Our very own Hurben, has been meticulously putting together work for his new show entitled, ‘If U Were Here, U’d Be Hurben By Now’. The show opens @ 7pm, February 26th 2010 and will be open on Friday and Saturday nights for 5 weeks. The Grey Door is a new small bar and exhibition space located behind the Claremont Hotel. Please come and show your support.
We were delighted to have participated in the 2009 Melbourne Stencil Festival. The Festival took place across two venues, the Yarra Sculpture Gallery and the Collingwood Underground. The Sculpture Gallery was host to an exhibition full of stencil-driven artworks and the Underground space focused on site-specific sculpture and aerosol work, as well as residencies and workshops.
We submitted our ‘Conspiracy’ works into the Sculpture Gallery exhibition and on arrival, we were given a van to paint. We then proceeded to wrap the van in rope-parrots. As well as churning out a few other stencil artworks for the final day auction, Shensing and Hurben painted a childish tale of a reptilian enamoured with a surly fowl.
Melbourne is a city very much alive with culture, the street-art competes effectively with the advertising and the food is delicious and cared for. We will be going back very soon.
We got some time-lapse and added Philly Blunt music to it.

We were asked to pretty up the interior of the Gasworks building for the huge 2009 Perth Fashion Festival. Together with THNK, Mr Ben, Sam Knest, HI8US, Jodee Knowles and Sam Desouza we created a zany array of fashionable artwork. Particularly fond of the way the ‘sock-puppet’ grins down at the catwalk models as they enter and exit the catwalk. Oh and please forgive the quality of the photos, not sure where my camera is.. snif!
ABC’s Sunday Arts program recently played a segment on our ReFace project from the last Perth International Arts Festival.
The ReFace website is still going strong, keep posting your pics!
Thanks to everyone who turned up at the Condor Car Park launch last weekend, it was a huge turnout and blew our minds. Perth is obviously yearning for some colourful urban art action and we’re glad we could help showcase some of this. I think we had a few thousand punters through, nine million photos taken, a couple of paramedics helping, served a bucketload of booze and generally had a raging party.
Props must go to all the artists that gave their time over the past year and to everyone who helped out on the night. You know who you are. Special hugs go to Rashas, SJK, John Macliver who turned up the heat in the final weeks and were imperitive to it all coming together. Big ups to Philly Blunt and Jerrem for the live entertainment. Lastly, a jinky cheers to the developers of Condor for being champs and looking the other way when we broke probably all of WA’s OHS laws.
We’ve had a lot of emails asking if the car park is still open for viewing, unfortunately no… it was a one night only show. You’ll have to make friends with a resident of the building. We are however planning on launching a photo book in the coming months, stay tuned for updates. Right now we’re enjoying having our weekends back and resting our trigger fingers.
