Totoro's Travelling Circus Tea House

First exhibitions for 2010

Loop Space - 109 Hunter St Mall

4 – 28 February 2010. Spystation NC1074 by Nicola Morton

An installation and workshop series investigating the act of surveillance – featuring monitors broadcasting images and videos collected from myth makers around the world, live video chats with informants, weather balloons floating in the air, missions hidden in stuffed toys, and workshops for visual, audio or linguistic spying.

Spystation NC1074 is exhibitive, interactive and interventive. It uncovers secret worlds, knowledge, thoughts and power for the community. But most of all it is a fun happening that everyone can be a part of.

Totoro's Tea House - Shop 1, 111 Hunter St Mall Current exhibition, "Totoro Brothers' Travelling Circus: The Greatest Show on Earth!" will stay up until 20 January 2010.

22 Jan - 28 Feb 2010. "Aloha tiki luau!" will have a Hawaiin theme (think summer, the beach, under-the-sea, hula, vacation, clambake, coconuts, cliche!!). Totoro's are seeking artists for the show, so if anyone is interested in submitting art they should contact us at: totoro.teahouse@gmail.com
