West Space Studio

West Space provides a fully subsidised studio above our gallery and office.

Our resident artists work alongside the thriving community of creatives in the Collingwood Yards studios and tenancies, with the support of our team.

Now: Andrea Illés (Naarm/Melbourne)

Andrea Illés is a transdisciplinary artist who finds opportunities in objects, video, sound, and performance to embrace chaos and subvert colonisation and its racialised and gendered hegemony.

In 2023, Andrea presented the collaborative, performance project WARM ARCHIVE in the West Space Window. We are thrilled to invest in her practice in this way.

Andrea takes up residence from February to August as part of our partnership with the VCA Honours program.

Previous: Tintin Cooper (Bangkok/Berlin)

Tintin Cooper completed a residency at West Space in early 2024 as part of Creative Australia’s Debra Porch Award: Visual Arts Residency.

Tintin Cooper works across video, light, painting and sculpture, using humour to explore expansive themes of sport, nationhood, and pseudo-spirituality fads. She has shown across the Tate Britain, Transmediale, Sydney Biennial and Bangkok Biennial.

In February, we held an Artist Talk with Tintin introduce her to our community.
