Public Assembly and Team Vespertine

PROJECT: PERFORATION 245

The wall that runs along 245 Wilson Redfern acts as a physical and symbolic barrier between the local residents and the recently opened arts hub Carriageworks. Perforation 245 seeks to disrupt this divide. By using light projections and sound, surveillance technologies and radio frequencies this project creates a dialogue and interface between inside and out, Carriageworks and local residents, past and present.

The project is collaboration between Public Assembly and Team Vespertine. Pinging back and forth between Melbourne and Sydney, their paths have most recently collided and they now share a Sydney headquarters on Wilson St. As residents of the local area and as artists having participated in last year’s Underbelly Lab, they are in a unique position to explore the history and issues of the local area. The lab also presents an opportunity to experiment with new, found and makeshift technologies.

About the Artists
Team Vespertine are Perran Costi, Clare Holland and Edward Horne - three individuals who have gradually come to accept that they are addicted to the concept of the spectacle.
Public Assembly is the creative collaboration between Lynda Roberts and Ceri Hann. Their work establishes robust frameworks (curation, installation, workshops) that encourage a range of temporal engagements within the public realm.
