Looking Forward

Sefton Rani - Industrial Tapa

4th – 24th January Opening: Saturday 9th January 2-4pm

Main Gallery

Sefton Rani's work involves the concept of “urban tapa” which is taking the traditional form of tapa and reenergising it with modern materials, methods and motifs that reflect the contemporary environment we live in.

His work is primarily created with the use of paint skins where paint is applied on glass or plastic and when dry, peeled off and collaged to form layers that represent time and the history of the object or surface.

Trixi Rosa - double knotted shoelace

30th January – 14th February Opening show: Saturday 30th January 6:30pm

Main Gallery

double-knotted shoelace, is Trixi Rosa’s first solo exhibition and also the title of her debut poetry collection, recently published by Swimming with Elephants Press (USA).

This exhibition is an intricate dialogue between selected poems from the book alongside their responding artworks.

Through written work, performance and immersive audio-visual installation, the artist exposes bone in an act of self-suture. Using personal narrative to carve an awkward inquiry into the intersections of identity, place, intimacy and shame.

Sabrina Brunton – Dear Peter...

30th January – 14th February (Feature Wall)

Local photographer Sabrina Brunton's feature wall exhibition is a memoir to the late Peter Lindbergh, an iconic German fashion photographer.

Sabrina attempts to "authentically capture someone's emotions through a still image" which was a key mantra of Peter Lindbergh.

Sabrina's images encapsulate methodology and image making theory from Lindbergh's teachings in her own photoshoots with her models.

Pre-Loved Re-Loved

20th February – 14th March

Main Gallery

Depot Artspace’s first Pre-loved Re-loved exhibition, an exciting project inspired by our local community, was held in 2014 to assist owners to find a new home for their once-loved fine art and objects.

We are excited to re-introduce the exhibition in February 2021. You can expect to see a large variety of art works including painting, ceramics, photography, sculpture and more, available for sale at the Depot directly from their previous owners. Pre-loved Re-loved is also an opportunity to advocate for the introduction of Artist Resale Royalties legislation. Artist Resale Royalties entitle the artist to receive a royalty payment (normally a percentage of the sale price) from the sales of their artwork on the secondary market. Of any works over $1000 sold 5% is to the artist or to their estate.

Submissions & bringing in of artworks close on the 16th Feb 2021. Please note the Gallery will be physically closed from the 19th Dec 2020 – 12th Jan 2021.
