Rolling in NSW

lostpants — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:38:52 +0000

‘This is How We Roll’ is a group exhibition featuring 24 local and international artists, including ELEMENT ADVOCATES BRETT CHAN, BEASTMAN, ANDY MURPHY AND ELEMENT TEAM RIDER BJORN JOHNSTON. Held at the China Heights Gallery in Surry Hills, ‘TIHWR’ Sydney follows on from a very successful stint in Perth, and brings the work of an amazing group of talent together in one place.

If you are an art aficionado, a collector, a free-drink drinker or just someone who likes to socialise in the afterglow that comes with a room full of artists, then keep August 20 open.

Ben Barretto has been an active artist for a long time. I originally met Ben through a dubious mutual skateboarding relation but has since been on the radar for more project based art works, which have been both impressive visually and conceptually.

Often the ‘Rube Goldberg’ quality of Ben’s works coupled with the scale of the installation work is the most striking aspect, but with a dash of medium transcendence in the melting pot this proves an interesting recipe.

Ben has a show of new works coming up which includes more sound elements than previous projects I’ve seen. The show will include “…several musical instruments all directed by the humble pedestal fan, his chosen materials are forced to extend beyond their apparent functionality…” and “…ideas of material and function explored in a series of recent paintings…”

The show opens on Thursday June 10th, 6pm at Freerange, 339 Wellington Street, Perth. It runs Friday through Monday 10am-4pm.

Skaters in San Fran must go through a lot of wheels… I spent just 2 weeks there skating around as a tourist and managed to wear a set down to the point I needed to replace them.
