What happens when a pixel gets so large it takes up the entire screen? What happens when you’re so insecure that you need a constantly nodding hat to gratify you with affirmation? Is the peak of popularity linked to online followers? And, why are robots trying to lure me into sex chat? Where is the line between the digital and the real?

About FluxKUNST

FluxKUNST is an initiative founded in 2016 by artists Erin Laurel Hayhow and Ursula Cooper which facilitates a platform for artists to exhibit artists internationally. Exhibiting artist in their own country, this initiative aims to encourage artists to show work across boarders – outside of their country of residence.

Our program consists of exhibitions taking place across Europe, the UK and Australia with a focus on new-media, video, installation and site specific works. FluxKUNST endeavours to actively contribute to the critical dialogue within the contemporary art community and aims to strengthen discussion surrounding emerging experimental art.

We acknowledge the Turrbal and Jagera people – the custodians and owners of the land on which this exhibition will be held – and their continuing culture and contribution to this region. We pay our respects to Elders – past, present and emerging. Sovereignty never ceded.

The Laundry Artspace is a Brisbane Artist Run Initiative, established in April 2015. The space is dedicated to exhibiting contemporary artists with a focus on interdisciplinary, collaborative and experimental practices. Characterised by its location on the lower level of an old Queenslander, we are interested in exhibitions that engage with the quasi-domestic space, critique the traditional gallery aesthetic and develop other critical discussions; contributing to the current broader discourse. Rather than attempt to change or hide the makeshift exhibition space, artists are encouraged to make site-specific works embracing this aesthetic and break away from the traditional gallery model. The laundry holds one-night-only events, with the aim of fostering camaraderie and collaboration among artists, strengthening the local arts community, and promoting a sense of support and pride amongst all artists in the current political and economic environment.
