Arts Mobile Sydney :: Well, This Sounds Mysterious

...11.01.10

Type your name, email address and phone number into a box on this website, and some day this month you’ll get a text telling you to go somewhere in the city and you will go to that place, because isn’t it nice to feel wanted by strangers. Once you arrive there you’ll find something unexpected, and you will enjoy what you find, because it will be art, and you love art. Especially when it’s unexpected. The project’s name is Arts Mobile Sydney, and the aim ostensibly to rudely interrupt the regular day-to-day of the unsuspecting suits in the CBD – which suits you, because you love interrupting people. Especially rudely.

Unfortunately for “No Pants” Schmidt, this particular sms-based thing-a-ma-jig involves pants (probably). It also involves live, interactive installations of multi-media artwork by Julie Doye, Jonathan James, Joe Angert-Quilter, Daniel Malecki, MamaDada, Ivi Olszewska, Tom Phillipson and Sandra Veljanovski taking over an unspecified-as-yet venue for one day only, with passerbys encouraged to not only look at but to create, discuss and take home pieces of art. It’s an independent project with aims to “facilitate wider access to the arts by presenting creativity beyond the traditional gallery context” – they don’t just want the usual art-peering crowds passing through, hence all the secrecy. This one’s more of a yuppie ambush… And you love a good yuppie ambush. Once more, that link.
