For over 20 years, SPACED has been producing and commissioning context-responsive and socially engaged art projects across the whole of Western Australia and beyond.
At SPACED, we combine artistic experimentation with social participation.
Rural Utopias (2019-23). A program in rural and remote Western Australia. Artists Jacky Cheng with Salvatore Caruso and Nigel Smith, Jo Darbyshire with Andrea Williams, Nathan Gray, Alana Hunt, Georgie Mattingley, Bennett Miller, Elizabeth Pedler, Sarah Rodigari, Tina Stefanou and Ana Tiquia developed new works alongside their host communities, responding to new social, environmental, and historical contexts.
Know Thy Neighbour #3 (2021-23). A provocation to the familiarity of place, asking communities to step outside of familiar engagements and locations; to seek out scenarios or contexts that defamiliarize and recontextualise “the local” for communities, audiences, or the artists themselves and ask how we can meaningfully engage in the making of our cities.
