 Arts Centre Melbourne presents

Kaeru - Environmental Public Art Project

 A large scale, cross-cultural community art project - to create a secret garden on the Upper Terrace at Hamer Hall!

During the month of August, renowned Japanese installation artist Hiroshi Fuji will be taking up residency at Arts Centre Melbourne to collaborate with Melbourne's Slow Art Collective and the people of Victoria.
The KAERU project is about renewal, transformation, sustainability and collaborative art - themes that celebrate Art Centre Melbourne's new Hamer Hall. Working with all kinds of recycled and organic materials Fujisan and the Collective extend an open invitation to local artists, students, and all the people of Melbourne to join them in creating an interactive garden installation on the upper terrace of the new Hamer Hall.
Structured workshops for school groups are available but anyone with a passion for creativity and sustainable, community driven art is encouraged to join us at our open studio!
So drop in for an hour, a day or come back regularly throughout August to contribute to a piece of public art that celebrates the rejuvenation of Hamer Hall and will inhabit a prominent place in Melbourne for months afterwards.

Dates and Times: 1 - 25 August

Drop-in open studio: Wednesday - Sunday, 12.30pm - 4.30pm
Structured workshops: By Arrangement

Raw Art
With Slow Art Collective artists Chaco Kato, Tony Adams and Dylan Martorell.

Raw Art is a collaborative art project with an environmental focus that merges elements of food preparation, drawing, sculpture, design and performance. Through these interconnected activities, students will have the opportunity to investigate their lifestyles and learn a healthy, innovative approach to food, food waste and recycled materials.

Students will engage in a one-day full immersion workshop with artists from the Slow Art Collective, an artistic collective that focuses on creative practices and ethics relating to environmental sustainability, material ethics, DIY culture and collaboration. These artists are: Chaco Kato, Tony Adams and Dylan Martorell. Each is a well-established artist in their own right as well as a member of this process-focused art group.

In addition to working alongside artists and recognising the role of an artist, students will work both individually and collaboratively. There will be time to reflect, evaluate and discuss their works and processes.

Although there is an emphasis on process, not outcome, in these workshops, each day will culminate in a mini exhibition/performance as well as feeding into a larger interactive installation which will be central to the exhibition held at ArtPlay on 31 March and 1 April.

Participants will also take home a photo (or image on a disc) of themselves involved in the process of creating the large-scale interactive installation.

'Try This at Home' @ OBJECT GALLERY , Sydney

8 OCTOBER 2011 – 8 JANUARY 2012

Utilising abandoned objects left by local residents for council pick-up, "Degavlas" fostered the practice of re-using and recycling. From these eclectic collecting trips, SAC created a moving body of work from gleaning and gleaners alike.
