While the exhibition looks playful enough, it is underpinned by some very serious political as well as sinister concerns.
Only open for three days from 11.00 – 5.00pm today Friday 27 June to Sunday 29 June it is well worth the visit to the outer limits of this Inner West arts precinct!

This is what AirSpace Projects used to be – cold storage for Czechoslovakian beer – and this is the beginnings of a plan being hatched by Jamil Yamini for In Motion on November 22:
The incredible contemporary textile artist Alex Falkiner is back! Alex is running another of her successful Drawing with Thread Workshops at AirSpace Projects/SquarePeg Studios on Sunday 18 May from 2.00-4.00pm.

What happens when you approach stitching as a kind of mark marking?
Join visual artist and maker Alex Falkiner to learn a range of mark making techniques using needle and thread. Working with fabric with stitch you’ll have time to experiment, combine, and layer the techniques to create interesting effects. All materials, tea and bickies provided. However you are most welcome to bring along an interesting base cloth (woven only, not stretch fabric) to work into. Bookings Essential.
Suitable for stitchers and non-stitchers, drawers and non-drawers.
What people have been saying about the class:
“I loved the organic nature of this approach. Quite different to how I usually work and an approach I will definitely try out on my next project.”
“I learnt that embroidering doesn’t have to be perfect and that sometimes something that doesn’t have too much structure is what makes it beautiful. I personally resonated with this because lately in my own work I have been trying to achieve a more free approach in what I’m doing and not being scared to make a mistake!”
A bit about Alex Falkiner (aka Alfalky):
My workshops encourage playful, flexible and innovative approaches to hand-making. I like to keep groups small and intimate to allow for individual attention. Alex is excited about textile techniques because they are so portable, accessible, useful, beautiful and adaptable. Please join me in transforming ‘at hand’ materials into unexpected delights!
Experience? I’ve taught workshops for Kinfolk Magazine, Koskela, Object Gallery, Etsy, Bundanon Trust, Headspace, Gaffa Gallery, Q Station Manly, Woollahra Village Weekend, Work-shop, Gallery Lane Cove, Jurassic Lounge & the Sydney Children’s Hospital.

‘Love’ is an installation in two parts. In the video, a figure swings at a cycle of tennis balls served by an unseen opponent. As the sole player, his motivation wavers until his focus gives way to exhaustion or indifference. It is a game played with no cumulative goal or order and, as it progresses, he loses heart. In the accompanying text – a list – names have been catalogued according to the rhythm of the match.
In exploring the tension between narrative and gesture, ‘Love’ attempts to conflate the rhythm of written language with that of the moving image.

Dancing to the sounds of an acapella group at AirSpace Projects on a Saturday morning?
Sounds fantastic!
A musical event coinciding with The Democracy of Drawing 2
Saturday 22 March 11.30-11.50am. All Welcome.
ising on the cake is a 25 person strong acappella group that sings everything from Dusty Springfield and Leonard Cohen to Elvis Costello, Alicia Keyes, Paul Kelly and Gotye. All our arrangements are put together by our talented musical director Stuart Davis. We’ve sung in all sorts of locations including Federation Square in Melbourne, the Basement, clifftop weddings, markets and railway stations. Everyone says we look like we’re having fun when we sing and they’re right! We’re the only acappella group you can dance to!

Hyun-Hee Lee
11-3pm Saturday 1 March AirSpace Projects
This interactive work invites visitors to draw or write on small pieces of Hanji paper then fold and pin these to a wall in the gallery. This complements Lee’s work that consists of many drawn and folded pieces of paper in the manner of the Buddhist Prayer tradition. The end result will be a large collaborative and ephemeral work created by Lee and visitors to AirSpace Projects that will be dismantled at the end of the day.
