Concrete Playground

Would you like the good news or the bad news? The bad news is that the deadline for creative types to enter their work into Lightbulb Lounge Room’s next exhibition has passed. But the good news (and who doesn’t like saving the best for last?) is that they’re opening their doors to the public once again come January 18.

Hunt or be Hunted, the title of the North Bondi gallery’s second monthly collaborative exhibition, invited aspiring canvas-based painters, typographers, photographers, designers and illustrators to submit their work for display. Asked to center those works on the exhibition’s title, participants have created either literal interpretations — we’re thinking Robin Hood-inspired works, a hero gallivanting through the woods, that type of thing — or slightly more abstract ones.

A pretty encouraging initiative, no? We think it’s wonderful. Even better, all contributing artists/designers are given the opportunity to eventually produce their own solo show at Lightbulb Lounge Room. And selected pieces work off a first come, first served basis so everybody is given a chance to go into the running.
