SPACE BETWEEN US

ONLINE + IN-GALLERY INCUBATORS / ARTIST  RESIDENCY / MAKE ART / COLLABORATIVE PUBLICATIONS / ART TALKS

In this time the resilience and generosity of creatives, the gallery, and community as a whole, is reflected through what transpires in the space between us. Sometimes this is a visible, palpable, and tangible exchange. However, these days it is often facilitated through and mediated by technology platforms. Labour associated with research, development, production and presentation – all that it takes to make things happen, often takes place behind the scenes, over distance, and through virtual exchange. In making visible and reaching out to one another we nurture a collective experience – a weave of strength and interconnectivity. The incubators that are part of SPACE BETWEEN US are an important part of a larger exchange – that  has made space for individual and collaborative creative exploration and development and a coming together as a whole within the larger context of a convergent program of artists, writers, makers, curators, participants and viewers.
