… [judging from the wanky art blurb, this person looks like a real artiste. philth reckons it should've been called topic entropic as it is assumed there will be no typhoons, cocktails served in hollowed out coconuts or cabana-boys - all of which (or any combination of the above) epitomise the tropics for me]

Until Never presents

RUS KITCHINTake the long way home…

OPENING :: UNTIL NEVER

6PM to 8PM :: Wednesday May 14 :: 2008 (until June 14)

2nd flr 3-5 Hosier Lane :: Enter from Rutledge Lane :: Melbourne CBD :: AUSTRALIA

On the back of a sell out VCA Grad show and the recent exhibition of his video work in Berlin, Warsaw and Rotterdam, Rus Kitchin’s latest show, Take the long way home, continues the evolution of work that Kitchin partially locates in his active involvement within Melbourne’s graffiti culture of the late 80’s, and early 90’s. Rus is part of an influential and pioneering group of artists who exhibited in the seminal First National Aerosol Art  Exhibition – Pump up the Can! in 1991, and his work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria and is held in a number of private and public collections. Whilst Kitchin’s work embodies the spontaneity and expression of street culture, he doesn’t confine himself to the often generic aesthetics and expression that have come to be recognised as the visual landscape of graffiti today. Through his exploration of counter-cultural voices and ancient and contemporary humanist philosophy and icons, Kitchin presents an individual outlook on the human condition.
