DIY Arts Show

Thursdays 5 - 6 pm

The DIY Arts show focuses on experimental, independent community and grassroots art froms that are under-funded, misrepresented or non-existent in the corporate media. The show regularly features live independent and under- represented music, predominately from Melbourne.

Presented by Lou Smith and Nicole Hurtubise.

Thursday July 10 we will be talking with the artists Sharon West and Andrew Travis about their tandem shows at Platform Gallery; Gubbaworld and Koori Allsorts.

Gubbaworld is derived from the Koori name for white people. The exhibition parodies the notion of the museum diorama cabinet and is inspired by past museum (mis)practices. The work is constructed in both a 2D and 3D format, and offers a pseudo-historical narrative of Victorian settler history.

To accompany Sharon West's Gubbaworld, we are presenting a group show, Koori Allsorts, to help celebrate NAIDOC Week in July. The exhibition will feature recent work from Indigenous (Gunditjamara, Wemba Wemba & Yorta Yorta) artists including Jarrod Atkinson, Mandi Barton-Travis, Andrew Travis, Charlie O and Carol Wright.
