Group Exhibition ‘Out of Place’ 1999, Installation view: West Space, Bourke Street Mall, 1999. Photography by Christian Capurro.

Out of Place was an exhibition presented on the Flinders Street hoardings of Federation Square during its construction.

The works, specifically made for the site, negotiated issues of public display and engagement through a sense of play and illusion. Curated as a juxtaposed collection of different visualised ideas, the overall sense was of a continuous single artwork, thereby producing a kind inadvertent collaboration.

Out of Place was held in conjunction with the 1999 Melbourne International Festival.

Brett Jones works with ideas around the copy and the original. Using various reproduction mediums including casting, photography, video and sound he is concerned with creating opportunities for displacing and unburdening the referent. He co-founded West Space in 1993 where he was centrally involved until 2008.
