Join Chris Parkinson and me to play with the surface of MPavilion Parkville on the University of Melbourne’s campus. Chris and I have won an artist residency-project grant for our proposal SURFACITY, which will create new surfaces in the pavilion to explore urban character, identity and culture.
During our residency, we will collaborate on an evolving installation within the pavilion, inviting others to create new surfaces and shape a collectively-authored notice board. The project examines how cities are reflected through the images we display in public – and how aesthetic values and politics collide in Melbourne’s urban landscape.
Drop in daily 10am-4pm between 6-10 October to leave your mark. You can also sign up for workshops to explore street art techniques or join a guided tour exploring public imagery of the surrounding neighbourhood.
