Ticket price: $10 donation to Lock The Gate Alliance at the door
Location: AirSpace Projects, 10 Junction St, Marrickville, 2204

Join Emily Copp at AirSpace Projects on Friday the 11th of March 2016 for a night of awareness raising documentaries around the subject of unconventional gas mining.

Australia has seen rapid expansion of coal and coal seam gas development over the last 5 years, despite widespread and vocal community opposition. Come along to find out more about the issues at hand as well as listen to guest speakers and engage in conversation around this important topic.

This event is a fundraiser for Lock the Gate Alliance, a national grassroots organisation made up of over 40,000 supporters and more than 250 local groups, who are concerned about unsafe coal and gas mining. These groups are located in all parts of Australia and include farmers, traditional custodians, conservationists and urban residents.

Hosted by AirSpace Projects and Emily Copp in conjunction with her exhibition, As Below, So Above, a collection of works made in response to her concerns around coal seam gas mining.

Air Salon

with

Kaye Shumack

Sunday 22 March, 2.00-4.00pm

Are you a practising artist wanting a space to reflect on your work with others?

This two-hour salon offers practising artists – in any medium – a friendly space for discussion about their works-in-progress. At each salon, artists have the opportunity to speak about their work and to gain insights and feedback from other artists. The intention is to create an open space for dialogue and critique, to support artists in the development of existing and new directions.

The salon will be led by Kaye Shumack, who has over twenty years teaching experience in art and design.

Kaye in studio

Normally the salons will take place on the last Sunday of every month 2-4 pm at Airspace Projects, with no more than 12 participants at each session (the first salon, however, will take place on Sunday March 22). A $10 fee for use of the space will be collected on the day from each participant.

The Premier Salon

Sunday 22 March 2.00-4.00pm

Be a part of it!

The first salon will be fairly informal. If you can, bring a work-in-progress, some thoughts about it, and also some examples of your previous work (digital or hard copy is fine). If you feel like it, bring an image of work by another artist who inspires you in some way.
This will give us some options for discussion.
The plan is to provide some really helpful and positive feedback for everyone, regardless of medium. And have an enjoyable afternoon!

To book a place in the first salon on Sunday March 22, email sally@airspaceprojects.com

We have been busy behind the scenes at AirSpace Projects preparing for the expansion of our space into the indoor driveway and basement next door. It’s been a lot of hard work but we’re almost there! Frank ter Meulen of Dutch Touch did a sterling job building platforms, stairs and walls, we couldn’t have asked for a better job. Then the painting day working bee got underway. Huge thanks to James Nyugen, Veronica Habib, Veronica Shen, Ciaron Begley, Janine Bailey and George. Sally has been refining her concreting skills to fill in various gaps and has just one more coat of paint to do on the floors before it’s pretty much done.

wBeeBrenda Factor feeds the workers

There will be three new exhibition spaces to add to the main gallery: Gallery Two, The Cranny and Deep Space. The spaces vary in size and can be reserved individually or in groupings. We have already received inquiries and while we have not yet called for proposals and uploaded information to our blog, we are accepting proposals and are very happy to discuss the conditions and your ideas with you. Information coming soon on the blog!

We now also have a permanent workshop area. Li Wenmin and her Drawing Through Journey class has tested out the new workshop area and if the resulting drawings are any indication, the space is working brilliantly!

Upcoming Workshops – Soon!

Alex Falkiner will be running her ever-popular workshops Drawing With Thread (un-embroidery) on Sunday 25 January 1.00-4.00pm and Stitching Off The Page (fancy edgings) on Saturday 31 January from 1.00-4.00pm.

Exhibitions

This year’s exhibition program will be commencing with two exhibitions both opening on

Friday 6 February 6.00-8.00pm

Iconoclasts

The exhibition Iconoclasts takes the etymology of the word ‘Iconoclast’ literally as a ‘breaker of images’. Artists explore this concept individually and collaboratively with the directive to ‘break’ each other’s images, resulting in paintings that are layered, excavated and ‘Frankensteined’ in the style of exquisite corpse.

Courtyard Residency

Sarah Newall is undertaking a three-month residency from February until the end of April to transform the dilapidated courtyard at the rear of AirSpace Projects into a sustainable gardening project. Where possible she is using recycled materials and even recycling an artwork donated by Francesca Mataraga! The garden will be a work-in-progress and you are welcome to visit during openings and opening hours.
