URBAN INTERVENTIONS - STREET GALLERY

The Spanish Quarter in Sydney has been transformed into an open-air, public gallery space. The works on display are subtle and subversive, mounted on plinths formed by columns supporting the monorail track on Liverpool Street, often overlooked or ignored by passer's by. Finely detailed castings of remote controls, mobile phones and soft drink cans bearing messages overtly critical of a media and consumer based society. Is this the break down of communication? Is technology in a state of malfunction? Do these works mark the glitches in the system? Are they the imperfect 'seconds' cast from the production line?  As with most urban interventions the artists remain anonymous...
