Fashion Week: Insert Coin Here
There's a buzz around Insert Coin Here a group exhibition held in two vending machines roving the streets of Melbourne. Curated by Nella Themelios and Kim Brockett, this show sees 'fashion objects' by over 60 artists and designers - including Dylan Martorell, Sarah McNeil and Jarrod Zlatic - dispensed randomly to the public for $2 a pop.
So far the vending machines have appeared at Craft Victoria and at Captains of Industry with the fash-objects at both locations selling out in a matter of hours. The official launch, held at 1000 £ Bend, saw the vending machines again sitting empty - or at least they were empty by the time I got there. On the whole fashion at the launch was restrained but the key to the event was accessories or fashion objects some of which appeared to have popped straight out of the vending machines and into people’s outfits.
Next stop for the (refilled) vending machines will be Alice Euphemia in Cathedral Arcade where they'll sit from Sunday 14th March for a week - but you'd be silly to expect their delicious little trinkets to stay put for that long. Your last opportunity to pull something special from the machines will be The Thousands Shop in Curtain House from Monday the 22nd March to Wednesday 31st March. Don't miss out. BYO $2 coin.
