Okay - so forget the old woman who lived in a show. Or maybe don't forget her. Make like her. You don't have to have a bunch of rugrats, but you could imagine yourself getting cozy in this amazing installation by Melbourne graduate Chris Radich.
Chris has taken the concept of being "into" sneaker culture to the hilt. And he's made a shoe that you can literally GET INTO. A super cubby deluxe which he describes as a 'mise-en-abyme' (exhibition within an exhibition).
This artwork-slash-hideout is a hand constructed a 8 metre long,
3 metre (at it's highest point) high sneaker installation that you can
walk into and view the artist's other related work such as canvases and an audio -
visual sample based musical composition piece / animation.
You only have until Sunday to go worship at the alter of Chris's shoe/show - so please do it.
