In September, Sydneysiders will be able to enjoy a colourful art exhibition for free, showcasing new work from cutting edge street artists Apeseven, Beastman, Ben Frost, Bennet, Bridge Stehli, Drewfunk, Ears, Jumbo, Max Berry, Meggs, Mini Graff, Numskull, Phibs, Roach, Sam Smith, Shannon Crees and Yok.

Yes, top street artists on show in middle of the city where you the least would expect!

Popping up at 580 George, home to the HSBC Centre and CBD shopping hot spot; The Places in Between art exhibition will be hard to miss, transforming the HSBC Tower Lobby, and 580 George Food Court and Ground Level into a gallery of top large-scale Aussie urban art.

Curated by street art advocates aMBUSH Gallery, The Places in Between follows from last year’s In Full Bloom exhibit at the same site. The exhibition will be open daily from Monday to Saturday all month, and everyone are welcome to meet the artists at the Opening Night Event on 2 September from 6pm at the HSBC Centre.

aMBUSH’s Bill Dimas says; “Each work has been carefully selected to showcase how each very different modern Australian artist interprets and expresses the world around them. The views of these contemporary commentators have a unique way of interoperating on how we see things, and I think many people will leave this exhibition with a sense of what each artist is contemplating or articulating.”

“I am personally thrilled about having the chance to transform the HSBC Centre into a vibrant and creative space, packed with visual art; and to enable passers-by to appreciate these new and emerging styles while going about their daily commute and tasks. We hope it encourages CBD workers and residents, visitors and shoppers to engage with the works and to think about art, and our society in new ways,” he says.

The annual exhibit is part of aMBUSH Gallery in Waterloo and 580 George & HSBC Centre management’s joint initiative to help local emerging artists gain a broader audience at home. The exhibit opens up the scope and diversity of Australia’s flourishing street art culture, and world-class artists to the broader community. The Project one of many of The Gallery’s initiatives to find commercial platforms for Australian artists to showcase their work, in and out of the traditional gallery space. Over 200 Australian local artists, designers and photographers have exhibited with aMBUSH to date.

Exhibition is open daily from Monday to Saturday, 1 to 30 September 2010. Free public event.
