While on an Eastern European adventure in 2005 I noticed street hawkers selling their wares from suitcases. I immediately saw the potential in this format as an effective way of showing artwork. It is portable, cheap, and accessible. Its public location allows the artist a more direct contact with his audience than conventional art spaces. The show traveled to three locations around Melbourne on consecutive Sundays. I’m looking to tour this show internationally so please contact me if you’re interested in helping out.
