COUCH

Inspired by the prevalence of couch-surfing, homelessness and the general marginalisation of youth in our community, couches will be randomly placed in

Launceston's streets, inviting passersby to sit, watch and write in the notebooks provided.

Couch will also include an outdoor sculptural "lounge" installation in the centre of Launceston, which will be transformed into a performance venue for hip hop, parlour and acrobatics by local youth with Barking Owl Theatre and Unqualified during our Festival and Junction Arts Festival.

Sites: Mall, City Park - entry, Inveresk, Civic Square, Princess Square· ·
Produced by Junction 2010,
Artist Helen Kelly
