OUTPOST Art from the Streets Festival
This one’s a little too far for me but if you’re lucky enough to be sunning it in Sydney between the 4th Nov and 11th December 2011 then you won’t want to miss out on all the artists from the urban/street scene exhibiting down by the harbour on Cockatoo Island. A place packed with vast abandoned factories and intriguing forgotten alleyways just to make sure all you urbanites feel right at home.
More than 150 artists and collectives will transform Cockatoo Island between 4 November and 11 December, with static and live street art creations including aerosol art, stencilling, paste-ups, stickers, cup-rocking, sculpture and installations.
Curated by the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust’s programming team and aMBUSH Gallery, the artist line up includes work by street artist Banksy as part of the Oi You! Collection, being seen in Australia for the first time. International street artists Anthony Lister, Ethos, Kid Zoom, DMOTE and ROA will be in Sydney to create new work on Cockatoo Island for Outpost.
There’s also an Australian Stencil Prize, DJs, skateboarding, tinnies, barbies, you name it, it’ll be there. Except me…
