Treasure Hunters flyer from Project Contemporary Artspace
Treasure Hunters was an entertaining, humourous and delightfully quirky exhibition which I had the pleasure to immerse myself in last Sunday – the show’s last day of viewing at Project Contemporary Artspace. Dusting off and displaying in public the diverse, intricate collections of an interesting group of artists, this exhibition transformed the friendly little Wollongong gallery into an endearingly odd cabinet of curiosities.
Here are some images of the show:

Political Poster collection from the late 1960’s, 70’s & 80’s, including work from Redback Graphics, Earthworks, Matilda Graphics, Harrodin Press & Tin Sheds, covering topics from anti conscription, anti war, anti capitalism, anti uranium, trade unions, International Women’s Day, Reclaim the Night, Wimmins Dances, Women’s Liberation and Lesbian Balls
To end a thought provoking day and make the most of the warm, pastel-skied evening, a walk along a local beach, greeting carpet snake-weilding fishers and slipping into rock-pools with a fellow artist and friend, was really refreshing.

Inspired, Hannah decided to start a collection of her own – so far including a smooth seashell, an asteroid-like rock and a wibbly-wobbly fish lure fittingly named Rod…….
