You are invited to the latest exhibition by Nik Kamvissis featuring his pop-up puppets brought back from Puppet Island where he has been holidaying for the last 42 years.
Left Coast Festival presents
RUBBING
Opening reception
Tuesday 22 June
6 – 8pm
Exhibition daily 22 to 26 June
“Rubbing the visual languages of abstraction, comics and minimalism till they breakdown and vomit a new life that never lived before, starring in Re-Animator, with a new soundtrack by Fleetwood Mac while the whole pile succumbs to the Rubbing virus, to create anew out of its mind, again and again.”
“Hey listen, man! Rubber thunder pencil coloured searching for an answer has brought about many tears on these empty nights so we say goodbye my friends so long au revoir leaving you with some warm sunshine.”
Nik also plays in Australian noise rock band Menstruation Sisters. With an international following including the likes of Thurston Moore, Menstruation Sisters are more of a natural phenomenon than a musical group. Owing more to the sound of ice melting and eggs hatching than strummed guitars and pounded drums, the Sisters keep one ear on the ground and the other towards the atmosphere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZRC5YSkYxs
A selection of his record art from the group’s releases by Nik will also be shown on the night.
Nik’s visual work is a fascinating departure or point of return from his sound with the Sisters, powerful imagery from imagined and real places inside of the one and only mind and body of Kamvissis.
