Yesterday a few people head down to Dean Sunshine’s wall in Brunswick (next to the Mrs Secondhand on Ann St). Make sure you head down as there is now great new works by Shida, Heesco, Jak Rapmund, Makatron and Phibs

Stupidkrap.com presents:
Paste-Modernism 2.
Re-Taste The Paste
Curated by Ben Frost and Bridge Stehli.
In August 2008, the first Paste-Modernism event hit Sydney with a resounding, wheat-paste splodge onto the derelict walls of Hibernian House in Surry Hills.

Paste Modernism returns in it’s second incarnation with a list of local and international paste-up artists such as:
SMC, JUMBO, ZAP, PURE EVIL, COPYRIGHT, ROYAL, DRYPNZ, OLIVE47, BUNKWAA, RICO, KONSUMTERROR, FELIX, APESEVEN, MAX BERRY, BEN FROST, BRIDGE STEHLI, NUMSKULL, ANTHONY LISTER, HA-HA, DRAB, VEXTA, MINI-GRAFF, ESJAY, HOUL, CREON, JOHN DOE + MANY MANY MORE
Over 40 artists have entered the space over 4 days before the opening, to transform the walls of Lo-Fi into a visual mash-up of pasted up creations, that is normally
only ever seen on the streets. From hand 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.
In the same way that street art is a movement available to everybody, the concept of Paste-Modernism is not defined by any ‘artist heirachy’ or exclusivity and so the call-out to artists was open to everybody who wanted to particpate. In doing so we hope to generate not only a further appreciation for the artform but innovation by the artists as they work beside each other in the space.
The exhibition will only be up for 4 days and will evolve over the duration of the opening as artists contiue to add and modify the walls as they see fit.
Because of Pastemodernism’s ephemeral nature, none of the artwork will be for sale, and will rely heavily on documentation to be uploaded to the internet for it to continue on..
