The I Used To Skate Once exhibition, presented by The Outpost, surfaced in Brisbane nearly five years ago. An annual event, it brings together a lineup of local and international artists, and musicians. For me, this year’s biggest drawcard is Jonathan Zawada. We recently waxed lyrical about his side project Taste Fun! and now he’s turned his pen to a skateboard deck. No mean feat to be our favourite, considering he’s joined by French and Claudio Kirac. I think what makes this exhibition so successful is the personal connection The Outpost has with each artist involved. The list of collaborators literally reads like a personal address book, with everyone involved either friends, customers or people working in the fashion and design industry. Plus the art is pretty cool.
