Local artist Shân Primrose, known for her vibrant and eclectic style, will showcase her works in a new exhibition at MAC yapang in Lake Macquarie this Friday.
The Burmese-Australian artist will show her work alongside 18 other local artists as part of the Alternating the Cube exhibition until October.
“I’m extremely honoured to have been invited to show in this exhibition,” Shân said.
“I’m so passionate about giving emerging artists alternative paths to access the art world. Alternating the Cube’s artists all came from the Hunter Region and either run their own spaces, or rent spaces run by artists.”
Balancing multiple projects, Primrose is also preparing for her own solo exhibition in 2025. Besides her involvement with the Dangerfield collection and the MAC yapang exhibition, she has recently completed a lively mural at a café in Gateshead.
Other featured Alternating the Cube artists include Dino Consalvo, Virginia Cuppaidge, Michelle Gearin, Ellie Hannon, Holly Leonardson, Jaymie Maley, Patrick Mavety, Dan Nelson, Olivia Parsonage, Brett Piva, Braddon Snape, Melody Suranyi, Michelle Teear, Lezlie Tilley, Meg Walters, Ahn Wells and Graham Wilson.
“This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see these diverse talents come together in one place,” MAC yapang Curator Jasmine Kean said.
“It will investigate how models of the ‘artist-run space’ are a distinct alternative to the art institution. These models are a crucial step for many artists to gain critique, grow and contribute to their field.”
The Alternating the Cube exhibition kicks off this Friday 8 August with a meet and greet with the artists and runs through until 13 October 2024. Visit mac.lakemac.com.au for more information.
