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.

Due to me being in Hillerod, Denmark, I needed a way to get my face into the car park launch… grivbot was the answer. What I didn’t plan on was masses of people that showed up and basically choked the wireless connection. Quick to the rescue was Paul Bui, who connected his laptop up through his phone and became my surrogate for the evening. He did whatever I asked of him, and although he’s a little shorter than I’m used to, I got to talk to people and generally experience the event… all whilst getting drunk on the couch. A big thank you to Paul and to those of you that took the time to say hi!

Below is the skype recording, sped up 3000% so you don’t have to watch 4 hours of it. The music is “Good” by Philly Blunt, who provided the slick beats for most of the night.

We’re still in the midst of collating launch pics and footage… stay tuned for updates.

ABC’s Stateline recently interviewed us about the Condor Tower Car Park project and the upcoming launch. Was good to see how expansive the space looks on film. Maybe some of you artists can see your head on there?

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.

A collaborative exhibition with Creepy and Joshua Weeks. We painted the walls of the Projection Lounge and had a free-vodka infused opening party. A massive thankyou to Christie Clements-Shepherd.
