Torn Edges is the Dirty Hands Collective’s 3rd group show, showcasing a wide array of printmaking practices commonly (and not so commonly) used today.

The exhibition is a collaboration between 9 talented young printmakers with a multitude of different aesthetic and conceptual practices, each testing the boundaries of their practice and taking printmaking to the cutting edge.

Dirty Hands have chosen to adopt the concept of torn edges for their show at Hardware Gallery. Referencing the deckled edge often seen in fine art printmaking, and also the tearing away from traditional practices of printmaking and testing new boundaries, playing with combinations of new and old techniques, whilst still retaining a love for quality fine art printmaking.

Hardware Gallery has over ten years experience in exhibiting and dealing in Australian contemporary art. In 2006 the gallery relocated to Enmore in Sydney’s inner west. In August 2008 Hardware Gallery expanded it’s current premises and doubled its exhibition space. The expanded space includes a shop-front gallery and retail section where paintings, drawings and prints from our extensive stockroom are on permanent display.

As part of our recent expansion, Hardware Gallery is seeking expressions of interest for exhibitions from artists and curators for our 2009 and 2010 exhibition program. If you are interested to find out more, please contact us by email – we will be sending out proposal packages to everyone later this year.

2009 will see our most impressive line up ever, which will include a national art prize, collaborations with other galleries and of course, our 10th birthday. And as usual we will be staging some of the most dynamic and interactive group shows ever. So why not be a part of all the fun, get in touch with us and register your interest in showing at Hardware Gallery.
