I put a work out in the city on Friday in Westwood Place Melbourne, off Collins Street behind the Melbourne club.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I normally place a note next to the artwork saying 'For You' which grabs people's attention. This time I thought I wouldn't make it so easy, instead stuck the note behind the work and lent it against the wall then found myself a vantage point across the road where I could stand and watch through a carpark, to see if anyone took the painting while I was watching. </div>

The location I chose wasn't that busy itself but it was lunch time and only a few metres from a bustling Little Collins St. I stood there for about half an hour and not one person went over or it seemed even barely noticed the painting. Lately works haven't been lasting more than 10 mins on the street. I was getting hungry and so leaving the work there sitting on the street unclaimed, went off for a Japanese lunch and beer. At lunch I decided that if the work hadn't been taken when I got back I'd maybe make it a bit more obvious and take the note off and stick it on the wall next to the painting like I normally do.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
After lunch I went back to Westwood Place, this time from the other end via the small pedestrian walkway off Collins Street. Just as I turned into the lane I could see a lady looking at the painting. Getting closer I could see it was a 'bag lady' with fully loaded trolley and all. She was inspecting the note and obviously deciding whether she should take it or not.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
She did take the painting and piled it on top of her trolley. Intrigued I followed her down Little Collins Street.

The note I left with it said 'this is art that has escaped the gallery', she headed in the general direction of Melbourne's main gallery the <a href="http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/" target="_blank">NGV</a> and I thought that she may have taken the note quite literally, intending to return my painting to it's rightful home. Feeling like a bit of a stalker I followed from a distance until she turned into a deadend laneway a few blocks down that had another laneway branching off it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Where was she going? Is this where she lives? Who knows?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Many people have commented how well she was dressed for a bag lady which makes her even more intriguing. Who is our mysterious art lover? Anyone know who she is or anything about her?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hope she's enjoying her new acquisition.</div>

<br />
<i>May have procrastinated on location for too long and too many days that rained so I just did it. am sitting in a cafe for a while hoping that someone passes with it while I am here. Hahaha good fun.</i><br />
<br />
Great!! Thanks Nicol Yeah i do the same. I mean the work's for free so what's it matter where it goes?... but it does matter somehow... and then you hope someone takes it while you're there. I don't always get to watch them. great you've got a spot. What suburb? I'll put it on Instagram.<br />
<i>Devonport on the North Shore. </i><br />
<i>People don't trust taking it. Have watched a few stop and the unease they display. I'm like TAKE IT.</i><br />
<br />
Ha ha ha this is great! Some people drive across the city to try and get one of my works and I can't even give it away to others.<br />
<i>Let me know how it goes I have left it in the hands of the people.</i><br />
Ahh thanks heaps. Now we waait. Sometimes i hear from them but many times I never know what happens to them. It's all part of it.<br />

My preference is for darker colours. Actually I love the purity of just black and white. These brighter colours started to emerge in my work after I started Ambush exhibiting. I felt the works needed brighter colours to compete with the visual noise of the street.</div>

Catalogue textRapid mash-ups of colour and line as well as a palpable sense of gusto distinguish Troy Mendham’s paintings.<br />
<br />
As a painter-turned-image maker working through contemporary Abstraction, his new solo exhibition I WISH I COULD KEEP LIKING THIS AND YOU WOULD GET TONNES OF LIKES BC I JUST WANNA LOOK AT THIS 4 EVA!!!! sees Mendham progress his exploration of new ways in which audiences are engaging with Abstraction in both physical and virtual arenas.<br />
<br />
As the exhibition’s title suggests, Mendham’s practice as a painter encompasses that of the avid instagrammer or online content creator who uploads imagery for online exchange; approximating aesthetic value with mass receivership. Mendham’s engagement with the perpetual image stream of the screen follows on from his ‘Ambush Exhibiting’ series where he distributed his paintings in various public locations for audiences to find, document and re-appropriate as techno images using smartphones.<br />
<br />
Most intriguing about Mendham’s new series is how he presents a contemporary situation for abstraction whereby the painterly gesture has virtual sensitivities towards compressions, transposition, and simulated impressions. Yet, by their physically defined presence in the gallery, Mendham dually acknowledges the genre’s history and current evolvement, the consumption of its rendering, and how these split sensibilities are integral to the future of the artistic practice.<br />

There was a cafe near the recent Abbotsford spot where I could stake out and see if anybody took the work. First interest only took 9 mins but unfortunately the painting wouldn't fit in their car so they put it back. So grateful they got in touch on instagram, thanks guys.<br />
<br />
A few minutes later this lucky lady, picked it up. She was so rapt she gave me a hug. A hug for art. What a great day.<br />
