Depot Artspace Gallery opening this Saturday with performances at 3pm
Our gallery doors officially open this Saturday 22 January for 2022 with 2 new exhibitions to welcome us into the new year!
Opening events are from 2-4pm with special dance and music performance at 3pm by exhibitor Dylan-Blanc Huata and his sister Mistee K.
Future Propositions exhibition presents the collective workings of regional Victorian (Australia based) artists Genevieve Thornton and Elise Lidgett and Aotearoa New Zealand artist Michelle Mayn. The exhibition combines sculpture, video and photography which explores our unknown futures, speculating on life and relationships, looking to the force of the present as it writes the paths of the future..
Hi There, Haere is a solo exhibition of Dylan-Blanc Huata which presents the audience with the honest and harsh lifestyle of Māori & kiwis living comfortably and in poverty. From financial struggles to domestic abuse, Dylan Blanc’s take is defined through a disorganised, vibrant and abstract style.

15% ... It is complicated
