griv visits Malmo

griv — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:06:30 +0000

Went day tripping to Sweden on the ferry from Denmark… fun times. Walked (and paddle boated) around Malmo and stumbled upon Sonic Youth etc: Sensational Fix, an exhibition by / about the band and their influence on alternative culture over the last 28 years. Was really impressive. Everything from their old guitars and tour posters to video / sound installations. Saw the little knitted toy from the Dirty cover! Kim Gordon had a bunch of her stuff in it. I can’t believe she’s 56.

We weren’t meant to take photos but I had to get this one, who’d have thought a room 3 inches deep in vinyl would be so soft to walk on?

Check it out if you’re in the area.

Around the streets I found a secluded colourful wall with one of the best pieces I have seen in a while. Definitely my kinda place.

griv visits London

Wasn’t in town long and wanted to do some paste ups but got way too drunk at Shunt Lounge and ended up distributing the posters throughout the venue. Anyone visiting London should definitely check out Shunt. It has a really cool vibe and is filled with all things weird and wonderful, with different performance art / film / music each night. Definitely a highlight of my week. Thanks to znort and co for helping me out!

I walked around all afternoon in Shoreditch and found a few trinkets of colour.

Berlin Wall

Hurben was just recently involved in creating what is now being touted as being Western Australia’s largest Street Art Mural. The artwork transcends all four sides of a building on Roe Street, Northbridge and used to be the old Berlin Nightclub. It is currently Artrage’s storage space and Marcus Canning is the guy who organised the occasion.

The south wall of the building was painted by Creepy, Hurben, Sam DeSouza and Jodee Knowles. That’s a lot of leaves Creepy!

There’s some talk of lightboxes being installed amongst the artwork. Go Perth!
