Grungy, humorous and topical, Eco Boutique is an exhibition of sculpture and
installation by Sydney-based artists Josie Cavallaro, Sarah Goffman and Lisa
Kelly. The exhibition explores, among other things, the tension between the
artificial and the natural, the successes and failures of tourism and the
nature of consumption.
The artists, who have never been to the Northern
Territory, are interested in possible parallels between popular
representations of the NT and their own urban environment.
Most of the
work in the show could loosely be described as assemblage, possibly
fabrication, (literally and ironically) using recycled materials, found
objects and constructed scenarios.
Opening Friday 31 May 6pm 24HR Art
Artists talk Saturday 1 June 12pm
Gallery viewing hours are Wed - Fri 10am - 6pm Sat 10
