On at the CAST gallery in Tasma street North Hobart until February 26th this is the most exciting multimedia presentation I have seen. Experimenta is a curated exhibition of artists from Korea, Australia, USA, South Africa, Japan and New Zealand and is a visual feast. From the vertigo inducing streetscape of Sheley Eskar and Paul Kaiser to the god like traffic control of June Bum Park the mind is in a constant whirl as it tries to assimilate the fantastic presented in the context of every day life.
Make the time to visit this exhibition and you will undoubtedly get your creative juices flowing.

The Entrepot Gallery at the University of Tasmania School of Art is hosting an exhibition at the moment by the Die Laughing Collective who are heavily into stencil art. It seems to be all the rage for artists who have dominated the underground art scene with graffitti. Jamin, Paicey, Empire, Homewrecker and Speck, feature int he show, but as the whole wall of the gallery forms one block of art work I couldn’t determine which bit belonged to who, which I suppose is an objective of the work.

The exhibition continues until February third and the gallery is at the front of the art school in Hunter Street near the wharf in Hobart.
