ANTE TEASER 2011 from Ante Magazine on Vimeo.
Be on the lookout for Ante Magazine launching in early November. In case you missed it, here's a sneak peek we posted recently of the Ante Magazine fashion feature.
'Wheeling & Dealing' by Well Dressed Vandals for the recent 'BI' exhibition at Somedays Gallery. The show is still on for a few more weeks with a great selection of artists, for more visit Somedays Gallery at 72B Fitzroy Street, Surry Hills.
Since the golden era of bicycles in the late 19th century until the mid 20th century, cycling posters were drawn and painted to advertise manufacturers and tire companies and to promote bicycle expositions and races.
We aim to celebrate the craftsmanship of original posters as a starting point for contemporary artists, designers and illustrators to represent what remains the most efficient means of transport today.
We have supplied 13 Australian and International artists with a reproduction of a vintage bicycle poster to derive the inspiration for their artwork. The artwork will hang side by side with the original poster, linking between old and new, then and now, what was and what could be.

Project 36 from Kind Regards on Vimeo.
Amsterdam based collective Kind Regards is putting together an exhibition to showcase the photography of some of the most prominent individuals within the graffiti world over the past decade. "The concept is that we send each artist a 35mm compact camera (Olympus MJU II) along with a roll of black and white film. We chose this camera as it has been a primary choice of camera for graffiti writers since its release in 1997, and still remains this way due to its flash, compact size, lens and all-weather capability. Each person involved shoots one roll of 36 exposures, with no specific subject matter assigned. Once the rolls were returned, we developed them in-house. The results reflected a lifestyle more so than a focus on graffiti". The final step will be the production of 36 booklets per artist involved featuring all 36 exposures from their roll with the added bonus of a single negative from that particular artists roll.
The line up includes: Remio (USA), Banos (Australia), Will Robson-Scott (UK) and Luce (Argentina/Bolivia). Head over to Kind Regards for more information on what they do and upcoming projects.
