4A LAB - EXHIBITION APPLICATION

Applications close 21 March 2024, 12:59pm

4A Lab is pleased to announce a new opportunity for emerging Asian diasporic artists. We are offering three exhibition slots throughout the year in our gallery space, with each artist receiving funding and support from the 4A team.

This opportunity will priorities research and art grounded in experimentation, technology, and change. Exhibitions should be both experimental and innovative, capable of reflecting the evolving nature of our physical and virtual worlds.

Each exhibition will run for one week, aiming to connect the hyperlocal with the global, centering diasporic networks that utilise new technologies across screens, virtual worlds, and 4A LAB.
