19 ~ 29 May
Opening Saturday 21 May, 2-5pm
Japanese sculptor Takahiko Sugawara has been based in Melbourne since 2012. For Repetitive Nature, his second exhibition with Tinning Street, he will be presenting a major work taking up almost the entire length of the gallery, and wholly made from matchsticks. Sugawara makes use of simple geometric forms, which he repeats en masse to form intricate large-scale sculptures. The organic hand-building of individual structural layers brings an entrancing tactile quality to the otherwise austere sculptures.
These ideas of repetition, form, and discipline are rooted in Sugawara’s teenage years where he was in Japan’s number one high school marching band. The band practised for six hours a day, every day, walking in formation, making lines and shapes whilst playing their instruments . A gap, an empty space, made by a band member’s absence, combined with repetition and the shapes they made, have directly influenced Sugawara’s ideas of form, layering, overlap and repetition.

Applications close Monday 23 May 2016.
We looking for small art projects that are new (have not been seen in public before) and are original (created by the artist or group). These works will be one-off, ephemeral art experiences in public space.
Contributing an idea to Art in Public Spaces is an excellent opportunity for exploring and/or developing a new idea and pushing the boundaries for art making and performance.
The aim is to invigorate public spaces with new artwork; a shopping strip, car park, laneway, swimming pool, local park or even a bus stop – it’s up to you. It could be a contemporary performance, visual art, new-media, writing or a combination of many art forms. We are looking for work that is engaging, accessible and invites contemplation. Think about bringing life to a location that is significant to your community.
