posted in Art, Exhibits, Events, by Brad Eastman on 28th July 2010
Melbourne based artist James Reka will be showing his latest collection of works titled 'Outside Infinity' at 19 Karen Gallery, 19 Karen Ave, Mermaid Beach, Gold Coast, QLD. The show opens this Saturday 31 July 2010 6-8pm and continues until 28 August. With influences in pop culture, cartoons and illustration, Reka creates his own world of mysterious creatures that communicate though colour and movement, based around the style of abstracted fantasy and surrealism. Reka's new paintings are amazing... this show is not to be missed if you are up north.

See-Saw

See-Saw
'a collection of short stories'
25 students, 5 mentors, 1 story.
I’ve been invited to be a mentor in a 2 day Sydney Design 2010 project titled See-Saw. Last weekend I got to meet the 4 students I’ll be mentoring at Gaffa Gallery where we’ll be participating in the project (as well as where the project will end up being displayed). Each one of them is from a different design school (COFA, UTS, Billy Blue and Enmore) and all of them have been specially selected by their respective schools to represent. To say that I’m pretty excited about the project is an understatement!

State Of Design
posted in Art, Design, Education, Exhibits, Events, by Alicia Hannah Naomi on 06th July 2010
State of Design Festival is the public face of the Victorian Government Design Victoria Strategy.
State of Design Festival increases the awareness of the value of design and showcases how design generates innovation, promotes sustainability and adds value to business and society. Festival programs demonstrate and broadly communicate how the Victorian and Australian design profession can improve living conditions, create sustainable development opportunities, and generate new and innovative products and services; in turn, providing economic benefit for the state of Victoria. By communicating to Victorian, Australian and international audiences, the Festival promotes a deeper understanding of design capability and value.
