More Of The Same

Also worth a mention are the 'Empty Shows' that used to occur in Melbourne, i havent experienced one but i heard about them some years ago, couldnt find much info on the but check out

another project that i found out about through school was the 'Depot' project which also has similar ideas to what i am interested in

One of my dreams would be to get a council legislation written that allows for these sort of artistic interventions to occur in spaces that are left unoccupied for years or are about to face demolition. The irony being that these interventions are taking place worldwide regardless of permission as street and graffiti artists infiltrate abandoned spaces to produce creative expression and leaving without anyone being aware of the hidden master pieces.
