Time Place Space is a salon exhibition of artworks seeded through ten artists’ residencies under the King Island Council’s Artist Residency Program.

Based at the King Island Gallery and Airport, this major project opens on Sunday 1 September. A six-week salon style exhibition and installation with works spanning across contemporary painting, printmaking, photography, video, mixed media, textile and poetry.

Time Place Space will feature artists from different forms, disciplines and practices. They include two young emerging painters, a visual artist working in the field of expanded drawing, an established printmaker, a photographer and two recognised environmental textile artists. Also included are a poet and writer, and two acclaimed Australian leaders in contemporary dance performance and site-specific live art.

This is a special opportunity for the community and visitors to the island to experience a wide range of current Australian contemporary arts practice with works that reflect the artists’ experiences of King Island.

Exhibition continues until 13 October.
