THESE ARE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS 29 Sep -- 16 October 2010

THESE ARE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS!

Loosely based on the work of conceptual artist Sol leWitt, five artists were invited to present instructions detailing the creation/completion/extension of artworks to a participatory audience. Gallery visitors were invited to take an active part in the exhibitions development by constructing, developing or performing the works according to their own interpretation over the course of the exhibition.

Part happening, part conceptual, part minimal, part chaos the outcomes from THESE ARE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS were unpredictable and uncertain.

The opening night was almost riotous!


INSTRUCTORS:

LOU HUBBARD
DYLAN MARTORELL

'THESE ARE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS' was a SEVENTH ARI project curated by Jessica O'Brien, Irene Finkelde and Jonas Ropponen with assistance from Arts Victoria and generous sponsorship from The Workers' Club.

Blasts from the Past...and Present!

So...

If you've been checking our blog and wondering what the hell has been going on at Seventh, now you can finally find out! 

We've been super busy trying to make sure the gallery doesn't fall into the hands of evil property developers, whilst simultaneously trying to extract money from the government and coordinate the new program. Plus we've managed to squeeze in our 10th Birthday Party! There's been a lot going on.

For now, here's an outline of some of the show's we've been having over the past few months.

[Apologies to all our wonderful artists for the time-lapse...]
