Gallery as Residency | Alira Callaghan (expired event)

Alira Callaghan is moving into the Paper Mountain Gallery. What artistic wonders will she dream up while she's here? Much of it depends on who visits during her stay. Will you be coming?

Gallery as Residency is a new exhibition by Alira Callaghan at Paper Mountain that investigates the gallery as a site for creativity. Callaghan will make and exhibit work during the exhibition, transforming the Paper Mountain exhibition space into a dynamic performance space and collaborating with visiting gallery patrons. Taking the concept of the artist residency as a starting point, this performance work unpacks how art is made while creating an experience between participants and the gallery space itself.

There are a series of events involved in this project worthy of your attention:

• The Opening, 9 February, from 9:30am. https://www.facebook.com/events/162048141079687/
