"A broken camera, a hairless doll, a pair of old boots...One
person's trash is another person's treasure! Two venues, a clothesline and a compelling collection
of junk..."
Students of COFA's Associate Professor Alan Krell have created an unusual interactive event
as part of their
'The Production of Art' course in the School of Art
History and Theory.
Taking on the challenge given by Professor Krell to explore the status of junk and the spaces
it occupies in western society
Waste of Space will take place for one night only across
two venues that will be linked via a clothesline, guiding viewers from Spacejunk, located at South
Dowling Street, Darlinghurst, to the Ivan Dougherty Gallery at the College of Fine Arts.
An assortment of intimate and personal objects and photographs will be presented for viewing
on the evening concluding with a garage sale installation at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery.
Waste of Space Wednesday 2 November 2005, 6 - 8pm.
Ivan Dougherty Gallery is situated within the College of
Fine Arts - corner of Oxford Street and Greens Road, Paddington.
Spacejunk is located at 323 South Dowling Street,
Darlinghurst.
