About

Katie Lee, Stool Thing and Hanging Thing 2016 (installation detail from The First LAST Collective Show)

The Collective’s name derives from a poem by Charles Bukowski, ‘air and light and time and space’ (1992). The poem undermines the idea of the ‘perfect’ conditions for creative work, and celebrates the potential for art to emerge from chaos and mess. The LAST artists harness this inherent contradiction in their practices, acknowledging the power held in small gestures – performed, captured, observed and shared.

LAST aims to facilitate events, exhibitions and activities in Melbourne and further afield.
