An upcoming exhibition for 2011…

FRUiTS: Tokyo Street Style Photographs by Schochi Aoki


2011 will be here before we know it, so we wanted to introduce our first main gallery exhibition for next year to you.

Via this blog, you’ll be able to follow our process of organising and installing this exhibition.

We must confess that this is not exactly the beginning of the exhibition process…
Hurstville City Library, Museum and Gallery plans its exhibition schedule 2 years in advance meaning that staff have already been working on this exhibition for a while.

FRUiTS: Tokyo Street Style is a travelling exhibition from the Powerhouse Museum and the Museum & Gallery is lucky enough to be hosting it between February – April 2011.

As you can see in the image above, the photographs in this exhibition were taken by Shoichi Aoki. This exhibition details the fashion trends of the Harajuku district in Japan from the mid 1990s to the present.

At the moment the LMG is looking for local fashion students to contribute their own designs and interpretations of these fashion trends for possible exhibiting at the Museum & Gallery during the exhibition.

If you are interested in contributing some of your ideas or you are a fashion student from around the St. George area we would love to hear from you!

Send an email to museumgallery@hurstville.nsw.gov.au or give us a call on 9330 6444.
