Where's My Jetpack? to be opened by Henry Mulholland, artist and visual arts commentator tonight at NG Art Gallery, Chippendale, from 6 - 8pm.

Jane Gillings transforms plastic found objects and gives them new life in Where's my Jetpack? Influenced by the futuristic aesthetic of the 50's and 60's Gillings' miniature models are humorous souvenirs from where we thought we'd be: in a world full of hover-cars and floating space stations.

Blast off with Jane Gilling's 10 stop motion animations in one 5 minute sitting on youtube  - click here

The possibilities of plastic become a reality when you create your own space-age sculpture using polypropylene scraps and a fifties sense of design. Learn how to find the perfect piece of otherwise trash that will transform your design and make it gleam with pop-plastic colour and curvatious contours. 

Souped up with extra intrigue, this workshop has a second element to it. Jane Gillings, having created a series of stop motion animations for her current exhibition, lets us in on her secrets of animation. Could you achieve You-Tube fame and fortune? Anything is possible in the Supersonic sculpture Lab!

All materials and tools are supplied. Bring your own laptop, thumb drive and camera (not essential) and Jane will show you how to create a stop motion animation with software standard to Mac OSX.

To book call 9318 2992

Bernard Ollis' upcoming solo exhibition at NG Art Gallery, Paris Considered, is an intuitive visual journey transcending the evocative experience of a city host to a historical tradition of artistic influence and inspiration.

Transmitting between Paris and Sydney, Ollis quintessentially engages the heightened sensory experience of a geographical displacement. Tapping into the metropolitan vivacity these works rouse pictorial meanderings of the curious pedestrian. Bending the laws of perspective in a submission to Ollis' quirk and unusual insights in exposing the complexities beyond the cliche.

Paris Considered is to be opened by Visual arts writer for the Daily Telegraph in Sydney, Australian correspondent for The Art Newspaper, and  founder and editor of artwriter.com.au Elizabeth Fortescue on Tuesday 14 August at NG Art Gallery, Chippendale, from 6 - 8pm.
