PIXEL: Art & Technology  September 16 - October 11
OPENING: Saturday September 19, 4-7pm
YSG: 117 Vere Street Abbotsford Vic 3067
Web: yarrasculpturegallery.com.au
Email: yarrasculpturegallery@gmail.com
Facebook: Yarra Sculpture Gallery: Current Projects

With such tools and devices available at our fingertips, how does technology colour and filter artistic practice? And how do artists create and twist technology, to expand and tilt our visual codes, language, and identity?

INFORMATION FOR ARTISTS
 
Artists are invited to propose new work or a recently produced piece that responds to the above questions.

More broadly, PIXEL invites consideration to how technology mediates with art making, via various processes in which artists prepare, produce, and display new works across a diversity of creative endeavour.

Artworks for PIXEL can be submitted in any media and materials, including sculpture, installations, photography, performance events, video, sound, and light projection. There is no specific size limit to the scale of works. What is essential is prior consultation with the curator during the Expressions of Interest period (see key dates over page).

Yarra Sculpture Gallery features 5 exhibition spaces. Participating artists are primarily responsible for sourcing specific equipment and hanging systems for their artworks prior to the delivery date. YSG can offer limited installation support, where appropriate after delivery.

There is a $40 fee to exhibit. No commission is taken on the sale of works. New works made for PIXEL, or produced within the last 2 years is preferred.

Interested applicants are strongly recommended to inspect YSG prior to submitting a proposal. A plan view of the gallery can be accessed here:
