The Cherry Pickers - an hilariously awkward
exhibition (27 August - 27 November 2005) -
We asked a host of celebrities a very
personal question to help raise awareness of
prostate, testicular and cervical cancer. We then
gave the results and a photograph of each celebrity
to a range of budding graphic designers for visual
interpretation.
The result is The Cherry Pickers featuring Dr
Karl Kruszelnicki, Jeanne Little, Kamahl, Ray
Martin, Carlotta and Jimmy Barnes to name a few.
Curated by Chris
Keeble.

places engage in a cycle of exchange.
