PIX SETS - Fibre FEMMES - All Female Paste up & Stencil Exhibition -

Its been almost 3 weeks since we opened the door at our new gallery and featured a killer debut exhibition 

 FIBRE FEMMES

There has been so many amazing sets of photos up and blog posts, and I feel the need to archive them all in one place.......




Here's the links to all the photostreams with props to the peeps who supported us. 

Our posse over at INVURT did an entire week of interviews with our femmes, one per day as a lead up to the opening, you can read them all HERE - just click on each link that will take to straight to INVURTS page, BTW this is a blog well worth checking everyday.

 Melbourne Street Art who made us an awesome promo video

 created this SET taken with a fish eye lens, really lush pix. 

Send MSA a friends add on Facey, you will keep in the Street Art loop through your newsfeed if you do.

Dean Sunshine master of Street Art Archiving, created this awesome SET of pix, nice and large and easy to view - his is a blog to follow, as Dean is more often then not the first on the scene - like a street art forensic photographer!

Opening night - Phoenix the Street Artist - IN HERE.OUT THERE Exhibition

I love this exhibition, we are very honoured to have this body of work in our humble little space.

Phoenix's work in the street and on the galley wall, triggers off a whole range of thought provoking questions, about ecology, nature, synergy, politics science, art...... and my personal fav the unconscious mind.

Its not just the content of his work, its the way he goes about doing it, analog styles, cutting and pasting (with glue and scissors not a mouse and a click) layering and texturising, bodies of work that could, and will still be something else entirely different from what it might have started out from, imagery that repeats itself through many different forms, he likes repetition... as Phoenix says 'it takes 10'000 hours of practice (repetition) to become a genius'
Some might just say Phoenix is that, a genius!

Dean Sunshine who is a LEGEND! organised Stella Artois as beer sponsorship and CASSETTE to do our epic layout and print job of the flyer.

Dean Sunshine has a great blog called Land of Sunshine that's ALL about archiving Street Art - he has done a post featuring a collection of Phoenix's pix on the street, many that are now hanging on the wall in the gallery space.

There has been a heap of Media around Phoenix's exhibition at Surface POP, including The Age, Beat Mag, Inpress Mag,  Super Future, Life Lounge,  T-Squat, many on-line blogs and a nice little wrap up from INVERT  big ups from Deano, Phoenix and Surface POP for the props.

Robert Lukins article that featured in Inpress can be viewed HERE on his personal blog, its a well crafted and thought out article about Phoenix rising from the ashes

 When I finally watched 'Exit through the gift shop' last night, I was in fits of laughter watching Shepard Fairey at the photocopy machine..... bit of a private joke..... but I totally think Phoenix should marry Office Works - or in the very least own one!

Aarrrh the life of a Street Artist.....

Phoenix the Street Artist - IN HERE : OUT THERE - Exhibition Opening March 10

Surface POP and Dean Sunshine are proud to announce Phoenix the Street Artist's first solo show!

IN HERE : OUT THERE 

 Phoenix, one of Melbourne’s hottest new street artists, presents 'In Here Out There'  

from Thursday 10th March. 

 In 2004, the artist lost nearly all his collage-based works in a fire that tore through his studio.  

Scouring through the burnt remains, he discovered some singed works had miraculously survived. 

From these ashes Phoenix the Street Artist was born. 

Seven years on, the burnt works, copies of his works from the streets, and brand new pieces will be exhibited  

at ‘In Here : Out There’, his first solo exhibition. 

 Phoenix brings to the gallery wall  the art of the street at the Surface Pop Up Shop in St Kilda.
