A show for the Brunswick Street faithful.

Overview

Red Gallery is nestled within North Fitzroy's other many galleries and eateries and has a track record of showcasing emerging artists up against established art-world names. The upcoming exhibition, Portraits of the Inner North, by Pesky (aka Caitlin Murray) is about the facades that surround the gallery and the architectural evolution that has created them.

Pesky has taken her love of the ever-changing street landscape of Melbourne's effortlessly cool north and created a series of digitally manipulated abstract photographs. These new works have a strong relationship with advertising, billboard culture and plays on the culture clash between new and old in gentrified neighbourhoods. If you remember what Smith or Brunswick Streets looked like ten years ago, then this is the place for you.
