‘Have you been to Serial Space? It’s some 80s Polish scifi film-set of a gallery, I swear, all smears and patina. You can’t go wrong exhibiting there, not for shows that have the hybrid robustness to survive outside the sterile white box.‘ – Dan Mackinlay
‘As much structurally as it is in nature, Serial Space is profoundly unprepossessing. It is a receptive and open platform for the values – experimentation, fluidity – of those who choose to invest, and so has the potential to fill and transform with whatever energy and initiative people throw at it.‘ – Millie Stein
Founded in 2008, Serial Space is an Artist Run Initiative that facilitates artists working in hybrid and inter-disciplinary practices. Serial Space is run by a collective of 5 Directors who are dedicated to providing opportunities to artists for professional development and creative exchange.
Serial Space provides a space to initiate new projects through a large range of programming and an existing audience and community to whom artists can publicly present their work. Serial Space is one of the only spaces in Sydney with a strong commitment to fluid and live forms such as sound art, experimental music and art, electronic art, new media art, and performance art. A major part of the Serial Space program is the facilitation of on-site and off-site residencies. These programs provide artists with space in which to develop their practice and present their works in progress. Serial Space is also dedicated to an ongoing program of events that encourage practical and theoretical education and artistic dialogues including workshops, talks and debates, exhibitions, screenings and performance nights. Serial Space aims to support non-traditional practices and artists who undertake ambitious, non-commercial and experimental projects.
Current directors are: Tom Smith, Jennifer Hamilton, Kate Blackmore, Pia van Gelder and Frances Barrett.
Serial Space is supported by the NSW Government through Arts NSW
