this week begins the exchange between the kids from project and field called 255 x 255. so called because project lives at 255 kiera st in wollongong and field lives at 255 king st in newcastle. both galleries have decided to re-ignite the friendly rivalry between the two sydney bookends (and former steel towns) and have a bit of a swap/meet.

friday night (16th feb) is the opening of 255 x 255 at project featuring the work of the directors from field contemporary artspace in newcastle:carly brett, chrissy cope, shelly evans, melanie foster, llawella lewis, kelly-ann lees and niomi sands

then on sunday and monday, the girls and boys from project head up to field to install for the 255 x 255 at field, which opens next thursday 22nd. the show features works from previous and recent project committee members:

damian bancks, lauren brown, jasmin carter, gino chiodo, peter james hewitt, john lascelles, ashley milne, andrew netherwood, jade pegler, marc wheatley and sara zarahodny

i'll be including a site-specific version of entropy, the works from platform, in "the box" plus some early manifestations of a work planned for the future.

if you're in either of these towns over the next couple of weeks - come and check out the shows!
