So I don’t really care about it, but I’m sure someone will. Basically OFWGKTA will be doing a pop-up shop at Supply from tomorrow (Tuesday the 24th) until the 29th. If you’re in Sydney and into that sort of thing I’d suggest going to check it out. If, like me, you don’t really care then I suppose I just wasted the last 45 seconds of your life…

Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve made a “You Ain’t Up On This” post, but now seemed like a good time to start. The Opening Hours is dedicated to keeping you up-to-date with what’s going on with Australia’s creative minds. As they put it: “Our aim is to bring the latest in Australia’s exhibitions, vandalism, creative ism, events, accidents and exploits to help you get through the work day.“

Presented by T-world, in conjunction with aMBUSH Gallery, NEXT is dedicated to the past, present and future of the T-shirt industry. Within the cavernous steel confines of the Heavy Machine Shop lies NEXT, a vibrant display of Australia’s most comprehensive collection of graphic T-shirts.

Australian born, New York based artist, Ian Strange aka KID ZOOM recently returned to build an ambitious, full-scale replica of his childhood home inside Cockatoo Island’s prestigious Turbine Hall in Sydney. A reflection on Strange’s upbringing as an isolated teen in the Australian suburbs, KID ZOOM: HOME is complemented by a film that sees Strange recklessly blowing up and then smashing, three iconic Australian cars – a further perpetuation of the plight of the apathetic, isolated youth in suburbia.

- T, it all sounds very fancy but looks fucking cool, The Outpost Project is on only for a few more days so make time to check it out

The other week Laced played host to the Australian exclusive release of the Crooked Tongues New Balance 1500s. The celebrate the occasion we threw a bit of a pre-release event to show some love to the big N. Alongside the shoes releasing, New Balance also provided photos from the NB574 “Journeys” show and samples for release in 2012. As well as these; myself and Stu along with help from a few other NB fiends put some of our collections on show. The number of shoes on display whilst not huge was pretty ecclectic. Hit up Laced for some images from the night and a side-by-side comparison with the original 576 and the 1500 re-colour.

I am really regretting not being in the country right now, The Outpost Project is a incredible Art event, that is going on right now in Cockatoo Island, if you can you definitely need to check this out, like for real not just saying check this out, go and actually check this out while you can. The list of Artist is redic, the production looks coconuts, the space is beyond anything, just fuckin do it cause if it’s deemed successful they might be able to hold another one sooner than never.

- T, that’s The Outpost Project

Last night Redbull and Laced got together to throw one hell of a Kidrobot Munny competition aptly named Mo’ Munny Mo’ Problems, shit was cray!!! Local and international artist brought out some pre summer heat, with a tonne of Munny freaked out to the nines and a bunch more got the custom treatment live, its a real shame if you missed out on this event because it was a banger! See how many exclamation marks I just used it was that frigin good, Stu did a stellar job of snapping up the vibe of the show and I tried my best at capturing some footage for Redbull which will be out shortly.

The folks at Nike were kind enough to send me a invite to their House Warming 2011. Basically they booked out this gorgeous house in Bronte and threw a party in the main living room and all the upstairs rooms where furnished with personal items from Nike athletes such as NBA star Patty Mills and even some Olympians who I cannot name cause I am useless with names.

The closets were stuffed with upcoming Nike releases, brilliant concept really. Had a really good time catching up some folks I only get to see at events like this and meeting a few other fellow bloggers.

 - T, just a reminder this is on this Thursday, I’ll be there shooting the video come say hi, look for a big brown guy with a ridiculous camera setup

This past weekend Comb Gallery in Coolangatta played host to the One Offs custom sneaker show, organised by the fine fellas at Sneak & Destroy. We had a good time chatting to the lads from Comb Gallery about the art or lack of art scene in the Gold Coast, but if they keep doing what they are doing it looks like there maybe some interesting times ahead. There were some pretty strong pieces in the show and its great to see local artist do their thing.
