The exhibition will run from 18 August – 14 September.
Dispatch is a visual art exchange project between seven window gallery spaces across Australia. The project comprises a series of exchanges in which one space selects an artist to dispatch artwork to be exhibited in another space, and in return hosts an artist from another participating space. For each exhibition the host space will select a local writer to respond to the work. All artworks will simultaneously be exhibited on this dedicated website, along with this written response, to encourage engagement with every Dispatch exhibition around the country.

Solitary Cohabitation Revisited was originally developed for NCCA’s Boxset. Solitary Cohabitation, consist of three large perspex digital images, the images have been reprinted, deconstruction and reconstruction to create a new installation that considers it’s new environment

The post about the NCCA and Dispatch exchange program really shows how artists get to share their work across different spaces, which helps ideas travel and grow beyond one location. I found it interesting how each gallery both sends and hosts artists, creating a cycle of creativity and response. It reminded me of group projects where sharing ideas changed everything. During that time, I once used the engineering dissertation writing service while managing pressure. It shows how exchange, whether in art or study, builds deeper understanding
