The Let's Come Together and Feel Alright Show

Chill Phil Schöde and Nicola Hardy have transformed a pile of cardboard into a beautiful world - an island home for all the cool and amazing people and animals. This mythical fantastical place comes to life at firstdraft Gallery from December 10th until December 27, 2008. Come and visit, we would love to see you there.

"We have created an ideal environment where everyone has their own place and where friendship, unity and having a great time are of utmost importance". This place is not like the real world as it is mostly made of cardboard. "We invite you to come along to the exhibition to meet the residents of Friendship Island and enjoy a beer at The Büdchen, which has been taken from the island and transported to Surry Hills for a few weeks for your viewing pleasure".

A Büdchen is a small booth or kiosk usually found on the streets of Köln (Germany) where snacks, newspapers, candy and beer are sold. These little shops are individually owned and each has its own unique flavour and are decorated according to the taste of the owner: so you will see football memorabilia, photos, stickers and cool toys. You can buy zines, comics and other products will be available for you to purchase.

Utopia may be chaotic but it is vibrant and everyone tries to get along because “friendship is bjutifull”.
