When I saw this hanging object made from used container at The Substation, it instantly reminded me of Bruno Munari's Useless Machine, and I thought hm someone's probably having the same read as I do. Remember when I said I'm going to volunteer? So here it is. One of the shifts I got was at the opening night. Heaps of people, around 350 they said, filled the ex-warehouse turned to a community art space in the western part of Melbourne which hasn't been exploited much for the art scene before. Girls came in pixie cut. They don't give a fuss about make up; you ain't suppose to be pretty I guess. Jeans weren't popular back then, if you know what I mean. Through my findings, I found that there weren't many designers, maybe yes it is an artists' clique and art is one damn fine area that you can be so independent, so brave. Even condoms are considered as a work of art. Apparently I got rostered here for all of my shifts, maybe they're matching interests with the shifts because it's such an industrial playground, hehe but I do love it here. It's the Fringe Furniture as a part of the Fringe Festival of course - the celebration of independent art. Here you can see all things happy about furniture, how people are so innovative, so intuitive, so brave to answer the brief of this year's theme: The city has a face, the country has a soul.Lovely spoons eh?This got to be my favorite piece, the Spun Stool.Felted PET - new things I've just discovered here. I must say my shifts here are the most enjoyable so far. I met so many nice people who either were just passing by or willing to talk more about design and other random things hehe. Love to do more shifts for Fringe :) So come come if you got free times, get me and we'll grab a drink or two I got volunteer discount ID haha, and let's roll to the Fringe Festival!
