Miso at Gorker

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Gorker Gallery in Melbourne presents one of Melbourne’s finest…Miso.

‘Tchusse’ sees Miso re-create & condense her home city into a gallery. Kharkov {Ukraine} becomes a floor to ceiling installation – portraits of strangers in the street, of friends, folk stories and things otherwise forgotten, turned into a city built from paper, material and decaying wood, as Miso replicates buildings, street signs and notices, ladders, empty bottles, criminal tattoos and clothesline and clothesline from memory. In this way, Tchusse becomes an extension if Miso’s widely renowned work as a street artist, as well as being her most ambitious installation & gallery project yet.”

The first guest blogger for The Opening Hours is Australian based graffiti artist Roach. You can find the guest blog links on the right hand side menu, or click Roach for The Opening Hours
