With team members now located all over the world, Rinzen is an interesting working model for what they call a collective. All originally hailing from Brisbane (they met at university), the team now resides in Sydney, Berlin, New York and Brisbane.
Pick Me Up is a new exhibition of works which came to be after a year long visual conversation between Karl Maier in Sydney and Craig Redman in New York - letting each other know what was happening around them via a multitude of artworks.
It's all taking place at the Monster Children Gallery on Thursday the 1st of July from 6pm.

Scratching The Surface
posted in Art, Exhibits, Events, Print, by Brad Eastman on 15th June 2010
As part of Creative Sydney in June 2010, five of Sydney's leading street artists - Beastman, Max Berry, Numskull, Phibs and Roach - painted a 2.5m x 10m collaborative mural which was installed in Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art. Presented by [weAREtheIMAGEmakers], The Opening Hours and Ironlak, the intention of the event was to draw attention to and make a bold statement about the high quality but temporary nature of public or 'street' art in Sydney, due to Sydney council's tough stance on the subject. This was achieved through buffing over the amazing 10m mural in front of a crowd who turned up expecting the artists to be painting the mural live.
Check out this awesome video of the artists painting on location at Westsyde Connection, and the event that followed at the MCA here:
