PROPOSALS

Articulate project space 

is an artist-run initiative formed in 2010 to support experimental contemporary art by providing rental space for projects, exhibitions, events and performance. It prioritises artworks and artforms in which actual (physical) space, place or location have an important role in the construction and meaning/conception of the work. It thus supports installation and other spatial artforms for their own sake, and also for the potential spatial art practices have to contribute to the environmental movement through their re-valuation of place. It aims to create a diverse program that also includes experimental, critical and cross-disciplinary practices in which ‘idea dictates form’ rather than being medium-based. It also supports cross-generational contact and the general arts community through artists’ talks, discussion forums, documentation, archives and publications.

The project space

Articulate's project space is 108 sq metres — 27m long, 4m wide and 2.5-2.8m high. It is on the ground floor of a renovated warehouse that fronts onto Parramatta Road in Leichhardt. It is accessible from the front and rear of the building. There are stairs on the left after you enter from Parramatta Road, giving access to ArticulateUpstairs and studios on the first floor.  

Configuration of the project space is shown in the above plan and archival images. For 360-degree panoramas see here and here.

The program

Articulate project space program runs 3-weekly exhibitions in conjunction with the ArticulateUpstairs program. ArticulateUpstairs is a separately run mezzanine space sharing similar concerns. The program can include exhibitions and projects that use both spaces. 

Standard exhibition opening hours are Friday to Sunday from 11am to 5pm with opening night on Fridays at 6-8pm.

Articulate encourages solo, collaborative and group shows as well as developmental and performative projects. It gives greater support to solo/duo installations and projects that use the whole space in acknowledgement of the support and recognition required by this kind of practice.
