Can We Fly

'Can We Fly' is a pop-up exhibition from Bennett happening at Blank_Space in Sydney tomorrow from 12. How something at a gallery is a "pop-up exhibition" is a bit beyond me for a Friday morning... but the work looks excellent none the less so you should head down and take a gander.

Hindu Tattoo

I love Lo-Fi for a lot of reasons, so much so we are a regular sponsor of their events. One of the reasons I love them is that they put on shows you didn't really expect to be happening. One of those is taking place this Thursday evening – 'Hindu Tattoo' is a photgraphic journey over the period of four months by Matt Feder and Sarah Murphy which displays pilgrims tattoos and their creators at work taken alongside the Ganges River and throughout India. Word on the street (well, Facebook) is that you can get a traditional henna tattoo for free while you are there. It kicks off at 6pm. Art is back from holiday!
