An art show called ‘Room Service' implies a kind of art-on-demand, like Ricky Swallow turning up at your door with a tray of moulded Darth Vader heads.
This show is totally not going to be like that.
There's a lot to explain. This is a show presented by Melbourne's own fashion label Lenko. They have asked their friends (ie: a goodly bunch of Melbourne artists) to help them put on an exhibition. Like Matt Griffin's Relentless Optimism, it puts one artist in each room on Level 2 at The Carlton Hotel. There are so many artists, we can't list them all, but here are a few picked at random: Tai Snaith, Dan Rule, Isaac Michan, and Carlos Garcia-Noriega Bueno (is that a real person? Wow). The image above is the 'zombie room' by Marc Alperstein and Marc Freeman. Yes, there is a zombie room.
You might want to visit this show twice. The launch is this Thursday from 6pm onwards, but there's also a party on Saturday featuring the much-talked-about but-only-perved-upon-so-far The Process and the deliciously-tight-panted Foxx on Fire. Who needs Ricky with a tray?
