‘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
Serial Space is a collective of 5 artists/curators dedicated to providing a platform and space for time-based art forms. Serial Space is a form of praxis for the directors; it is a curatorial collective, a space and a community. The artforms that Serial Space support are (but not limited to) sound art, experimental music, electronic art, new media art, and performance art. The Serial Space collective aims to support non-traditional practices and artists who undertake ambitious, non-commercial and experimental projects through the curation of fluid and dynamic events including performances, artist talks, debates, improvisational events, screenings, workshops, show & tells, exhibitions and residencies.
In July 2012, the Serial Space collective will implement Time Machine, a brand new platform for the development & presentation of time-based art in Sydney. Time Machine will be a 10 day festival showcasing: local, interstate and international experimental musicians; durational performance art; audio/visual installations; sites for creative experimentation; artist talks; performance lectures and debates.
The Serial Space collective are: Tom Smith, Jennifer Hamilton, Kate Blackmore, Pia van Gelder and Frances Barrett.
Serial Space is supported by the NSW Government through Arts NSW.
