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.

Burn Archetype

Dominic Kavanagh
March 12th till April 2nd


Burn Archetype is an installation that appropriates a particular agent of Ruination. An unlikely group of hapless and discarded materials find themselves plucked from their suburban surrounds. Modified and reassigned within the realms of an assemblage sculpture, they are further united when thrown into the flames of a fire. The remains of these once prosaic objects presently occupy the white interior of window99’s art space, where one can delight in their charred, sublime condition.
