FAFI at CITYLIGHTS and UNTIL NEVER April 2007

Citylights was conceived with multiple outcomes in mind : To counter gentrification of a precinct in Melbourne long inhabited by artists and facing docklands-style redevelopment on an ongoing basis, and to establish a permanent and highly visible focal point for the CBD arts community. Citylights aims to present art to an audience outside the scope of traditional galleries, as they go about their day in public spaces.

CITYLIGHTS CENTRE PLACE Tourism Victoria Ad April 2006

Citylights also aims to counteract the plethora of public advertising with independent art, whilst utilising a presentation medium that taps into the innate understanding of the language of advertising. Citylights aims to reach a larger audience than is available to traditional indoor-independent art spaces. Citylights specialises in supporting emerging, digital and street based artists. Citylights aims to challenge the commercial and state bureaucratic stranglehold over public space.

ST KILDA FESTIVAL TRAM PROJECT January 2007

And now there is UNTIL NEVER... an indoor gallery located in the heart of Hosier Lane, devoted to representing the finest in Australian and international fine arts, with a focus on art of the streets, movementists, and the people who do that kind of stuff. Until Never was founded in 2005 by Andrew Mac.

Now showing at Citylights Hosier Lane :: NELIO

French street artist Nelio presents digital art and photographic documentation of his street works in the lightboxes of Citylights Hosier Lane.

Hailing from a rural part of France and lacking the urban laneways of a city, Nelio’s favoured canvas are the decayed and crumbling industrial buildings littering the French countryside, abandoned as commerce and workers gravitated towards the larger cities throughout the late 20th century. Nelio’s practise combines graphic design, photography and graffiti, and he is particularly sensitive to the public environments in which he places his idiosyncratic interlinked heads and biomorphic shapes (known as “bonds”). A sense of lost arcadia permeates Nelio’s poetic documentation of his aerosol art, painted onto faded and broken walls amongst creepers and foliage that reclaim the buildings as floors and roofs give way to the elements. His photography distils the atmosphere and transports the viewer to the original space in which his work is placed. Nelio has become a mainstay on the local scene during his sojourn, collaborating with many artists, and Citylights is proud to present his first solo exhibition in Australia.
