Off-site with Constance ARI

Constance ARI co-chair, Hannah Foley, will give insight into Constance’s site-less model, discussing the challenges and opportunities that come with presenting arts projects outside of traditional gallery spaces. This talk will examine a number of past Constance ARI projects, the emerging Holding Space residency project – a collaboration with UTAS School of Creative Arts and Media – and the return of arts festival Hobiennale. Hannah will also touch on pathways for students and emerging artists to become involved.

About Constance ARI

CONSTANCE is an off-site, project-based A.R.I (Artist Run Initiative) based in nipaluna / Hobart. CONSTANCE is focused on creating critical dialogues and engagement within, and beyond, the local Tasmanian arts community through supporting experimental and critical praxis.

We create paid opportunities for early career arts practitioners to develop and present innovative and experimental work in varied settings. CONSTANCE provides artists with critical support, resources, and audience engagement to realise quality projects.

CONSTANCE projects are situated in, and responsive to, a wide variety of sites. Our projects have occupied historic buildings, vacant real estate, underground spaces, city streets, arts festivals and partnered with conventional galleries.

This event will be live at the Dechaineux LT, Hunter Street Campus and streamed to Rory Spence LT on the Inveresk Campus. If you are unable to attend in person please join us via zoom https://utas.zoom.us/j/8902763... Meeting ID: 890 2763 7580
