Separately Together brings together (well, separately, but together) emerging artists from University of Melbourne and VCA whose work hijacks language and text for the visual arts. Throughout August they will be incubating their most personal thoughts in the exposed glass cabinets of Platform's subway space.

 

Bonnie Lanes' installation 'Sleeping with Open Eyes' harks back to Tracey Emin's infamous unmade bed, transporting the intimate slovenliness of a Sunday under the covers to the concrete jungle. Ben Landau has set out to amplify the visual inner-city landscape for deaf people through Auslan poetry and poster art. Fiona Hilary will be projecting positive propaganda into the minds of the unsuspecting public as they run the morning commute gauntlet, whilst Kate O'Hara hopes to dupe the unsuspecting with her celebration of the national 'Peg Day Festival'. Is that gullible written on the ceiling? We suggest you hustle your way through the subway one morning this week to see for yourself.
