Real Refuses:

THE DEMOCRATIC ARCHIBALD PRIZE !

ALL WORKS GUARANTEED TO BE HUNG!!

Saturday 26 May marks the 22nd Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art “non” Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst to win the popular “People’s Choice Award”, selected by the public on the night.

Real Refuses has become firmly established as part of the “Archibald Season”.

While it is an exhibition of rejected artwork, it is much more than that…

It is about giving a fair go to all the artists involved in Australia’s largest art events.

Not everyone can win an Archibald but here everyone can exhibit along side their peers. (You’ll find past winners of Australia’s biggest art prizes here as well!)

In the past an extraordinary range of subjects have been shown, from musicians, actors, politicians including the NSW Premier, Mayor of Willoughby, Anthony Mundeen, Tony Abbott, Leo Sawyer, the then Prime Minister John Howard, Madame Lash, Elizabeth Cummings, Professor Bruce James Brew, and Jaiwei, (a winner of the Sulman.)

We can’t wait to see the works not selected this year!

TAP GALLERY, 259 Riley St Surry Hills (please note we have moved)

Mor Mor Mutthi Mutthi presents “Mungo Man Coming Home” – Exhibition from 23 to 29 October, Opening on Tuesday 24 October from 6 pm

My name is Mor-Mor and I am  Mutthi-Mutthi, mother born in Balranald, which is Western New South Wales, Australia.

I am the youngest of eleven children. I have two children, a son Daryl and a daughter Kaleana. I come from the Mungo Mutthi-Mutthi Tribe, my mother Mrs Alice Kelly, deceased was the custodian of Lake Mungo and the Tribal Elder of the Mungo Mutthi-Mutthi people. My father Alfred Kelly, also deceased was the Tribal Elder of the Wamba and Nyiampaa Tribes.

I have been spirit painting since my return from New Zealand in to my Mungo Mutthi-Mutthi Tribal ground in early 1993.

The presentation of my art is my spiritual link to my Sacred Lady of Lake Mungo, which dates back beyond 30,000 years. My very strong Spiritual link to my Mungo Mutthi-Mutthi Sacred Lady inspires me to create My Spiritual drawings, paintings and stories. Through my Spiritual drawings and paintings I show my Spiritual Ancestors who lived in Love, Peace and Harmony for over 40,000 years.

My spiritual Ancestors and I have affiliated with Mother Earth and my Sacred Tribal land since time Immemorial and Creation was by our Sacred Spirit.

Each drawing and bark painting tells its own distinctive individual Sacred Story and all the Sacred Stories interconnect back to the Sacred Spirit of Our Creation.

Roger Dilernia Photographic Exhibition + Alice Hattom paintings September 4th -10th 2017 Opening drinks Tuesday 5th Sept 6pm.

 

Photographic Exhibition takes us back to the Golden age of Rock

September 4th -10th 2017, Sydney

Rock photographer and co-author of The Beatles Down Under Roger Dilernia is about to show for the first time his unseen colour rock photography from the gold age of rock the 70’s.

This is a once in a life time opportunity to see such legends as David Bowie , Lou Reed, Bob Marley & Queen with photos of AC/DC, INXS early in their career. The works include published black and white works and for the first time full colour images that have never been seen.

Dilernia has worked as a photographer and rock historian since 1974, capturing images that have graced many record covers, posters and publications. A pioneer on the 70s punk scene in Australia, Dilernia was also a musician in one of Sydney’s first punk bands ‘Doris Death’, brushing shoulders with artists such as Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, Frank Zappa, and Paul McCartney.

“Why now, after forty years a few months ago I had a major health scare which reminded me that life’s short and that my photos needed to be seen. The moments of rock n roll History I’ve been lucky enough to capture deserve a wider audience than my friends and family”

Roger Rock Legends exhibition will be running from the 4th of September till the tenth at The Tap Gallery 259 Riley St Surry Hill.

Roger Dilernia can be contacted at Waterloo Pictures
