Soft Site

Overview

Accidentally Annie Street Space is a Brisbane-based, artist-led initiative that has been operating out of the living room of its directors on Annie Street, Auchenflower, since 2008. In years past, AASS has been home (literally) to exhibitions such as Pixel/Stitch and House Party.

This year, Accidentally Annie Street Space launches its new off site program with Soft Site, a one-night-only exhibition that playfully engages the notion of a cheap motel room as a site for a contemporary art exhibition. Risk, intrigue, sex, escapism, anonymity – the cheap motel room is laden with delicious possibilities. Soft Site marks a shift in Accidentally Annie Street Space’s style, being the first in a program of shows that no longer rely solely on the director’s home as a gallery.

Based out of a motel room in Kangaroo Point, Soft Site will feature experimental works by Brisbane artists Chris Bennie, Tim Woodward and Victorian-based Lou Hubbard in an exhibition that aims to demonstrate the vitality of Brisbane’s artistic production outside of commercially orientated or institutional spaces.

Accidentally Annie Street Space’s Offsite program is a unique and exciting addition to the burgeoning Brisbane art scene.
