As part of their ongoing effort to bring art and culture to the new precinct, developer Far East Consortium Australia have partnered with us, Juddy Roller, and some of your favourite local legends to facilitate the transformation of West Side Place arcade in the CBD – creating an immersive public art gallery that is set to bring a new wave of visitors back to the city centre in a COVID safe, socially distanced way.

The series of installations are currently inhabiting spaces destined for future shops, cafes and restaurants which could not come at a better time as both retail and the arts have both had major setbacks this year as a consequence of the pandemic. Juddy Rollers Director Shaun Hossack, says “By filling these retail spaces with the best of Australian art we hope to breathe new life into Melbourne’s CBD and give people a reason to come back to our vibrant city.”

Nestled between the impressive installations is concept café Merriment, which offers speciality coffee from the team behind Common Place. Designed by artist Lisa King and constructed and built to life by the Juddy Roller team, a renaissance inspired ode to female artists takes pride of place above the café, alongside a huge ‘Art is Life’ neon installation – voicing a message that resounds through all of the artcade’s works.

One of the largest mixed-use developments in Melbourne, West Side Place will also encompass luxury hotel, Ritz-Carlton. With a long history of supporting the arts in Melbourne’s CBD, Far East Consortium is a champion of cultural placemaking, and this site heralds the birth of a significant new contemporary art precinct in the city.

“The project was initiated pre-covid with the aim of giving new residents a sense of community, and by far the most rewarding part of bringing it to life has been seeing the precinct start to hum with happy residents,” said Far East Consortium. “It couldn’t have come at a better time – Melbournians need something to look forward to and the introduction of the West Side Place precinct will bring to Melbourne a reminder of all the wonderful reasons to visit the CBD.”

West Side Places’ Public Gallery is open from Friday the 13th of November, 2020. Located at 250 Spencer Street, Melbourne (Opposite Southern Cross Station) See ya there!

Lascelles Silo Art Trail – Rone

The Silo Art Trail is quickly gaining national and international fame as the fifth instalment of the mesmerising trail has been completed; this time by world renowned artist Rone. The Lascelles Silo stands proud at over 30 meters tall within the rural Victorian countryside and to say these are large in scale is definitely an understatement.

Rone’s mural depicts the faces of long term Lascelles couple, Geoff and Merrilyn Horman, whose families have lived and farmed in the Lascelles area for an astounding four generations. Born in the district, the couple married in Lascelles in 1967 and together with their two sons (and their own families) have continued the family traditions of wheat farming, hard yakka and strong community involvement.

Collingwood Power Station

With the support of CitiPower Powercor, The Neighbourhood Justice Centre and City of Yarra, Juddy Roller transformed the Collingwood power substation at the corner of Easey Street and Wellington Street into one of Melbourne’s most iconic pieces of public art.

The graffiti treatment was a collaboration between some of the most sought after and influential contemporary street artists including Rone, Adnate, Mayo, Guido Van Helton and Askew. The monochromatic artwork was carefully curated, balancing community aesthetic and implementing subtle graffiti deterring features. Background and portraits by Askew, script by Mayo and photo realistic portraits by Rone, Guido and Adnate.

The power station is an stand-out example of how street art and graffiti aesthetics can be combined to create a lasting, positive impression on the community whilst having a strong anti graffiti and impact.e9
