The art project FIX is currently underway at CLUBSproject inc. until Friday 18th June. The project is part of the There’s a Hole in the Bucket exhibition curated by Spiros Panigirakis. FIX also forms part of my masters research and consists of a repair counter installed at CLUBS and a team of enthusiastic volunteers (Carly Fischer, Jophes Fleming, Starlie Giekie, Susan Jacobs, Marcus Keating and myself). The FIX team will accept problems for repair from CLUBS visitors. The problems may be of any nature but the focus for my masters project will be the repair of objects. Emphasis will be placed on the modification of the object rather than the restoration of it to an original condition.
People leaving objects for repair are required to sign a consent form, giving FIX the authority to perform the modifications as they see fit. As an initial exploration into modding practices, this project hopes to engage a diverse range of objects and modifications in a short fixed period of time.
CLUBSproject inc. is located above the Builders Arms Hotel at 211 Gertrude St. Fitzroy, Melbourne. Enter behind the Builders Arms, turn left into the first small lane off Gore St., through the white/green gate and up the stairs.
Gallery Hours are Wed. – Sun. (except Fri.) 12-6 p.m. with a special closing sausage sizzle on Fri. 18th June.
