If you haven’t already been down to shed 14 here’s the lowdown…
16 prominent visual trouble makers have been painting up a storm. The shed looks awesome after the old launch last Sunday; with the addition of a huge collaborative wall at the end of the space, and now casual touch ups and additions to individuals pieces.
Come in and crash on a bean bag for a while and have a chat, bring your music, your camera and your wheels (its too big to walk around)!
Venue: Shed 14, Docklands (catch
the city circle tram or number 35 from Latrobe st)
Dates: 24 September to 10 October • 12pm to 6pm daily
Tickets: FREE
Launch: 26 September • 2pm – 6pm
s u r f a c e – subject to change is a fully interactive,
living, breathing, street art experience. In one vast space
our most vibrant urban and regional site-specific artists
and designers come together to well and truly scratch the
s u r f a c e of interactive graffiti culture.
From 24 September, 16 prominent underground Melbourne street
artists and designers plus arts
students from Goulburn Ovens TAFE will begin transforming
the 24 huge doors of Shed 14. In a
Melbourne first, the public are invited to join the artists
at Shed 14 throughout Melbourne Fringe and witness this cutting-edge
creative mission in progress. Visit more than once to see
the evolution of this imaginative piece of public art, talk
to the creators and emmerse yourself in Melbourne’s
visual street culture.
Street art is an ephemeral, temporary and spontaneous beast.
It is often illegal, anonymous and
very stealthy making it a genre of art that many are not familiar
with and do not necessarily value.
s u r f a c e – subject to change is a rare chance to
get to know and appreciate this unique art
form. Melbourne is currently heralded as one of the prime
street and site-specific art locations in the world. The Melbourne
street art scene is dynamic and bursting with enthusiasm,
new styles and new kids on the block! With recent international
endeavors and exchange programs involving street artists from
Melbourne and LA as well as groups such as The Silent Army,
who have secured international publishing commitments for
their future projects, the Melbourne street art scene is currently
attracting attention by the wider arts community. Recent visits
from Banksy (UK) and Space Invader (France) have also strengthened
the kudos of Melbourne’s street art culture.
Our street artists are culture-makers and attitude enhancers
who are integral to the soul of our city.
Artists include: james Dodd, Civil, Phibs,
Ashtek, Vexta, Pets, Nails, Pandarosa, tin&ed, Sync, Reka,
Monkey, Two, Andrea Jolley, Kiron Robinson, Chris Hill, and
the Silent Army.
Go on – we dare you to scratch the s u r f a c e.
