CHUTESPACE
Friday 8 August - Sunday 31 August, 2025
Opening Thursday 7 August 2025, 6pm - 8pm
From street to salon, a variety of found objects are re-imagined and combined into carriers of multiple memories, a jumble of interests and a new narrative.
Being a bit of an alchemist bower-bird, the artist sees treasure in the most unlikely things, allowing collections of discarded, inherited and made objects to stew over time and, unexpectedly, one day, distil into slightly strange vignettes of whimsy and a mind of their own.
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.
