Four vacant buildings, Sydney
The Rocks Pop Up Project has been going for a while already, but a few months in you'll find it has a few new ideas in season for your delectation. A lot of the current action centres around the Red Room Company, who have set up what really is an underground den of poetry under 77 George Street in the form of its Club House. An installation by their new artist in residence will be in situ: The Forensic Heart is about loss and drawn from poems by Emily Bitto and Emily Simpson. Artist Donna Page will be hauting the space weekends. Gaffa's Pop-Up, meanwhile, is restaging Tim Andrew's blood-soaked Big Deal, along with his Horseradish-like Thousand Yard Stare.
