Steve Carr presents Boganne as part of the Future Proof series in association with High Street Project, Christchurch.

In 1999 Blue Oyster collaborated with High Street Project on a series of exhibitions titled Future Proof . Eight artists were shown in a touring exhibition between the two galleries, lasting until November. Steve Carr presents in his exhibition Boganne a series of painted self-titled record covers inspired by "Bogan" aesthetics and heavy rock album art and exploring the uneasy alliance between 'trash' culture and personal historicism. Boganne was held at High Street Project in Christchurch.

Future Proof was a series of exhibitions made ready by High Street Project and Blue Oyster split across Christchurch and Dunedin between August—November 1999.

In Dunedin, Blue Oyster hosted Kathleen Peacock, Robert Hood, Ian McDonald and Amanda Newall. In Christchurch, Hight Street Project hosted Douglas Kelaher, Steve Carr, Emma Kitson and Sera Jensen.
