one hundredth gallery has moved!

one hundredth gallery is an easy-going and enjoyable exhibition space dedicated to the exhibition and sale of artwork by aspiring and emerging artists. We also work with established artists who are trying something new.

After two years in Prahran, we have moved one hundredth gallery to a much bigger space at 200 Normanby Road, South Melbourne.

We have partnered with the kind people at Sidearm Cafe and are using their adjacent 500sqm room as our new exhibition space. Not only is the space ten times bigger than our previous gallery space; you will now be able to enjoy some breakfast or lunch with your art!

Entrance to the new gallery is via Sidearm and our opening hours will initially be the same as the cafe’s, Monday to Friday 7am – 4pm.

We look forward to seeing you soon at our new space.

Artists – submissions for the new gallery space are now open!

one hundredth gallery is moving!

We are very excited to announce that after two years in Prahran, we will be relocating one hundredth gallery to a much bigger space in South Melbourne in early 2013.

We are partnering with a cafe and will be using their adjacent 500sqm room as our new exhibition space. Not only is the space ten times bigger than our current gallery; our guests will be able to duck next door to enjoy some breakfast or lunch!

Our Prahran gallery space will be open until Sunday 23 December 2012 before closing to the public. We will announce our new address and opening hours in January.

Until then, we would like to thank you for ongoing support and wish you and your families and friends a very Merry Christmas and the best possible start to 2013!

merry christmas & happy new year!

feminism & masculinism

I am currently exhibiting wonderful artwork by an insightful artist named Prue Scott. Prue is a sculptor and her current exhibition is a collection of nude bronzes portraying scenes of humanity, support and joy. There is nothing sexual about the images and they are an excellent representation of the human form, both physical and emotional.

What makes this exhibition ‘different’ is that all of the bronze sculptures are male.

I hadn’t given that fact a second thought; however the majority of our visitors during the past week have found the innocent images very confronting and have asked questions like ‘what’s the artist’s infatuation with naked men?’; and ‘why so many penises?’

What I found even more interesting is that many of these comments and questions were made by women.

It dawned on me that if these bronzes were female, they would not have evoked the same reaction or response. I would not have heard the questions ‘what’s the artist’s infatuation with naked women?’; nor would have I heard  ‘why so many boobies?’

As a society, we are used to seeing naked females, not just in art but in general. There is no shock; no awe; we seem to be desensitised.

So here we are in 2012, and 30cm sculptures of naked men elicit responses from both men and women that suggest we are living in a time long long ago.

This post doesn’t aim to preach, or change the world. I thought I’d write it as this is the first exhibition that we have hosted that has elicited so much response and so much conversation. By my measure, it is therefore the first time we have shown a true art exhibition.

Equability by Prue Scott ends this Sunday 9 December at 6pm.

invitation | aurorian dawn by dmitry trashkov

Opening Night  |  6pm – 8pm Thursday 20 September

Exhibition continues until 14 October 2012

Please join us on Thursday 20 September for the opening of Aurorian Dawn, Dmitry Trashkov’s first solo exhibition in Melbourne.

Dmitry Trashkov is a BFA graduate from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Aurorian Dawn showcases Dmitry Trashkov’s aptitude for graphic art, and seeks to create metaphysical and open-ended symbolic and esoteric dream worlds.

Dmitry Trashkov’s atmospheric mixed media works, full of menace and mystery, draw inspiration from the magical folktales of his native Russia, and an entire history of countercultures, from nineteenth century fin-de-siècle (end of the century) Symbolism and Decadence through to twenty-first century Metal and Goth.

Dmitry’s online exhibition will launch after the opening night.

We hope that you will join us for the opening.

would you like your own art gallery?

Would you like your own art gallery?

Do you know an artist or curator that does?

To enable the expansion and global domination of one hundredth gallery and one hundredth agency, I need to be able to step away from our existing gallery premises in Prahran.

In order to do this, I need to find some like-minded people (artists and curators) to run one hundredth gallery [prahran] as their own.

