CC heading South!!

Oscar — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:35:11 +0000

Well so this is it, our southerly sojourn sees us occupying the Dunedin Public Art Gallery (some of it anyway) for just over 3 months with brand new, tripped out, large scale works examining not if the ‘consumer society’ exists, but how we are so comfortable being part of it. And there is no denying that we here at CCHQ enjoy our nice tings much as the next con-sumer..

This is just one of the conundrums that has informed ‘Illegal Tender’.

More info and taster pics to come….

Art swap continues…

In a really pleasing continuation of the replacement of one of TrustMe’s new works from the SoHole site, comes this…

The last replacement was a cool iteration of the original, this time a brand new work is made and installed in the same spot the original was hung.

Our friend Brownie is having a show this week, his first in a little while. We’re pretty keen to see what he’s been up to in this time! This Thursday evening between 5 & 8, above the Eco Store next to Vic Park New World. 1A Scotland St – Ponsonby, Auckland." src="http://cutcollective.co.nz/2010/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/BrownieInvite1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="356" />

High Class Blues

Oscar — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:47:37 +0000

Coming from the term ‘high class problems’ which I came across amongst friends in the states, … They’re the type you have when life really ain’t at all that bad.

TrustMe.

More soHOLE..

Pretty cool interplay going on here.. a piece from the previous soHOLE post that got adopted out has been reinterpreted and reinstalled.

Only this piece is hand painted and reflected back to front! Too choice.

New work by TrustMe to accompany the spontaneous signage already in place on one of the most offensive development blights in our area.

Thanks dicks.

Our friend Levi, skater, artist, designer, dog lover, features in this vid of some of Auckland’s better known bombing runs. If you know the hills then you can truly appreciate the fearlessness Levi brings to this old time skating tradition. Massive respect indeed!

Help Miss Mica!

Oscar — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 06:05:36 +0000

Help our friend Miss Mica raise money to get her and her art to Sydney for a show there.

She is producing a drawing a day for the moth of June and auctioning them here on trademe with reserves of $5!

Trust us when we say her work rules – we bought 3 pieces from her recent show here in Auckland at the High Seas. So we aint just saying it..

Paper Scissors Stock

Oscar — Thu, 27 May 2010 00:46:06 +0000

Cut Collective launched their studio space CCHQ with a print exhibition “Paper, Scissors, Stock”.

Including work from Brother Charlie and Misery, the prints proved popular with many moving out the door. The only problem with hosting our own shows is having to take them down and set the studio back up the very next day! Balls.

What to say….

A true legend passes, those lucky enough to make their St James gig (Jan 28, 2004 – seems like yesterday!), will remember it as a hip-hop highlight of a lifetime. The Militia, Above The Clouds, gem after gem after gem, Premo’s test of hip-hop sing along knowledge, Big Shug, those guys hanging after the show signing and signing and signing, too much!

Head over to BaseFM to cop plenty of tributes from the GURU loving DJ’s over the next wee while.
