THIS SATURDAY MARCH 21, 2015 FROM 11AM – 6PM the Redfern Biennale will be happening.
The Redfern Biennale is an outdoor, eclectic,
democratic free-for-all happening that will just happen on the day.
American artist Mike Kelley inspired the notion of the
Biennale as his cacophonous,
disorientating agglomerations and sprawling stuff heaped upon other stuff installations were described by art critic
Jerry Saltz in the Village Voice 2005, as a pioneering example of ‘clusterfuck aesthetics’.
Here's the back story: On Saturday the 8th of March 2014 the inaugural Redfern
Biennale came to life.
Organised by one of the movers and shakers of the Sydney
art world, Damien Minton, the Redfern Biennale was an exciting experiment in
taking art to the streets and
just standing back and watching what that concept
triggered.
And man it triggered some ***t.
But then again art is suppose to get people all thingy.
It’s all happening again this Saturday, the 21st of
March in the same location of Redfern bound by the streets of Elizabeth,
Walker, Cooper and Redfern.
Do not miss it. It is a whole lot of fun, and a
little bit of chaos, and a tiny touch of drama (maybe).
Some words from Damien himself: View for free ready-mades, sculpture, multi media, new
media, painting, found object or even a cobweb on the street.
There is no Council approval, we are just placing the
work on the streets for 7 hours.
Alongside a list of over 40 Sydney based practicing
artists we feature the display of artwork by local NSW Housing Commission
residents.
