About:

Tim Parish is the art director and co-editor of Undergrowth.org, which he founded with Rak Razam in 2004. He is a cross media artist, working in video art, painting, illustration, writing, and graphic design. His films have been screened in festivals around the planet, as well as widely distributed freely through Indymedia channels and the internet.

I like to play with words, colours, molecules, and pixels.

Empty Show 2002

video : Tim Parish

audio: DJ Shadow

A short music video documentation of the first Empty Show in Williamstown, Melbourne 2002.

"I created this while video working for the Melbourne community tv show Access News as a creative way to document the first Empty Show exhibition, which a number of well known street artists around Melbourne had created in an abandoned pub in Williamstown. It only lasted for an hour hour before the police came and kicked us all out, and although I returned there a few months later the whole place had been boarded up. For all I know all the art is still sitting in there, like some cave that will be discovered by future anthropologists or something and turned into a monument of early 21st century creativity. Or, at least I hope so."

VISIONS of MU opening party

 

A few photos from the VISIONS of MU exhibition launched at the Otto Mainzheim Gallery on the 27th of October in Hacchoubori. Despite a typhoon closing down many trainlines around Tokyo for the night, a lovely crowd braved the storms and gail force winds to make the opening. A live music and VJ performance by NabeOne and myself (Verb) kicked off the later night party with the tunes of DJ Moja and various random dj drop-ins and some live painting on the walls of the gallery until dawn.
