Showing: Kid Zoom “Landed” @ Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art

Posted by SAL, March 11, 2014

Ian Strage aka Kid Zoom recently introduced his latest installation, Landed, for the 2014 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art.

For this piece, the Australian artist recreated his childhood home, a typical 1920’s suburban house that appears like it’s been dropped on the forecourt of the Art Gallery of South Australia. With it’s large size and odd positioning, taking […]

Showing: Ian Strange: “Final Act” @ Canterbury Museum

Posted by Manuel Bello, January 23, 2014

Artist, activist and humanitarian, Ian Strange took it upon himself to explore these now vacant communities, while teaming up with renowned cinematographer, Alun Bollinger (whose name you may recognize from such movie credits as Lord of The Rings, among others).
