Pee in a Wetsuit or Take a Long Hot Spa will transform Chrissie Cotter Gallery into a performance space. Bringing together visual and performance artists, musicians, writers and members of the community explore a ‘shared zone’ between creative disciplines. Often using drawing implements constructed from discarded material found in the Inner West and surrounding suburbs.
Alongside scheduled performances, drawing tools, drawings made from these utensils and other artwork created from discarded material will be exhibited throughout the gallery.
Gallery is open weekdays from 8.30am – 4pm and Saturdays 11am – 4pm.

It All Adds Up is a work in progress that will be exhibited at Articulate Turns Eight Exhibition. This work is made from discarded bits of string, ribbon, rope, twine and shoelaces collected from alleys, streets, parks as well as from household stashes of similar material.
If you would like to contribute to It All Adds Up there will be an area near artwork to leave your donation. Along with contributions, stories related to donations are welcome.
This project is well over halfway and continued contributions needed.

Drawn from the Discarded is a collection of drawing tools predominately constructed from urban waste from Newtown and surrounding suburbs. The intention behind making these tools was initially born as a way to connect with the environment, to find new ways to make marks when drawing and give new life to the discarded.
The story behind Jody Graham’s salvaging behaviour is a creative response to the artist belief system that an excess of new and more can impoverish the human spirit. Attention and care in the arrangement of these implements has been used to assist in elevating their status from waste into art objects.
