Biennial Exhibition
& Art Auction In
The Streets of 4101
August 8‐24
Artists
Emerging / Early / Mid Career Artists
TRACE is a biennial exhibition and art auction in unexpected West End venues. It raises needed funds for Community Plus’s vital services, and integrates contemporary art within the community. The artists in TRACE are among Australia’s most important, and many have strong connections to the area.
Visit the art in a locksmith, an Asian grocery store, book shops, a jeweller, a mechanics garage, and lots of other unlikely venues along Boundary and Vulture Streets. Then bid for the work online, with proceeds going back to the artists as well as supporting the indispensable, indomitable Community Plus+ and their work with marginalised and vulnerable community members.
Since the 1960s many artists have investigated different ways to exhibit art outside of purpose-built galleries and museums. TRACE draws from this trajectory of encountering art in ordinary and unexpected places.
This year TRACE artists have chosen or been paired with an emerging, early or mid career artist. Their works will hang side by side, highlighting the creative support and exchange between generations of artists.
There will be two guided walking tours of the exhibition on each Saturday of the show (10, 17, & 24 August). Choose from a tour with curator Carrie McCarthy, and local historians Tim Quinn and Steve Capelin, or get a Murri artist perspective with local collective BlakLash or local architect Paul Hotston from Phorm Architecture.
Tours meet at the 4AAA kiosk opposite the goanna on Boundary St, West End at 9am and 11am. Book here for the 9am tour and here for the 11am tour.
TRACE runs from August 8–24. Online bidding up until 9pm August 31.
