About the Artists
June 3, 2008
This project is a first-time collaboration between interdisciplinary artist duo Makeshift (Tessa Rapaport & Karl Logge), who have recently produced work for festivals such as Shifting Ground, This Is Not Art and Next Wave; and Nobody (Diego Bonetto), a creator of the Redfern-Waterloo Tour Of Beauty and the ongoing Weed Tours. We have been interested in working together as a team since last year’s Art in the Park: Cross-pollinations, an exhibition of temporary public art curated by Makeshift and featuring work by Nobody. Our work intersects in its concern with the relationships between people and their ‘natural’ and urban environments, and the capacity for public places to become catalysts for dialogue and exchange. Being locals who have watched the area around CarriageWorks change over time, we were intrigued by the possibility of scratching the surface of this site to reveal something of its past or less visible lives.
