HISTORY
STRONTIAN RD BIRREGO
2010–NOW
In 2007, the Cad Factory purchased an old school house in the Riverina in regional NSW, 100km South West of Wagga Wagga and 30 km South East of Narrandera. The school house, which was falling apart, was intended to be a place where we would send artists to work. It wasn't until we spent time at the school house that we decided to move the Cad Factory there permanently.
We were amazed by the landscape, the access to space, the giant structures and machinery used in primary industry. The whole region spoke to us of possibilities for installations, making sounds from unusual sources, of working with local communities and the great Australia landscape.
So, Birrego is where we now reside, build, create and develop our programs and projects. Away from the static of a big city, we are able to focus our intentions and energy into artistic and musical explorations.
HISTORY
HANDLEY ST MARRICKVILLE
2008–2010
After being evicted from the Cadogan St address, which was an ordeal that made us question the humanity of the big city, the Cad Factory regrouped and set about meeting their two week eviction deadline.
Posting an inspirational sign on their wall which read, "The Cad Factory is More Than Just a Physical Space,"
a new warehouse was found within 24 hours. With much more space to play with, an owner who loved what we were doing and a sympathetic real estate agent, the Cad Factory set about developing their practice into the multi arts organisation it is today.
