Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th March 11am-4pm

The Fertile Imagination Captive Breeding Program at Tortuga Studios has exceeded all expectations with warm, dark corners cultivating fertile creation like mould…

The net result is a crew of wildly imaginative artists in residence and an unnervingly large swarm of scribbly eyed creatures with well-drawn proportions and domination on the mind.

These cardboard captains of quirk are the product of the most fertile of imaginations, that of street artist BUNKWAA. Spilling furiously from the brink of his mind they continue to fill the cracks between reality and idealism that crackle through the corners of Tortuga.

The carpet, sticky with creative juice, is out and the little people are waiting… come on down to meet them and all the artists in residence at Tortuga as part of the Marrickville Open Studio Tour and ART MONTH SYDNEY.

The post Let Me Tell You A Story – 31.08. -GROUP EXHIBITION appeared first on Tortuga Studios.

Is it the ignominious slide from the never-to-be-replaced vinyl legends of your youth to that rainbow-hued upstart the CD? Is it the imminent death of the analog TV signal, the gentle ticking of clock hands or the seductive expectation of film?

Mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric or cheese, analog is a hybrid beast. Distorted, clipped, ultimately authentic, analog is doomed to fail in the face of the uniform perfection of digital, yet it captures our imagination like nothing else.

Featuring the work of over 30 artists across all disciplines the Analog group show is a timely investigation into a shifting world, a world in which concepts, terms and ideas die in the face of development.

Featuring the work of:
Hamish Ta-me,
Jacq Sherry,
Garth Knight,

Will Coles,
