Chutespace
Friday 6 September - Sunday 29 September 2024
Opening Thursday 5 September 2024, 6pm - 8pm
Made from cans crushed by vehicles and liberated from corporate liveries by the greatest art-collaboration - gravity, time and weather, Crappy Groan Plucky's lust for life is an inspiration to us all.
Despite being casually discarded after single uses, they embrace life’s wretched pageant with dumb courage, naive sincerity and reckless optimism. Crappy Groan Plucky's demented exuberance emboldens us to resist necro-capitalism’s implacable desire to club our souls into dank submission. With Crappy on your team, you’ll always groan with the flow and stroll with the punches, especially when, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, they spit dust from their aluminium lips and shout - BRING IT ON!
About Chutespace
In November 2013 the former Griffith Library after-hours book-returns chute was transformed by Jeffree Skewes and Kerry Shepherdson, into a distinctive miniature exhibition space named CHUTESPACE.
CHUTESPACE is an artist run initiative and continues to be voluntarily curated and managed. Artists of all genres can apply for an exhibition.
Mini exhibitions are featured for four-week periods in line with the M16 main gallery exhibition periods.
All artist proposals are considered, and exhibitions are free to the artist.
