SPI Vehicle in town.

On Friday the 16th and Saturday the 17th of November, Sydney based artist Astra Howard will be bringing her SPI Vehicle to Gosford city centre. Astra regards her artwork as action-research. She mostly works in public places where she can engage in “conversation” with people about things of interest to them.
So if you see Astra in her mobile SPI Vehicle, she will be very pleased if you come over for a closer look, and exchange some thoughts.

Watch for Astra and the SPI Vehicle in Kibble park, William Street and Mann Street.

Astra is regarded as one of the interesting emerging artists in Australia. She has worked in major urban centres in Australia and overseas, and also worked extensively with homeless people and other marginalised communities. She has adopted a social science methodology in her art practice with a goal of calling for greater recognition of the dynamic and interactive relationship formed between individuals and external urban environments – collectively envisioning a vibrant and vital public space.

Astra Howard’s SPI Vehicle is part of “Click Here”, a series of art projects organised for the Gosford City centre by Brown’s Cows Art Projects together with GAFF (Gosford Art Flux Forum). It is supported in part by a cultural grant from Gosford City Council.
