Summer Closure
The gallery is currently closed to the public as we are preparing for our fall exhibitions: Jiā yóu!: PROCEED WITH CAUTION & have you eaten? Our opening reception for these exhibitions will be on Friday, September 4th from 7-9pm!
Opening Reception: September 6, 7-9:30pm
Steven Laurie Performance at Super Crawl: September 14, 8:30pm
Steven Laurie's exhibition Jacked! examines the unfolding aspects of normative masculinity through visual references to blue-collar trades, pastime activity, consumerism, and horseplay. The artist employs traditions of performance art, kinetic sculpture and mark-making to consider how actions/processes such as burning rubber, engine revving, and stereo thumping can be seen as communicating a sense of subcultural kinship and territoriality. In the performance Burnout, the act of burning rubber is reinvented as artistic gesture and imprint on James St North.
The exhibition is accompanied by a major catalogue including essays by Suzanne Carte, Chris Down, Ivan Jurakic, Irene Loughlin, Stephanie Vegh, and Kelly Wood. Download the catalogue here.
