09.01.2022 The Impossible Project collects creative endeavours that never got off the ground. Projects that were imagined but never became more than a sketch, an outline or model. Projects begun but never realised. Part of the collection is PYT's PLAYLIST and its national tour which was cancelled less than two weeks before it's first touring show. This new circumstance gave our team and crew a chance to reimagine what PLAYLIST could be. Join The Impossible Project throughout October an...d November as Edition 2 is released, and stay tuned later this year as they call out for more projects to join the dream. No project is too small or too big, too weird, too failed. Nothing is too impossible, or not impossible enough. https://theimpossibleproject.com.au/playlist @annatregloan @bureauofworks #impossibleprojects #theimpossibleproject #contemporaryart #installation #exhibition #pqau #pqau2019
