Carly Preston on Connex
Look out for Carly Preston next time you catch a train. As part of the Moving Galleries' 2009 Transformation exhibition Preston's work Paper Wall 2008 will be appearing on Connex trains for the next 6 months. Launched on Wednesday 17 July, at Flinders Street Station, the exhibition showcases art projects that have transformed everyday spaces in and around Melbourne.
Artists and poets attended the opening event and were able to view their work on the walls of the carriages. Rob Hudson, Parliamentary Secretary for the Arts officially opened the exhibition which can be viewed online: http://movinggalleries.org
"More than 350,000 people everyday have the opportunity to enjoy these works. The average journey time is around half an hour so there should be ample opportunity to peruse some poetry, reflect on some art, and consider its meaning" said Bruce Hughes, Connex Deputy Chairman.
Jessie Doring, Moving Galleries Project Manager said, "The exhibition is a celebration of the collaborative process between Victoria's artists, the arts organisations and festivals, such as Next Wave, who work to platform artists and, of course, the photographers who have worked to document the projects.
