The Cross Art Projects Contemporary Art and Curatorial Platforms 8 Llankelly Place, Hours: 11 to 6 Thursday to Saturday T: (02) 93572058 Curatorial Assistant: vacant Curatorium: Fiona MacDonald, Ruark Lewis, Deborah Vaughan Find us: Llankelly Place/Lane is just off Orwell Street/Macleay Street. The gallery is 5 minutes walk from Kings Cross Station or 2 minutes from the 311 bus. Park at Kings Cross Car Park on Ward Avenue and walk across Fitzroy Gardens.
Details: The Cross Art Projects foregrounds contemporary work that reflects the multiple relationships between art and life, art and the public sphere and explores the boundaries of this context. We are attentive to the local without sacrificing the scope of an international view. Cross Art enhances its projects with conversations, roundtables and screenings including talks by local activist, architectural and heritage groups.
Manifesto: Cross Art assumes the form of a contemporary art gallery, yet seeks to uphold a sustainable cultural economy that reflects contemporary artistic labour. Cross Art presents curated exhibitions (about half the program) and work by artists who create critical projects that question and/or reflect our present circumstances and whose work has a rigorous conceptual foundation.
The Cross Art Projects is a not-for-profit curatorial initiative founded by Jo Holder in September 2003 and run by a small group of artists and independent curators. We moved in late 2009 to Llankelly Place after working at 33 Roslyn Street in Kings Cross in tandem with Cross Books.
