Anything is possible with pozible!

Crowdfunding is the new black. You may have heard of the website Kickstarter? Well, pozible.com is the Australian version. And it is very cool.

In short, crowdfunding is a new way of raising funds for creative projects, and Spare Parts has signed up! Basically, the site allows project creators to present their idea to a worldwide audience. You set a dollar target and a deadline, and your fans, followers, friends, family and kind strangers make a pledge towards your target. The pledges are only processed if you reach your target.

There are rewards also available, and I have listed four:

For pledges of $50 or more you can choose to receive a copy of the Spare Parts 2012 program posted to you (anywhere in the world) later this year. There are 20 of these available.

For pledges of $200 or more you can choose a very cool black and red deer/dog/unicorn head by Gold Coast artists Erica Gray. His name is Bingo, and he is valued at $300 and is made from sculpting foam, wool, felt, mount board and PVC.

For pledges of $300 or more I have one copy of an Andy Warhol catalogue donated by the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), from their Warhol exhibition in 2007. This is a Limited Edition, number 209 of 1000. Hardcopy, with Campbell’s Soup 1 on the cover. This catalogue is now out of print, and quite the collectors item!

For pledges of $500 or more I have a leg from the 2010 exhibition up for grabs!
“Wench From The Depths” by Rachi Brains. Valued at $750, it is made from a prosthetic leg, modeling clay, acrylics, plastic cherry blossoms. Rachi is a very popular tattoo artist based in Brisbane.

So basically – you can go on and pledge any amount upwards of $1 towards Spare Parts, but if you’re interested in one of the above rewards you need to pledge a little bit more, and get in quick! I think they will be snapped up quite fast.

Spare Parts is an independent event, and I rely on sponsorship and funding to make it all possible. For the London exhibition I am asking everyone to help make it happen.

There is a fundraiser at the Zoo in Brisbane on June 7th, awesome raffles up for grabs, and a market day at fashion label dgostar’s studio on June 17th. I have set up Pozible to allow people outside of Brisbane to get involved and lend a hand (or a foot, or an eye!).
