Taking place for one epic night only, RUMBLESTRIP transforms a large disused urban lot at Pier Street, Northbridge into a riotous post-apocalyptic, Mad-Max-style urban habitat.
Conceived by Neil Aldum, Erin Coates and Simone Johnston, RUMBLESTRIP presents a future derived from the remnants of modern life, restructuring the nature of urban play and celebrating the world’s most demographically isolated city.
Featuring new collaborative works by eight acclaimed Australian artists – Neil Aldum, Erin Coates, Loren Holmes, Stuart James, Snapcat, Shaun Gladwell and Simone Johnston – RUMBLESTRIP integrates sound, mobile sculpture, video installation and performance work. The exhibition draws on the artists’ pre-occupations with architecture, urban development, roadside signage and Australian cult cinema.
RUMBLESTRIP re-purposes, cannibalises and mutates found and recycled industrial materials. “We’ve built from what has fallen apart or succumbed to obsolescence to suggest a different possible future”, says artist Erin Coates.
The works draw on the artists’ preoccupations with informal and temporary architecture, car-orientated development, urban heat island effect, roadside signage and Australian cult cinema.
