When I leave Flinders St. Station I take the middle exit down to the Degraves St. underpass that goes under Flinders St. The Degraves St. underpass is also known as Campbell's Arcade and was built back in the 1950s. I think that is a more interesting route to take, as there are some trendy little designer shops down there and Platform, a public contemporary art space. Platform consists of a series of glass fronted cabinets set into the walls on both sides of the underpass. There are also the glass cabinets on both side exits up to Flinders St. and a couple more cabinets on the side of the Majorca Building that are also part of this artist run space. There are different exhibitions in these every month and the quality of exhibitions varies considerably depending on the artists. This time I am in luck, as there is a mad creation, a useless machine turning and pumping away in one of the cabinets. I am less impressed by some of the other work in other cabinets but it was worth using the exit to see this one creation. read more
