Wear your 'art on your sleeve... is a temporary event/performance which invites members of the public to take part in a jewellery happening much like a flash-mob. Suse Scholem has co-ordinated two public meeting points for participants – at the National Gallery of Victoria and the steps of Flinders Street Station. Participants will be given materials and instructions to engage their surroundings, and may keep these afterward to continue the social interplay beyond Radiant Pavilion. The project encourages participants and audiences to consider our relationships with art, adornment, our bodies and the social world.
