THE WAIT IS OVER…

PRISM EXHIBITION

So folks, with just over a week to go we are getting ready for the opening of 'PRISM'.

We are so pleased to give you the opportunity over the past couple of weeks to get to know a little bit about some of the artists involved, and there are still more to come but be patient we like to keep you in suspense!

Now is no better time than to announce the Artist concept, if the name 'PRISM' hasn't already given you an idea the concept is 'Colour'. For this show participating artist’s have been limited with the brief, outlining that they are to select one colour that is only to be used in conjunction with black, white and grey.

If that doesn't excite you already we have more news to drop!

We are pleased to announce the folks who have jumped on board with us to make sure this opening night will be one night to remember:

MOLOTOW AUSTRALIA: Sponsoring the paint for the Backwall Mural - for those who frequent exhibitions' at Cold Krush you would know that there is always some freshfunk painted to add to the zest of the show.

LONGVIEW WINERY: Local family owned Australian vineyard located just outside the historic township of Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills.

CUBANEY RUM: Family based business bringing you some of the world's finest rums from the Caribbean, South and Central America.

And... we can't forget the soundscapes will be provided by local DJ’s who always bring that flavour to your ear...

Artwork will be availible to purchase from our website so be sure to check back after the opening night. People who can't make it to the opening 'PRISM' will remain open the entire length of the Adelaide Fringe (Closing: 16th of March, 2014).

PRISM EXHIBITION

Artist #11 Rotten Fantom

Rotten Fantom is a project of two artists: Helen from Saint Petersburg and Waldez from Moscow.

The dynamic duo do surreal, horror and mystical black and white drawing. Chief idea laying in Rotten Fantom’s art is to reflect natural forces’ never ending cycle of decay and resurrection.

They bridge cosmic gaps between human, beasts and plant worlds researching the borders between life and death in quest for proto-entities behind dead and living matter. Every work of art is the result of trance, mystic sacrifice, helping to approach the state behind conditions of life and death, future and past, personality and absolute, when all dead and living create the unique canvas of existence. The purpose is to behold Great Spirit’s embroidery on that canvas.

PRISM EXHIBITION

Artist #10 SYNC

Sync was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia. At the beginning of Sync's artistic career he was heavily into doing sticker art. He started doing stencils in 1996 in Adelaide to help himself mass-produce stickers. While working as a bike courier he became very familiar with all the back-alleys and side streets. All he did for a period of some years was create stickers and take them out to the streets.

Sync spent some time in Melbourne where he was just as driven. Although he had been producing street art for a number of years, it wasn't until 2003 that Sync started making multi-layered stencils. While in Melbourne Sync became a member of the world famous Everfresh Studio.

Sync and the rest of the Everfresh Studio painted a large mural on a wall in Fitzroy from February 2009 to September 2009. The mural is on the wall of the Nightcat bar, and brands the suburb with "Welcome to Sunny Fitzroy, Everfresh".

Sync is featured in The Everfresh Black Book published by Miegunyah Press, released August 2010. His work also appeared in the documentary film, Rash (2005), Australia's first feature documentary film on street art and graffiti. The film explores the cultural value of street art and graffiti in Australia.

Sync was included in "Space Invaders", an exhibition of renowned and respected Australian street artists, which showed at the National Gallery of Australia. The works now form part of the NGA's own collection and toured nationally over the following two years.
