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.

We are ecstatic to announce the inclusion of ReFace in the 2009 Perth International Arts Festival.

ReFace is one of the inaugural recipients of the iArts grant, made possible by the ABC, ScreenWest and DCA. The project focuses on creating dialogue between traditional art going folk and practitioners of emerging disciplines of street art.

ololo and WBMC are teaming up to bring Perth a 4 night, multi site projection installation on the buildings of the CBD. Works submitted by users through the ReFace website, and curated by well respected members of the arts community, will be projected on the biggest surfaces we can find!

So start collecting all those photos and get them ready to upload in the new year.

Keep visiting www.abc.net.au/reface to stay upto date.
