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.

Venetian Blinds

Llawella Lewis
March 12th till April 2nd


Llawella chose to recreate a Venetian Blind for its domestic relevance and the implications behind obscuring ones view through a window. The blinds are made by hand sewing architectural tracing paper together with polyester sewing thread. Together the process and quality of the medium transformed the blinds into something more. Upon hanging the blinds, the materials collapsed and distorted, creating abstractions within the structure.

    Wonderful blinds, I like the style, especially when the blinds fold to a triangle look. The Blinds look luxurious and very neat.

    Oh! That's an incredible idea for blinds! The creator is really talented and creative. I wonder how many days it took for Llawella to finish this modern masterpiece.
