96.02 Go to 50 exhibitions
First proper outing since I got my appendix out, and it was a pretty awesome day. I got all dressed up,
put on my new bow tie and went down to the City Library to catch Urban Scrawl, an exhibition which is part of Midsumma. Taken from their facebook event: “Emerging from their shadowy haunts for the MIDSUMMA FESTIVAL are Kaff-eine, aerosol dynamo and prolific paster; and Precious Little, street art sweetheart and poetess mess. They are joined by light alchemists Tigtab and Blacklodge, who—through photography and ethereal illuminations—inject intimacy into forgotten spaces and reanimate sites of urban decay.
Navigating the monolithic themes of love, life, death and the minutiae in between, together they lead the expedition into the clandestine corners of Melbourne, from the painted laneways to the subterranean catacombs, snaking like a circulatory system beneath the city’s skin. “
It was pretty amazing…I only wish the space was bigger so they could’ve fit more amazing pieces. I’ve always been a huge fan of both Precious Little and Kaff-eine so this collaboration was bound to see me wetting my pants in excitement. The amazing creatures of Kaff-eine matched perfectly with the dark pondering dymo writings of Precious Little. If you get a chance, head down to the City Library before 29th January 2012 and check it out for yourself.
