SINCERELY YOURS | 3D TOUR

Curated by Sophia Cai, Sincerely Yours was a group exhibition across two neighbouring galleries at Collingwood Yards: Arts Project Australia and West Space. The exhibition brought together a wide range of contemporary artists, including Arts Project studio artists, exploring fandom theory and the different ways artists and audiences engage with objects or subjects that inspire fannish love and devotion.

Sincerely Yours brought together artists whose work speaks to the deep, earth-shattering passion for popular culture. We all have desires that keep us grounded, even when the world around us feels like it’s falling apart. Exhibiting artists included Alanna Dodd, Amy Meng, Ari Tampubolon, Carly Snoswell, Daniel Pace, Danny Lyons, Dylan Goh, Jenny Ngo, Mel Dixon, Miles Howard-Wilks, Nick Capaldo, and Raquel Caballero. 

An exhibition zine was available to collect, it contained newly commissioned fan fiction texts by Natasha Hertanto, Jinghua Qian, Diego Ramirez and Sunanda Sachatrakul. The first 200 zines came with a limited edition risograph printed cover featuring work by Jenny Ngo. The essays were hosted by West Space Offsite and are available to read here and the zine downloaded here.
