Stone & Wood Keg Show x Ambush Gallery x Chalmers = Movember Donation
Stoked, got an email from Rick at Stone & Wood a couple of days ago telling me that I'd sold my keg at the Keg Show at Ambush Gallery in Sydney. Apparently the Gallery were the people who bought it so I'm chuffed. Anyway, $350 goes straight to my chosen charity Movember and the keg lives happily ever after (hopefully). Thanks to Stone & Wood for organizing the show and Ambush for buying my keg.
SHOW
1 Week from today the Whisky Gallery will be opening it's doors to it's first show featuring a stack of talented artists. If you're in the Sydney vicinity make sure you go along.
Le Festival Adore
Le Festival Adore from Nicholas Chalmers on Vimeo.
This is the film which I made for my installation at 'I USED TO SKATE ONCE 6' Exhibiton.
The movie is cut from a reel of Super8 Film I shot in outback Australia. I used the best images from the reel as most of it was over exposed courtesy of my broken camera.
Basically the film is a bit of tongue and cheek for all the art-house style films out there that use antique looking footage and non-english voices. Nothing serious just an attempt of a bit of light hearted humour. I'm hoping viewers who speak French will get a laugh out of this as the subtitles and talking are completely non-related. For example the French dialogue starts a little something like this "Isn't it funny how you can say anything in French and it sounds so sexy..."
Enjoy (hopefully)
IUTSO6
Tonight is I USED TO SKATE ONCE 6. Stoked I was asked to be in this show again. Come along tonight and have a drink and be a sponge and soak up arted-up skateboards if your in Bristown or nearby.
Ze Keg Show
I was lucky enough to be asked to paint a keg for Stone and Wood's keg show that opens this Friday night in Byron at their Headquarters. The show then goes from Byron to 19karen on the Gold Coast then down to Ambush Gallery in Sydney.
All kegs are for sale and full proceeds goes directly to the artists's chosen Charity. Will post photos from the openings.
BLAGHC!!! Fat CAT!!!!
Blaghc!!! (pronounced Black) is the new Black. It's a the avant gardé of the art world today and me and my friend Merry invented it and covered my new board in it. Good England. This is a new model Dan Macdonald (DMS) made me a couple of weeks ago that I finally got tonight. Basically I wanted a short, fat, fun shortboard and this is what he whipped up and dubbed the 'Fat Cat'. Matty rode the 2nd one of this model Dan has ever made and he says it's the best board he's ridden all year. Hope mine goes as well as it looks.
My Friend Sarah
My friend Sarah is not human. I seriously don't get it. How she fits art direction, photography, styling, modelling, partying, eating and sleeping into each and every week baffles me. Pictured above is just a part of one of many projects Sarah has worked on recently. She tells me she spent 6 hours playing old school video games with a friend capturing stills from the games to achieve this imagery, oh yeh she's the model in the shoot too. Check out her site you'll be impressed. I don't know any other Aussie ex-pats living in New York at the ripe age of 20 (or 21) who is whipping this much amazingness up.Sizzle Baby
The Bondi 'Sizzle Festival' is this weekend and seems to be talk of the town for post Fashion week socialites. Got the two works above (Apologies for poor quality images taken on my phone) in the art show at Bondi Beach Road Hotel that runs from yesterday till Sunday. Dropped of my works to be hung and there is a hell of a lot of good art on show. If your in the area put your head in and make sure you take your cheque books because all art is 0% commission so no doubt it will be a bit cheaper than usual so get chequing. If your interested in these works feel free to email n_chalmers86 at hotmail.com.
