Arts Project at Spring1883

Arts Project Australia returned to Spring1883 in August 2023 for a fourth hotel room intervention

In 2023 APA presented a collection of expressive and tactile works that speak to notions of fondness and endearment.

Responding to Room 230, Objects of Affection included work by emerging, mid-career and established artists, reflecting upon the diversity of practices and interests of APA’s artists. The presentation featured works that provoke feelings of tender attachment, exploring the bonds we make in life with objects, both animate and inanimate, and the spirited connection that lingers long after. Included in the collection were paintings, drawings, photography, soft sculpture and ceramics.
