OFFSITE_ONSITE

Relational practice, artist to artist to curator to curator to artists to collaborators, underpins the OFFSITE_ONSITE convergent program. Creative research and production residencies extended over the past year allowing for relationship building, deep inquiry, collaborative production, sustained community engagement and the evolution of presentations for exhibition. Gallery spaces have been adapted, windows have become portals, media screens and internet platforms have been enlivened, and installations projects have been situated offsite and onsite. These portals have become access points to lived experiences, truth telling, realms of time, notions of shared space, and to places both near and far.

Exhibitions, community engagement events, and installation projects running concurrently 16 June – 4 September 2021:

Under One Sky exhibition
participating artists: SHELLEY VANDERBYL / NISRINE BOUKHARI / ALFREDO DE STEFANO / ANNE STEVES
