The Space

window99 was an installation space in the window of 99 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. It was a not-for-profit, artist focused space, open 24 hours a day, everyday.

The Idea

window99 offer an alternative to exhibiting art within the white cube by moving the gallery into the public setting. This also provided artists with an opportunity to exhibit their work within a highly exposed, flexible window box for an affordable rate.

The New Venture

window99 has now resolved with a new space three doors up being the next venture for Marie and Leo. The new initiative is called Conduit Arts and continues the window99 and Rollerdoor Performance Space focus on bringing emerging artists, musician and performers together along with their audiences.

Mind the fence, it's freshly painting

Leo Kavanagh & Marie Schoenmaker
March 12th till April 2nd

Mind the fence, it’s freshly painted is a still image of a moment when Marie and Leo decided to reclaim their front stoop. Their stoop is a hive of activity, frequented often by locals who can been seen drinking, talking and arguing their way through their days as well as the odd indiscriminate tagger who sees the front door as a good place to write their initials. They built a fence and installed it around their stoop. Unfortunately their effort to reclaim their territory is bound for failure, as they are unable to attach the fence to the pavement of the busy street.
