junky project

junky projectI was walking back to the car after dinner on Elizabeth Street and I looked up at something hanging off the wooden telegraph pole. A quick picture, some admiration and I was on my way. Later I twittered the image and a mate sent me a link the junky project.

In the words of special agent junatronic:      junky is an enigmatic street art avenger who creates creatures from the debris of society, then resurrects them onto wooden telegraph poles and other forgotten places around the globe, (well around Australia so far). All my work is made entirely from recycled or found objects except the nails, i can never find enough nails. I found that there was a bit of a following for my work here on flickr, so i decided to open an account and upload my documentation of this ongoing project. All hail the mighty junky army, for soon there global invasion will be complete. Piece.

Keep an eye out in Melbourne town, or any where through the east coast for that matter.

Unsensored09 invitation

Melbourne Silver Mine Inc presents…

UNSENSORED09

AN EXHIBITION OF ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY

Collingwood Gallery 292 Smith Street Collingwood – 7-19 August 2009

Opening Night Friday 7th August 2009 at 6pm

Gallery times: Mon-Fri 12-8pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm

=================================================================
Now in its third year, The Melbourne Silver Mine’s UNSENSORED09 is the work of 44
artists using film in their photographic expression.

The spectrum of methods, genres and statements in the exhibited works are as broad
as the spectrum of artists, and visitors can expect everything from the polished to the lo-fi,
avant garde to traditional, shot on equipment from modern to nigh-arcane. Film is the
common thread in the group: each artist exploits the nuances of film-based capture in
tandem with new post-analogue processes and methods.

Works will be available for purchase during the exhibition, and many of the artists will
be present through the duration of the show and on opening night.

Unsensored07 saw 12 photographers presenting work, which doubled in 2008.
Unsensored expands once again in 2009, continuing to showcase new works by
emerging photographers. Unsensored09 is a project of The Melbourne Silver Mine,
a non-profit incorporated association based in Melbourne, Australia.

The group was formed by a group of enthusiastic analogue photographers. Its purpose
is to encourage and promote the continued use, unique features and appreciation of
traditional photographic techniques and equipment.

The exhibition features the work of the following photographers (all are members of the Melbourne Silver Mine)

Rhys Allen, Roberts Birze, Zaeem Burq, Lucian Chaffey, Dave Chin, Andrew J Cosgriff, Alistair Dickinson, Barbara Fischer, Peter Fritze, Ravnish S Gandhi, Tim Heraud, Nick Hinch, Michael Holbrook, Ross Holmberg, Paul Hocksenar, Bronwen Hyde, Hamish Innes-Brown, Skye Johnson, Timothy Johnson, Matthew Joseph, Michael Le Fevre, Jaye Loring, Giovanni Lovisetto, Iain Maclachlan, Chris Matterson, Jodie Noonan, James Oates, Vinnie Piatek, Ambre Pitt, Karen Riley, Ahmad Sabra, Jesper Sidhu, Cameron J Stephen, Paul Stoney, Ray Strong, Jesse Swallow, Reinis Traidas, Michael Verhoef, Christian Were, Katherine White, Damian Young, Rob Young, Jacqueline van Zetten and Chris Zissiadis.

=================================================================

I will be exhibiting recent works of the Heavenly Queen on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. Which was shot using my trusty Holga 120n and some expired Fujichrome Velvia 100 @ ISO 100.

mca exhibition: i walk the line

richard_lewer

Whilst recently in Sydney, I took some time to check out a current MCA exhibition: I Walk The Line – New Australian drawing. This collection of mostly young Australian artists  brings together some amazing images. As you enter the exhibition space you are face to face with Richard Lewer’s 7 metre, incredibly bold piece! The image above will give you an idea of the scale of this drawing. At the base of the drawing were various spent pieces of  pencil and charcoal.

iwalktheline

The work of Laith McGregor (pictured left: Untitled, 2008), was so detailed. Utilising nothing more than biro on paper, I could have stared at his mirrored drawings for hours. His second drawing  “Hex 2008″ which depicts six bearded men each with their own story to tell, truly amazing.

Dorota Mytych‘s work was stunning with ant like figures making up the greater image. I was also in awe of the news-roll style work of Locust Jones, Everyday Atrocities which curved around the entire room. There was so much depth in this drawing that it would literally take you months to discover all that us has to offer.

If you are in Sydney do take the time to get along to see this one. There are some amazing drawings on show! The show is running from 17 March – 24 May 2009 at the MCA in Sydney. Admission is FREE.
