We at Oh Really would like to invite you to a special event which explores the way we engage with art. Acclaimed artist Ears is collaborating with video artist Matt Woodham using multi media installations, video, projections and sound to bring us his latest series. The idea behind Discoveries being that people have become passive in their response to art and are not challenged by the work, further more the social distraction and atmosphere of an exhibition often make it hard to enjoy the work. Discoveries is an interactive exhibition of installation works that break this trend, and forces the viewer to investigate the work and experience it in an isolated and personal way to break the distractions of the shared experience that a gallery opening often presents.

We invite you to join us for the opening
on Thurs the 17th feb, 6pm.
Oh Really Gallery
55 Enmore rd,
Newtown

Thanks and see you There!

Oh Really Crew

It is said that when we communicate with each other, 60% of the information we respond to is body language, 30% is the tone and sound of the voice, and only 10% is the content and meaning of words. What happens then, if we enter into a space within which form, movement and sound are the primordial ways to communicate?

The show is a collaborative piece, with soundscapes by James Nichols and Dan (Ears) and Sarah Harvie (Solidair) making the inflatable room. We invite you to enter into ‘The Inflatable Sound Space’ and explore the sensory pleasure of form, touch and sound.

Oh Really Gallery is a key independent creative space in the inner west of Sydney. Although we’ve had successes over the last 2 years, Oh Really’s operating budget is still smaller than a hippie’s coin purse and it needs your help for 2011 to survive.

Oh Really has brought you exhibitions of some of Sydney’s hottest talent’s like Phibs, Ears, Mini Graff, Teazer and Beastman.  Interstate artists like Drewfunk(Melb), Last Chance Studios(Perth), and Simon Degroot(Bris), as well as Drypnz(NZ) and Mica Still(NZ) solo shows for the first time in Australia.

Oh Really has been moving forward to keep things fresh over the last 2 years like our infamous 32hr Artist Lock in’s in the gallery or Culture Jam, our live music and live painting nights that blend art and music or spoken word, and has attracted musicians like Rai Thistlethyawte ‘Thirsty Merc’, MC Tuka ‘Thundamentals’, Kieran Day ‘Traps’ and Boku, a Tibetian Throat Singer.

This Thursday 16th Dec, Oh Really is having a fundraiser event in the style of Culture Jam with live music by Ears and Jack Prest plus a freestyle session later in the night, live painting by Joe Purtle and Yoko, as well as donated paintings by sydney artists Ears, SMC3, Adam Parquette, Vars, Syke and more.  All proceeds from sales will go towards keeping Oh Really operating into 2011.  We will also be taking donations at the event, or for you international and inter-state people you can donate through paypal on our website.

Oh Really needs to raise funds to keep the exhibitions and live events flowing into the sydney creative blood stream for 2011.  So all you Oh Really foot soldiers out there, spread the word, let’s keep Oh Really going.
