Housed
in an ‘Arts and Crafts’ style building in Marrickville, Sydney
Non Objective is located in one of Australia’s most
culturally diverse areas. Easily found via public transport, SNO
lies 6kms from the Sydney CBD (see the map in CONTACT
for details). The SNO Program is supported Marrickville Council,
and by the Australian Government through its Visual Arts and Crafts
Strategy. SNO is assisted by the NSW government through Arts NSW.
SNO coordinates activities held locally, nationally, and abroad.
There are three gallery rooms, a Sound Project facility, and an
Artist Studio (available via application). Artists are invited
once a month to show work and may choose an individual or more collaborative
engagement (see the ARCHIVE and ARTISTS
section for relevant material).
The central
idea that informed the inception and management of SNO's program
remains today. It is based on a critical appraisal of contemporary
Australian art and how it relates to a broader international spectrum. The
selected projects generally reflect a wide variety of approaches
to the plastic arts, new media, or any form that may provide a deepening
of the contemporary investigation into non-objective, concrete,
and abstract art in general. SNO attempts to critically balance
different levels of artistic experience, and the specialist program
aims to sustain a policy of innovation and integration of new ideas,
often by presenting established and emerging artists together. |
