t in the gallery itself – it was stuck up high on a bit of guttering, glued in place – I’d only noticed it as I’d been half drunkenly staring up into space.

We had news last week that one of Indonesia’s top street artists, Darbotz, will be heading down to Melbourne to have a solo show later this month. We’ve seen a bit of Darbotz work before, but we’re even more excited after having followed up on it all, and got a bit more info on the

This is the first in our run down of all the shit that we love that we’ve seen has been entered into the 2013 Archibald Prize – theres a few more to come, and hopefully we’ll see some of this stuff go all the way to the final prize! Adnate has been producing some amazing
Revolver is always doing great stuff with street art and graffiti and here’s yet another example. Shida and Knarf have just painted the big wall in the smoking yard. Their work alone is amazing but put them together and the results are stunning. [nggallery id=230 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_pro_masonry] Thanks to Revolver arts for the photos. Make sure
