The Thousands

Gallery openings generally come well-stocked with art and liquor, but here’s one that will have your eyes feasting while your stomach craves a capricciosa with double mozzarella.**‘Extra Cheeese’ is a tasty collection of work by Sydney artists and designers on the sugo-stained canvas of a pizza box. Integrating a range of different forms, you have the choice of tangy graphics, spicy ink and lip-smacking line work in a feast of both experienced and emerging artists.**"The pizza box is a very accessible medium to an emerging (poor!) artist or designer," explains ‘Extra Cheese’ organiser, Dittmar. "I also wanted to make a comment on high and low art + design. By taking the object of a pizza box (that is essentially devalued) and putting something beautiful on it, it’s recontextualising the form and questioning the value."**We suggest you sample this one for yourself.
