Spoom Collective exhibition

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 • • 0 comments














































































Most of us here at SSTN made it to the Spoom Collective exhibition opening on 19th September. Much madness and debauchery occurred in the midst of some really amazing site specific graphic art. Now you get to see the art in a more civilised manner (ie 'BYOBiscuits' rather then beer). Really recommend checking it out, very exciting work.

The exhibition is running all this week from 5pm - 7pm and over the weekend.
The Broken Window Theory
The Annex
No 17 Foley St,

Tonntracha artwork by redmonk

Redmonk sent us this yesterday, a picture made especially to complement his Tonntracha mix posted here a couple of weeks ago. He used a piece of square cardboard that was originally packaging for vinyl sent in the post as his canvas, and ink, markers and teabags (both metaphorically, literally, and laterally)(actually just how the teabags were used this writer does not know, but to good effect).
