Mall's impending doom inspires guerrilla art

IF YOU'VE driven past Eminent Plaza on Lavender Street recently, you might have overlooked it as just another old building slated for demolition at the end of the year.

But keep your eyes peeled, and maybe you'll notice the brightly coloured graffiti on its facade: the "aftermath" of a three-week-long event in September that gave the place a final burst of life before it approaches its imminent end, if you will.

Fondly dubbed An Eminent Takeover, the project saw over 100 people from the creative industry - including musicians, visual artists, street artists, dancers and parkour enthusiasts being given a free run of the space, taking over office spaces, shops and even a karaoke lounge.
