Upcoming Events: Urbanal / Schmurbanal and Embark

Attention Sydney-based readers! We've got some information about two upcoming exhibitions that you won't want to miss. As part of Whim's push for more varied content, we'll also be striving to bring you some of the latest and greatest upcoming events that may be of interest to you.

Next month, the Redfern-based multi-arts hybrid space, 107 Projects will house two exhibitions exploring the polarities of the urban and the outback.  From 1st August until the 11th August, local artist Pauly Gilsenan and photographer Matthew Venables will exhibit ‘Urbanal / Schmurbanal’. The exhibition will include a collection of works born from the two artists' visual accounts of life within the urban mundane. 

The details for the exhibition 'Urbanal / Schmurbanal' are as follows:

The second exhibition is titled 'Embark' and it will feature a collection of work from Nick Cassey and Carmel Spark from the 15th August – 25th August. This exhibition brings your attention to the possibilities of art through the use of natural objects, and explores Cassey’s unique emotional impulse to explore the landscape.  Through a mix of painting, sculpture, and poster design, ‘Embark’ is an exploration of nature, and a response to the absurd fantasy of the city. 

The details for the exhibition 'Embark' are as follows:
