This is one of those events that proves Sydneys art & culture to be alive & kicking. (Take than oh wondeful Melbourne!) The Underbelly Arts Festival running from the 8th-17th of July opens the doors to The Lab (artist studios) around the Chippendale area that are usually closed to the public.
Along side studio tours are an array of sensory stimulating events, installations, artworks in progress, film, sound art & projection, performances, dance, puppetry & interactive exhibitions. Some events are freebies others need some pennies and pre-planning so check out the festival website for event info & tix.
Again i was lucky to be invited to profile another wonderful local artist in her studio to promo her exhibition at Arthouse Gallery.
Working primarily with distressed and discarded materials, Lochtenberg Williams reworks and re-crafts painted wood, plastic and metal to create evocative interior worlds and landscapes.
