The White Rabbit Gallery - A cheeky hip Sydney gallery and a cafe that sells hot pond water. What more could some annoying Sydney sider who thinks he's into art possibly want?!

Well not a lot more I thought as I paraded into The White Rabbit Gallery to have a closer look after nattering with a work mate last week, who recommended it rather highly.

Tucked down the back streets of Chippendale near Sydney city, it's a gallery that's been open only a few years that hosts contemporary Chinese art and there are some fantastic bits and pieces hung up, projected and strewn around here.

It's not overwhelming either (I hate galleries with too much stuff in it), with only 45 an hour needed to cover everything and satisfy your artistic taste buds.  The work has a nice variety to it from video works, arts and crafts style pieces and some dude who decided to re-create an old Chinese painting by inserting 1000's of tiny needles into a canvas, as a posed to just trying to paint the damn thing again. What a patient fella.

They change all the works every 6 months (good call), shutting for around 3 weeks to install it all. So this latest collection will come to a close end of July.

There is even a nice cafe that sells gay tea, so check it out and you can feel all wanky and pretentious like me:
