BUS @ WEST WING: Commodity/Fetishism

Kat Clarke, Maggie Brown, Chantal Fraser & Ann Fuata, Andrew Goodman, Kirsten McIver, Drew Pettifer, Kent Wilson

18 Jan 2011 - 30 Jan 2011 · West Space · The West Wing
Opening: Thursday 20 January 2010, 6-8pm

This exhibition will form part of BUS Projects’ off site series of explorations into the nature of spatial artistic practices. Melbourne Central provides an ideal site in which to frame and mediate the interdependence of spatial practice with the concept of site-specificity. The works in this exhibition will be anchored in the site and its surroundings, critically reproducing the conditions of their spectacle context – consumption, obsolescence, nostalgia and longing – as a strategy to forestall their own displacement into commodities.
