“A street arts program building us a new kingdom for salvation – an escape from the reserve of the suburban babel banal.
THE SALVATION SHOW applies street styles / forms & logics to the interior of a secret city site and will be an exhibition where existing artworks can be submitted for display and sale or works can be created onsite.
Works will respond to the culture and thematics of the suburban experience utilising: installation / painting / graffiti / paste-ups / drawing / photography / sculpture / print making & more, and will feature young and emerging artists (26 years or under, or in their first five years of practice.”
Our work involved the installation of a ‘police carousel’, we stenciled policemen and police vehicles onto tin cut-outs and erected a fence wrapped with pololice tape. Also in the slightly-less-than-life-size diorama, there was a policeman urinating (using cellophane to describe the urinal stream), a policeman poking a stick at another policeman’s legs who has found himself stuck in the ceiling somehow (he hasn’t hung himself btw) and another who has passed-out after a completing a sloppy ‘Yo Nes Maybe’ tag and has had a quick binge on Fosters.
Hurben said it was fun painting the large ololo on the floor outside.
