the Space Between

Reading Room Project
…the Space Between…

A project for the heart of Gosford’s CBD by Brown’s Cows Art Projects.


In the week beginning the 12th of February, 2007, an assortment of L.E.D. moving text messages will be displayed in selected shop-front windows in Mann Street (between Erina and William Streets), Gosford, NSW.

The messages have been devised by artists in Gosford, with contributions from Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Canada and Korea.

A short dance-tableau “The space Between Words” will occur one evening inside a shop widow, with improvised activities perhaps occurring elsewhere in the street. [This will be recorded for later presentation and is not intended as a public performance. It is part of a series of events, “@ the Still Point”, funded in part by the Korean Cultural Foundation.]

Mann Street is a local site of constructed and contested meaning. …the Space Between…is a project playing with different ways of thinking about public (commons) space, art and language. Locally articulated, globally reticulated.

The project will be fully documented and given press coverage as well as website distribution. A DVD of the week’s activities will be produced.

Profiles of some of the artists will be posted when they are received.
