Petro - Too Big To Be Human at Backwoods Gallery
5th November, 2010 - 13th November, 2010China Heights is proud to present ‘Too Big To Be Human’, an exhibition by PETRO. PETRO has been an active graffiti writer since the early 1980’s, heavily influenced by British electric- boogaloo graffiti nostalgia and all that is off-key. Throughout this time, he has developed an unmistakable style and a solid reputation within this anonymous subculture. For this exhibition PETRO has combined the traditions of graffiti lettering, the galactic funk, wonky pattern repetition, primitive drawings of fantasy characters and an unhealthy obsession with Ralph Lauren. As well as art concepts including installation and performance, and his detailed pieces, entitled &lsquo...

Often synonymous with anarchic ideology – an affront to government, authority and corporate endorsement (we’ll tolerate skateboarding as long as we can make money from you) – D.I.Y. skateboarding has promoted autonomy and self-sustainability through the creative re-use and repurposing of the built environment and the refuse of society. Disused spaces – old factories,...

The Absence Of Man at China Heights
12th September, 2010 - 14th September, 2010'The Absence Of Man' is an exhibition by Twoone and Thomas Jackson, two artists well known to the Melbourne street art scene. although exhibiting along side each other for many years, this is the first exhibition these acclaimed artists have done exclusively together. Both artists use an abstract touch of nature to take you to a new world where nature has retaken the world, and the absence of man is seen by the decrepit remains of old buildings and natural regrowth. These artists choice of colours and attention to detail make it easy for the viewer to disappear into the world they have created. the framing of their work almost makes you believe they are looking through a window into this...

Inhabited Times - Fletcher Andersen at At Large Gallery
3rd September, 2010 - 16th September, 2010"Inhabited Times" is the first solo exhibition from Fletcher Andersen, presenting both new and unexhibited works from a vast, conceptual world building project over a decade in the making. Fletcher, out of Perth and now Melbourne-based, has steadily built the dark, solar system spanning demesne of The Known. Adrift with the remnants of a technologically-rich past, wandered by the disparate remains of a xenophobic humanity; the remnants of the failed Singularity struggles to discover a route with which to rebuild life, albeit hyper-evolved. Shining a light on humanity and its absorption of technology, Fletcher marks our vicissitudes in bionics, nanotechnology and artificial...

My Illusions Architect at Gorker Gallery
2nd September, 2010 - 19th September, 2010"My Illusions Architect" is a new series of works that sees the introduction of a dramatic and exciting turn in direction for Jae Copp. For the past 12 months Jae has undergone an experimentation process of both, medium and technical skills, involving various paper treatments, hand stitching and intricate brush based illustrations. Jae has long used allegories and abstract twists to take personal and social views both, good and bad out of context, into a surreal, and at times almost semi- nonsensical way. Through this series the artist evokes stories of a non-definitive space in time that reflect a post- apocalyptic era, as central figures take form to mimic learning\\\\...

Meggs - Sons of Privilege at Lo-Fi Collective
27th August, 2010 - 30th August, 2010Based on the lyric ‘we don’t want to be slaves to the sons of privilege’, this new collection of artworks and installation by Meggs reflects a freedom of thought and action and a frustration with institution and authority, be it governments, laws or religion. For Meggs, ‘Sons of privilege’, questions personal freedoms and liberties, the right to challenge ideas, politics and blind patriotism. Freedom of thought, self-expression and independence should be admired and we shouldn’t bow to the pressure of social stigmas, expectations, comparison or greed. This exhibition follows Meggs’ sell-out show ‘King for a day’ in Melbourne and...

Something Mistaken For Nothing at The Curiosity Shoppe
27th August, 2010 - 26th September, 2010Have a great day - a phrase we have all heard, and probably said ourselves, at one time or another. This, along with so many other expressions have become as cliché as our daily interactions, their intended message so diluted from over-use, that we end up retaining very little of the actual meaning of what is most often said and heard. But as the repetition continues, empty of sentiment, we are conditioned to pay little attention to that which is uttered habitually and heard constantly. If we could only isolate ourselves from how we perceive these phrases, and experience them literally, as if for the first time, we might actually find that they have the potential of expressing...

LA NY and other American Adventures at Backwoods Gallery
20th August, 2010 - 1st September, 2010Please join us for the opening of Josh Robenstone’s latest solo exhibition ‘LA/NY and other American Adventures’ on Friday 20th August, 6-9pm. NY/LA and other American Adventures’ is a retrospective journey and a portrait of contemporary American society, telling a story that is both fact and fiction. This abstract portrayal of the American way of life weaves together day to day experiences and encounters that span two decades. LA’s gaping wide roads and obscurely narrow footpaths confirm the dominance of the motor vehicle. The city is shrouded in smog, but the bright sunshine makes you forget. In New York, a different pace and feeling. A city of people and...

