With a whiff of Christmas pudding in the air, the end of November is an incredibly busy time in the Sydney art world – so many things are going on it’s impossible to keep up. We missed the new show by Paul Donald and Sarah Newell at the revamped Gallery Wren even though people kept saying it was a great exhibition and we should get along, we’ve just about missed the Robert Owen exposition at the Art Gallery of NSW (closes Sunday) and it looks like we’ll miss the Margarita Georgiadis show at Maree Mizon Gallery that opens on December 1.
We woke up in a sweat the other day and decided we had to do something about it. To celebrate the end of our first year, The Art Life is proud to announce The Art Life Guarantee of Quality!™ You’re asking yourself, what is this so-called “guarantee”? We vow that we will see every single exhibition advertised in Art Almanac in the first two weeks of December. We guarantee our readers that we will review every single show we see.
You’re no doubt saying, but that’s insane – you can’t see everything! Ah yes, but we can! Here’s how it’ll work: the list of galleries to be visited are those included in the listings of Art Almanac, excluding the North Shore, the Inner and Outer Sydney. Galleries that have exhibitions that run over into that period from November will be noted but not reviewed again. If we visit a gallery during advertised opening hours but find that the gallery is closed, they’ll be eliminated from the list. We’ll visit everything from the Wedding Circle to JL Etching, Gallery Wren to Galleries Primitif, Flying Lobster to MOP Projects, from Marlene Antico to The Dentist. This is The Art Life Guarantee of Quality!™
