Wyndham and Hobson’s Bay councils are joining together to
present Wunder Gym, ‘Recollection: Western Region Environment as Creative
Playground’ as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
The Wunder Gym group exhibition will feature at The Annex at Wyndham Cultural Centre from Thursday, October 5 until Sunday
October 22.
Wyndham councillor Marcel Mahfoud said Wunder
Gym is an art program that extends the skills and practice of emerging,
established and curious creatives.
“Artists from Melbourne’s western region were mentored by contemporary artist
Elvis Richardson, to see their worlds from new perspectives and draw inspiration
from their local environment and communities as their artistic playground,” Cr Mahfoud said.
“This creative prompt invited artists to be collectors, editors and curators using their
local environment’s objects, recordings, sounds and images as their raw material
and inspiration for their artwork.
Exploring how their art practice changes the function
of the chosen object.”
In addition to the physical exhibition at The Annex, Recollection XL, a series of
large scale temporary public art installations will be located at Laneway Gallery at 44
Woods Street Laverton, and the Altona Civic Centre.
