Curvy 2010

Overview

Some of the best visual artists in the world are about to be let loose on The Galeries in Sydney's CBD. Preceding the launch of art book Curvy 7 at Lo-Fi, artists from the collection will be hanging their art in the Galeries' steep, vertical alleys. Curvy is an annual collection of works from the best female visual artists around the world. Co-curated this year by street-artist Fafi, and Sarah Lerfel (of ecclectic, cool-hunting storefront Colette, Paris), previous editions are much sought after and occaisionally reprinted.

Running from Friday the 19^th of November, Curvy artists in the exhbition will include the surgical Kaitlin Beckett, Breakbot animator Irina Dakeva, human-animal hybridiser Melissa Haslam and Aussie ex-pat Rilla Alexander — whose work has included beautiful, stylised animal artwork for Spain's Museo del Prado from Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly delights. Art will be suspended mid-air, will be for show and sale in shops below, and for three Thursdays — the 9^th, 16^th and 23^rd of December  — will be created live in a texta-only art battle from 6-9pm. So if you like your shopping with a serve of kick-ass art, Curvy at The Galeries is the place to be.