To keep in line with our inherent philosophy of launching the careers of aspiring and emerging artists and curators, one hundredth gallery is not looking to employ people; rather we are looking to lease the gallery to a group of up to 10 artists and/or curators.

My aim is to hand the gallery over on (or before) 1 January 2013 so that I can get moving on the next one hundredth venture. In order to proceed, I need at least 7 artists/curators to sign up.

If you’re interested in taking control of one hundredth gallery [prahran], as well as control of the sales of your own artwork, and of your artistic careers, then please email me at charles@100thgallery.com or call me on 0413 00 1234 for a (confidential) chat.

Expressions of interest close at 6.00pm on 30 September 2012; however please don’t leave it to the last minute as I will be signing people up on a ‘first come, first served’ basis between now and then.

Further Detail

What’s it going to cost?

  • each artist or curator will be charged $110 per week, or $478 per month (inc. GST)
  • there will be no commission on sales

What’s the catch?

  • the name one hundredth gallery needs to stay
  • provision must be made for exhibiting aspiring and emerging artists (outside of the group) for at least 10 weeks per year. This will generate income of around $15,000 for the group.
  • the gallery is open a minimum of Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
  • the group will determine how and when the space is used by the group

The lease includes the business, premises, two underground car parks, all fixtures and fittings including the lighting and hanging system, as well as outgoings such as council rates, water rates, and owners’ corporation fees. Most commercial leases do not include these things.

The successful artists and curators will be responsible for the lease payments and the electricity bill (if fewer than 10 people take the space). Lease terms will be 1 or 2 years with an option to renew depending upon all of our circumstances; and we’ll run the agreement through a licensed real estate agent.

art melbourne

It’s all about Art Melbourne this weekend.

Art Melbourne, Melbourne’s Affordable Art Fair opened last night and we joined the festivities. As with previous years, there is a wide range of artists, art, styles, and price ranges.

Whilst the four-day event is targeted at art buyers, artists will be well advised to go along to check out what your contemporaries are doing. Call it market research… and all under one roof.

one hundredth gallery is not a part of Art Melbourne, so it was great to see artists that we have worked with representing themselves and their artwork at this event.

The highlights of the show for us were the paintings by Marcus Rose. Rose’s work is composed often with a self conscious referral to photographic montage. Straight line cuts of image, together with aspherical distortion are re-created on canvas in a high realistic style. This produces distortion similar to that produced as if viewing the subject as a reflection in a curved mirror.

Whilst we are not a part of Art Melbourne, we are big believers in what they are trying to do as we seem to have the very same objectives!

Art Melbourne’s (& one hundredth gallery’s) formula is relatively simple: to provide a relaxed, unstuffy environment and lots of good quality original art. It creates the perfect environment to discover the art world without feeling intimidated.

Whilst Art Melbourne runs for 4 days each year, one hundredth gallery is your perpetual affordable art fair… open all year!

abstraction | 1 june – 17 june 2012

Abstraction is an exhibition by emerging abstract artists from all over Australia.

This exhibition is for those who have a love colour and texture and who enjoy a different portrayal of our natural environment. Each of the artists in this exhibition investigates and explores key influences through a diversity of starting points, texture and hues to create a vibrant and stimulating display of contemporary abstract expression.

The painting group from diverse backgrounds and ages have created works that are executed in a variety of techniques as they explore the physical environment and how it impacts on our emotions and perceptions; the internal dialogue portrayed in an array of colour, line and movement.

 

 

one hundredth gallery closes ‘A Picture Paints a Thousand Words’ by Adriana Seserko this weekend.

Combining contemporary and traditional motifs with a myriad of art movements, Adriana’s paintings delve into the unknown, exposing every facet of the human condition. Figurative, the characters portrayed in her paintings are a projection of life in the 21st century. From the monstrous to the angelic, humanity is made up of both light and shadow. A Picture Paints a Thousand Words has been one of our most successful exhibitions to date and this weekend is your last chance to see it in Melbourne before it travels to Canberra.

‘A Picture Paints a Thousand Words’ by Adriana Seserko closes at 6pm on Sunday 27 May 2012.
