People who say that there is no such thing as bad art are lying. LOOK takes an objective view of the subjective world and, with a free drink in our hand, guides you through Adelaide's best galleries and art exhibitions. From institutions to artist-run initiatives, installation to illustration, photography to painting, LOOK is an ongoing document of Adelaide's ever engaging and growing arts culture.
Kristel Britcher works in glass. I can't say I ever really understood why anyone would work primarily in glass until I saw it being done. There are several different ways of forming glass that I don't understand, the most exciting of which is glass blowing. Glass blowing is shockingly beautiful to watch.
Lisa King. You probably know her, or know her name at the very least. (In no particular order) Curator, artist, designer, photographer, lover of hospitality and lover of art, she sits high in a list of doers in this city. After 2 years or so of creating, running, and curating Paperhorse Studios it's time for the finale.
Reasons to get excited about (to) give time to time:
1) This artist called Guy Stuart is going to rebuild the entire floor of the aEaf. Well actually he is building a new floor on top of the normal floor. The new floor is going to be all warped, with big curved bits made out of timber and sharp inclines.
In their most recent edition, Adelaide student magazine On Dit congratulated FiveThousand on its ability to "art-fag it up around the wine-and-cheese-platter traps". Touché. If you know anything about the wine-and-cheese-platter traps you would have checked out Schaffas by now.
Bridget Currie's 2009 aEaf show 'Regulators' was simple. There was a tree - an olive tree elegantly held aloft by a series of thin plywood planks, which were bowing under the pressure. Also there was a real nice scent floating around the gallery. The strength of the flexible planks was just enough to bear the weight of the tree, but I was heaps scared the whole thing would just fall apart.
Julia Robinson and Sera Waters share a tendency to the kind of finely crafted work that beguiles audiences with mesmeric beauty. For example, this year at Format Festival Sera Waters installed giant drips of blood all over the building. That doesn't sound beautiful at all. Except they were constructed entirely of sparkly red sequins.
You've probably heard about the reading room, or at least heard of the initiative that has allowed it to happen - Renew Adelaide. the reading room is a library, and a place to hang out and play scrabble, and there are regular movie screenings, and on top of all that, the reading room is a gallery too.
