If you have any further questions please feel free to email Sally Clarke or to make an appointment to discuss your ideas further.
AirSpace Projects has been established with the aim of exhibiting new and experimental work that explores the boundaries between different modes of art practice. We are also interested in exhibiting work that reflects a sustained inquiry in any medium or media and has strong conceptual underpinnings. We aim to showcase the work of international and established Australian artists alongside emerging practices in an effort to engage artists and audiences in a range of inter-generational, cross-cultural and trans-disciplinary dialogues.
