AD-A-MANT - Series 1 Exhibition

Event Information:
International Buy NOTHING Day!
29th November is International Buy Nothing Day. A 24-Hour moratorium on shopping. A day to contemplate our consumer cultured landscape, tied up so intimately with our outlook,lifestyle and eventual sustainability of our roots on the only planet we call home. A time to seek activities beyond malls and purchases.
Come Join us in a FREE event at The Other Side Gallery!

AD-A-MANT - Series 1
(exhibition)
AD-A-MANT examines the relation of advertisements in public areas and that of our mental environment.

Are there innocuous or sublime elements we have taken for granted? And if you had a chance to change it, what would you do?
Inspired by self-encouragement scrawled on study tables and discoloured walls...this INTERACTIONAL exhibition invites you to come and alter the space as you would LIKE it. Be a part of the art.
Watch artists reclaim public spaces in front of you, in LIVE ART ! (only on Friday)
