FIX was developed for ‘There’s a Hole in the Bucket’, curated by Spiros Panigirakis, CLUBSproject Inc., Fitzroy.
FIX consisted of a repair counter installed at CLUBSproject Inc. manned by a team of enthusiastic volunteers (Carly Fischer, Jophes Fleming, Starlie Giekie, Susan Jacobs, Marcus Keating and myself). The FIX team accepted objects for repair from exhibition visitors. People leaving objects for repair were required to sign a consent form, giving FIX the authority to perform the modifications as they saw fit – emphasis was placed on the modification of the object rather than its restoration to an original condition. Objects ‘fixed’ included an IKEA foot stool, a MatchBox car, and a desk lamp.
