The Art Takeaway! is an interactive production where audience members choose from a menu of original art. A distinctive selection of art pieces have been created by a wide variety of artists. Each work fits in a takeaway box and audience members who elect to take part in the performance go home with their piece of art at the end of the evening.

Katrin took up the challenge acquired the Oxford Collection (#0635-0643).

Museum of Contemporary Rubbish in Melbourne
The Melbourne City Guide: The Thousands
Chris Rainier, ‘((space echo))’ and Alice Bradshaw, ‘Museum of Contemporary Rubbish’ exhibition openings
Screen Space, 30 Guildford Lane, Melbourne
by Thomas Blatchford
Two new shows opening at Screen Space, one completely sublime, and the other completely rubbish. But purposefully, you understand. The first, in the main gallery, is by Chris Rainier, the sound artist and sonic experimentator whose idea of heavy metal is looping the heck out of a lap steel guitar (ah, God’s own instrument). ((space echo)), however, will also feature a 16mm film of a Space Echo, which presumably refers to a Roland RE-201, but could also be an actual sound reflection from the depths of the unknown universe, I suppose. You know what these multimedia types are like. This exhibit runs until May 5.
The other exhibit is Alice Bradshaw’s photographic catalogue of shite, The Museum of Contemporary Rubbish. As a collector and cataloguer of discarded objects, Bradshaw has done more routing in bins than News International and wants to show you what she’s found. You can think of it as a critique of modern art if you like – that what you’re looking at might as well be out of a bin – but it’s nicer to think of it as the ultimate upcycling show. By putting this junk on display, MoCR demonstrates that every banana skin, broken pen, used johnny and yellowing receipt has a story behind it worth pondering. The collection is on display until May 26 – postcards available in the gift ship.
