James Hornsby is a multi-disciplinary artist known for his distinctive aesthetic and experimental approach to image making. His practice responds to our ever-increasing use of digital imaging technologies, suggesting that we are creating new and complex realities in equal parts out of control, beautiful, untrustworthy, and lucid. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Throwing back to PIVOT, our inaugural group exhibition exploring artist books. The exhibition that sought to highlight the connection between artists’ 2D wall works and their forays into artist books. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Included in this exhibition was Jo Lankester's artwork 'Cortex – Weipa II'. Louise Martin-Chew (Catalogue Essayist) states: 'Jo Lankester’s artists’ books reflect her thought processes and compositional ideas and provide a place to work through them, offering a counterpoint to her two-dimensional prints for the wall.'⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jo is apart of the stellar lineup of artists' (to be announced) included in our next iteration of PIVOT in June. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements to come!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

ARTIST TALK: Elisa Jane Carmichael, Saturday 24, 1

ARTIST TALK: Elisa Jane Carmichael, Saturday 24, 10:30am. RSVP via bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the last day of her solo show, Present Surroundings, Elisa Jane Carmichael will give an artist talk delving into details and material processes behind her most recent works. Onespace Gallery invites you to learn about themes considered in the show; nurturing country, climate change, the impacts of mining and recontextualising anthropological documentation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are delighted to invite you to explore the exhibition and join the conversation. Spaces will be limited, so RSVPs are required and will be taken until capacity is reached. RSVP Link in bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Exploring an exciting new range of materials such as cyanotypes and photograms, as well as a new range of woven forms, Elisa offers exceptional works with a regenerative approach. Katina Davidson (Curator for Indigenous Australian Art, QAGOMA) states; ‘“Present Surroundings ventures into the past with the help of Elisa’s matrilineal ancestors. While it acknowledges the long journey of restoring cultural heritage and knowledge, it also carves its own path through innovative techniques and materials, and sets its sights on the future of her beloved island home.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

During May of 2020, Fintan Magee released a series

During May of 2020, Fintan Magee released a series of artworks created during the initial COVID-19 lockdown. Focusing on two pot plants, each day Fintan painted the plants as a representation of resilience, growth and nurture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fintan states: ‘These works have been created in my studio during the Covid lockdowns. My inability to work with models or organise photoshoots during this period forced me to experiment with different subject matter. I came up with the concept of painting the same two potplants everyday for the entirety of the lockdowns. With each piece representing a day in isolation. My work is about story telling and my plan is create a narrative around me keeping these plants alive during isolation. Each work has also become like a meditation, the repetition of image and subject matter has allowed me to step away from building a concept for each piece and focus purely on the act of painting. This process means that each work becomes a 5-7 hour meditation. Helping my mental health during isolation while allowing me to tell a story of the human condition during the mundane reality of quarantine.’⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are able to view a selection of these works via the Onespace Gallery website via onespacegallery.com.au⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Onespace Gallery is proud to announce that represe

Onespace Gallery is proud to announce that represented Cairns-based artist Teho Ropeyarn has been invited to participate in the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, titled rīvus. Open to the public from 12 March – 13 June 2022, the exhibition will bring together existing and commissioned projects worldwide around the theme of rivers and waterways.

The Curatorium for the 23rd Biennale of Sydney states: ‘Indigenous knowledge has long understood non-human entities as living ancestral beings with a right to life that must be protected. But only recently have some plants, mountains and bodies of water been granted legal personhood. If we can recognise that a river has a voice, what might they say?’

Ropeyarn’s inclusion recognises the vital need for First Nations artists to bring to light significant historical events and issues. Ropeyarn states: “My artwork reflects the continuation of cultural knowledge passed down from generations long ago, onto our Elders, who are now passing on all aspects of culture; language, tribal stories, significant landmarks and rituals, dancing and beliefs to the next generation…We are in a day and age where culture and grass root knowledge is slowly deteriorating due to Elders passing, our ever-changing lifestyle and social disadvantages in our communities. Practicing art, is one way of maintaining and developing culture, and has always been a part of Aboriginal culture. Through this tradition, it will preserve my culture in one way for years to come.”

The Biennale of Sydney has created meaningful dialogues surrounding Australia since its inception in 1973 and we are excited to see what Teho Ropeyarn will bring to the conversation.

Congratulations to all selected artists together with Artistic Director José Roca and his curatorium; Paschal Daantos Berry, Anna Davis, Hannah Donnelly, and Talia Linz, as well as the whole team behind the 23rd Biennale of Sydney.

Despite our current circumstances preventing international travel, Zoe Porter’s artworks are traversing borders and are currently residing in Japan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Zoe's work has been included in the exhibition Ama Divers & Artists. Then & Now. Dive into Ijikacho & Jimbocho! from July 2020, an exhibition put on by the Ijika Ryokan Association, Toba Sea-Folk Museum, and the City of Toba. The artworks included in the exhibition are inspired by the traditional culture of ama divers of Ijikacho (Toba, Mie Pref), and historical depictions of ama in the ukiyo-e prints of Jimbocho (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Zoe's work in Japan is a continuation of her research trip and residency to Toba, Japan in 2019, which focused heavily on the local Ama (female free-divers). The ama have been recorded as early as 5,000 years ago and currently their numbers are dwindling yet this ancient tradition is still continued today. Zoe's works reference photographs taken by the artist, historical documentation of the Ama as well as illustrations of the traditional sea-folk and their practices in the Ukiyo-e.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To coincide with the aforementioned exhibition, a large-scale banner of Zoe's artwork Kaisō & Ama is on display in the town of Ijikacho, Japan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ruth Cho’s first online exhibition with Onespace

Ruth Cho’s first online exhibition with Onespace Gallery, 'Australian Knockoffs' showing online from 2 May - 2 June, challenges the dominant Eurocentric representations in Australian art history, despite our longstanding cultural diversity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cho's prints included in the exhibition appropriate very familiar compositions from iconic Australian art images - including Down on His Luck by Frederick McCubbin; Spring Frost by Elioth Gruner; Shearing the Rams by Tom Roberts and Charles Meere’s Australian Beach Pattern - to question the exclusivity of predominantly white Australian identity through this art museum trajectory.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be placed on the catalogue of works pre-release or to gain more information on the artist, please email info@onespacegallery.com.au⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
