NotesThe Photo Laundry is a new form of photo exhibition where we no longer need galleries or museums to enjoy the artworks. Everyone is welcome to show their work in the improvised gallery made of washing lines. Moreover, you will get a chance to take home an image that took your fancy in return. Print some of your best shots, come to enjoy Laura Street Festival, take clothes pins and hang your prints on our washing line for viewing and exchange! Schedule: 1pm - Event starts, and we start hanging photos (each participant is allowed to hand up to 5 prints). Viewing only, no exchange yet. 2:30pm - exchange starts! You will be given small stickers to "book" the photos you like to take them home after the event ends. 6pm - exhibit is closing Contact the organisers ([email protected]) for more information and prepare your prints for the Brisbane photo laundry! New meaning from an old message to promote the reuse of printed paper Everyone is welcome to participate in Blackout, an alternative and creative way to turn old messages into new ones. You will use old books, magazines and newspaper to create original messages focusing on reusing paper. Circle or highlight the words that you carefully choose to create your poem, message, statement or story that promotes the reuse of paper. You can black out the unnecessary words with a marker or paint colour. Reinvention = original fun! Libby Eckersley is in the process of finalising a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Queensland College of Art. With an interest in how we think, especially in Western cultures, her work investigates what art might contribute to this field. Long sustained processes brought an insight into a new way of thinking, hinting at something beyond dominant, critical paradigms. For Laura Street Festival, Libby brings two works. The first is titled Silent Damage 2011. Allowed to fade, this sculpture started as an inquiry into the social control of certain behaviours, i.e. the consumption of alcohol. What emerged was a demonstration of the anxiety inherent in the conflict between the human condition and pervasive control mechanisms. The second is titled Reading the Saturday Papers, Slowly. This piece will be created on the day. Created from newspaper, it derives from an interest in the way we consume mass media, and is a reflection on how we might develop more considered responses.
