19 March 2009 - 24 April 2009

Venue: Arts Project Australia
Opening: 18 March 2009

'Location Location Location!' encompasses themes and concepts surrounding architecture, interiors, the urban and suburban. Works from a wide range of mediums-2D, 3D and animation- explore the built environment and the way we inhabit it.

A number of these works investigate the local and often immediate Northcote environment, celebrating the iconic weatherboard house in its various stages of development and decay.

Immaculate attention to detail and a celebration of materiality are engendered in the works of Chris Mason and Chris O'Brien, the latter of whose 'houses' are the starting point for intricate narratives, bold characters and social commentary.

Artist(s): Chris Mason and Chris O'Brien. Other participating artists are Erica Berechree, Nick Capaldo, Paul Hodges, Miles Howard-Wilks, Simon Madaffari, Toby Matheson, Jodie Noble, Lisa Reid, Catherine Staughton and Terry Williams.
