surry hills lib. day 2. 

forbes st. day 4.

I guess it was posted more visible area of the street. The poster was getting ripped just in 4 hours! Also didn’t expected people to leave the strips hanging like this - this is looking better than what I originally imagined. Keep ripping guys. 

Day 1, 2 and 3!

The 30 invitation envelops were all gone by the first day. So the invitation letter was put up near the poster to explain to anyone who’d be still interested in participating. 

The poster was getting filled up day by day, it is interesting to see how people took few days to respond as well. 

Here’s some interesting bits: 

Happy to see some people actually have collaborated - note the different colour markers and sticker flower! 

Also happy to mention people who gladly posted their own piece of art. 

Will keep posting how it evolves. 

The second poster, ‘RIP poster’ asks the viewer to tear the poster up - as it does get so at the end of its life as a part of ‘cleaning program’. The poster is designed with several layers giving plenty of room for a viewer to have fun tearing the poster up. 

The first ‘RIP poster’ was up on oxford st. near tylor sq, however got covered by other posters too soon. Two new ones are up on forbe st near tylor sq and on crown st near surry hills library.

The first poster - this is our space to complete is up now. 

This 12 x A4 incomplete poster asks viewers to collaborate and complete the poster and answer the question: what should the poster communicate in public space? Alongside with the poster there were 30 invitations, which includes little tool kit to help people answer the question.

You can check how the poster evolves in next few days here.

Please feel free to leave your comments, especially if you have participated(thanks!). I’d love to hear what your thoughts were. 

Poster: More than a Gaze aims to examine the potential of the poster 

as a ‘public and communicative’(Ansell & Thrope 1984) medium in a public space.
