Where&What

Overview

What is it about looking at the stuff of artists we admire? Coloured pens take on a new significance. A picture frame hanging askew on a wall suddenly requires close scrutiny. The sight of paint soaked rags tossed onto a beat-up desk make you sigh a little. Maybe it's because it sets the creative fires burning, prompting a chorus of 'I really need to get off my butt!' Or perhaps it's a healthy dose of the green-eyed monster. Mostly though, it's the sense that you can somehow absorb some of the creative magic purely through osmosis (and you can probably slap a dash of plain old voyeurism in there, too).

Paul Barbera has stepped in with his lens to capture artists’ spaces such as Alpha60, Monster Children, Lucy Mcrae, Paul Davies, Lucy McRae, Collider and more with his book Where They Create. To celebrate, the Where&What exhibition will be displaying images from the series along with works from the book’s featured artists, at retailers including Incu Mens, Incu Womens, Alpha60 and Books Kinokuniya. Now you can wander around and have a good look, without even having to get the binoculars out. Let the juices flow.
