Matchboxes covered entirely in hundreds and thousands, wearing tuxedos and fashioned into chests of drawers will be up for grabs this week as Sydney club based art night The Wall [The World Bar, 24 Bayswater Road, Kings Cross] hosts a special show by the Matchbox project. Each week, a decorated matchbox with a tiny present hidden inside is left by a girl (and sometimes willing friends) somewhere in her travels. After nearly two years, over a hundred boxes have been left all around this city, in Newcastle, Melbourne, Paris and London, as well, containing everything from lego men, marshmallows, baby harmonicas and specially commissioned artworks. In a new twist, you won’t have to find a box, but can bid on it during the silent auction. The only catch is, it’s based on looks only, no clues as to what’s inside.
