Gertrude Street will once again be transformed into a free outdoor gallery.

Now in its third year, the Projection Festival is this year themed ‘Me. You. Us.’ – encouraging us all to think about our relationship with ourselves and our community, and our effect on the world.

The festival program includes a building-sized interactive digital projection by the Festival’s feature artist, Kit Webster, as well as entries from community groups and emerging artists.

Co Directors of the 2010 Projection Festival, Monique McNamara and Kym Ortenburg invites everyone to visit Gertrude Street “we want everyone to come and join us and visit Gertrude St after dark!”

The One-two-One studio at RMIT University, School of Architecture and Design proposed to bridge the gap between London and Melbourne with “twin” installations constructed from recycled laminate sheets. The projects were designed for sites in Bankside, London and central Melbourne. Laminate sheet material, a mass-produced paper-based product, is highly discarded each year for reasons unrelated to performance but due to shifts in consumer preference, manufacturing processes or surface appearance.
