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.

Klara Kelvy, 'Christmas Window'
"I wanted to do something about Christmas...I've been brought up to think of Christmas as a story about a family." Klara Kelvy

Georgie Roxby Smith, 'Keep it Real'
The digital age has bred a plethora of persona. keep it real
the intersection between the idealised digital identities and private 
insecurities we project via social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and the virtual world. 
Keep it real manifests these identities through a grotesque distortion 
of the artist's self portrait avartar created in the virtual world of 
Second Life - challenged by real life performance video of the artist desperately trying to imitate her perfect virtual self.

Opening: Friday 10th of December
Exhibition runs till January 2nd, 2011
