GUIDELINES ABOUT UTS GALLERY UTS Gallery is a space where creativity and technology meet. With a focus on diverse, innovative and interdisciplinary practices across contemporary art, design and social enquiry, we present a dynamic exhibition program complemented by public events and publications. We are inviting proposals for 8-week exhibition slots in our 2018 program. Our annual program incorporates curated, solo, and collaborative projects across a broad range of media with a key focus on critical practices that reflect and engage with current dialogues surrounding cultural production and projects that reflect our diverse university-based community. We are committed to presenting innovative work by professional practitioners based locally, nationally and internationally with exhibitions particularly from the Asia-Pacific region encouraged. In addition to financial, curatorial and administrative services, the Gallery also supports its exhibition program through the development of related public programs, education and publishing activities. An artist residency is also offered by invitation.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION SPACE UTS Gallery is a single space of approximately 174msq, opening on to an outdoor courtyard. The gallery has twelve large moveable wall sections which can be uniquely configured for each exhibition. The exhibition space features a polished concrete floor, a raised ceiling with suspended lighting tracks and the opportunity for natural light. There is a kitchenette/storeroom attached to the gallery and access to a loading dock.
