The Night!




Expanded Architecture 2011 lit up the walls, floors and architectural details of Carriageworks on Wednesday 26th November from 7 - 10pm. Evolved from a more traditional screen based film festival style screening and panel discussion in 2010 - we deliberately went beyond the screen and called out for artists, designers and architects to respond to the amazing architecture of the Cariageworks foyer.



All of the works in the exhibition were moving projection installations that were made up of footage shot on site or in the surrounding urban environment.


Participating Artists were:

FloodSlicer + Beth Steven
Adam Russell (DRAW) + Suzy Pickles (Kann Finch/Staple Design)
The Conductors (Thomas Rivard, Michael Lewarne,
Francesca Veronesi, Paul J. Warren)
Killanoodle (Michael Killalea, Sarah Barns, Ian Plowman)
MNP Projects (Linda Matthews, Sarah Nolan, Gavin Perin)
Lucy Rimmer + Irina Belova
Marcia Jane 
MoFo
Nicholas Maurer 
Office Feuerman
Bert Bongers
Tega Brain

All photos below taken by myself and my ever obliging Dad, Ian Hamilton.

The fabulous Ms Emin



Illuminating, engaging, intelligent, fascinating - the amazing Ms Emin is profiled in this thoughtful interview. It made me want to know more. I might get the book.

I'll post photos from last night's Expanded Architecture soon - it was a great night!

Expanded Architecture 2011 will be lighting up the cavernous and evocative Carriageworks foyer tonight!
We've done our test night, (where the photos above were taken), I've hand folded over 500 catalogues (my poor fingers!), and it looks like we're all set to go! 
...I need not mention my nightmare last night, where I was stumbling through the Carriageworks building tripping over power cables and not knowing where I was!
