The chosen piece will be installed inside the gallery space for the duration of the exhibition
17 March 2017 through 23 April 2017.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOUR is a multi-disciplinary group exhibition, with themes on the movement of peoples, limbo and arrival. Proposed structures or works may have a practical purpose, such as shelter, or be more conceptual and reference in-between or limbo spaces, spaces for public forums or rallying. Responses to the curatorial rationale may be literal or abstract and include reference to critical spatial practice. Any material or form may be used.

CURATORIAL RATIONALE

It wasn’t far back in the world’s memory that people could move as freely as the capital they generated. Today that movement is curtailed by barriers, camps and detention centres built provisionally or makeshift in unvalued spaces, yet becoming more and more permanent.
The group exhibition KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOUR explores migration in a contemporary moment where the movement of stateless peoples worldwide proportionately rivals that of the post WWII era. Artists explore perspectives of ‘arrival’, using domestic and international experience as a reference point and departure for enquiry.

SPATIAL PARAMETERS

The chosen work will occupy the space of Cell F, dimensions: 4.5m x 3.7m, ceiling 3m. Click HERE to see floor plan.

As The Lock-Up is heritage listed, it presents a unique challenge to work within. Works are suggested as freestanding and cannot be directly adhered to the floor, walls or ceiling.

COMMISSION FEE

If chosen, you will receive a $1,000.00 commission that includes material costs and artist fee.
You are required to deliver and construct the structure onsite at The Lock-Up as part of the fee.
