COFA lecturer Richard Goodwin, along with Adrian Macgregor and Russell Lowe
intend to build a seven-meter bar in Underwood Street as part of the City of Sydney’s Laneways By
George! Hidden Networks project.
The Seven Metre Bar celebrates inaction on climate change with a drinking bar built inside
the detritus of our age of progress and capitalism. The work combines the landscape of weather and
topography with the physicality of the architecture of a catastrophe and the technology of digital
games. The proposed Laneways By George! 2009 - Hidden Networks temporary artworks will now go
through the DA process, if approved the works will be installed in time for the City of Sydney's
Art & About event in October.
Laneways By George! Hidden Networks project aims to transform and explore the potential of
City laneways with creative, innovative and inspiring high quality temporary artworks.
The installations are intended to remain in place from early October 2009 until the end of
The Sydney Festival in late January 2010.
