Underwood Street, laneway art

Underwood Street hosts the "Seven Metre Bar", an art installation which is part of the Laneways: By George! Hidden Networks project, which at night doubles as a bar called Grasshopper. Based on the theory that Climate Change will melt the polar ice caps and raise sea levels, Underwood Street at seven metres above sea level would drown. The artist combines the landscape of weather and an architecture of catastrophe with intense weather projections flickering and crashing in the laneway at night.
