Unrepresented

Unrepresented is an exhibition of five outstanding independent visual artists including emerging artists Ted McKinlay, Chloe Vallance, Nicholas Jones and Ben V Walsh alongside established independent artist Christopher Koller.

Coinciding deliberately with the Melbourne Art Fair, which is an exhibition of leading contemporary art chosen and presented by over 80 national and international galleries, Unrepresented responds to the vagaries and minefields of the art world that contemporary artists encounter. While most artists see representation by a gallery as the best possible situation, others deliberately remain outside the accepted system.

Unrepresented is curated by Walk to Art director, Bernadette Alibrando who has delved beneath the surface of Melbourne’s commercial gallery scene, and has selected five diverse artists who are excellent at their craft, have refined concepts, conceptual and emotional content in their work, underlying drive and have chosen to remain independent.

Unrepresented culminates with the forum
