Video & Snapshots – Matt Adnate Paint Up – Hosier Lane

Check out this great video by Michael Danischewski and awesome shots from David Russell documenting Hosier Inc’s inaugural “Paint UP” project, featuring Adnate. The project was called Paint UP; a simple play on words; extending access to artists to the untouched walls (which have never before been painted) above ground level in Hosier and Rutledge lanes.

Hosier Inc is a not for profit community association made up of anyone that loves Hosier and Rutledge Lanes, the community, residents, local businesses, and artists themselves , which was initially formed in order to oppose the installation of CCTV cameras in the laneways.

From Hosier Inc: “Six artists were invited by Hosier Inc to submit a concept for a large-scale image to be painted on the rear of McDonald House in Hosier Lane. The successful proposal was to demonstrate a rationale and a design that showed an affinity with the location of the wall & building… Members voted and selected Adnate’s submission”. (For more information on the project check out the Hosier and Rutledge lanes blog and the vimeo page).

Adnate’s submission was a portrait of a local indigenous boy gazing across the city towards Birrarung Marr which is a sacred space for the Wurundjeri people.

If you’re an artist and interested in submitting for Round 2 of Paint UP, send the Inc an email to express your interest (you’ll find the address on their blog)”
