Part exhibition, part open forum. The 30-metre long installation reflects on Victoria’s design history and encourages visitors to share their stories. The exhibition draws on photographs, archival materials, graphics and sketches to retell tales of design in our daily life from 1835 to present day.

Your average two-dimensional stencil artist goes out on the street with a cardboard stencil and a can of spray paint. With the 3D Stencil, Trent Jansen goes to the street with a small mould and a can of ecologically inert expansion foam. The mould is attached to a wall and filled with expansion foam. Once the foam has cured the mould is removed, leaving a small form on the wall.

The first form used for the 3D Stencil has been a small half lampshade. A battery with LED’s is placed inside the shade, providing a small light source in some of the city’s darkest corners. Installation of the project will take place during the day, viewing is after dark.

19-25 July, 2010. Free. Higson Lane, Melbourne.

The Gertrude Street Projection Festival

The 2010 Gertrude Street Projection Festival turns Gertrude Street into a free walk, ride, drive and tram through outdoor projection gallery. Every night animations, stills, and digital art in all its forms are projected onto the pavements, buildings and walls of Gertrude Street.
