Commune.1

Founded in 2011, Commune.1’s main gallery is dedicated to large-scale installation and sculpture. It is one of the few spaces in the country that offers a platform for artists interested in creating immersive environments with gallery-spanning art. By doing this it aims to expose new and established audiences to art ‘experiences’ rather than the more traditional modes associated with commercial art galleries.

Inherently functional objects have their functionality removed: a cast concrete light bulb incapable of shedding light, a core-drilled set of Encyclopedia’s with it’s ‘core’ unusable, the removed parts suspended in an acrylic vial on the other side of the gallery, and a traditional library-style index card drawer cast in bronze and thereby rendered impenetrable.
