Measured #2 by Sue Lorraine.

Gray Street Workshop is delighted to invite you to the launch of the 2022 Adelaide Fringe exhibition Measured #2

The exhibition is being shown in our specially fitted out POD and the ceremonial lifting of the roller door is on Thursday 3 March from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

Have you ever wondered how to measure the emotions of our time? Uncertainty, intimacy, anxiety, relief, reflection, introspection and aspiration.

Measured #2 is an installation of beguiling objects that tackle that very challenge. A personal contemplation on the measurable and unmeasurable limits and margins of a world in flux.

The exhibition hours are

4-5 March 11.00 - 5.00pm

11-13 March 11.00am - 5.00pm

18-20 March 11.00am - 5.00pm

or by appointment

Radiant Pavilion

Catherine, Sue and Jess have just returned from Melbourne where they were exhibiting Theatre of Detail at Funaki Project Space during Radiant Pavilion, a week long event includes urban interventions, performances and installations, as well as exhibitions, talks and open studios celebrating aspects of contemporary jewellery and object practice. Fingers crossed this is the first of many radiant pavilions!!!

It was an action packed week and we were thrilled to be a part of it. We had scores of people through the gallery each day and a fantastic response to our work and lots of people interested in coming an working with us at Gray Street.

Crossley Street was also being occupied by a number of New Zealand jewellers, it was so nice to spend some time with them and we are super excited about spending more time with them in their respective home towns when we take Theatre of Detail to New Zealand in March 2016.

Thank you to all those who attended our Theatrette during the Adelaide Fringe Festival, showing Provocations: inimitable voices, the body & progressive thinking. A film event curated by Sim Luttin and presented by Gray Street Workshop. Two programs that aim to provoke questions about art and craft practice, the body, its boundaries and innovative ways of thinking all in our very own driveway cinema!
