Poetry for Toilet Doors

The Red Room Company's project 'Toilet doors poem posters' transforms the everyday toilet experience with original Australian poetry.

Six NSW poets have been commissioned to write an original poem for illustration and exhibition on the back of toilet doors across NSW and interstate. Each poem is illustrated with miniature images inspired by the poem text, with the final poster design being an unusual interpretation of your traditional sheet of loo paper.

Bringing the poetic ideas of new Australian poets into the public space, Toilet Doors reaches a captive audience in a humorous & imaginative way.

Purchase Toilet Doors Poem Posters

Toilet Door poems are suitable for the back of any toilet door - offices, festivals, libraries, schools, pubs or your home toilet!

To order your poem set fill out the purchase order form. You will also be listed on our popular website as a project participant.

Toilet Doors poem posters are sold in sets of 6 for $20.00 (plus $2.50 p & h) including adhesives to stick the poems on the toilet door with.

Rather than reading blank spaces or advertisements - open the toilet door to poetry"

Toilet Doors in Western Sydney

[OUT OF GALLERY] is A Series of Guerrilla Exhibitions in Western Sydney that anticipates the development of similar art initiatives in future that would make available opportunities to those artists who generally have very limited interest in the traditionally accepted and prevailing art market.

The project is an integral part of Western Front: Contemporary Art from Western Sydney 2004 Campaign Programme. [OUT OF GALLERY] a Series Of Guerrilla Exhibitions in Western Sydney brings together the works of over forty artists, including The Red Room Company’s Toilet Doors,with the public of Western Sydney in the form of artist happenings, short-term exhibitions, public interventions, performances and other forms of contemporary art. The project encases five distinct yet compatible art ventures: Urban Architecture: Site Specific Interventions, Art Park: People, Ecology and Environment in Art, Art Trafficking, Other Places: New Media and Local Identities and Digital Landscapes.
