ESPIONAGE GALLERY | Suite 1, Level 2, 93 Rundle Mall, Adelaide 5000
The Espionage Gallery is a little space located on Rundle Mall, just off Lindes Lane, and at just only 90-square-metres, the gallery exhibits the art of Adelaide-based artists for a one-month period, with the most prominent features being that of the gallery directors, Joshua Smith and Gary Seaman.
The gallery is currently displaying the works of Joshua Smith, in the exhibition, 300.
“The exhibition features almost 20 large scale works all priced at the set price of only $300 each. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to get your hands on some of Josh’s work at very cheap price. Most of the works on display are usually valued at $800+”
I have always admired Smith’s street art work, and above are just some of the pieces I have found around the Adelaide CBD. It would be a dream to own one of his pieces, but alas, I cannot…
As well as exhibitions, the gallery also often holds workshops. Their most current workshop is a one-off, 5-hour Basic Stencil Workshop, where individuals “learn the fundamentals of stencil art and learn how to cut 1 and 2 layer stencils. All materials privided including canvas, stencil cutting plastic, cutting knife and paint.” Though the website declares that registrations for the workshop are now closed, Renew Adelaide project, Studio Lingo, has suggested that the Adelaide Festival Centre club, Green Room, is still
looking for 5 young artists aged between 16 – 30 to partake in these workshops.
And as well as all of this wonderful stuff, the gallery also holds Friday Night Art Markets, where, on the second Friday of every month, they showcase and sell the work of local artists, designers, ceramicists, glass blowers and jewellery designers.
Past gallery exhibitors include Joel VDK, Chris Edser, Kate Gagliardi and Eliza Mazzone.

How can I resist?
I have this ever-growing bookmarks folder titled “Want”. Yeah. I have this problem with materialism.
For the ladies (not sure if there are any female readers here but anyway…): remember Creepy Cute? Yeah, no? Anyway, all you have to do is like the Creepy Cute Facebook page for your chance to win this kooky tee! Go go go.
Holy crap. Awesome.
Narrow-minded
From an experience… Narrow-minded people seem to think that their ideas are the only ones with any value; the only thoughts worth being entertained. Could be quite the opposite, really… someone like that probably isn’t worth listening to at all. Anyway, I’m glad that I am able to see value in others’ ideas (even those narrow-minded ones I guess). Think about it.
It’s not so much that you don’t care what someone thinks, it’s more like it doesn’t matter what they think.
Just a general thought I have had rolling around in mt noggin for a little while about unimportant people and their narrow-minded judgments.
Mango update for WP7
I’m happy to finally receive the update for my Windows Phone 7 device - the Optimus 7 (now starting to dislike the handset itself, but the update makes it better).
Some things immediately appreciated by me:
- Subtle improvements to the UI - noticeable in Zune, Pictures, App list
- Shutter sound in camera is less boisterous - and can be muted by lowering volume
- Twitter integration (good for sharing quick updates, maybe not so much for sharing images)
- Ability to email/share video (previously only images)
- Linked inboxes (yet to see if this works brilliantly)
- Multitasking/recent applications
- Integration of chat clients into messaging (Fb, Live, etc)
- Improvements to IE (and Youtube)
So far so good.
Love this.
TechCrunch complaining about Facebook ripping off MyPad
So both apps use a two-column layout. Woopty doo. The TechCrunch article mentions design flattery, but what I consider is that the MyPad application was simply well-designed, so when Facebook goes to design something well it comes out similarly. You can’t blame them for going for the two-column layout though.
Then again, I also understand the other perspective. Facebook’s application is quite similar, and now MyPad’s iPad application is obsolete.
