In Concert

In Concert was an exhibition featuring work resulting from partnerships between Gertrude Contemporary Studio Artists and key arts and local organisations.

Taking place in Gertrude Contemporary’s recently opened project space, Gertrude Glasshouse, In Concert charted the boundaries of these art collaborations, examining the shifting and dynamic nature of the process across practice, medium and location. The widely divergent outcomes of these relationships—ranging from turf paintings, public soccer matches, rap videos, workshops, photoshoots, and individual artworks—reflects the possibilities for diversity and collaboration beyond the traditional confines of the gallery.

Gertrude Contemporary Studio Artists worked with artists from Arts Project Australia and Kaleidoscope, Scope Victoria, and students from Collingwood English Language School, St. John’s and Fitzroy Primary School. This exhibition was a culmination of these significant relationships developed over the past three years with the generous support of the Marjorie M. Kingston Trust.
