Straight from the Gorker Gallery website: “MY ILLUSIONS ARCHITECT” IS A NEW SERIES OF WORKS THAT SEES THE INTRODUCTION OF A DRAMATIC AND EXCITING JAE COPP.

So...If you've been checking our blog and wondering what the hell has been going on at Seventh, now you can finally find out! We've been super busy trying to make sure the gallery doesn't fall into the hands of evil property developers, whilst simultaneously trying to extract money from the government and coordinate the new program. Plus we've managed to squeeze in our 10th Birthday Party! There's been a lot going on.For now, here's an outline of some of the show's we've been having over the past few months.[Apologies to all our wonderful artists for the time-lapse...]
Renne and Anna Miller-Yeamen Extra Lines for a Fixed Hole Opening night drinks Wednesday 18th August 6-8pm Extra Lines for a fixed hole will be the first in a series of ongoing collaborative projects between Anna and Renee Miller-Yeaman. These collaborations will oscillate between gallery-orientated projects, public performances and on site interventions. Extra Lines for a fixed hole will explore the unspoken rules of public sociability; the implicit contracts people sign off on in public spaces and the subtle everyday occurrences and ruptures that keep these invisible rules under constant negotiation; interrogating ...

Congratulations to Jasmine Target for being a finalist in the 2010 Ranamok Glass Prize. Look out for Jasmine's beautiful glass when we move, this is a sneak peak!A few words from Jasmine:My practice is about the dissolvability of form. I consciously seek to create forms that are organic, off centre and unique. The optical illusion of movement is suggested and further distorted by the dichroic or mirrored glass lens at point of contact where each bubble dissolves into the table. 'Atmosphere: and your troubles like bubbles will disappear' Hand blown, dichroic, silvered and mirrored glass on ...

Just look at this triumph of 80's design!! Insane, I know!!Now....me and the 80's ain't always on good terms....but there was just something about this little number that made me snatch it from the shop before anyone else could buy it. I think maybe it's because of its complete lack of subtlety.....honestly the designer couldn't have put more into this dress if they'd tried.It's made from a slinky stretchy lycra in a silver and black camouflaged tiger print. The body is all ruched....there is a lace panel insert down the front, a high neck that buttons at ...
