The paintings are mix medium on linen and 40 – 50 inches in size.

Official Preview Night on the 24th of November. 5 – 7pm. Refreshments provided.

The 14 artists from Australia and New Zealand embrace an offbeat approach to art making. Exhibiting a mix of 1970’s influenced aesthetics, works in progress and a range of free events throughout the month of October.

The process of collage, or ‘cut and paste’ allows the artist to situate their interests and concerns into spatial and relational consideration combining mainstream and minority viewpoints, revelations of past and present with new and redundant technologies. The works will explore a range of ideas including interpretations and understandings of identity, kinship, community, spirituality, religion and personally transformative and psychedelic experiences.

No Vacancy gallery will act as a workspace for some, exercise and relaxation studio for others, and creative paradise for many. Audiences will be invited to align themselves with unusual activities, artistic processes, and work that is often humorous, intuitive, and evolving.

The full calendar of events including the CLOSING PARTY and performances by our talented musical friends: NO ZU, Ev & Shags and Owl + Moth can be downloaded here.

Thank you to Derry Sheehan, from Tooth & Claw for dedicating an entire month to filming all the events and piecing together a rad doco.
