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.

January at window99

'PEEP'
Louise Francis
18th Jan till 6th Feb, 2011


Louise Francis’ installation entitled ‘PEEP’ draws the public into playing out their voyeuristic tendencies. A peephole runs from the glass of the window, accessible to the public, into window99’s studios behind, normally hidden from the public. Through three images in the second window space Francis then plays on the public’s anxieties of being at the receiving end of voyeurism as they are shown images of the outside world taken from within the enclosed studio, reminding us that there are two openings to a peephole.

"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

Knowledge W 414

British Paint White 0.5 Litre + M 0Y 57N V 0Y 7N = Knowledge W 414 

The formula for McKenzie's work is only realized once the outcome is conceived. The end piece, informed by wordplay, causes the viewer to wonder whether the work contains any meaning at all.   


Linsey Gosper
Paradise is where you are right now

Latex ink on wallpaper and self-adhesive vinyl

Gosper's work explores our daydreams of peaceful environments whilst prompting the viewer to question whether or not paradise is in fact where we are right now.
