unreasonable adults

This week on Art and Mayhem Lucazoid interviewed Jason Sweeney of the Unreasonable Adults. They're a hybrid performance/art group visiting Newcastle this week for Electrofringe. They're occupying an empty shop at 513 Hunter Street with a project called Gift/Back. All this week you can contribute "gifts" in whatever form you choose (in person at the shopfront, or online at http://www.slowboil.com/ua/giftsubmit.html ). On Saturday 30 September, and Sunday 1 October, they'll give your gifts back to you in some transformed way. You can hear the interview between Lucazoid and Jason Sweeney here:

You can visit the show until Sunday 1 Oct, gallery open 11-5 Thurs-Sun. There's a little mp3 recording from the fragile and monstrous sound machine made by David, available here:
