Juddy Roller teamed up with Melbourne’s biggest artists to create a “socially distanced” “Artcade” in the heart of Melbourne. The likes of ​Rekko Rennie​, ​Rone​, ​Adnate​, ​Lisa King​, ​George Rose​, ​John Aslanidis​, ​Caleb Wamlsey (Mayonaise)​, and ​Meggs​, have all created immersive art installations designed to be viewed through the massive windows of the brand new retail shops located on the ground floor of a major new development, ​West Side Place​, located at ​250 Spencer St​, which is launching to the public on ​20th July 2020​. Think Myers Christmas windows on steroids, and created by Melbourne’s top Urban and Contemporary artists​,​ and not just window displays, but entire shops. With the retail precinct being entirely dedicated to art, the project is a welcome beacon for the arts industry, which was swiftly decimated with the arrival of covid-19, with most traditional galleries forced to shut their doors. ​Far East Consortium​, in conjunction with ​Juddy Roller​, are exploring what the term “art gallery” could mean in a post COVID world.
