Here are a few photos from my shoot at the Open House exhibition -an annual event in the Nicholas building where people open up their studios and display their art to the flock of people that trek up and down the stairs in this iconic Melbourne building. The atmosphere was electric and the art displayed was all entirely original and fantastically made - all by hand here in Melbourne in their Nicholas building studios. There was also a 'new world' in one of the studios, where you needed a visa to get in... The people (both artists and eager visitors) made it a really interesting and energising night - even if we were lugging our camera gear up and down the old staircases and close-the-door-yourself rusty lifts to see who we could interview next! It's a great building, with a great vibe and anyone interested in art, jewellery, books or any aspect of being alive- should really check out this next year. It was great to see a building full of artists and dreamers who had not been extradicted out of the city to produce their work in secret and 'more affordable' places that rich folk dont want to live in...yet.
Have a look at this blog for info - and this is also where our promo video will be posted to soon.