Planetes by Acorn at No Vacancy Gallery
12th August, 2010 - 23rd August, 2010The word 'planetes’ is Greek for ‘wanderers’, just as planets do, wander across the sky. The drawings presented in this show portray nomadic peoples roaming, gathering, and socializing in a seemingly endless forest where all possibilities are considered. Drawings from the forest series are an ongoing project, and they themselves are always expanding, evolving, changing with experience and time.” Bio:

The photographs reveal a sense of life lived to a thousand different songs, in direct defiance of any official anthem that would have every person dance to the same packaged tune on command. Mexico exists across borders. In popular Western culture is it always an Other Рover there, over the wall, outside regulated social conventions. In San Diego: work and reward. In Tijuana: licentiousness and ruin. Prescription drugs loom large in this picture, but what is Mexico, really Рthis idea of Mexico Рbut a drug itself? The fortunate wallow in their fortune...

Reka - Outside Infinity. at 19 Karen
31st July, 2010 - 28th August, 2010I have always been intrigued with the Buddhist belief of reincarnation and the continuation of your soul in another lifetime. The concept behind ‘Outside Infinity’ explores the notion of the infinite abyss known as the universe, contrasted with the fragility of our life. In the fabric of time, our existence would be compared to a speck of dust. Not even. My core focus is to portray the journey of the conscious human life and the subconscious connection with elements such as fate, time, the dream-world and reality. I like the idea that your soul could actually be made up of many different lives that connected throughout the ages. The dream world could be your existence in a...

The Thinnest of Betweens at Monster Children Gallery
22nd July, 2010 - 7th August, 2010Self-taught Sydney artist, Trent Whitehead will present a new body of work at Monster Children Gallery. With this series, Whitehead attempts to represent a disparate and essentially unusual view of past and future. Just like a dream is the mere sorting and cataloguing of a day's events by our subconscious, Whitehead's paintings on wooden panels are subtly filled with experiences of his own existence. The wondrous and often humorous paintings make up one half of the exhibition. The other half consists of his distinctive masks, which have become a significant component of his artist practice. The masks, lending themselves to the life-giving process of construction, are three dimensional...

Influenced by the beauty and symbolism behind nature’s repetitive geometric patterns and its eternal struggle against man-made adversities, Beastman\'s tightly detailed, symmetrical paintings depict a parallel world of hope and survival inhabited by his scaly-skinned, beastlike yet beautiful and emotive characters. Gripped by fear, anger, stress, confusion and paranoia, these instantly recognisable and loveable creatures reflect human nature and the everyday burdens and struggles of life that mankind so easily and...

Brown Magic at 1000£Bend
15th July, 2010 - 26th July, 2010From Queensland via Berlin and East Coast Australia, Georg Whelan has made it down to Melbourne with his solo show “Brown Magic.” Heavily informed by the artist’s travels and verging on documentary, this show takes influence from both the mundane and the extreme – be it bums, business men, advertising, the internet, high art or tags in suburban kebab shop bathrooms. With the aim to incorporate real life as much as possible while ‘capturing the rhythm of the world in order to respond to it’ Georg’s hyper-reality, layered with myth and false narrative, brings attention to contrasts in contemporary human life that are often blurred.

About the Show: 'PICK ME UP' is the result of a year-long visual conversation between Karl Maier in Sydney and Craig Redman in New York. Weekly, they traded artwork via email that served as both an update on each other’s lives and a commentary on the different, yet similar, worlds around them. The 14 resulting works are rife with double entendres, often including plays on words or forms, and the pieces provide a happy disjuncture between what is meant and what is perceived. Karl Maier and...

Girls N Cars at China Heights
18th June, 2010 - 20th June, 2010China Heights is proud to present 'Girls N Cars', a photographic exhibition by Head On Portrait Prize winner for 2010, Fiona Wolf. The photographs illustrate the allure of barely dressed women and Australian muscle cars.
The series came together when Wolf was chasing bold cars around Australia and shooting classic, semi-nude portraits for her ongoing body of work, 'Girls In Undies'. This body of work meant capturing scarcely clothed women with an even sense of normality and subtle promiscuousness.
In her practice of editing, Wolf found parallels in the way she photographed cars and scantily clad women. The curves, shapes, moods and associations meant that the two subjects... -
