This is the Superperfect blog. Superperfect is an artistic project being developed by Shopfront (Aus) and Nibroll (Japan). The material on this blog is in progress and raw as an artistic team and many young artists explore what it means to be good enough.

スーパーパーフェクトのブログへようこそ！スーパーパーフェクトと言うのは日本のニブロールとオーストラリアのショップフロントが協力して押し進 めている芸術的なプロジェクトです。青年のアーチストが成功と失敗を検討し続けているので、このブログの内容はまだなまで進行中です。

Please leave a comment or post a response. Tell us about a perfect moment, a moment of success or a moment of failure. If you were a superhero, what would your power be?

コメントか答えを残してくだいさいネ！完璧な瞬間、成功した時か失敗した時について書いてください！自分がスーパーヘーローだったら、どんな力を持ちますか？

In April this year, 5 emerging artists + Shopfront’s Artistic Director and Outreach Director travelled to Japan to dance, devise, play, perform, eat, see the sites and generally get lost in the wonderful world that is Japan. Shopfront worked with Nibroll and Japanese young artists to explore perfection, expectation and failure.  We shared real-stories, performed under cherry blossoms, devised work about blue velvet, rolled down staircases, argued about the HSC, relived a Morrissey concert, tied ourselves up with string, wrote our dreams for the future on post-it notes, played tag and followed our projected shadow as it danced around the space. This work was pieced together in a small showing at Steep Slope Studios (Kyunasaka) on April 12th.
