‘Redrawing’ at Spare Room, Building 96, 23(?) cardigan st, carlton.

Curated by Fiona Macdonald, Bronwyn Clark-Coolee, Ben Harper [UK], Fiona Macdonald, Thérèse Mastroiacovo [Canada], Spiros Panigirakis – Between renovation and negation, Redrawing is a practice-in-progress. Using contingency as both structure and technology, each  artist working in Redrawing produces change in the meaning of the system in which their model originates, by the addition of  their own  dependency. Redrawing asks whether there can be any sustainable meaning for the artwork.

Opening on Thursday 5 June 5-7pm.

 

‘Inert’ by Jack Douglas at E55, 55 elizabeth st, da shity.

Curated by Victoria Bennett and Clare Rae. An exciting one night exhibition comprising Video, Performance, Sound and Photography. Together these works will highlight the possibilities of the space and create a dynamic event. 
Flash Nights (lvl 2, 171 king st) At its present location Kings ARI houses 2 large gallery spaces, an AV gallery dedicated to screen based art, and artist studios. Between the exhibitions programmed by the committee, Kings ARI is opened up for one night to artist’s projects that are experimental. An emphasis is placed on site-specific works, or works that engage with the temporary and impermanent nature of a one night event. Flash nights are essentially an opening and closing in one, an exhibition, an event, a spectacle. Flash nights will become a semi regular feature of the Kings programme, occurring once every two to four months. If you would like more information, or wish to express interest in staging a flash night, please email info@kingsartistrun.com.au  with the subject heading Flash Nights.
