Overview
You've probably heard that iconic American street artist Shepard Fairey is coming to town for Vivid Sydney. He'll be installing his first Australian mural (visit 309 George Street between June 12 and 17 to see him do his thing) and giving a talk at Sydney Town Hall on June 17 as part of the Vivid Ideas Game-Changer program on his body of work and global street art.
What you may not know is that he'll also be exhibiting 16 of his large-scale music-themed artworks at aMBUSH gallery's outdoor public art space, OPEN, in Darling Quarter from May 26. Showcasing his passion for music (Fairey DJs, is in a band called Nøise and has crafted album cover artwork for Led Zeppelin and The Smashing Pumpkins, no big deal), each artwork is printed on wood panels using his signature style.
But as well as that, he'll be opening a newly-announced exhibition, Printed Matters, at Chippendale pop-up gallery from June 17 to July 9. First exhibited in LA in 2010, and slowly expanded with each city's showing, the exhibition explores the importance of printed material.
