Ahhhh REMO..such an Oxford st institution in the 90s with that great store that they had on the corner of Taylor square...do you remember it? Oh I loved it... It was situated there when I was at COFA and was discovering Oxford st as a young and extremely naive art student..learning the ways of my new neighbourhood! Well REMO was always a great place to go into and play!! It was so interactive with so many unusual and odd toys, gifts and brick-a-brac, with a brilliant cafe in the basement...
Oh I missed it when it closed years back...
Well....when I found out that they had the cuisenaire rods for sale on their website I also found out that they have a new store! Yes! It is true...after all these years they are now situated on Bondi Road... well worth a visit I reckon!
And while you're there have some fun in the toy department!
Be sure to reminisce...a little!
Back to my sculpture... well it seems that someone has beat me to it...! It seems as though Vogue Living has cottoned on to the wave of new artworks using toys - and sure enough made a feature page of them in the Aug/Sept. 2009 issue!! And the local artist Lucy Barker was one of this new breed ....
Ill look forward to seeing them in the Sculpture by the sea exhibition at the end of the year...
