The humble gnome is on the edge of a face-lift after 220 of them were handed to Australian (wanna-be) celebrities requesting a complete body makeover.
The project comes after last year’s Dunlop Ping Pong Project when 150 table-tennis bats were shaped, painted and remodelled – for art’s sake.
And the point of this is…? If you’re looking for a raison d’etre you’re probably not going to find one but that follows why people would put gnomes in their gardens in the first place – really!
The public can view these gorgeous critters tonight only between 6 – 8pm at the Chalkhorse, Half Dozen’s new artist-run gallery in Cooper Street, Surry Hills. All the gnomes are for sale.
Don’t miss it…
