Tuesday the 19th February – 2013 – Beach Burrito Co. Bondi Beach
The Camera Club presents SoundSchool by Julian May: A behind the scenes photographic exploration of SoundSchool, a musical journey from Sydney to Delhi, India and back.
SoundSchool is a series of Australian music events and initiatives, raising money to purchase musical instruments, teaching aids and tuition for street children in underprivileged countries. SoundSchool’s debut fundraising event came to life with a rocking gig at The Beach Road Hotel, Bondi in August 2010 raising in excess of $20,000 which went directly toward starting the very first SoundSchool in Delhi, India November 2010.
Local shutter bug, Julian May heard about SoundSchool and fast became their official photographer documenting the SoundSchool journey. In November, 2010 Julian packed a bag (at his own expense) for Delhi, India to document the set up of the very first SoundSchool for the street children of Salaam Baalak Trust.
This debut exhibition showcases Julian’s exploration in a timeline that is SoundSchool’s amazing adventure to date. From the first fundraiser, to the streets and sights of India, the wonderful kids picking up a guitar for the first time to their very first gig!
SoundSchool by Julian May is being exhibited at the The Camera Club, upstairs at the Beach Road Hotel, Bondi Beach. A community-minded bar & gallery that’s dedicated to celebrating creativity through camera-based pursuits. SoundSchool follows on from the success of recent exhibitions including ‘We All Have Teenage Fantasies’, ‘Fancy That!’ and ‘We Stand Sideways curated by Stab’.
“We’re super excited to see SoundSchool bring their fantastic project to the walls of The Camera Club in what will be a show unlike any other to date”. Darryl Nichols, Co-Founder, The Camera Club
Entry to The Camera Club is free of charge with the SoundSchool by Julian May will be hanging on the walls for six weeks, with Thursday nights hosting a revolving schedule of music, food and photography activations.
After two successful exhibitions, ‘we all have teenage fantasies’ and ‘Fancy That’ The Camera Club,a community based bar & gallery space that’s dedicated to celebrating creativity through camera related pursuits, is now set to deliver its third photographic showcase ‘We Stand Sideways’.
We Stand Sideways presents the all inspiring work of a group of global surf photographers. Hand-picked by the creative folk at STAB Magazine the s…how features images snapped by the world’s
leading surf lensmen including Richie Freeman, Sergio Villalba, Ryan Miller & Ben Brown amongst many others. From the Canary Islands & Iceland through Asia & South Pacific here is a top-shelf selection that’ll make you wanna slide!
“I believe you will find this exhibition incredibly comely. It is a metaphor – the surfer trapped in the wave’s crazy hypnosis – for all the black men living in ghetto torture chambers, deballed by the poisonous pus of crime and pimpdom. You may find the link tenuous. For us, We Stand Sideways is a metaphorical portrait of ghetto life – a masterpiece!” Derek Rielly, Stab Magazine
“We’ve so much respect for the team at Stab and absolutely honoured to have them involved in curating the We Stand Sideways exhibition. Its shaping up to be really quite special.” Darryl Nichols. Co-Founder, The Camera Club
The ‘We Stand Sideways’ exhibition launch party is being held Thursday April-14 from 7pm with a special sideways-inspired free cocktail on entry and live dj. If you’re in the market for some seriously impressive surf photography then get ready to get down!
In keeping with its community-based approach The Camera Club has also released a number of extensions including a Stab Magazine library, vintage photo booth, exhibition inspired cocktails and camera related inspiration from the past, present and future.
The Camera Club is located within the Beach Road Hotel, proudly supported by 42 Below & Brought to you by Knack Studios.
