The second instalment of Pastemodernism is tomorrow (Thursday) & features a massive list of local and international paste-up artists who have transformed the excellent Lo-Fi collective into something that is normally only ever seen on the streets. From haind painted colour to black and white photocopies, from screenprints to large scale drawings - the only restriction is that the work must be on paper and must be able to be wheat-pasted to the walls of the gallery. Lo-Fi Collective, 383 Bourke St, Darlinghurst, Sydney. (above Kinsellas on Taylor Square). Check the article about Paste Modernism part 1 here & just think bigger & better.

Opening 30th September, 6pm - 9pm. Oh Really Gallery. 55 Enmore Rd. Newtown. Sydney. Show running from 30th September - 10th October.
Art installation/exhibition going down at some illegal lane way the boys have turned into a gallery found at the back of camperdown park, behind church st in Newtown. Thanks to the original street scum ‘the movement! Still staying dirty in 2010. *follow the stencilled ants on the ground.
The Movement is back once again - Sydney's premier street art clan are putting on a massive show that is the featured event of the Sydney Fringe Festival.
While many of the original members have persued careers as profesional artists, moving into the lofty spaces of polite art in acceptable galleries others have not been as active in recent years, meaning this show is the largest assembly gathered to date.
Opening on the 17th & is the feature event for the festival. Located at Sydney’s newest skating culture centre, Westside Connection.
