On Saturday the 25th of June, 2005, a 200-strong crowed fronted the cold and wet weather and headed for Liverpool Lane, where seventeen emerging and established artists exhibited their works on the walls alongside the alley.
The night came alive with the glow of the street lights over the artworks and the ecclectic sounds of Manray with new band memebr 'Russel' - their new Saxophonist.
A very emphermeral exhibition had works lasting overnight as a result of impressed passers-by and extremely wet weather. The photographs and the experience, which was a very Melbourne-esque one, weather and all, was indeed not only a fun one but something we look forward to having again.
Thank-you to the residents near and on Liverpool Lane for their liberal approach in allowing us to use their walls. Also thanks to City of Sydney Police, for smiling and not asking questions.
Special thanks to Rory and Lianda for letting us into their house and allowing us the use of their facilities. Also, thanks to Manray for filling the lane with such beautiful sound and to Milka Ordonez and all those that were involved in the exhibition and set-up.
