Melbourne Empty Show - Feb 07

Damn. These have been a long time coming. They're from the Empty Show in the 3rd week of Feb 07, but my scanner was broken, and then then when it was fixed, I got too lazy to scan all of these. The Empty Show is an initiative that has been happening in Melbourne (and in other areas in Aus) for a few years now. Local artists take over an abandoned space (often due for demolition) and spend a week or so creating art. Then there's an 'opening'. where everyone runs around taking millions of pics. This site was an abandoned metalworks factory in the city near Flagstaff station. It's bizarre being able to paint through the day while passers by walk by absolutely oblivious. Awesome space, but I think I might have inhaled some asbestos......Cheers to Vexta and Braddock for all the organising.
