art collabs in a hand-made nomadic home

I have a brilliant team of people helping me make this project amazing, and they deserve pay. They are professional designers, photographers, and artists. Your money will go towards their futures, and will also go towards the grr project. More resources for the team means that the project is better designed, documented, and run. Everybody will have much joy in their pockets.

These funds will go towards turning the Grr into a supportive literary space. I will continue to run monthly literary salons such as Kiss the Pages. I will collaborate with local writers to run workshops, as well as book launches, and poetry nights. I will also organise short-term co-residencies and co-labs with local writers. Magic words will happen.

I will turn the Grr into a salon-style exhibition space, and use these funds to develop a nomadic visual arts program. These would involve redesigning the space to better accommodate the display of artwork, acquiring objects (podiums, hanging equipment, and lighting), and developing visual and online communication to better market the artwork. The program's focus will be on both giving new life to artworks that have previously been exhibited, and on exhibiting ephemeral artworks made specifically for this unique nomadic space. New and emerging artists will be given preference, but all artists would be welcome to collaborate.

I understand that this is audacious. Part of what makes me excited about this, and about the project in general, is that it embodies a willingness to prove the dictum that "If we can do this with nothing, then we can do this with everything." That is the magic of this, and that is what I want to share with you.

With regards to all objects, I am going to negotiate with local residents of Perth so that these items may be time-shared. In keeping with the project goals of reducing the amount of waste and building supportive networks with local communities. So the investments that are made into grr will feed back into the creative community of Perth.

The grr would become a part-time theatre space. It would be called Flower. It would have both an indoor and outdoor stage. The funds would go towards a PA system, digital projector, and lighting, as well as other basic necessities of the stage. Flower will obviously favour theatre shows that are more mobile, with minimal set design, but will still be open to proposals from all theatre companies. Flower will also feature local music nights.

Again, with regards to all objects, I am going to negotiate with local residents of Perth so that these items may be time-shared. In keeping with the project goals of reducing the amount of waste and building supportive networks with local communities. So the investments that are made into grr will feed back into the creative community of Perth.
