³Sneak Pre-view² Student Exhibition ­ open till 17 November 2008
 
First year advertising, graphic design, photo media and visual arts students
from the Australian Academy of Design¹s Bachelor of Design Arts course are
holding the first public exhibition of their work at the Academy¹s Clement
Meadmore gallery.
 
The exhibition of sneakers designed, made and customised by the students
features angels, soldiers, a sneaker house reminiscent of Œthe old woman who
lived in a shoe¹, a giant burnt corpse sneaker complete with digital
presentation of the process.
 
Curator and lecturer Michelle Mantsio explains:
³Given the social history of sneakers and their burgeoning implementation as
style and status icons, students were asked to design, create or customise
sneakers. As you look through the exhibition of sneakers, posters, clothing,
videos, installations and books students have created, hopefully you will
begin to imagine how this emerging generation will customise a contemporary
view of reality. A sneak preview of things to come...²
 
The exhibition is open to the public 9am-5pm Mon-Fri till 17 November
