The Red Balloon Project
Alison Hanly
1.8.2008 - 16.8.2008

I had the brainwave of actually releasing 99 red balloons from the top of a local building, filming it from two or three angles and projecting that in the gallery space. I had another brainwave of tagging each balloon like we did as kids and getting people to contact me when they found one, and telling me where they discovered it...



The Where I see It
Luke Porillo
20.6.2008 - 14.7.2008

The Where I See It, new works by Luke Perillo, could be a kind of memory of the journey: a recollection of past holidays or imagined scenes from books or tourist brochures. The work consists of miniature landscapes constructed atop and within plinths placed around the gallery space. The landscapes range from a desert highway to a gravesite in a pet cemetery. While one could imagine that each landscape that these dioramas are based would be quite unique and diverse they are collected together by the artist with almost obsessive detail and attention to scale and the gallery becomes a space for (re) collecting these landscapes, these fragments and traces of the memory of the journey together. The journeys and the experience of the landscapes become constructed spaces.



Solo Show
Matthew Dominic Salvo
20.6.2008 - 5.7.2008

Matthew Domenic Salvo describes his art process as a dance around the canvas. He states, “For me painting has become a dance, finding either static or harmonious balance 
resulting in a cataclysmic beauty of emotionally charged images spawned by musical influence and environment”.

His gestural mark making on large canvases alongside his use of colour and layered textures display strong links to his obvious influences of abstract expressionism and Kandinsky’s 
writings on connections with the spiritual in art, painting, music and colour.



Exotic Postcards
Charlotte Ghaie
20.6.2008 - 5.7.2008

Charlotte Ghaie paints from existing images, with the catalyst for her new work Exotic Postcards being a snapshot of her two adult sisters “dressed up” as Cyndi Lauper and Dolly Parton 
respectively. Ghaie paints models who are not of Caucasian heritage posed as celebrities with drawings of stereotypical ‘tribal’ objects and souvenirs.

Taoist Jihad aims to bring balance in an unbalanced world by all means practical. The Taoist Jihad's propaganda wing issues musical statements: cut ups of Bollywood, Hollywood, dub and mixes of music from around the world. The aim is to restore the balance the musical influences that you are listening to. This is a spiritual dance revolution with poetic terrorist intentions.
