Nine Lives closes its doors with French.

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

It will be a sad day tomorrow in Brisbane when Nine Lives Gallery closes its doors in their current space. The team is taking a break from the full time gallery world and focusing on project based exhibitions. So stay tuned…

From the Nine Lives family:
“Want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the ongoing support over the last few years. We’re very happy that we’ve been able to contribute to ol’ Brisbane towns cultural landscape in some way or shape. For a long time this city’s been seen as the little sibling to its southern counterparts but we really do think that is changing. Brisbane has plenty going on and there’s a bunch of young creatives making that happen.

Come along Thursday, have a beer. We’d love to see you.”

Below is the flyer for their last show by none other than FRENCH from the UK. Get down…

Red Bull Wreckers Yard

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Red Bull has always been an avid supporter of the graffiti and hip-hop culture, and it doesn’t look like they are stopping. When a brand supports a scene for so long and puts on events that showcase true talent, it always puts a smile on our face. Wreckers Yard is just that. An event dedicated to showcasing graffiti artists. And when we say “graffiti artists”, we mean it. They haven’t picked only street artists and coated them with the “graffiti” name (like alot of brands do), they’ve chosen carefully.

“Red Bull Wreckers Yard, is a Trans-Tasman graff competition. There are seven qualifier rounds in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Auckland and Wellington. In each city 8 of the local graff artists battle it out in a round robin live painting comp where they’re given a theme to paint one minute before the clock starts. The winners from all seven cities will be flown to Melbourne for the Trans Tasman final on June 25th @ The Evelyn Hotel.”

Melbourne artists were Barnacle B, Prizm, Jorrz, Makatron, Dvate, Prozac, Shida. Itch won the Melbourne battle.

Starts 7pm

SYDNEY

MELBOURNE – TRANS TASMAN FINAL!

Above in Brisbane

Monday, January 24th, 2011

“I just returned this morning from being in the flood ravished city of Brisbane, Australia. With the international attention around the floods I decided to immediately fly from Sydney to Brisbane to make this site specific stencil. Unfortunately I had another stencil that Friday night I got arrested for right in the middle of painting! oughf! I spent 10 hours in jail, had a court appearance and got a decent fine so this piece is the only 1 I can submit and offer for you. I tried my best not to make fun at this drastic and horrific situation but instead to empathize and portray just how serious and large the scale of these floods had been with the relative depiction of “NOAH’s” ark being sunk due to the floods.”

Joel Birch – Love Letters at Nine Lives

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Joel Birch opened his latest typographic offering at Nine Lives this week. I’m really a fan of the simple 2-3 word combo with watercolour style background. Good mix of sign-painting, vintage movie title and public graffiti styles. If you’re in Brisbane, get down.



Brisbane City Council buffs Lister’s commission wall

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

“BRISBANE’S anti-graffiti squad has been accused of illegally entering private property to paint over a commissioned mural by a world-renowned street artist. ”

Such a shame this kind of thing keeps happening. Especially an amazing piece of this size. Read the full article here.
