OK I did ask the dumbest question of Jerrard Seng about his work, Me: "did you Photoshop yourself into all these landscapes" Jerrard: "No I took them all with a remote". Believe
that or not; his show
'The Space Between' at
m2 Gallery of selfies in incredible Icelandic landscapes seems a very NOW approach to art photography; a bit like Instagram on Steroids on the wall - and bigger! There was a bit of a crush by the time I arrived but I heard it was even more packed earlier, no wonder it was a bit quiet (comparatively speaking) at China Heights, where
KNIGHTMARE by French was taking place fusing a gothicy art with the
latest trend in street fashion, embroidered patches (and
buttons-we already knew), or so Bloglovin had informed me only that very morning!

There was certainly no shortage of funky styling at any of the shows and the still-warm weather seems to be making things more like a spring night out not at all winter approaching.

I'm just going to put it right out there. This is
the most original art photography show I have seen in quite a while; I don't know how he make the images
(it's a silver halide based traditional process) and I don't really care; what's interesting is the fusing of the political economy as a subject and the graph as a photographic object, or you can just enjoy them as photo based abstractions. I thought they were brilliant!

Well there's at least two cowboy shows at Head On this year; Claire Letitia Reynolds's 'Lonely Cowboys' at Central Park which I am yet to see and Marley Marco Pasinetti, 'The "8" Second Ride' at ArtSHINE Gallery. Just around the corner in Chippendale and well supported by his friends on opening night. I popped my head into the big do Saturday night at aMBUSH Central Park, but I must say I find art exhibited on that scale somewhat daunting. So it was nice to then find myself for the first time in the more intimate ArtSHINE space for Marley's first solo show. Great eye, lovely compositions, check it out before or after visiting the big festival splash up at aMBUSH.
