  • (E)Merging 2020
    (e)merging 2020 2 Arrange whatever pieces come your way – Virginia Woolf, A Writer’s Diary Being the emerging curators of an exhibition of emerging artists with an open call out performs a tension between posturing and proselytising. The collective nature of (e)merging 2020 has shifted all the familiar rules and roles involved in exhibition making, and the intensity and immensity of this project is unparalleled in our experience. In 2019, Room01 Collective had our inaugural exhibition at First Floor Gallery, YMCA HQ in Leederville. Titled (cross)hatched, the exhibition was informed partly by the dwindling number of artists selected in the Hatched National Graduate Show at PICA (from 35 artists in 2017 to 18 artists in 2019, with just three from Western Australia). What started as a conversation about institutional critique between friends at a university enthusiastically transpired into a celebration of recent graduate practice. We salon-hung the works of 33 artists into 26 square metres of floor space in a single day. In 2020, our pieces drastically changed. Our Collective went from eight members to two, we gained 367 square metres of floor space in Old Customs House and the generous support of Artsource. We are proud to present the work of 42 artists, all within the first three years of their practice. This year, we wanted to function less as institutional irritant and to instead welcome and nurture collaborative curatorial and emerging artistic practice. Alongside the exhibition we presented a series of professional development workshops, open to all exhibiting artists. We have learned immensely from mentors in the field and are especially grateful for the support of Madeleine van der List, Leah Robbie and Sandra Murray.
