Australian Artist releases first Pop App
Apple has just released the first Pop Art application into their itunes store, showcasing the work of Australian artist, Johnny Romeo. Entitled iRomeo, the application was developed by Buratti Fine Art, and provides a flash gallery, automatic event updates, biographies and direct links to twitter and facebook fan pages for the artist. The app is free to download and there is a second version in development for the Android phone slated for release to coincide with the artist’s upcoming Perth exhibition entitled “Sin City”. This is possibly an Australian first for an industry which sees the digital arena starting to take over the reach of the traditional gallery system.

TUMBLNG OVR – a group show taking the visual inspirations and titillation of some of your favourite creatives and putting them on display. Basically they’re taking everything normally put on a blog, and putting it on their gallery walls.
They will be hosting image collections from Kenzie Larsen, Luke Lucas and Bams&Ted, as well as Mel Stringer, Marty Routledge, Future Classic DJs, Caitlin Shearer, Johnny Romeo and a whole bunch more…
“Tumblng Ovr is our first exhibition of the relaunch. Thinking about artists that had grabbed my attention over the last year, I realised that I had discovered most of them online, especially via other people’s tumblrs. I follow a few art enthusiasts, and every morning checking my tumblr dashboard was like having a new exhibition on my screen, curated by a bunch of bloggers whose tastes I’d subscribed to. I think tumblr, just because it so easy to use, has made a lot of people curators of their own visual experiences, even if they don’t work in or practice any visual arts themselves. So Tumblng Ovr is the Wall asking some of our favourite creatives and creative friends to collect images for a week, as if they were going to be blogging them, and then reproducing them and hanging them in the flesh. We’re taking the haphazard and sum-of-its-parts tone of a tumblr, and throwing them up on the walls to see what’s triggering and tickling people’s inspirations on any given week.” Matt Roden http://artonthewall.tumblr.com/
