David Withers & Lachlan Anthony – Make Yourself at Home
We’ve heard this is meant to be a pretty cool show.

“A piquant show of installation, sculpture and photography that interrogates artefacts which fill domestic and urban fields of contemporary experience. Reconfiguring the scale, location and state; of furniture, clothing and products, affects an uncanny climate in which the audience is asked to re-think the significance and potentiality of previously understood objects. Whilst humorous at first encounter, upon closer engagement these surreal reconfigurations intimate a more malevolent undertow.”
(From Edwina S)
