Stuart Bailey goes to Hell

Straight Edge
by Stuart Bailey
www.stuartbailey.info
Opening Friday March 28th, 6pm till late
29 March – 26 April 2007, Open Saturdays only, 12 – 6pm

Straight Edge was originally exhibited in OLD SKOOL (NEVER LOSE THAT FEELING) at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art in December 2007. Robert Cook wrote: Stuart’s practice is wild and freeform, including both massive wall paintings in a Beatle Bailey aesthetic and, more recently, quirkily sculptural outings that investigate the discursive and emotional status of culture-making. His work for this show is/are presentation of the Minor Threat logo. Minor Threat were a band led by Ian MacKaye and established in Washington DC in 1980. They were known for songs that were fast, furious and lasted about one and a half minutes. They were punk but faster and tighter, maybe they were new punk or something. Certainly, they were 'anti consumerism’ in a big way. They initiated the‘straight edge’ movement: no sex, no drugs, no drinking, no f__king. That was the deal. They would not give interviews in magazines that had ads for cigarettes or alcohol. They were keeping it real, with their music and social actions like selling cheap CDs and having cheap door sales. It was about keeping the spirit of music alive and real instead of following the usual idea about success, moving on to stadiums,getting ads for consumer goods, etc.

Tony Garifalakis goes to Hell

Infinity Land by Tony Garifalakis
Opening Fri Feb 15, 6pm till late
15 Feb - 15 Mar 2008, Saturdays only 12- 6pm

Here's what Dylan Rainforth wrote about Hell's inaugural show on the threethousand review page (http://www.threethousand.com.au). Tony also got a review in the Sunday Magazine of the Age (Preview 24th Feb), written by Penny Modra.

'Welcome to Hell.' Quick sketch of a cinematic cliché: Hard-as-nails Drill Sergeant welcomes green-as-grass bunch of recruits to bombed-out battlefield. He knows, and so do we, that half of them will be dead by the end of the movie and that the other half will have learnt some hard-earned lessons, emerged as heroes, etc and-so-forth.

That's what 'Welcome to Hell' makes me think of. But if you hear it this Friday as you enter the Gates of Hell, just down the lane behind the Coles on Swan Street, it's probably just owners Jess 'Queen of Hades' Johnson or Jordy Marani (such a yacht-rockin' name for Satan Himself) making you, you know, welcome. Welcome, to their brand-new art gallery - check out the art, partake of the delicious BBQ (aka the Eternal Flames of Damnation) and grab a cold beer. It's nice here.

And all the best people go to Hell. Even the Prince of Darkness turned out to be a pleasant chap when I popped in the other day. The PoD, aka Tony Garifalakis, has cooked up an absolute blinder of a first, inaugural, premiere, debut, maiden show - all about doomsday sects and murderous messianic cult leaders. How apt. So, if there was ever any doubt, it's now official - the devil not only has the best tunes but the best art too.

Hell Opens Up

Hell Gallery was founded by artists Jess Johnson and Jordan Marani, who both work installing other peoples art for money. Hell was built on the ground floor of their house using salvaged materials from larger art institutions. Hell is open for exhibitions, launches, screenings, performances and cooking demonstrations. All proposals to Hell must be handwritten, preferably in code on soiled restaurant napkins. Accompanying documentation should be in totally incompetent cartoon form. Or you can just ask nicely. We will see what we can do.
