Sugar and Spice

Hello fellow bloggers!
We have been some busy bees over the last month, without picking up a pencil!
A road trip to Adelaide to pull down a successful show at Zootz. Thankyou to all that went to see, the response was great! There are also works currently up at Chapel Hill Winery, thanks to AP Bond.

We have also secured 3 new exhibitions for 2012. The first in the January school holidays at Zootz, the second in the Easter Holidays at AP Bond and the 3rd is set to open on July 11th at Louey and Lane, Melbourne. Currently in discussions with Mildura's Gallery 25 for dates in 2012 also!

We had a massive studio dedicated day this Thursday - Got all our works finalised for Swan Hill (1st August). I've posted some picsas we have some new stuff to show you!!! The exhibition - titled Sugar and Spice - will feature paste up works pasted directly onto the gallery walls, with our works hung over the top and spray patterns and drips combining the two.

Will post pics of the hung works in our next blog.
Until then! xx

Missing Person

Hi everyone
It feels like years since I have made art or been in the process of packing an exhibition up ready for transportation. In reality - it has been 2 weeks...

Im scrambling my mind to think whats next. Group show in Melbourne! Collingwood gallery to be exact. 26th June. Invite to be posted on here when it is available :) There will be at least 2 new works from us - and possibly a large new piece if there is room spare!

Our next 'solo?' if you can call us solo, is August at Swan Hill titled 'Sugar and Spice'. A collection of childhood iconic imagery. What iconic images can you suggest from your childhood? A whole new exhibition! It is exciting starting something from scratch - again :)

On a sad note - Im hating being so far from my collaborator. Too much time to think and little inspiration. Need more paint to board!!!

Hope you all have a great week.

T & M

Hang one and add two to the ever ending list of exhibitions/paintings :)

Zootz is hung - and we are extremely happy with how it turned out! If you are down Henley Beach way in Adelaide, please wander down to Zootz in Henley Square and stop for a coffee or lunch. Works are already being snatched up so don't miss out if you are interested in purchasing unique and funky original work!

Tony from AP Bond has also put some of our work up in Louis Bond Cafe on Magill Road. Louis Bond is a remarkable store full of envious art, books and wares. Definately worth a browse - a must see when we go to Adelaide, will brighten up any day. 

We are also in the process of negotiating large commissions for an Adelaide Hotel during their renovation period. Keep posted for more details on this new and exciting chapter in our art careers.

I have posted a few photos from Zootz and Louis Bond cafe for those that do not live in South Australia. Enjoy! :) :) :)

6AM means 6 in the morning! Yuck.

Im writing from a Year 10 maths class, last session on a Friday. 50 minutes to go! What do I have planned for the weekend I hear you ask? WELL... I shall tell you.

Saturday- We are backing and finishing all of our works for Zootz!! Yay! Stress less from now on :)
Hanging will be 6 AM Thursday morning, and yes that was no a typo, thats 6 AM!! Will be coffe time all day before our opening at 6.

It's exciting to be in a new exhibiting place, especially one that we have only seen twice in passing. Hope the work fits in well. It should. Right??

Counting down the hours until tomorrow where I can finally catch back up with my partner in crime and have a day full of 'art attack' moments!!!

Well this is T signing off,

The time out chocolate bar is staring at me...

Hi All!

There is only 1 week left to see our exhibition 'Collaborative Imagination: The Dysfunction of Dysfunction' at AP Bond, if you're in Adelaide and havn't seen it yet - it's your last chance!!

Our works for Zootz are moving along. We have 30-40 boards started, but the space for about 15 max. Subject matter at the moment includes toy soldiers, indians, skateboards, trolls, owls and babushka dolls. Oh and girls with guns. A bit diverse but gives us options when we go to hang!

It seems these days you blink and we have started a new exhibition. Maybe that's why I don't sleep at night. We can't be normal?

Back to reality...

Before I start dribbling - a big THANKYOU to everyone that came to our opening night, i hope you had as much fun as we did!

Our excitement on the night continued onto friday, where we sprayed some stencils in the courtyard of AP Bond and on the wall facing the street. If you're in the area and feel like a detour head down the little lane next to AP Bond 139 Magill Road and you will see 2 rabbits on pennyfarthings brightening up a very dull concreate wall.

And back to reality....

Boards to cut and prime. all the boring stuff.

This is T signing off.
