Seven Year Itch
Chapter House Lane
This commemorative publication marks the end of non-profit contemporary art gallery Chapter House Lane, Melbourne 2011-2018. In a hi-vis-orange coloured sleeve the limited edition title enclosed contains works created in response to the theme ‘Seven Year Itch’ by past exhibitors; 47 of whom are represented here, drawn from 64 shows the volunteer group proudly mounted. The black and white reproductions elicit an endearing ‘year-book’-like format, which is bookended by lined pages, perhaps inspired by Tai Snaith’s piece on page 38 which reads ‘if they give you lined paper, write the other way.’
