EVIE’S BORN ON APRIL FOOLS DAY 2009
On the April 1st 2009 Evie introduced itself to the world by giving 300 Melbournian’s a smile first thing before they embarked on yet another bland morning. From this day on the Evie family antics where characterised by unparalleled creativity which acted as the catalyst for all their endeavors. “Evie is a response to the generic bleak mainstream surroundings, and the lack of innovation within social encounters. This motivation stems from the lack of ‘smiles’ within society” said a member of Evie.

EVIE'S "THE GIRL IN THE GOLD JACKET"
In response to the repetitive social agenda of Melbourne; the creative family of Evie endeavoured to re-invigorate society's scence of social interaction,
by capturing an emerging underground nightlife scene,400 of Melbourne's rebellious, fashion forward and care-free youth and a abandon brewery in the centre of the CBD.

EVIE SAYS “SWINE IS FINE…”
On Monday, March 29, 2010 Evie took to Melbourne to lift the dark cloud that was “Swine Flu”. As Evie acts as a voice for Melbourne’s youth, they decided to arise and lighten the vibe that had flooded the media in recent weeks. “The drastically over hyped swine flu circus has sent Melbourne into a frenzy, and we just want people to realise that there isn’t much you can do. So just keep on living, do what you do, you are statistically more likely to die from a falling vending machine” said a member of Evie.

EVIE’S REVEILS TRUE IDENTITIES

PART 5
EVIE SAYS “WE’RE NOT HERE FOR A LONG TIME SO ENJOY IT…”
On Friday August 28th 2009, the last day of winter at the crack of dawn, Evie set out revitilise inspiration amongst the community, by giving Melbourne a little reminder of just how precious our time really is. Evie’s gifts where placed amongst the flow of morning commuters heading into the city; with the hope that people would wake up, and enjoy life. The motivation stemed from a lack of ‘smiles’ within society. Evie was again striving to give Melbourne a break from the day to day slog, even if just for a moment.
PART 6
EVIE AND SABRE'S "DONT LOOK HERE"
From 5PM on Thursday 21st till Midnight on the 31st of January the creative family of Evie collaborated with Sabre Vision and brought back that naughty feeling you get the moment you sneak a peek of something you shouldn’t.
Evie and Sabre Vision created an installation that evoked the naughtiness in us all. The windows of 121 Chapel St South Yarra Melbourne presented the question should i or should I not sneak a peep?

EVIE AND SABRES "A PSYCHEDELIC TROPICAL BEACH RIOT IN THE NUDE"
When the 100 meter cardboard castle that was set to house 400 of Melbourne’s raddest patrons for a afternoon of carnage by torquays "revolver and sun" quite literally blew away to Sydney, the evie family had to pack up shop and move to their creative hub (“This is it” gallery @ 121 chapel st) for a plan B that blew minds at any rate....
PART 8
EVIE WONDERS “HOW DO YOU FEEL MELBOURNE ?”
On the 16th of March 15, 2010 Evie offered Melbourne the chance to wash away their emotions on a series of feeling boards placed around Melbourne. Each board asked them what first came to mind in relation to a specific word, and encouraged Melbournians to communicate these feelings on the pop up blackboards.
People reactions to secrets, fears , wants, loves, and hates, then acted as the catalyst for Evie to document Melbournians true emotions. With the blackboards full, and the chalk buckets empty Evie transported the boards to it ‘s creative hub “the dansk gallery” at 121 Chapel St Winsor on Thursday the 25 of March at 6pm to display their findings. Patrons where then given the opportunity to do the same on a series of massive boards in the gallery.
“With our new creative hub “this is it” we really want to make the public the art, not just artists themselves. This installation can offer any Melbournian the chance to be in our exhibition simply by communicating the way they feel on one of the feeling boards” said a Evie member.
PART 9
EVIE SAYS “DON’T LIVE YOUR LIFE BY TIME”
Evie’s latest art installation ran in conjunction with the first Melbourne sale of Sydney fashion label “Bassike”
As Evie has no time frame, no agendas, no deadlines their latest antics was created to mimic this motive. This latest art installation existed to encourage us to look at our lifestyle choices and to take a look at how we spend our time…
The art installation was held on Thurday the 17th of June @ 33 Simmons street South Yarra. From 7-9pm
