In and Out

Overview

When most people think of the St Kilda Festival, the first thing that comes to mind is music. Well, maybe that and beers on the beach. Either way, most people are so pre-occupied they all-together forget about the art. But when an exhibition centres itself on the inner workings of the human body and features illustrative paintings of Tony Abbott's constipated face, people are bound to take notice.

In and Out is the latest group endeavour from Project Q.U.A.D. (Quick and Dirty), a local art initiative run by Madeline Sharrock and Stephanie Pirrie. This playful and kooky exhibition seeks to explore the functions of the human body and features the work of ACAB Collective, Emma Barrett, Leon Buynevic, Colby Cannon, Ben Carollo, Nathan Ceddia, Mimi Leung (pictured), Ilya Milstein, Rachel Prince, Isobel Stuart and Sukoe, with Eric Demetriou and Jacqui Moore also performing.

The In and Out launch party will feature live music, performances, installations, and dancing. It will coincide with Festival Sunday of the St Kilda Festival (February 9) from 12pm-9pm.
