Bicycle Beautification
So what are you doing on Sunday?
This weekend is the Interventionist Guide to Melbourne weekend of interventions. The artists will be out and about on the streets creatively intervening with the city. Or as the Craft Cartel blog puts it: an interactive artistic wake-up call to confront all that is predictable and boring in our city.
Initially I was gonna keep mine to sneaking about putting bits and pieces up in strange places for people to find. But I got convinced that it would be much more fun to do something where other people can join in.
So…
The Melbourne Bicycle Beautification Society in association with Radical Cross Stitch and the Interventionist Guide to Melbourne are on a pilgrimage to reward Melbourne’s cyclist for their contribution to leisure, saving the planet, looking good and stopping oil wars.
In an effort to encourage spontaneous and uncontrolled acts of creativity, we invite participants to learn the art of bicycle basket cross stitch.
Materials and instructions will be provided during this casual afternoon of direct action against the pervasive boring of everyday life.
Participants need only turn up to Flinders Lane near the corner of Degraves Lane any time from 2pm until about 4.
This free event is part of the Interventionist Guide to Melbourne intervention weekend. Artists will be out and about from the 17-18th of October encouraging and even inciting random acts of public creativity.
