Co-curated by Kristi Monfries, Timothy O’Donoghue and Georgia Sedgwick with the assistance of the artists involved, the exhibition will he held at one of Melbourne’s most innovative independent arts organisations, Bus Gallery, and will include a program of performances and artist’s talks as well as film screenings at Horse Bazaar and listening stations and product displays at Sunshine & Grease (a record shop located in Bus Gallery).
