Spotlight on our graduate
I will be officially taking over from Belinda Wiltshire as Curator from the beginning of 2017 although I am already doing all admin aspects of the upcoming calendar now and have been over the past few months. I am super excited about the artists I have selected to exhibit with Tinning Street Presents in 2017 and feel very lucky to have been able to choose interesting works over saleability which would be limiting in a commercial gallery.
Tinning Street is privately owned and operated, I have exhibited with the Gallery three times since 2012 and have stayed around in the capacity of volunteer and generally as a helping hand or support to Belinda during openings or big installs over the years. I also work as a framer with one of the owners of Tinning and have formed a solid relationship with the space and the three main people who run it which is ultimately why I was offered the role (also because I have the ability to do the job obviously!). I guess this has been a form of networking although it has certainly happened naturally over the years.
I will be uploading upcoming exhibition details on the website soon but the first show is a very exciting one for me. I have been able to personally curate a group exhibition of 6 of my favourite female sculpture and installation artists from Melbourne so I am very excited to launch the year in such a big way. It's titled "The distance between things" and will be opening on the 19th of January.
