Taking its cue from the 'happenings' of the 1960s and 70s, the Wednesday Project is a dynamic and innovative creative forum which roams the spaces of Guildford Lane Gallery every Wednesday night. Fostering ideas of collaboration and interaction, The Wednesday Project exists as a series of free, artist-run or curated sessions, asking artists to push the boundaries of genre and medium and allow the audience to witness and interact with the process over a period of time. Nights can involve anything from insight or commentary into the artistic process, performance, soundscapes, workshops, critical talks or discussions, screenings and beyond.

Wednesday, November 26 2008 marks the first ever Wednesday Project free artist performances. Curated by Brisbane media artist Tom Hall, INTWINED spans three Wednesday in a row and features a huge line-up of visual, media, sound and performance artists such as Robin Fox (Yokohama Triennale, Melbourne Festival and Sounds Outback festival in WA.), Bonnie Mercer of the Grey Daturas and Tom Hall himself (Nasic Square Gallery, Open Frame Festival, Otherfilm Festival, Perth International Arts Festival) amongst many others. Extreme adventurers who combine themes of improvisation, experimentation, collaboration, science, contemporary theatre and other visceral elements drawn from everyday music, life, culture and art, these artist place an importance on new discoveries and will challenge you to see, hear and exist within art in an entirely different way.

The November 26 Wednesday Project opening also opens the 2nd floor warehouse space of Guildford Lane Gallery as a dedicated performance venue. This entire warehouse floor-space is dedicated to ongoing performance and interactive art projects such as the Wednesday Project.

Come and see it transformed for this inaugural opening artist project at Guildford Lane Gallery on November 26, December 3 and December 10.

Doors open 6.30pm, performance @ 7pm.
