Fringe Framed
Mon-Thur 4.00pm-1.00am, Fri, Sat 4.00pm-3.00am
This year is the 25th Melbourne Fringe Festival. From mullets to flat-tops to interpretive dance, the creative force that is the Fringe has been showing Melbourne the wilder and weirder side of our city's arts and culture since 1983. Chosen from The Age photography archive, this exhibition celebrates that history. Take a trip back in time and see some of the highlights of the last quarter-century of Melbourne Fringe: the street parade, the shows, the personalities and the milestones.
Exhibition opens 15 September.
Fringe Furniture 2007 - Material/ism
10.00am-5.00pm
The 2007 Fringe Furniture theme, Material/ism, seeks to allow all that “matters” in furniture and 2007 focuses more broadly into furnishings. Exhibits in this year’s show will embody a diversity of materials, ideas, forms, functions and potentially, inspire the desire to acquire. Ultimately, what materialises will be an abundance of diverse creativity!

Melbourne Fringe has commisioned 10 visual artists to create temporary public artworks, exterior signs and creative markers that acknowledge moments of celebration and history in the lives of ordinary people.
