Description:
Like most ARIs, Seventh Gallery is a labour of love. Which is awesome and we love them for it, but our lovin' don't pay their rent. The SSSS is a genius egalitarian fundraiser that helps this great organisation, while earning you a sweet piece of art. Basically, 100 pieces of art are hung on the wall without names, and $40 buys you a red dot to stick on whatever piece grabs your eye, as well as a tasty beverage.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: Benefit gig
Call it THE OTHER Melbourne International Arts festival - West Space are putting on a three-week festival of sound, performance, and audiovisual art. And the most you'll pay is $20 - can't say that about the German opera can you? If it makes noise or it's got images that move then you'll find it in Tomorrow The World.
As much as we hate to use this word... CRISIS! Melbourne's artist-run galleries have been getting rather large rent hikes inserted into their rectums recently. And it's time for us all to adjust our perspectives, because if we don't start doing more than drinking free goon at launches of a Thursday night there'll be no more launches to drink goon at.
The little gallery with the best view in Melbourne, Blindside is hidden away on the seventh floor of the Nicholas Building, quietly introducing some of Melbourne's most exciting new artists to the rest of us.
An artist-run initiative, Blindside was founded by in September 2004 by three artists, all originally from Brisbane.
Founded more then twenty years ago, back when it was freakish to do anything in a subway other than doodle towards the train station, Platform Artists Group is one of Melbourne's oldest artist-run initiatives. Puttin on exhibitions inside the cabinets in the Degraves Street underpass, Platform also curates a bigger 'vitrine' space in the subterranean Campbell Arcade (where an artist once lived for a week) and the display cases outside the Majorca Building upstairs in Centre Place.
