Wyndham City Arts and Culture are collaborating with Hobson’s Bay Council to present Wunder Gym, ‘Recollection: Western Region Environment as Creative Playground’ as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
Working with Mentor Elvis Richardson, The Annex at Wyndham Cultural Centre will feature a new Wunder Gym group exhibition from Thursday 5, October until Sunday 22, October.
Wyndham City’s Creative City portfolio Holder, Cr Marcel Mahfoud said: “Wunder Gym is a practical art program that provides the opportunity to stretch emerging, established and curious creatives and extend their skills and practice.”
“Artists from Melbourne’s Western region were mentored by contemporary artist Elvis Richardson, to see their worlds from new perspectives and draw inspiration from their local environment and communities as their artistic playground.”
“This creative prompt invited artists to be collectors, editors and curators using their local environment’s objects, recordings, sounds and images as their raw material and inspiration for their artwork. Exploring how their art practice changes the function of the chosen object.”
“Come along to the Exhibition Opening on Wednesday 4, October from 6.30pm to 8.30pm featuring all the artist’s work and be immersed and captivated at The Annex at Wyndham Cultural Centre.” said Cr Mahfoud.
In addition to the physical exhibition at The Annex, Recollection XL, a series of large scale temporary public art installations will be located at Laneway Gallery at 44 Woods Street Laverton, and the Altona Civic Centre.
Come and see fabulous artworks from artists in Melbourne’s West.
