URBANSTRETCH

Opening Wednesday 26th March 6pm-8pm
Closing Saturday 12th April


Young street artists from various disciplines have been given the opportunity to work, explore and exhibit their ideas for “immoderate public art”. Their intention was to stay away from the more traditional public art ideals; the type of work that would be funded and encouraged in the real world of judging panels and politics. The public art has not been made, the visualizations are being exhibited: sketches of process, studies and plans. The gallery has become an environment to experiment and collaborate; a place where contemporary street culture, traditional artistic practice and “pie-in-the-sky” ideals overlap and coalesce.
Curated by Leigh-Anne Niehaus and Murray Turpin.
