There Goes The Neighbourhood
Wed, 14 Mar - Sun, 18 Mar 2012
The Tate, Sydney
The guys behind Lo-Fi have now breathed new life into the formerly unassuming Toxteth Hotel on Glebe Point Road. But instead of the draw card being $5.50 tacos, it’s a feast for the eyes presented by emerging local artists. As part of a plan to bridge the gap between Sydney’s arts education system and the art industry, the top level has been turned into five rent-free studio spaces plus a gallery called The Tate, where burgeoning young talent can be harnessed and put on show. The first exhibition to take place will be There Goes the Neighbourhood, a group show with all works serving as invitations to reclaim ownership of the once-bohemian surburb of Glebe.
