We're currently seeking submissions to take over our Project Space during October and November this year. ⁠

The Project Space is a dedicated exhibition space within the gallery for experimental, immersive, social or evolving installations that align with our exhibition program. ⁠
⁠
Ahead of the deadline this week we'll be sharing collaborations from our archive as inspiration. Check out our stories this week or head to our Project Space highlight to get a better sense of the space. ⁠

During Attention Tourist which ran in Jan this year, our Art Store underwent a grotto getaway transformation, as part of a takeover by @110.percent.

⁠
We have a number vacation themed goods from 110% collective now on our online art store. Pictured is a limited edition mug which featured in the takeover. ⁠
