’Pong took some amazing photos of Sydney’s Sculpture by the Sea last month. If you missed the exhibition, have a browse. I reckon they’re better than the official images.
“Passive Intruder” launches tonight
I’d be remiss if I didn’t plug Pong’s exhibition Passive Intruder which opens at Newtown’s Buzzzbar Cafe (with three Zs!) tonight. Of course, you can sneak in during the day and see the pictures before it’s officially launched — so I’m hoping to see a bunch of red dots by the time I arrive…
I popped in to see the exhibition when it was being hung yesterday, and it was great to see the brightly-coloured images printed full size. They work well in the venue, and I have the gut feeling they’ll do quite well.
Plus I should say that the food at Buzzzbar is excellent — there’s a distinctly North African subtlety to the spices — though the proprietor is Greek, so perhaps that’s just my ignorance showing.
Passive Intruder: ’Pong’s first solo exhibition
One for the diary: my partner ’Pong’s first solo exhibition Passive Intruder opens at Buzzzbar Café Restaurant in Newtown on Tuesday 5 December.
Roaming Cavendish Lane
And now a video which is not propaganda! My photographic better half has assembled some of his fine architectural abstracts into this 9-minute journey down Enmore’s Cavendish Lane. Enjoy.
You’ll also have the chance to see this at higher resolution at an exhibition in December — but if you can’t wait until then there’s a higher quality Quicktime (54MB).
Suwannakorn at Europe Grill
’Pong says:
For the first time, my works are exposed in Australia. It is Walking the Street 06, an annual community event organised by Inner West Cultural Service. I am one of the selected artists who have their artworks installed in shop fronts along King Street South, which is from Newtown Station to Sydney Park. King Street, Newtown is one of the coolest shopping streets in Australia. In the event, the street is even more colourful with artworks from diverse artists. And it’s free!
’Pong’s photos on King Street
One for the diary: the Suwannakorn series of photographs by my better half ’Pong will be on display at the European Grill, 506 King Street, during Newtown’s Walking the Street Exhibition from next Saturday 7 October.
Personally, I’d much rather have seen some of the urban abstracts on display, but hey that’s my taste. Maybe I just don’t like blue. But then the choice was also influenced by the display space available in the venue.
