Here’s somewhere I’ll gladly while away the hours.
Re-opened in February following a relocation to Clarence Street, Sydney, the Gaffa, a three level space devoted to showcasing the work of emerging artists and designers, is the kind of venue that the Sydney CBD has been waiting for.
‘A community platform for contemporary arts’ situated quite conveniently near my ugly bus stop at Town Hall, the Gaffa houses 4 separate Galleries, a café, an Arcade space and a Studio/Workshop on the 3rd floor to house resident studio artists (object and jewellery design).
The first trip here was actually a few days ago for the latest group exhibition opening on the 8th of April (running till the 20th) and while I did get stuck right in (snap snapping away) I’ll talk about each floor separately, because there is A LOT to get through… The Gaffa, while small has an amazing array of artists with completely different approaches and not much escapes my attention. Anyway, so lets start with the ground floor…
