Alternating the Cube

Alternating the Cube investigates how models of the Artist Run Space or ‘ARI’s’ are a distinctive alternative to the art institution - and a necessary step for many artists to gain critique, grow and contribute to the fold. 

What do ARIs say about a community, its infrastructure and willingness to support these critical spaces of exploration? How do we find a balance between culture and gentrification? The ecology of the ARI and its lifespan may be short or long and is dependant of reliability of space and stability of rent and support. 

The ARI model has provided access for artists since the 1970s, challenging the traditional viewing experience to the White Cube, regional or commercial gallery space. Many ARIs provide the opportunity to exhibit and experiment and to work in attached studio spaces, with many works by artists from these spaces ending up in our national collections. 

Alternating the Cube will present work from artists connected with spaces directed by artists that operate across the region and invites a contemplation of the lifecycle of an artist.
