Expired Events in Sydney

The Wellington Gallery presents Gum Trees and Hot Concrete- an exhibition of new abstract paintings by emerging Sydney artist Alexandra Plim.Gum Trees and Hot Concrete is about painting- experimentation- and finding some freedom amongst the chaos of city life.'As the pandemic wreaked havoc on the arts and entertainment industry and school shut downs made painting time non-existent- I did not think having an exhibition this year would be possible! Somehow the paintings were still painted- be it in the middle of the night- and with some sensible restrictions galleries are still open! So here we are. I'm thrilled to be able to share this work with an audience of art lovers- especially as we are all so desperate to feel connected- inspired and uplifted.' - Alexandra Plim

The Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) presents an online lecture- 'Hangeul is Art' celebrating Hangeul Day (9 Oct) in Korea which commemorates the creation of the Korean alphabet- Hangeul by King Sejong the Great in 1446.One of the pioneers in the field of Hangeul design- Prof. Jae-Joon Han of Seoul Women's University will share his interpretation on the Hunminjeongeum Haerye (Explanations and Examples of the Korean Alphabet) based upon the information found in the book added with his imagination as an artist.Prof. Han has also invented 'CR Che'- a font that highlights Hangeul's simplicity while maximising its ability to expand by adding strokes to only 6 basic Hangeul letters (3 consonants- 3 vowels) to create all 24 letters of Hangeul- which then can be used to make syllables- words- phrases and even art works.While Hangeul has been recognised as an excellent writing system with its unique features- Prof. Han highly values its aesthetic- artistic and philosophical aspects that Hangeul is art as it is and has potential to near-limitless versatility.This lecture will be a rare opportunity to meet one of the most renowned Hangeul designers of Korea who will take you on a journey to appreciate the beauty of Hangeul and lead you to your own creation. Prof. Han emphasises that anyone can be a Hangeul designer and if you are unsure of how- he will show you the way.This online event does not require a previous knowledge of Korean language and will be livestreamed on the KCC's Facebook
