🔈 Submissions are now open...

As part of Textbook for Desire, opening March 19, our art store will host a Zine Exchange.

Textbook for Desire intends to work oppositionally to the cultural ‘texts’ and learnt narratives that teach us how and what we should want, and whose voices should be prioritised. As part of this we’re inviting submissions of zines to be part of a free library, reading room and book depository in our art store.

This Zine Exchange will present a collection of zines, pamphlets, and miscellaneous prints that visitors and members of the public are welcome to contribute to, take from, read, annotate and return. Your texts will be distributed alongside texts donated, curated and shared by Cement Fondu staff and artists.

If you’re an artist, zine-maker or just a curious thinker who’d like to contribute to this free and open-source resource, please email artstore@cementfondu.org or send us a DM here.

Whether you’d like to drop off some of your own work, something that you’ve read and loved, or just borrow from the collection we’ve curated, the Zine Exchange is open to anyone who’d like to become involved.

Our current exhibition, Attention Tourist presents

Our current exhibition, Attention Tourist presents selected works by Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin. The works Mark Trade and Temple Time, are from the SITE VISIT series (2016), in which they take their signature style of frenetic filmmaking and jabbering characters ‘outdoors’, documenting a camping expedition and tour around the American countryside.

Visit the gallery to view Fitch and Trecartin alongside newly commissioned artwork by Christopher Ulutupu until 7 March.

Cement Fondu Presents, is our Art X Music initiative inviting visual and musical artists to collaborate on a new and experimental digital offering.

We’re excited to share that our third instalment of CF Presents is a collaborative music video by 3D artist @wrath_____ and musician @genesisowusu. The video for the song ‘Gold Chains’ sees an animated Genesis move through a futuristic world, interacting with his real world counterparts.

For now, here are some images from the shoot which took place in November last year at our gallery space in Paddington, Sydney.
