4–14 Nov 2020

2020 has been undeniably challenging, yet for many, it offers the promise of transformation across hierarchies, economies and society. We have felt an increased sense of community and a determination to look toward a better future.

As an artist-run initiative at the forefront of contemporary art, BLINDSIDE is a leading platform for new and critical dialogues, contemporary art and bold ideas. We believe that artists and creative workers will be fundamental to post-COVID recovery; they will generate progressive ideas that enable us to rebuild our society in the coming months and years.

B-SIDE 2020 calls for the support of BLINDSIDE and its collaborating artists, writers and curators as we navigate the other side - life beyond the pandemic. It’s the start of the world as we want it.

We are pursuing a future in which we continue to strengthen our position as an important artist-run space in Melbourne, nationally and internationally; a space where artists are supported and the possibilities of critical practice are tested and realised. Our iconic site in the Nicholas Building, enduring reputation, strong governance and engaged team provide important mentorship and exposure to a broad range of practitioners and arts workers.

With the success of B-SIDE over the past three years we have been able to fund a portion of our gallery costs, allowing us to expand our artistic program and achieve our longstanding goal of becoming a free exhibition space for the first time in 2019. BLINDSIDE is seeking to further extend our support of artists, affirming the principle that all artists should be remunerated for their work and earn income.

Through B-SIDE 2020, we will grow our unique special curated projects, through which we are able to respond to global contexts as well as localised challenges within our community. We will continue to facilitate online projects that build on our digital innovations during COVID-19, and prioritise educational initiatives through an extensive program of talks, workshops and forums for artists, the general public and visiting school groups.

By purchasing an artwork or making a donation, you will be welcomed into a wonderful community of supporters whose impact is recognised through our exhibitions and programs, website and publications, and through special events and personal engagements with our artists, curators, educators and friends.

Come on the journey with us - we are stronger together.

Overview

B-SIDE’s aim is to raise funds through the sale of artworks to enable Blindside to continue to program pivotal exhibitions, facilitate critical and engaging public programs, and support arts writers and artists at all stages of their careers.

Blindside B-SIDE is supported by Creative Partnerships Australia through Plus1.

Blindside B-SIDE is supported by Creative Partnerships Australia through the Australian Cultural Fund.

This program takes place on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded - this land is stolen land. We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
