Wardlow is in a warehouse in Fitzroy, Melbourne and is 2 minutes from the city.

This exhibition explores the transient visual landscape associated with marginalised communities. It exposes the subversive realm with particular insight into the notion of identity, authenticity, appropriation and recontextualisation. The resulting body of work is relevant to our understanding of the effects of cultural pressure and social change and will provide a lasting chronicle of aspects of deviant behaviour and urban life in the marrickville area. The photographs though devoid of people, are not barren. Shop fronts, mannequins, streets, abandoned buildings; back alleys, graffiti and industrial sites come to life. The images reveal that as individuals, cultures and communities we mirror each other on many different levels. As a result the work is layered, voyeuristic and reflective. This artist is primarily concerned with the increasingly bland urbanisation of our city landscapes and the characterless investment apartments and property developments that are over running them. On one level this work is an attempt to capture our architectural heritage before it is forever lost. It is where the beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder. Edwards is interested in where these places led us to in our hearts and minds (not our bank balances). She believes that as a society we are being conned into believing that the future is all about cultural hegemony, conformity and normalisation.
Samantha Edwards’s professional background has had a profound impact on this collection. She is an artist, archaeologist, lecturer, masters candidate and graphic designer. The artist lectures in design and visual branding, in the School of Communication Arts, University of Western Sydney. She lives in Katoomba, NSW, with her fiance Michael and their little dog ‘piglet’. The artist has exhibited her work in a national and international arena. This collection is part of a travelling exhibition which first opened at Parsons School of Design, Paris in November 2004. This event was promoted by the Australian Embassy in Paris as part of the Mois de la Photo. Edwards has been published in Empty Magazine, Inside, B/W Photography and Australian Creative. The artist is represented by in Paris by Galerie Emotion, 93 rue Vieille du Temple, Paris.

with opening night performances by Brian Fuata, Agatha Goethe-Snape, The Fondue Set
This is a Christmas Show. It is nothing more, nor less. It is a decoration overload, a drunken dance with an older aunt, a hot lounge room full of kids pumped on sweets, expensive toys and melted ice blocks, an awkward conversation between indifferent cousins about how their lives in the past year spent in the office, the backyard, the football field, the P.T.A meeting has culminated to a joyous festivity around the carcass of some barbequed animal or skewered crustacean, it is the grand reveal of a newborn child or a nephew’s growing teeth, a grandfather’s exposition over betting on the horses. It is a dry mouth, a full stomach, a tipsy head, a loud burp, a randy hand, a holy birth, a bin full of wrapping paper, a loose leg carving up the dance floor and a series of empty purses.
Christmas is the time for family. If we take the idea of the family to be a primary source where the idea of our selves are formed, where behaviours are assimilated under the rigmarole of the everyday and familiar, then Christmas essentially becomes a time where these banalities are ritualised and heightened and then, celebrated for that basic reason. This season of holiday has evolved into a phenomena of the banal, an ironically spectacular festival where the familial stricture to love each other is made more self-conscious with the co modification of present giving and reception, the obligation to “have fun with each other”, all under the guise of a redundant Judaeo-Christian pagan belief.
The probabilities for dysfunction and failure are rife, the chances of fun, even more so. Christmas is a festival of schadenfreude. We, of the Christmas Special committee wish to invite you to our family Christmas. MOP is going to be transformed into a commune of Christmas cheer, the main gallery, our place of hearth. Come experience and enjoy as the artists drink a bit too much egg nog, over-stuff the Christmas stocking, stuff up the dinner Turkey, choke on tinsel all whilst singing a merry ole carol around someone’s organ. All of the artists in this exhibition will be making new work installed to create an overall environment of cheer, randomness, thought, depression, activism, and excitement. The exhibition space will also be extended to include the elevator and possibly the foyer where the drinks are served. There’ll even be an intervention of philanthropy. Thinking it would be a great time to give back to the community around the local area, we plan to have a “Christmas Conscious tree” where we will ask visitors to bring a gourmet can of food to place under the tree that we will give back to the greater community
