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.

Project for the Rights of Matter

Benjamin Woods
April 9th till May 7th


a note on honesty:
Allow me to disregard my materiality-based practice for one project. Honesty between you and me - while an intrinsically human capacity - could well be a breath of fresh air for a post-modern irony. Honesty has no method, no production, no proposition and no task for post-modernism to deny, and when it is so, we just seem to know. You cannot approach honesty with a 'method of honesty' because that would be contrived. At the same time, you cannot expect honesty of things. Therefore when we take on honesty as an idea for change/production, it is not by way of tactics or a conscious effort to move away from cynicism, but is simply there by way of its power as a human-generated non-human thing. This ongoing project tries to give matter a chance to be in-itself by attributing matter rights. It becomes problematic for materiality-based practice when we notice matter could be deceiving us.
