Sydney's ARTISAN's in Silver Factory Style!

We threw a warehouse party inspired by Andy Warhol Silver Factory Movement.
Casa Del Bra Collective show cased some of their melodic accoustic set,  it was one I will hold true to my heart!

Think back to the true swinging sixities. Underbelly at its best with Warhol and his gang of 'superstars' hanging lose, getting high and pushing back the bounderies of art at their Silver Factory studio in the heart of New York.

I enjoyed the creative process wth my design team.  Producing Warhol's creative soup were based on boiling down the image. Finding impact in the most mundane of visuals and putting it through his reproctive, pschadelic mill at the Factory.

Portraits of Marilyn, Campbells and Bananas were just part of Warhol's world with fashion, photography, collage and print being staple media to enhance and encapsulate.

He would hang out with the likes of the Stones, Dylan, Edie Sedgewick, The Velvet Underground. Warhol and his entourage's decadence recently portraied in the Sienna Miller film; Factory Girl.

Warhols art was about inclusivenes and as much of its energy is about the coming together of creatives, wasters, models and musicians to participate in the process of the Factory and coin some of the most prominent images and lifestyle statements of the era.

On the night, we created the Silver Factory in the heart of Sydney. There was donated art installations, music and performances to entertain throughout the night. The theme was true sixties glamour in excess, glitz, grit, artisan, excuberant and freaky. An expression of an anthetamine fuelled, ground breaking and intoxicating Pop Art factory was alive and well in winterlicious 12th June 2011.

Celebrating with so many talented and like minded freinds uniting in artistic spirit reminded of how lucky I really am!
