Project Space
Sutton Gallery Project Space
230 Young Street, Fitzroy
1-5pm Fri & Sat
Sutton Gallery's converted warehouse has an exciting series of experimental art projects scheduled throughout 2010. An alternative to the conventional gallery space, the venue offers new possibilities for artists seeking to extend their exhibiting language and potential.
Invited artists are given space to try out new ideas and approaches that will supplement and stretch their practice. Unrestricted by the formalities of a commercial show, these artists are freed to play with more temporal forms of representation, such as performance, multimedia and site specific installations.
Artists may choose to use the project as an opportunity to broaden their horizons through collaboration with other artists or by taking on the role of curator. The space also provides a platform for artists wishing to reflect on the processes and outcomes of external projects that viewers would not ordinarily have access to, such as residencies and public commissions.
Projects will changeover every 4-5 weeks during 2010.

Cluster and Connect
Curated by Helen Hughes and Genevieve Osborn
Cluster and Connect brings together a group of artists whose practices engage with an idea of social connectivity. Treating this utopian model as a form of social history, the exhibition is both an archive and an artwork that engages with the cyclical trends of exhaustion and renewal in local treatments of connective aesthetics.

Eight artists from North America have been invited to participate in These Gifts Must Always Move, an exhibition that playfully questions ideas of cultural and artistic reciprocity. Through delving into the lives of objects and ideas, the interdependence of meaning and context is examined, in light of specific artists' notions of travel, personal origins and interactions with new places.
